  1. Re:apps and the filter bubble on Developer Proclaims Death of Cyberfox Web Browser (ghacks.net) · · Score: 1

    You haven't been paying attention. People have complained loudly that aps are mostly just watered down version of websites. When on a mobile I *hate* being forced into some damn app rather than go through a browser. I want to find what I am looking for, not be forced through a ui 'funnel'.

    Because if I understand quantum theory correctly, it both works, and doesn't. There is no measurement for a half binary state in a binary world of absolute on and off. I think pursuing analogue supercomputers might be a better place to start.

    A more reasonable argument would be "We need more money to continue milking this quantum cow that never produces anything."

    Falling over is one thing, watching someone mash their brake harder while sitting in a stationary vehicle with their hands on a steering wheel is quite another. One causes pain and possibly injury, the other is a harmless prank where a person's perception is played with for a moment.

    This has led to more than one occurrence where I have about fallen over when a Tesla has passed close to me in the parking lot. Once the car started moving on it's own with little else as visual reference I found my body compensating against the movement. Because there was no sound I assumed the car was stationary and I was not. Glancing away and grabbing another car for balance was the only thing preventing becoming one with the pavement.

    I wonder why you're so invested in that?

    I have no vestment in Uber, but I am tired of witch-hunts being the only real feature of the entertainment industry these days.

    You didn't see anything, but you're quick to judge anyway

    Clever with the semantics.

    As for judging, quite the opposite. I am not judging Uber like the court of public opinion has, nor am I judging the woman. I am saying " Lets see the other side of the story, here's a likely opposing scenario " as opposed to naively drinking the media koolaid.

    The path is very clear. Establish a user base, put the current cab system out of business then raise your prices. Just like Wal Mart does when going to a new town.

    Also,

    It has yet to be established if this person is a victim. Accusation is not evidence. Lets have a real investigation by a non-vested third party like the police. Then lets see where it goes.

    It could be proven she's right, or she has charges filed for filing a false report. In the meantime it's all he-said she-said.

    You're just using FUD against victims.

    I am saying there is likely way more to the story than we are getting. My past experience says that someone got fired, and that person is having a very loud, career destroying tantrum.

    I don't care what the SJW hype-spin is, I don't care about the agenda SJW scum is pushing. I am sick of it which is what helps push my interpretation as I have declared above. I will call it as I see it. Someone new to employment got canned and is on a smear campaign. I could be wrong, but the current social environment makes me not give a shit.

    Too much hate out for Uber right now for this to be real. It's exceeded the plausibility curve.

    One has to question the integrity of one or two disgruntled employee's. There's no shortage of employee's going non-linear over a legitimate firing and the current culture in America in the younger crowd is to cry racism, sexism, rape, misogyny, Hitler, poor management, receding hairline, ringworm, uneven tire-wear, low sperm count, poor gas mileage, clogged drains, poor phone service, etc just to do as much damage as you can.

    I wonder what this woman's HR file looks like, and before anyone starts talking about screenshots, those too, are easy to fake.

    Lets remember that we need to treat all news from the entertainment industry with a grain of salt. There's big money in cabs and it's not outside the realm of possibility that this is part of a concerted attack on Uber.
