Yes, but it it is true that, generally speaking, the most important asset a company has is it's employees. If you do not treat them right, or are unaware of issues affecting them, then you are not going to be able to fulfill your primary function, which is to make money. You can't make money without emplyees (duh!) and if you are *currently* making money without employees, that's because you *paid* employees (or in this case, contractors) to set up your company so you can make money without them.
There is a huge hurry, because a lot of the software engineering for how cars operate in different conditions depend on the laws that limit how cars can drive in individual states.
But these are all software problems, and we humans have gotten pretty good at that. It's an interesting case here because it's an unusual animal that travels in a way most other animals don't, but there's nothing here that can't be fixed by adding in some code.
What's more interesting to me is that Volvo is trying to test it's cars in Australia, where there's long stretches of unpaved roads and all sorts of weird things that cross the road. Does the car stop when it sees a snake in the road crossing? How big does the snake have to be before the car decides it will just roll over it? How does it determine if it's a snake or a cable or rope? These are all software things though...
And yet Uber and Lyft are massively, massively popular in San Francisco, which is arguably the most progressive city in the US.
"Progressives don't like people having choices outside the Progressive's preferred range of "guided" choices." Then explain who so many "progressives" use those services in San Francisco?
The enforcement of a lot of these legal protections were often driven by protecting an already established industry, that of Taxis. It's merely your opinion that it's illegal for Uber to declare the people who work for them are contractors; someone who can choose when and how often they work, and who uses their own equipment (a car and a phone) seems like a pretty clear-cut case of being a contractor to me.
Its beneficial to the various cities' tax bases that these folks are named as employees because they get more tax dollars that way, and it's interesting you seem to believe that the cities are "fighting back" when Uber and Lyft are companies that can legitimately be said to be "fighting back" against the monopoly of the taxi industry.
Because there's more Uber/Lyft drivers on the streets now. Before, if you were driving yourself, you'd have to actually park your car to get where you are going or take a taxi. There were fewer taxis, and while they would double-park, it was put up with because there were so few of them. Now many more people use these services, so it happens more frequently.
Yes, but because there's so many more Uber/Lyft drivers on the streets now, it's more of a problem. It happens much more often. I see it with my own eyes daily.
Except those businesses are hindering other businesses. When trucks can't make deliveries on time because of double-parked Ubers, and buses are constantly dodging people getting in and out of lyft cars and get stuck behind these drivers making illegal left-hand turns, and when cyclists are nearly killed on a daily basis because idiot tourists are opening the doors of their Uber driver into traffic and "dooring" them, then it's hindering the business of other people getting to THEIR business. I know this for a fact because it happens to me daily here in SF. I see all this shit regularly.
They do. Assholes are not a protected class, unlike blacks, gay folks, etc. There's nothing that says a private institution can't discriminate based on what a person says.
Why should he? Both of those examples are businesses open to the general public, unlike Harvard, and one of those examples (smoking) has nothing to do with speech.
That's because that view is 100% correct. I don't understand why conservatives think there's a constitutional right to say whatever you want without consequences. it's almost as though they've never read the Constitution. The Founding Fathers never, under any circumstances, intended for there to never be any social consequences for your speech. Only that the State can't censor you for your content. Not everybody else.
I don't think you are from the US. Here, in the actual United States of America, the Constitution says the government can't censor your speech. It says nothing about private institutions censoring your speech, or even more importantly, other people forcing consequences upon you for the content of your speech. So since you clearly aren't a real American, what are you fighting for again? Some other country?
The web browser is not ON the web. It allows you to view applications and web pages on the web, but it, by itself, is not on the web; you can view pages locally even if you are not connected to the internet.
Seriously? You are accusing the left of petty insults, when you idiots have Donald Trump, who was fucking EMBRACED by the right because of his petty insults towards his opponents?
No. People hate comic sans because it looks like a child's version of a font. Hell, the name itself, "COMIC sans" indicates it's not to be taken seriously. It's used in the real world to indicate whimsy or something pedestrian such as a sign on a door of a church that might say "Don't forget to bring a dish for the potluck this Sunday morning at 11!" and that's perfectly fine.
When you are trying to get someone to invest in something called the "The Chappaquiddick Binomial Integrity Fund II" or something, you probably shouldn't be using Comic Sans.
What? I too live in SF, and I would never live here without a car. It costs me about 150$/mo, which includes gas. It's a snap for me to take a trip to Napa, across the bay to a party, down south to a festival or a camping site, and so on. MUNI here is getting better, and I bike to work and all over town, but to actually have the freedom I enjoy in the bay area, a car is necessary.
I see this all the time, and it's fucking stupid, and it's driving me nuts.
Any files the engineer may have do not need to be "returned" because that implies Waymo no longer has those files. The implication is the engineer took the files, as if they were some paper files in a file drawer somewhere, leaving Waymo without the files. This is 2017. The files were COPIED and don't need to be "returned to their rightful owner." The owner most likely has them. The MOST the judge should do is tell the engineer/Uber to provide the files so Waymo can just verify they have them and they weren't deleted from Waymo's servers. What am I missing here?

Why the hate? It's a Helvetica joke, after all.
The title of the article is about volume as in sound volume or noise. The content is about call center volume as in the amount of people calling in.
The stupid...it hurts.
It's funny because it's true.
He also apparently hung himself.
I guess this is funny. OK. I approve.

No I am not. Discrimination based on race is prohibited. Discrimination based on speech content by a private institution is not.

1) Define "linkable".
2) Define "client".
Do so in a way that is unambiguous, but also is unlikely to change over time. Good luck.
