Congressmen are expected by their parties to spend 4 or so hours per day, every single day, calling people and asking them for money. 28+ hours per week calling people and asking them for money, every single week, during their entire caree

To hold down wages? If there were any shortage, why are IT wages absolutely flat? If there were any shortage, why the famous pickiness exhibited by every company in their interview process? http://cis.org/no-stem-shortage

If you actually believe that, I pity you. The reality is that CEOs talk up a shortage while holding salaries absolutely steady and even while laying off thousands of programmers: http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik&

Uh-huh. But there's no venture capital available for merely facilitating paying interactions between people, unless you plan to take a large cut. Uber is currently grabbing about 30% of the revenue stream that passes through it, and e

This is like saying "it's not my fault that trains have a lot of mass and kinetic energy", after you are warned against pushing people in front of them and do it anyway.

If you read the case materials, you discover her peers and superiors generally rated her performance as exceeding expectations.

Absolutely correct. There's no way that any moderately-intelligent woman would ever take the job now. Perhaps a fairly dim, elderly man who doesn't know much about social media and therefore is immune to the storms of reddit.

That's quite a defense of harassing fat women that you've written.

Banning a number of subreddits that you can count with the fingers on one hand, and zero users, is swinging the hammer down hard? What would be a light touch, then?

It shows to me that she was dogged by misogynists and MRAs excited by the discrimination lawsuit, from the start of her Reddit tenure through to the end. In a similar fashion, if Barack Obama posted something like "Mom and apple pie ar

Google knows where every Android user and most of everyone else lives and works. Frankly it would be trivial to ask Android users a question: "Are you interested in carpooling? [Y/N]" and then prompt them when the guy three

Since this is actual carpooling, unlike Uber, there won't be any regulatory pushback. Every jurisdiction loves carpooling.

So, someone got booted out of the ubuntu forums for being a dick and then instead of growing up, decided to make a tumblr blog. Is that a correct reading of the situation here?

by jellicle 11y ago
This was obvious from the beginning. There's really not the slightest doubt that all government authorities are going to classify Uber employees as employees, except perhaps a few that might be bribed/pressured into not doing so.

Urgh, when I saw the downvotes I figured it would be people who knew nothing about NYC's rent laws except had heard the phrase "rent stabilized" and decided for themselves what it meant. And I was right. Every vacant apart

The type of "price controls" that you are railing against do not exist in New York City and to the best of my knowledge have never existed there. Maybe during World War II.

This is just a set of political predictions. There's no reason such policies must exist in the future, except for the wealthy people pushing them. For example, a country could pass some laws: "For all corporations over 10 employe

If you rob a bank for $10,000, and later give the money back, it doesn't eliminate the bank robbery charge. Probably doesn't even reduce the sentence. The writer has admitted to a felony (several felonies, actually) in his post.
