"Umm, sorry your honor this is not collusion, just the invisible hand of the free market guiding me when and when not to accept a ride." What are some legal precedents of independent contractors of similar scale being found guilty

That's why I only support non-US oligarchs.

It's not that I want them to get fired, I'm just aware that the whole point of an in-house ethics committee is to excuse the objectionable stuff, not to publicly criticize it. Sort of like when people complain that HR wasn't

Nice! Is it publicly available? I wonder what percentage of regular full-time drivers need to participate for the occasional driver to not matter. But yeah, even if it did work there's always the threat of politicians being bought to m

I guess, to some extent. If Uber figures out that drivers are currently participating in a mini-strike, they could just not increase the fare. But then it's just a matter of who's willing to wait it out longer. I just think driver

I'm surprised there aren't more independent apps geared towards maximizing earning for drivers. Like it can't be that hard to create an artificial surge price if there's enough coordination between most regular drivers a

I always have to remind myself of our glorious GDP growth as I use food stamps to buy groceries after clocking out of a 12 hour shift at Walmart.

Yeah, but can mine crypto?

Don't even need two way communication for that I think. A radar should do the trick (although the example video only shows it from a stationary vehicle) https://engineering.princeton.edu/news/2020/06/24&#

This also blocks substacks and blogs btw. Hopefully, this just leads to more sources getting classified as "news media" and eventually stops any meaningful linking and thereby making Facebook useless in Australia at least. One can

That's ridiculous. I always thought the point of rolling blackouts was to make sure no one area was without power for too long.

Record keeping has always been one of the most important and key parts of any government.

Anyone have break down of which areas had their power cut for how long?

Bitcoins of mass destruction. Going to war over BTC control sounds absurd. But so does $50k a pop. So who knows.

> All drivers need to do to refuel is swap out the old cartridge for a new one and fill a tank with water. Interesting. So the paste is being mixed with water to release the hydrogen gas? What happens to cartridge after? Do you just refi

I wonder if you can narrow down what types of fiber the twine was made out of and rule out plants native to North America?

This is purely anecdotal, but I've found driving like a "grandma" makes the drive completely stress free even in bumper to bumper traffic on the freeway. Just pick the center lane and set the cruise control to just around the

I know right, can't even discuss how best to enrich uranium these days without it being made all political or getting assassinated.

That's interesting. I'm the complete opposite. Highway driving is the least taxing -- I can do it subconsciously. It's the more difficult first/last 15 mins of stop and go that I want automated. I could care less about t

Are the workers that are getting paid in advance 6.2% more productive or are the workers not getting paid in advance 6.2% less productive because of that? Both scenarios make sense to me. I can envision working better if I don't have t

This makes so much sense in hindsight. Like I'm conscious of the decision to bump up the volume, but never even thought about the possible damage. Thanks!

Not sure you can call this UBI. It's targeted aid to those most (visibly) in need. At the very least UBI should be universal. As well as social programs. Otherwise you'll just end up fomenting tensions among those who receive it a

Considering it's open-sourced, I presume nothing is stopping a no-ads community fork. Unless the license is fake open-source.
