Never said humans were better. But given the unpredictability of humans, putting self-driving cars in the same busy interchange as humans is guaranteed to end badly.
Yeah, self-driving cars in central London. That'll work, with all the roadworks, cyclists, pedestrians, buses, delivery vans, crossings, variable traffic controls based on congestion / time of day / both, road narrowing / widening, etc.. If you'd ever driven in any large town or city in UK (yes, even Milton Keynes) you'd know how silly that idea is.
I'll put it this way: surely you've seen footage of traffic going around L'Arc de Triomphe in Paris, or the Coliseum in Rome (if not, look it up. London has Marble Arch). Do you think a self-driving car, such as we have today or even in the next ten years can cope with that?
What monopoly? If you mean the black cabs, there's far more drivers in LPHCA than LTDA. Mainly because they couldn't do The Knowledge if their life depended on it.
If you think the black cabs (who, BTW, aren't anything to do with this story as they aren't part of LPHCA) "ruthlessly exploit" then you can't have used any of the private hire companies. Or if you did, you were ignorant of the fact and blame black cabs for being overcharged.
There's only one competitor that uses wetware: the black cabs. All the others are private hire companies and they use GPS, just like Uber. It's these private hire companies that are engaging the lawyers in this story, not the black cabbies, as they don't like the private hire companies either.
The only cabbies that have spent large sums of money for their "exploitation licence" would be the members of LTDA - who are not in LPHCA - as it isn't cheap to train someone to have a map of London in their head that can adjust to cater for temporary things like roadworks and congestion.
Thus the black cab drivers who you try to target (there isn't such a thing as the medallion scheme here) have nothing to do with this story. They are completely separate and have their own axe to grind against Uber, it being just an extension of their own anti-private hire ethos (for the general public; chauffeur services are ignored).
I'm not sure that is the underlying intent; JC basically threw all the original commandments out and replaced them with but 2, the second one boiling down to "don't be a dick". It's the refusal of so-called Christians to relinquish the more fire and brimstone ones that creates the tyranny.
Jesus fucking Christ that thread was painful to read.
That so many are so hell bent on pushing their agenda of having the right to be offended and the power to decry / denounce / ban anyone they don't like for whatever reason (usually based on their own flawed perception of a utopia where everybody thinks exactly like they do) is pitiful.
Has a name been attributed (a la Godwin) to the death of a thread when someone writes "Check your privilege"? Because apart from "Go fuck yourself" there isn't any response to it.
And you missed the point. If the whining turd had said "serving drinks" then they wouldn't have come across as a whining turd, just a dick. They specifically mentioned alcohol in the puritanical way tosspots do when speaking about parties organised for adults that have a "childish" element such as a game as a theme.
So they want to bankrupt him which then buggers up his credit rating for years so he won't be able to get a loan, mortgage, even a mobile phone contract. Fuck you, Davis Wright Tremaine.
They didn't even have a wireless terminal that you could swipe a card with? What a backward country. I'm surprised they didn't have a racking machine lying around...
And also swipe readers, as chips can fail to be read by a terminal filled with gunk, it got damaged, etc.. However, contactless is gaining traction so at least you can still pay for your latte without all that tedious mucking around with legal tender...

Wait, you live in a cabled area yet cannot get ADSL over a BT line? Are you too far from the nearest exchange?
If you mean war debt from WWII, the UK finally paid that off in 1999.
When was the last time US allowed extradition of a US citizen to a foreign country?

Oh noes! He was going to have *alcohol* at this party? What a monster.

Are their offices "gun free zones"?
Yes there is. Unfortunately, the really dangerous ones are free to infect the rest of the planet with their insanity.
I'm sure VW doesn't have the same "get out of jail free" card in Europe. This means there could be cases filed by *every single country*...
Blaster? I still giggle about Code Red and Nimda.
There was a petrol station near me that did exactly the same. Bonus was it was the cheapest in the area so loads of people used it...
