There's another side to the equation of course. Drivers have a choice. If Uber were to "squeeze drivers", drivers would stop driving for them. They'd drive for Lyft. They'd drive for some other company. They'd

The answer is in the first sentence of the fourth paragraph. "As I explain in my book..." This is advertising.

I was really hoping this article would have been about how Paris of 2019 has lost some of it's charm compared to Paris of 2008 and before. Need to find an article about that.

Perhaps you're confusing moderation and flagging. Users themselves get tired of bitcoin flogging and bitcoin bashing, over and over again. Variety is the spice of life.

1 moderator is infinitely better than 0. I run a group of 20,000+ people, and if I didn't set the tone on what the group is about, regularly, the value of it would drop to nothing. I love my community. But I absolutely recognize the ro

If you buy faaaaacebook.com, that's probably a violation of trademark law but that's not squatting. If you buy facebook.co and try to sell it to Facebook for $1 million, that's squatting.

I get that people misuse words sometimes, and occasionally the definition of those words changes to match the common use. But still, squatting is not "someone bought a domain that used to be mine. And when I asked to buy it back, the p

Except, you know, if Grubhub's contract with the restaurant allowed them to do this.

There's a German fine for a police officer where he used the license plate of a "random acquaintance" to get their landline and mobile phone numbers and then used that to call them. This was for personal reasons and not relat

If so, Chase pays a fee to one of the big three credit reporting agencies to monitor this. The fee is still paid to the ones that hold the data.

I think a lot of people don't know what "domain squatting" is. If there's a domain you want, but someone else has it but is not using it, that's not squatting. If you let your personal name domain expire, and someon

I mean, there's like 40 days to renew a domain once it expires. So you want to extend 40 days to 365? [1] The thing is, if you forgot to renew your domain, and didn't do it even 40 days after the expiry date, are you going to do i

Um, no thank you. I've seen a mugging in Brazil. They are so frequent there that everyone I talked to has been mugged on the street. Friends of mine have been carjacked and kidnapped for 8 hours. The police won't investigate a mug

It's not removed. Just not recommended.

The settlement is quite ridiculous actually. $200 million in fines to the states and federal government. $300-$500 million to reimburse consumers for actual expenses they incurred. And $31 million to anyone otherwise affected. They could ha

Their job does not include notifying you of negative changes to your credit though.

Any evidence that this "10 years" of credit monitoring automatically renews at $125/year?

by unreal37 7y ago
No, their settlement with the FTC calls for a $31 million CASH pool of money to pay out to people affected. This is not for "paying" for credit monitoring. Let's assume 20 million people have already made a claim against that

That's not the way DoorDash worked actually. They offered $1 per delivery plus tips, and would increase the wage if the tips didn't meet the expectation. If you tipped the driver $100, the driver would get $101. If you tipped the

Oh no doubt the pizza shop keeps the "delivery charge". But pizza is a delivery food. Dominos doesn't even have seats. 90% of what it does is delivery. So the "overhead of running a delivery program" is just a busin

I think there has to be a cultural shift. There are many past behaviors that were once normal, that are now considered rude or socially unacceptable. It starts with minimum wage laws changing so that waiters and bartenders are not exempt fr

by unreal37 7y ago
But that's OK. They should lower the amount that they offer for a delivery to not include the tip. And then drivers will refuse to work for them and they'll be forced to increase it. Supply and demand.

Unions are not better. This isn't 1888 any more. They charge the employees a fee every paycheck, but when you need them, they'll do what's in their best interest not yours. As a teen, I was forced to quit a job (with my union

I think North America really needs to re-evaluate this concept of tips. The rules of what to tip and when are intentionally vague because it's a sensitive subject. We should move to "fair pay", that includes slightly increase

I absolutely support the label being clear. There should be no pictures of chickens on the label and no need to try to trick people into thinking there is chicken in there. But to say the word "nugget" is restricted to only chicke

It should be cheaper to produce plants than to raise a cow. So it won't be long before plant-based protein is cheaper than beef. It's not "undercutting" so much as the fact it's cheaper to produce.

To be clear, these laws are saying you can't use the word "burger" with anything other than the flesh of animals. Not meat - burger. Nobody is being fooled by the "veggie burger" containing animals. Nobody. It'

There's a vegan restaurant in town that has "pulled pork sandwich" listed on it's menu. That's misleading when there is no pork in it. No one needs to be tricked to eat these delicious plant-based proteins.

I'm 100% in favor of consumers not being misled. Truth in labels. But veggie burgers have been around for 20 years and nobody has been "fooled" into thinking they are beef. The word burger doesn't mean "cow". T

It's pro "big business" ... as long as that big business is a big employer in their state and is big in helping them get reelected.
