  1. Back in the day on Cities With Uber Have Lower Rates Of Ambulance Usage (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    People used to use Taxi's for this same reason. Eventually Taxi's stopped taking fares to emergency rooms due to the liability they were exposed to. When Uber gets sued because someone dies on their way to the hospital expect this to end quickly.

    Dude, Look at where Bitfinex and Binance are located, you are talking out of your ass.

    Wow, I love the misinformation all the anti bitcoin people have. South Korea is HUGE in crypto currency as is China. they hold far more then America does.

    Fast is relative, maybe if you compare to a bank transfer, but Bitcoin is in no way fast regardless of your fees.

    What? most people invested in bitcoin are in Asia not America.

    But it also discriminates against naturalized citizens.

  8. Re:They don't want to get tax reform petitions on The White House Is Temporarily Shutting Down Its Petition Website (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    And this time the CEOs have admitted as much.

    “If the tax reform bill goes through, do you plan to increase investment — your companies’ investment — capital investment,” and requests a show of hands. Only a few hands go up, leaving Cohn to ask sheepishly, “Why aren’t the other hands up?”

    How is this in any way relevant to the conversation?

    We have been asked to list why the reasons why Net Neutrality came about. So, since you brought it up, please list all these "stifling effects of government regulation" in regards to Net Neutrality that your side likes to keep mentioning.

  16. Re:They Get What They Deserve on Former Uber Employees Have Gone Into Debt To Hang Onto Shares They Can't Sell (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Since when do cab companies set their own rates? pretty sure (at least here in the States) there is a government commission which set's taxi rates, which is why taxi rates are the same between the different companies. Which is one of those pesky laws Uber violates.

  17. They got away with it because taxi drivers tend to be immigrants.

  18. Competition? in the ISP market. At best you have 2 choices for a >10mbs connection, more likely your limited to 1 provider. At no point is there any real competition in the broadband market.

  19. Re:why is this shit even on slashdot? on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your View On UFO Sightings? · · Score: 1

    So it's today that hype is valued?

    You mean all that time leading up to now, hype was nothing? Tthis is the problem I see, everyone trashes on the new young generation for doing the same damn things they did. Why is it more noticeable? That is probably the fault of social media and the younger generations larger population there.

    But the idea that people from earlier generations were somehow better is ridiculous, we just didn't have cameras everywhere catching our stupidity.

  20. You think Slashdot gets the amount of traffic a click bait site gets? Oh aren't you precious.
    We are barely a blip on the radar

  21. Net Neutrality did not come out of a vacuum, it was a response to some heavy handed action from the major ISP's.

  22. If it was phrased in a way he wants it would say "Abolish Net Neutrality. -Your beloved owner Verizon"
