they've been employees since day 1. They can't set their own prices or solicit tips. That alone makes them employees even before we start talking about the amount of control Uber exerts.
working out for NC? On the plus side it looks like they're gonna go Blue for the presidential so it's likely they're just a victim of gerrymandering and the flood of corporate dollars into local elections...
and that's not cynicism or laziness. There are just some fundamental realities that crop up when you have the broad political coalitions that make up American Politics, particularity the Democratic party. As long as we have money there is going to be money in politics. Long before either Clinton or Trump were allowed to run they were vetted by billionaires (google the phrase "Sheldon Primary").
If you want to end corruption attack wealth inequality and limit the amount of wealth that individuals are allowed to have. If you don't have the stomach for that (most people don't) then you live with the corruption and try to make the best of it. When Hilary and Obama say they're "Progressive" that's what they mean. They're making the best of a bad situation.
then this is the most brilliant feint in political history. I don't think anyone that matters cares about the emails anymore. Unless some smoking gun comes out for real this is gonna mean diddly. A whole lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing. On the other hand it'll be a major distraction for the Trump campaign and get them hammering a point home that only their base cares about anymore.
using Macs this seems ridiculous. I'm a Windows guy myself. It could be better but to be honest Win 10 on an SSD is fine and I haven't had a virus since I stopped hanging around abondonware sites when snesorama closed.
All successful politicians are corrupt. It's how politics work. They work that way _everywhere_. These are the compromises that get made in the real world. You don't have to like it, but if you pretend it's not real you're going to get destroyed. I don't like gravity but it doesn't mean I can fly.
And Hilary's corruption is par for the course. If you find it breathtaking that's because a multi-billion dollar industry with vested interests has been hammering that point home since it became clear she was going to run for president some day.
no jury would convict her. Bringing it to trial would be worse than useless. It'd be a gross waste of taxpayer dollars and time. Prosecutors don't bring cases to trial they know they can't win. And as been pointed out these matters are normally handled by the employer when no intent is found, and the employer is the United States people. We'll know where they stand in 11 days.
because I've yet to find one, and neither did the FBI apparently. I've seen every Hilary's actions compared to various people charged with actively selling secrets to foreign powers as though they're the same thing. But I've yet to see anyone convicted and sentenced for clumsily handling state emails.
What I _have_ seen are emails where Colin Powell acknowledged everyone in Washington does what Hilary did and suggesting she do it to. I also saw Hilary stand up for Powell and double down on taking responsibility for her mistake before the emails he said that in leaked, which was a bit of bad assery that she got zero credit for.
I'd really like to know what all this this "damning" stuff I keep hearing about is exactly (as would the folks who dragged America along on this 20 year long fishing expedition too, I suspect).
when new evidence arrives up to the moment you actually try someone. More emails keep coming up because, surprise, surprise, Hilary & Co send a _lot_ of email. I'm guessing that for the next 4 years every time somebody mentions her in an Email it's going to trigger a multi-million dollar investigation that will find precisely diddley and squat. This is how we do politics. Like she said, this is how the sausage is made.
Bush Jr? Cheney? Warren G Harding? She mishandled some emails to keep her political strategies out of the hands of her enemies (who were very actively against her). Something even Colin Powel did, and suggested she do too. Bush Jr deleted 22 million emails related to his administration and not a peep. Face it, this is how the sausage is made. Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it.
They're having a really hard time weaning plugin devs and their users off the old single threaded stuff. My own plugin is going to need a complete and complicated rewrite when they finally force the issue and I'm not sure I'm up to it. I might just move it to Chrome and call it a day...
he's not killing anything. We've got 140 million folks living paycheck to paycheck in this country. Those people don't rely on cash by choice. Word gets around about overdraft fees, gas stations put $100 holds on your debit card and folks don't make enough to get credit cards. The working poor isn't giving up cash anytime soon. Believe me, it's been tried.
and the end of smog days I'll take it. Namby-pamby environmentalism is all well and good, and I'm all for doing something about climate change; but I think the tree huggers distract too much from immediate environmental concerns like clean air and water.
This is the next wave of productivity gains. All those little things we spend time and money on add up. Sure, this is a small thing, but it's one less thing we'll be spending time on as the process is improved by tech.
my kid wanted an iPhone. It's their biggest source of vendor lock in. And what would they get out of Android users installing the app? Best case scenario $1.99. Even porting iTunes would be a waste. Apple's a hardware company, not a music company. The only possible benefit to Apple is to draw people into the fold, and they just don't need to do that.
because of tech. Airplanes and Machine Guns and Bombs and such. A good chuck of the reasons for the Great Depression were tech, especially when you strip away the esoteric monetary policy explanations.
Root cause is still tech changes happening too fast for society to adjust. Least as far as I can tell.
these things should have zero problems. They're running a bunch of data driven apps, probably web apps. My cheapo LG phone crashes, sure. But it was $100 bucks. These are $1000+ tablets that are crashing enough for folks to complain. What the hell is going on?
with socialism? Like Bernie Sander's said, words have meaning. Pull your head out of your (or maybe Vlad Putin's if you're one of those Russian trolls) ass.
this is the inevitable consequence of out of control wealth inequality. When you let the rich have all the money they've got very little left to spend it on besides conquest. This is how it was for humanity for thousands of years. The last 100 or so were a fluke brought on by the rapid advance of technology. Stop it now or you'll never see that 'fluke' again.
I know it's a problem. As soon as they've KO'd their competition they'll jack up prices and things will be a lot worse. But what am I suppose to do? I don't buy a lot of stuff I don't need (a video game or two a year). Since my income doesn't keep pace with inflation (I'm not even gonna say "any more", it never has) the only way to keep my head above water is hope I can find somebody willing to sell me stuff cheaper. Yeah, It's a race to the bottom. But I don't see myself getting a new set of wheels this year (e.g. higher paying job) and the only way out of this race is to crash and burn Dale Earnhardt style...

Whoops, linky broke.
this right .

In billions of years the sun is going to encompass the Earth, right? Global warming is in our future.
