There is a very low bar to entry when becoming an Uber driver, and so I would hazard to say that the vast majority of people who want to drive for Uber are already driving for Uber. So, if Uber were to suddenly drop all the current drivers, there would be no great rush of new drivers trying to fill the void. Just the opposite would happen, actually. The Uber drivers who had just been let go would switch to another service, and the folks who try to hail an Uber will be told there's a 2 hour wait for a car and so will simply take 10 seconds to close their Uber app and open their Lyft app instead. There's no possible way Uber could survive cleaning the slate like that.
I use Ring Central for one of my businesses, and it does everything you're asking for (except maybe the whitelist, I haven't looked into that because I've never needed it - but people "in the know' can hit an extension number to get through immediately.) My personal extension forwards to an IP phone at my desk and my mobile phone simultaneously.
Remember, Hillary repeatedly justified her use of a private server by claiming she "never sent or received classified material" (later amended to say "never sent classified material", later amended to say "what hard drive backups?")
The FBI investigation into her server did not focus on "sensitive" information, which is not a legal definition. It focused on "classified" information, which is explicitly defined in the statutes she was found to have broken.
Until such evidence that classified information was passed through an unclassified system, this is going to continue to look like the discordant screeching from a panicked and impotent leftist establishment that has been the story du jour of the past few months.
why does it matter if some folks believe something that you don't believe (even if you have compelling evidence to justify your belief?) I mean, *really* matter?
Eventually there comes a point where you just accept that your loved ones have different ideas than you, but you can still choose to love them regardless. Arguing "just to be right" is something one of my in-laws does, and now he's not invited to Thanksgiving or Christmas any more, which is sad and completely unnecessary - if only he'd just pocket his confrontational attitude for a few days a year, we'd all have the same good times we had for years before he started on his insistent badgering that has ended up with him throwing literal fists at the rest of the family on more than one occasion. Cops were even called the last time (which ensured it was the last time.) And it's not like his views are out of the mainstream - other family members share his ideas, but they realize it's not beneficial to be confrontational. They even politely deflect if the conversation steers toward "that" arena.

All the union had to do was approach an existing employee if they wanted to expand its money laundering busin...I mean lobbying business. Why didn't they? Could they not find just one sympathetic employee?
This is very much like a steel vendor sending a planted employee to get hired at a construction company to influence the construction company to buy exclusively from said steel company (except with the special force of legal organized thuggery that unions enjoy).
Except that due to the nature of classified information the FBI handles on a routine basis, they often actually DO have things to hide, and legitimately so.
Exactly. The guidelines are permissive exceptions to copyright law that CBS/Paramount wrote in order to specifically allow fan films within certain boundaries. If the guidelines hadn't been published, then all ST fan fiction would be subject to taketown notices.
They are regulated by the Feds and by all 50 states* as money transmitters. That isn't cheap nor is it easy to just replicate quickly, let alone overnight.
* I think 1 or 2 states don't require a fee or registration, but there is enormous pressure for all states to regulate money transmitters
I've called 911 several times and asked to be transferred to "the local non-emergency police line for town X", and every time they were completely fine with that. Works great when you have a time-sensitive police issue in a town that you don't have the local number for, and it only takes the operator a few seconds to manage.

That's, "Robble robble." Because he's a hamBURGLAR, who rob...oh, never mind.

So, this article is also wrong: if this trend continues, getting more women engineers will just degrade the pay of engineering...
That would be due to an increase in supply for workers and a lowering of the demand for those workers - not because uteruses.
If something is objectively true, it doesn't become less true simply because someone you don't like says it's true.
Nobody wants to stay at your hotel anyway, Norman.

Sensitive =/= classified.

actually, they copied that feature, too, it seems.

inferring motive is not an observation.

if nobody buys it, they can't charge as much and sustain the service.
as long as there's competition, prices will moderate and service levels will rise
yeah, it's much better to be dependant on a geographically-based service. Just don't ever move or change ISPs.

well, in this case, probably a lot farther than the government of Egypt.

yeah, HDMI is so difficult to use.
wait, what?
wait, do you actually think the FBI team was the same "Hillary's team" the journalist referenced here was referring to?
Now *THAT* would be newsworthy.
Else, you're an idiot who can't tell the difference.
