  1. Re:Bad reporting. on Leaked Docs Provide An Unprecedented Look At Income Of Uber Drivers (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    This switch is a great example of misusing statistics. I would never advise someone to make a career of driving for Uber. But, hey, if someone needs a few extra dollars, why not?! People should have an opportunity to earn money in a variety of ways, not just being a salaryman.

  2. Exactly! Nobody said you'd get rich driving for Uber.

  3. Hybrids on Why Electric Vehicles Aren't More Popular · · Score: 1

    My wife just bought a Hyundai Sonata hybrid. It looks just like a "regular" Toyota, not a Prius. She loves it. Amazingly, the batteries come with a lifetime guarantee. It didn't hurt that Hyundai was giving a $5,000 factory rebate on the 2015 model. Bought it for the gas mileage/not to "save the environment."

  4. Re: Effects & Media Impact on What Was the Effect of Rand Paul's 10-Hour "Filibuster"? · · Score: 1

    Media has a huge impact. Had it carried the filibuster with the zeal of a car chase story, Rand's action would have had a major impact on people's view of the Patriot Act. However, it's likely most people don't even know it occurred. Media thus acts (wittingly I'd argue) as a de facto government censor.
