Even the original design of Windows was supposed to have keyboard shortcuts as the main way to interact with the environment and individual programs, with the mouse functions translated, depending on context, to the appropriate keyboard shortcuts in the main event loop.
Using the mouse to access menu functions, you'd see the keyboard shortcuts beside the desired operation (Print Ctl-P, Save-Ctl-S, etc) and quickly increase your speed. F*cking web developers screwed that paradigm up real good. Windows also screwed it up in later iterations.Now we're all screwed. Thanks, people, by dumbing shit down, you've just made everyone dumber, forcing them to work at the level of the lowest common denominator.
I want Ctl-K-B, Ctl-K-E, Ctl-K-Y, Ctl-P-(insert next key as literal, inserts things like the escape key), etc. Wordstar keyboard shortcuts that also worked great in QuickEdit (qedit.com). Macros, ansi box graphics drawing mode, Multiple edit buffers for multiple files, all sorts of stuff. Borland's edtors also supported the same shortcuts. Fun times.
Illegal activity by a contractor is solely the responsibility of the contractor, since the contractor sets the rules for fulfilling the contract. Illegal activity by an employee, on the other hand, attaches to both the employee and the employer.
Same rules as workman's compensation, minimum wage requirements, social security and unemployment plan payments, etc.
That's one of the reasons why Uber doesn't want to be classified as an employer, even though the people driving for them do not meet the requirements to be classified as independent contractors.
If you have a printer connected to your laptop, better make that 4. And even if you're not using wireless to access the net, your switch is yet another device, so 5. And unless your roku isn't connected to anything else, your TV makes it 6 (yes, they can destroy a TV by feeding it signals that turn it off and on in rapid succession, or overdriven video, or they can feed it a signal for hard-core porn when your kids are watching).

