    Antenna? OK, grandpa. So you are saying there are these magic rays that go through the air that your magic "antenna" can catch and turn into a NFL game? Delusional!

  2. Independently negotiate the price? Fuck, you guys are morons. Seriously.

    Yeah, whatever dude. Why do you even bother? The definition of being a contractor has nothing to do with the ability to "set his own rate". Morons.

    What are you talking about? They aren't forbidden. Lots of drivers work for Lyft AND Uber.

    You guys are the ones "retarded". The legal definition of a contractor doesn't even include the right to negotiate OR dictate your rate. So your entire argument is bogus. Uber drivers are contractors.

    Sorry I don't go along with the "groupthink" here, but the fact is that Ubers owners are very rich because they know that their drivers are contractors, not employees. And by the way, before Uber existed taxi service was a FUCKING DISASTER. Only now are taxi services rolling out customer friendly features. But yeah, I am a moron. The problem with lowly IT people like you is you can't think outside of your little world.

    Good point. I am just trolling you. Uber drivers are just employees like everyone else. Contractors can ALWAYS negotiate the rates and terms of their employment! And because they can't that makes them employees.

    Maybe host file blocking is more effective though, than ABP. What do you think?

    The problem with Edge is there is no plugin mechanism to block ads. If someone developed a way to use hosts files to block ads I would use that. Anyone ever heard of anything like that?

    I am talking about the LEGAL definition of contractor. That is why I am being "literal".

    So what? You can be "punished" for refusing as a contractor too. That has nothing to do with the definition of being a contractor. No I am not a paid shill, I just work for Uber.

    That is some dubious logic. So governmental contractors who take a contract that pays X are employees? Doesn't work that way.

    Thanks for the info. So where does it say that being a contractors means you can set your own rate? Seriously people, it is like you can't even read.

  20. Re:Please explain this to me on Uber Appeals Against Ruling that Its UK Drivers Are Workers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Baloney. Just because you are an independent contractor doesn't mean you can set your own rates. The ability to set your own rates has NOTHING to do with being designated a contractor or not. For example, government contractors get a standard set rate if they accept the contract. They don't get to negotiate it, but they are still contractors.

  21. Re:In Other News on Uber Appeals Against Ruling that Its UK Drivers Are Workers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course. But just because you are a contractor doesn't mean you get to negotiate the rate. The ability to negotiate a rate is not what makes someone a contractor.

    Here is the thing: just because someone says something you don't think is right, or you disagree with, THEY ARE NOT A TROLL. Please show me that the definition of a contractor is the ability to set your own rate, you troll!

    Um bullshit. Companies hire contractors at their own set rates. The ability to set your own rate has nothing to do with being a contractor.

    The border people would detain you until you coughed up the key. Besides, there is no reason you can't encrypt today if you just copy the files over to a computer. You don't need buggy implementations on cameras.
