You can't straight up share most things between platforms. You have to adjust layouts and resources into the sizes and formats dictated by the platforms.

"Hours" implies that it's all linear; that one task can't go until the previous is done. "Man Hours" indicates that it's the amount of time needed to complete the task, but isn't solely dependent on l

I can totally see a potential client pointing to this site when they hear my quote, except they've put the hourly rate at like $10.

Then go right ahead and do it. And when you're behind, because you keep underestimating difficulty, and the client is tired of your excuses, one of us will swoop in and show them how a real developer works.

Because too many people believe in "meritocracy", but forget that there are no real objective measures to decide who is better than the other. So it all too often falls to people to decide, and people have biases.

No, no, they're totally disrupting the field of statistical analysis. That's why they need a new name.

"I think it's important to ask if the laws are necessary or helpful." I think it would have been important for UBER to ask this, and then lobby to change the law. I absolutely do not think that is relevant when talking about

"You know a $40 billion company wouldn't be a scam." How much was Bernie Madoff's fund worth when he was arrested?

Why are they entitled to profit?

"Why do you believe there is a need for this? Vetting of drivers, saftey etc can all be done under private insurance and/or review systems" Not really, considering none of them have worked very well so far. "This idea th

"These regulations pre-dated the internet. " That means absolutely nothing. People were capable of making decisions before the internet, you know. "They existed in a time before information was easily shared and available. If

No, you absolutely cannot.

Except Uber wants those laws on the books, because they consider disregarding the law a competitive advantage. Otherwise they'd be lobbying for the laws to be changed. Instead, they're just flaunting the law everywhere, and crying

Email tends to work better for things you want to archive. Especially if you're not actually paying for Slack.

I'm sure he likes that part of it, but does he like how Uber does things specifically?

Yeah, and in those towns, rent is insanely high for the area as well. Is that because fast food workers are being paid $11+/hour? Or is it possibly that the managers know that the oil people have crazy amounts of money, and they'r

Why do we care about people who treat property as an investment, rather than actually using the property?

I don't see any moral hazard. If anything, not providing housing for those who don't have it is the morally hazardous path.

No it didn't. We don't have Single Payer here in the US.

Nope. The Tea Party will scream and yell that the government wants to give welfare queens Cadillacs, and that's all anyone will hear. I want Basic Income to happen. But I also know that there are a lot of people who benefit from it not

That seems unlikely considering Uber's entire business model is based around offloading as much of the liability and risk as possible onto their "contractors".

You're completely insane if you think workers are "voluntarily" opting out of worker protection laws.

Yet, if you don't log in during off-peak hours enough, you end up getting pushed down the list, essentially being punished for not working certain hours.

by s73v3r 11y ago
Except, as has been shown time and again, people who take advantage of that flexibility end up being punished, making the flexibility not really flexible. Uber, for instance, will stop offering you gigs if you turn too many down, or don&#x2

I'm sorry, but I don't buy any of that for a second. Further, youth employment should not be considered more important than the employment of people who DO need to support themselves.

So basically, things that will not happen in the US anytime soon.
809.
by s73v3r 11y ago
Yeah, that probably won't happen. There is simply too much political opposition to the idea of basic income in the US.

Why do people who say this always assume they're the ones making the most, and aren't the lowballed ones?
