Uber and other "on-demand" apps are literally the opposite of "guaranteed" job security. There is a finite amount of job potential which you are able to compete for. That's why Uber drivers often drive for Lyft as w

Not sure why this is surprising. This is an entirely different team with different priorities. Look at any large company and you will see how they fail to utilize what another department has done or advocates.

Ah yes governments always trying to make things too complicated!! Argh! Why cant we replace the govt with the private sector! They never do anything that would obscure or needlessly complicate things.

This seems like a very short-sighted post that mainly serves as a dig on the credit card industry for an ideological reason. They can use systems like Authorize.net and the fees are very reasonable. There are LOTS of reasons that credit car

Your argument is pointless. Assume that someone who was not aware that shop.com should never be available for $500 made the purchase. They deserve to be scammed? No. The entire reason Paypal exists as a Third-Party payment processor is to e

Because the "Uberized" system (at the moment) will still rely on individual vehicles. There is simply no way to compete in price with this set up. The true stupidity of the pro-Uber flock is that they are accepting Uber's &qu

Private companies may be held more accountable, but they are done so by a much smaller group of people. I think its also fairly evident that when a private company harms the general public, the only thing keeping them accountable is the gov

Not really relevant to the point, but... While being stung by a bee hurts, I doubt the is deciding to intentionally harm us. They are instead acting on instinct and defending against what they consider to be a threat.

and what about all the ways they can unintentionally harm us, since they are bugs without the mental facility to intentionally harm us? Furthermore, what does the nature of the intent have to do with the effect... whether they all commit su