How to secure Iot: 1-have experts make a chip that securely does Iot stuff. 2-make it cheap. 3-Secure!
Wrong:
1 buy big hammer.
2. apply said hammer with sufficient force to ensure that there are no surviving bugs in the device.
3. Now it's secure.
This, or ensuring the device is never powered up, are the only 2 ways that are guaranteed to work, and you can never be sure some idiot won't plug it in or insert a battery, so it's back to HAMMER TIME.
If you have a problem with klingons either use better toilet paper or a bidet. An IoT bidet. This way someone can hack it to make you realize just how stupid the IoT is.
This wasn't a line item in their budget (or it would have been hard to keep it secret), this raises a few questions.
1. Where did the payments come from?
2. Were the recipients "protected" from tax audits so as to keep the source of the money secret?
If these weren't being paid under the table, the employer would know because of income tax withholding adjustments based on total income. "Gee, we now have to withhold 90% of this guys' pay and increase his contributions to social security because of his increased income from employment... sounds suspicious to me."
It's like when Clinton was saying "those emails were illegally obtained". So what - that didn't make them untrue, and whistle-blowing is the right thing to do. She wouldn't have bitched if the Russians (or anyone else) illegally leaked Trump's tax returns.
Iran was a secular democracy, with women dressing the same as elsewhere in the world, going to universities, etc. So no, it's not a gross over-simplification. The US, in conjunction with Britain, f*cked up the middle east and created the conditions for muslim extremism to flourish by overthrowing a democratically elected government.
Well what would you do if some passengers in the backseat of your car started to get bizzayy while you drove them to their destinations? Me? I would tell them to knock it off or get out of the car. It's the driver's car and not Uber's after all.
I'm surprised Uber isn't asking them to install video cameras and stream the action so they can sell it to some porn hub.
Shh - it's not referred to as carpet, it's "monkey fur". And often it looks exactly like that. The dash, the ceiling, the insides... and often whoever's driving...
We already have this, same as where guys thing that supper and a few drinks entitles them to sex, and bosses and potential employers who believe you better put out if you want to get or keep the job.
If you've hailed an Uber, you already have a smartphone, so it's not like if they say "f*ck or walk" that you don't have options. 911 is there for that.
In the back seat? Only if the Uber car is on of those '50s roadmasters in Cuba, or you're both midgets, or you actually enjoy physical discomfort, or you just lay there dead (though there are probably some people get off on having a dead f*ck - probably pretending they're necrophiliacs).
Disclosing your income, bonuses, and whether you are a minority are not dictating your conduct. Certain professions have a code of ethics that governs the profession that prohibits, for example, any sex between a doctor and patient, a teacher and a child student, or a guard and a prisoner, because in such relationships there is an inequality of power between the two parties, so free consent legally cannot exist.
There is no similar imbalance of power between a random Uber driver and a client unless the driver uses coercion, threats, etc., which is illegal no matter who is doing it.
In the 1958 Japanese election, the United States gave the Liberal-Democratic Party damaging political intelligence on its main rival, the Socialists. The CIA acquired it from paid informants within the Socialist Party. In the 1990 Nicaraguan elections, the United States leaked damaging information on alleged Sandinista corruption and Swiss bank accounts, funneling the information to German newspapers. The Nicaraguan opposition then used these German media reports to great effect.
In other words, the CIA was doing the exact same thing that they accuse Wikileaks of doing. US exceptionalism at work - "the rules don't apply to us."
“Isn’t it interesting that her (Clinton's) campaign is now experiencing the same thing that she perpetrated on other countries,” Netherton told The Huffington Post, as she awaited Sanders’ speech Monday night.
“She did this in Haiti, she did this in Honduras, and now it’s coming back on her and she’s all verklempt about it,” Netherton added. “It’s a little bit of her own medicine, but unfortunately I don’t think she’s open minded enough to see that for what it is.”
Indeed, meddling in foreign politics is a great American pastime, and one that Clinton has some familiarity with. For more than 100 years, without any significant break, the U.S. has been doing whatever it can to influence the outcome of elections up to and including assassinating politicians it has found unfriendly.
Assassinating politicians is certainly going to keep them from running in an election.
When Iran elected a nationalist politician, Mohammed Mosaddeq, the U.S. intervened to launch a coup in 1953, which CIA agent Kermit Roosevelt led. Mossadegh’s crime was to nationalize a British oil company, a forerunner to BP, and to spark concerns among the paranoid Dulles brothers that he was leaning toward the Soviet Union. The U.S. installed Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, Iran’s monarch, as the head of Iran and his repressive rule led to the Iranian revolution. That uprising, in turn, has given us a brutally repressive regime in Iran, client terrorist groups around the Middle East, savage sectarian violence in Iraq and a nuclear standoff.
Overthrowing a democratically elected politician and getting rid of elections is also interfering in Iran's electoral process.
When the French withdrew from Vietnam in the 1950s, they scheduled an election to be held shortly after. It became increasingly clear that the communist revolutionary leader Ho Chi Minh would win it in a landslide. So the U.S. intervened and installed Ngo Dinh Diem as leader of a new country it recognized as South Vietnam. The national election was canceled, but the U.S. still needed a way to pretend the puppet regime had political support. So it set up an election between Diem, who was widely disliked, and an exiled member of the royal family who was even more hated. Diem won with an absurd tally of 98.2 percent.
Cancelling an election that would have elected someone the US didn't want to win is most certainly interfering in their electoral process.
The election in 2014 didn’t go as the U.S. intended (like the one in 2009, shot through with fraud that gave it to Hamid Karzai). So the U.S. declared it a tie and created a new position not in the Afghan constitution called Chief Executive Officer.
There are plenty of other examples of US interference in other countries.
After the election, the Obama administration said it had no proof of Russian interference in the election tallies and that the results “accurately reflect the will of the American people.”
Problem #2 is that, even if they had, they would only be doing the same the US has done so many times. Pot calling the kettle black...

Don't be stupid. Someone is attempting to coerce sex out of you, that's a police matter.
And just how are they going to do an audit if the money is from a secret slush fund?
If the people who ran in this last election are truly representative you have bigger problems.

They help arrange the meeting via their app, which creates some amount of legal liability.
Not really, because the activity in question isn't illegal.
But it certainly makes the US a hypocrite. Again.

The rule is just there to punish those who think they're at a meat market
Uber treats their drivers like meat, a commodity to be used and then disposed of, so Uber kind of IS a meat market.
Well what would you do if some passengers in the backseat of your car started to get bizzayy while you drove them to their destinations? Me? I would tell them to knock it off or get out of the car. It's the driver's car and not Uber's after all.

Why should they worry about being sued if they're not the employer and the drivers are just independent contractors?
Either you don't know your history, or you're too lazy to use google, so the first item that comes up when asking about us interference in other countries elections:
In the 1958 Japanese election, the United States gave the Liberal-Democratic Party damaging political intelligence on its main rival, the Socialists. The CIA acquired it from paid informants within the Socialist Party. In the 1990 Nicaraguan elections, the United States leaked damaging information on alleged Sandinista corruption and Swiss bank accounts, funneling the information to German newspapers.
