In this scenario, Uber should be able to maintain their own cars at a lower cost than individual car owners can, due to their scale. They would also probably be able to buy the cars for less to begin with. Keeping in mind that Hypercar woul

I think the fact that they are paid less, in the context of the video, implies there is less demand for them (probably much less as I assume they are also in shorter supply. Could be wrong about that though). If there is less demand, and th

I don't actually know how iOS deals with this, but judging by the fact that iOS says "turning on wifi will improve location accuracy" when wifi is off makes me think it's really off for all purposes.

It could also be said that mechanical watches are rubbish for keeping time compared to their digital counterparts. Always gradually moving away from accurate timekeeping, they must be rewound to keep proper time. They don't sync with t

Mechanical watches don't move continuously because movements of the hands are controlled by gears with a finite number of teeth. As for the "simulacrum" comment, don't forget that watches are just a mechanical simulation

How is arguing an empirical or theoretical point "off putting"? You say you don't know the paper well enough to criticize it, but I suggest you read the introduction. It is not technical at all and I'm not sure how you c

I'll admit I'm not familiar with healthcare in Europe, but surely there are people whose job it is to estimate the cost of providing healthcare and estimate the probability of certain health events occurring.

Right, I think a good way to draw that line is to not include employees who work for more than just the one company. Foxconn manufactures products for more companies than just Apple. Major Customers of Foxconn http://en.wikipedia

The value you add to the company is not based on how many customers were gained from your completion of task X or similar metrics. If you decrease hosting costs by $15k per month and only get paid $5k per month but dozens of others would do

I don't understand the distinction between creators and publishers. When you create a video for youtube don't you publish it yourself? Edit: After looking at other articles, I assume the pie chart refers to situations where a copy
