   Why is that? If I have a job and I know exactly how I want it's done then I can't hire a contractor?

   It doesn't make sense engineering and product wise to pay the drivers on the estimate instead of waiting for the trip to finish and do the fare calculation. So I think the latter sounds reasonable.

   I think you're misinformed. Drivers are not paid with the percentage of the ride. THey're paid by miles and minutes.

   I think what the driver is arguing is that Uber changed its business model from black car only to including UberX and UberPool which drove the price of a trip down and less people using black car. I think this is perfectly reasonable, it&#x

   That still doesn't justify it though. Uber also took a public opposition stance against Trump [1][2]. Having a seat at the table doesn't mean they agree with Trump on EVERYTHING. It just means a chance to voice their opinions. [1]

   So you think by agreeing to be on Trump's advisory board, Uber agrees with the immigration ban? I guess GM, Tesla, Disney, etc are probably pretending to "stand up for what's right" too , right?

   I don't get it. How about other people that were not part of the protest and were trying to get home/get to the airport? How about the Uber drivers trying to make a living? Just because they were not part of your protest you'

   Capitalism works best without the laws (not all but most of them). Capitalism relies on the fact that producers and consumers are free to choose whatever the best options presented to them. The market should make the decisions, not the gove

    but if the laws that protect workers' rights are so good, why do they even stay with Uber? You yourself said Uber doesn't follow minimum wage law or protect the workers' rights. Doesn't that mean the ride-sharing market,

    What do you expect Uber/Lyft to do differently? Minimum wage for drivers? We have capitalism. If you think the drivers don't get a lot of money, why don't all of them quit after the first paycheck? It's capitalism, no on

    Lol, you have cheap rides because Uber pays a part of it for you. If a ride is worth $10 to a driver then the driver still get $10 no matter if you pay $5 for the ride. Without Uber, a lot of people will be unemployed. Tell me how the drive

    I think the point of the take home code example is just filtering out candidates who don't really know how to code. So, I personally think it's ok if you don't pass ALL the tests. An experienced candidate when presented with
