Trump abusing laws? Say it ain't so!

So you want one more actor to censor and double penetrate? Makes sense!

So prior restraint on speech? Not going to fly.

Congress can make laws that directly affect said companies, hardly not "anything".

And Banana Pi, better designed hardware. Lots of alternatives.

It is the fault of Pi hardware when it still refuses to provide a hardware shutdown button for proper file system unmounts, after all these years.

Imagine what you could do with a newspaper where the editor has editorial control. Oh the horrors!

It is also violation of free association, because social apps have a community aspect.

Is "cutting the queue" (what this is) an unintended consequence of having a queue? It's perfectly normal behavior. Maybe it gets resolved socially, or the solution could involve tracking whether the follow-up movement happene

There is no difference. It's a relabeling of hours.

The reimbursement requirement is baselined with respect to minimum wage, so it could be effectively $0. If it is not $0, the form would be additional W-2 pay, which is allowed by law, and this would be subject to all taxes. On top of the ta

by pishpash 6y ago
Taxes are on earnings after top-of-the-line deductions for business expenses including gas and depreciation that they'd lose on the W-2. Drivers aren't stupid as you think.

Why even scrape with a pick, at that point, just bang the lock and get the impulse response.

"If a key is inserted at a nonconstant speed, the analysis can be ruined, but the software can compensate for small speed variations." (That and noise.) Can we say academic project?

The sticking point is Prong B and here you're talking about Prong A. Re-evaluate with respect to Prong B. What's Airbnb's customary work or business? What's Amazon's and Ebay's? Do "people" "thin

No, that's delusional. The state is at most interested in recouping revenue because it's out of money due to Covid. There are proposals on the table that would realistically improve the environment around gig work, but the state d

You're missing the point. The environment being created makes rides less fair, safe and non-discriminatory. That is what ignoring basic economics does in this case. What are you arguing for, exactly?
979.
by pishpash 6y ago
Then just come out and make a clean law against gig work. That's not what's done though. It's fine to be politically motivated, however it's not good faith to be motivated against specific businesses while pretending to

Already the landlord hiring a painter example is getting tricky. That is required upkeep of the property. What about hiring a manager? What distinguishes that from hiring a painter? Regardless, I see you specifically haven't addressed

Please first define what is "work in the usual course of business". What work that any contractor does, given that it is work contracted for a necessary economic purpose within the business of the contracting party, isn't wit

It's clear to me that Prong B of AB5 is broken and it's not fixable, except by arbitrary exemptions galore. Rather than admitting this, the state seems hellbent on shoehorning this law into something politically motivated against

Beyond debate by whom? Are you a driver? It is highly debatable whether the conditions are poor or that drivers do not want this kind of job vs. say, working at McDonald's.

Except in this case they make it less fair, safe and non-discriminatory because those in government think they can ignore basic economics.

You vote for politicians whose ideology is to micromanage your life including taking a cut of your money, you get exactly that.

It is both, and in its arbitrary application, it's even worse than a purely anti-free-market move, because it's not even principled. Isolationism and domestic protectionism, if those were the given reasons, would at least be princ

Last year you may have been right, but with Pence, then Pompeo making Cold War declarations, it seems quite a bit more than that.

Ads are sold on the platforms for clicks outside China. There may be other B2B revenue streams.

That's directly contradicted by the success of media exports from China lately, already in Asia but it's beginning to cross the language barrier into English Youtube, despite the firewall. In fact it shows it's money and comp

And how does following suit not in fact ratify the business model because now banning on security grounds is legitimate? (Note that nowhere is the justification or condition stated to be one of reciprocal market access.) Isn't it inter
