This whole lawsuit is a case of technicality, and commentary on it is often misguided because of confusing "meter" the verb and common noun with a "TaxiMeter", which is a specific thing. If Uber drivers had TaxiMeters in their cars, then the lawsuit is valid. Otherwise, not.
It works like a meter, but isn't one, and that's the point. It's the kind of idiotic pointless technicality-based arguments I used to have with my brother. "I said I'd save you a piece, but I didn't say I'd do it today!"
What are some of these "violation of license" situations? It's kind of hard to judge Oracle without knowing what these situations are... genuine breaches or not?
Perhaps a subset of that million just believes in "paying it back" to the journalistic institutions of their communities. Just saying.

>>Expecting a driver to take control in a failure scenario is not a solution.
Why not, that is the design philosophy for airliners made in the past 30 years and their pilots who operate them. Sit and babysit the machine for 99.99% of the time; then jump in ready to go for the 0.01% of the time the situation is beyond the programming of the software. (In which case the software 1) does wrong thing. 2) just shuts-down while displaying a message to the pilots to let them know that, suddenly, THEY are flying the plane.)
The problem with this bad analogy is that a pilot is a highly trained vehicle operator, despite the fact that planes are largely being flown by computers. Passengers (see how I said passengers, not drivers) in a driverless car are expected to be the opposite of that.
Easier said than done. If you stop doing business in California now, wouldn't you have to pay "severance" to all your "employees"?
Besides, stopping doing business in protest is not the business-like thing to do. Working around the legislation is the business-like thing;)
Even a corporation were to move their domicile overseas, the US government could still argue that the corporation should be subject to US laws because they operate in the US (as well).
However, if complying with law in the US means violating data protection laws of another country, we have a problem. The legal avenue that the US govt should really be pursuing is entering some sort of "data extradition" treaty with Ireland. Stop harassing the corporations, dammit!
Almost as if this post is making my point by satirically taking the opposite stance.
Cyclists shouldn't be sharing the road with two ton steel boxes. Yeah yeah I know you have the same rights as cars but get real. From a physics standpoint you'll always lose. Cycling on roads is a death wish.
Obviously cyclists have the same rights to getting around as cars do, get real - they're not the same from a physics standpoint. And as long as they're treated like being the same, cycling will continue to be a risky endeavor.
However, treating them differently (separate rights of way/lanes, different rules, bespoke signage etc) will be the first step towards a safer cycling (and driving) experience.

'nuff said.
"Functionally, the operators are equivalent, so which ones you use is largely a matter of personal preference"
lol. funny. not. derivative.

Incorrect the largest waves were made by humans when the detonated an H-Bomb.
Your measly wave pool is tiny compared to real power.
The goal is to produce tsunamis without the nuclear fallout.

... and selfie is just the causal action. Same way as surfing/swimming is the causal action in death by shark. Apples to Oranges.
What else is new.

I believe men everywhere have been embracing complex soft bodies since time immemorial...

Actually, 5 layers would be absorbing 67% energy (assuming the layers are 20% efficient for all levels of intensity/frequency of light).
1 - 0.8*0.8*0.8*0.8*0.8 = 0.67
