Something like this is virtually an automatic payoff
Something tell me using a platform that serves you ads and harvests your data with full knowledge and then suing them for seeing and ads and having your data harvested won't be much of a payoff. About the only thing lawyers here will make is attorney fees.
fuck all. suxs being the prophet of doom when doom shows up
This is doom? This looks like business as usual. I have plenty of other ways to describe it: Tempest in a teapot Storm in a teacup Mountain made out of a molehill.
I mean some of these people saw ADS! OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!
When someone wants you dead you don't give them an inch of rope. No sane company or person would have advanced notice of a suspected raid and NOT clean out their house.
To the best of my knowledge I have nothing illegal here or on my PC, but if I found out that someone was asking for a warrant to seize my electronics they would find me here three days later with an Amish hat asking the police to explain what a computer or this new concept of "electricity" actually is.
It was fine when Obama was mining facebook, but now worthy of being drawn and quartered.
If it wasn't for double standards, the left would have no standards at all.
It has nothing to do with Obama and everything to do with nonsensical rage of the day. These days when the media gets a hold of anything it becomes an instant drama, regardless if it represents business as usual, has been ongoing for many years, or is just plain expected.
Seriously a lady is suing someone for getting political advertisement on a platform that is used for advertisement. The HORROR!
I think the problem is not red or blue, but rather that everyone has become stupider.
Brains drift regardless of if a person has twitter or not. If you think you could perform the job better then I encourage you to... donate your brain to science. We may learn something new.
what if you are getting paid to be a SAFETY TEST DRIVER for a SELF DRIVING CAR
Are we still talking about humans here? Because the answer to your question then is simple: No change. Paying someone and putting safety in their title doesn't change our physiology.
I visited a coal mine in Germany a few months ago, and they showed videos of the person operating the coal elevator. His job was to push the accelerator and brakes to ensure the coal cars got up to 70km/h and then stopped within about 10cm of their end destination. Even back before the world wars we knew that the only way to perform that job even remotely safely was to ensure no one ever did it for more than an hour per day. The shift rotated people through that position and then put them on picking lines afterwards with the full knowledge that after an hour straight of concentration a person's brain is completely fried until they've slept. And that was in the 1900s.
The only difference here is the risk of something happening while not paying attention is far smaller. Not exactly a helping factor to get people to pay attention.
if you mean fill roles that are not part of their job description or responsibility, then you are probably doing something i wouldn't feel comfortable with.
No. What I mean is having an employee on my payroll that has the potential to be moved to other roles if he or she desires. My workplace isn't small, I work in one of the 20 largest companies in the world. Yet I value employees who are not only flexible have have a desire to do more than than spend their careers focused on the singular task in the same department waiting year in year out of a crappy payrise.
Again, just because two people do the same job the same way doesn't make those two people equally valuable to a company. One may be an introvert happy to click away at his keyboard for the rest of his life, the other may be the next CEO. If you treat them alike you're very likely to upset one of them, and worst case scenario you just trained some other company's future CEO.
And none of them are using peashooters, but rather weapons that are well and truly illegal to own and use in the USA including mortars, fully automatic machine guns, grenades, etc.
I love it when idiots try to compare idiotic things.
Is there some huge issue with people hitting the wall speed-wise on existing LTE networks?
By pushing more data faster to the device the device is usually faster at shutting up and freeing the airwaves for someone else. Just because you're loading slashdot doesn't mean there isn't a benefit from a faster service.
Last I heard no one was getting anywhere close to the maximum speeds of the infrastructure we've got -- mostly due to a lack of back-haul capacity supplying it.
You heard wrong. Well maybe depending where you are. There are plenty of places especially in densely built up areas where backhaul capacity is not at all an issue where cell congestion is a very real limiting factor. Incidentally a faster but shorter range service is exactly a way to combat this. Cell congestion is basically what you see when 2 users normally could get 100mbit each, but 20 users can't get more than a couple. The airwaves are far more easily congested than an even moderately built backhaul link.
Lots of cars fudge the headlights a bit to the right to keep from blinding oncoming cars.
Uber's fleet are made up of current model Volvo XC90s. They have very well designed projection headlamps and are bright to boot. People haven't needed to "fudge" headlights since the parabolic dish + lightbulb days or on the cheapest and nastiest of todays cars.
You can shine light as far forward as you want without blinding other drivers with nearly every modern car. Hell my now 12 year old hatchback has projection headlamps with a wonderfully controlled beam, my dad's 16 year old hatchback had electronic headlight adjustment.
A far more likely scenario: Dashcams are shithouse at showing what lighting conditions are really like. Before you blame the lighting conditions maybe have a look at google maps and see just how many damn streetlights were also in the area.
She didn't even have reflectors on the wheel of the bike, much less herself - even one might have saved her.
How would a reflector have saved her from a person who wasn't even looking at the road?
The point is Uber is deploying fail-prone experimental technology in public and it took someone's life.
What you just said describes a huge majority of industries. Be thankful you didn't apply that thinking to oil refining or you wouldn't have cars at all.
Not just America. The same happens the western world over. Point is that tariffs didn't kill the industry, cost cutting did. All tariffs do is combat cost cutting by levelling playing fields (if used properly). Which makes you wonder: If Americans didn't sustain America on their own free will, why employ tariffs? Hasn't democracy already spoken?
No, but one might need to charge it every 3rd or 4th day or so....
So your ability to plan ahead suddenly goes to shit because "electrons". Key difference now being you no longer need to call AAA, you can just roll out the extension cord. Look we get it, you're incredibly anti-electric cars and will come up with any excuse. The rest of the world won't wait for you.
Because performance of IT systems sucks when your admin has to print out and fax documents across the world because he can't figure out why chmod 777 exchangeserver.exe didn't work.
Because Americans don't want to pay for American. They want to pay the lowest price possible, and if it is made by slave labour and screwing up the environment of another country, so be it.

what about more unions and UBI
Generally my union is okay with the fact that my pay reflects that I answer the phone after hours.
If you ever become salaried, you'll find out that this isn't how it works for better paying positions.
I'm interested to know why you think those positions are "better paying" in the first place.
and instead felt she needed to check TWITTER

Now delete Twitter too.
Why? Twitter at least gets a message spread fast without the retardedness of Facebook.
All because people like yourself can't fathom the idea crime should be stopped.
Oh no. By all means shoot people for petty theft and littering. America could use some senseless population control.
Maybe there's a middle ground too but I'm just not seeing it. Just kill everyone. Best idea eva!
DIGITAL CURRENCY!

Someone's "minor crime" is another person's last penny.
Wow that's just shy of think of the ....
I cringe every time I see a mother crying over a dead son
Oh for fucks sake!
You're right, we should have the death penalty for everything.
Glad I could please on this wonderful Friday :)
I didn't even know that whales could use cell phones.
Have you not seen any talking on their phone in Walmart?

Some of us work better on other schedules.
8pm on a Friday night for a normal government office worker is not an "other schedule".
It's "avoiding your wife".

Why not just run Linux
Because performance of IT systems sucks when your admin has to print out and fax documents across the world because he can't figure out why chmod 777 exchangeserver.exe didn't work.
Recharging overnight is fine but if you forget to plug your car in overnight, you may not be able to get to work the next morning
Why? Do you work 150miles from where you live? My neighbour has an electric car. He happily goes a couple of days without charging.
Because Americans don't want to pay for American. They want to pay the lowest price possible, and if it is made by slave labour and screwing up the environment of another country, so be it.
