When you're as big as Apple you can afford to make such lawsuits very expensive. It probably cost more than $3mil to litigate this case.
Apple, and other very wealthy companies, should in these cases just use every means to delay, stall, and in general make the trial as expensive as possible. They will pay more as well, of course, but it discourages others and will reduce such cases in the future.
You are full of rubbish. Uber's problems have nothing to do with "pissing off its customers" and these whine-fests have nothing to do with anything. They mean nothing and nobody will remember it in a week.
Uber's problems are the typical problems any new business especially one that comes with a new paradigm faces and have nothing to do with millenials crying on twitter.
These same whiners will be back on Uber in a few days, if not tomorrow.
You act as if people whining on twitter is a problem. It isn't. A lot of the people who work at Uber may be millenials and hence they may indeed imagine it to be a problem, however.
You also seem convinced that someone other than the person who needs the ride at a chaotic time should pay more. Why?
I genuinely don't understand what the "problem" you're trying to solve is. Is the problem that a bunch of middle and upper class people will have paid an extra $10, $20, or even $100 dollars for a ride and will hence have to buy fewer $10 Starbucks drinks?
There is no problem here unless Uber is dull enough to think Twitter whining (and the inevitable reporting on said twitter whining by other millenial online "journalists" as if it were news) is a real problem.
You're right, of course. The knife attack in Minnesota, the attempted bombing of the Marines at the Marathon, and this explosion in Chelsea are pretty small potatoes compared to the latest Trump gaffe.
That's not a free market, that's a PopeRatzo strawman free market. Namely it's one that doesn't and can't exist as it's a fundamental oxymoron.
I think sane people want a "free market" to the extent possible. The government should only interfere when there's an actual problem and that problem is greatly damaging to society.
Paying $40 extra to an Uber driver - that's not one of those times. Paying $100k for a $5 drug because of a monopoly granted by the government in the _first place_ probably is.
So when you hear those evil capitalists carrying on about a free market, don't imagine Anarchy. You'll waste less of people's time deciphering your nonsense.
Yeah, why would you, as an Uber driver, work in a much more risky environment if there's no additional pay? You barely make profit as it is and these assholes are whining about paying extra in chaos?
Wait, because people whine on twitter about paying more money (which they can afford) you think this is a market failure? Literally everything you're saying is idiotic on about 3 different levels. Can you name someone who died because of this? Who was injured? Can you actually name anyone who was harmed in any way beyond paying more money than they usually do?
There was no market failure, just you running around and shitposting about "profiteering" every chance you get because of the optics of it. Nobody cares, and posts on twitter, contrary to popular opinion, are not "news" or a "big deal".
You keep saying that, and each time it's just as silly. Why would an Uber driver work in a more dangerous/chaotic situation if there isn't extra money in it? They'll just stay home, to avoid "profiteering" lol, and you can walk your ass home or wait for a taxi. Good luck.
Last night when this happened the news was pretty much silent, or at least "understated" to put it mildly.
As for the "surge pricing" people are dumb and don't understand economics. What kind of dumb shit thinks you should pay the same rate during a time of high demand? I'm actually embarrassed for those whining about this. It's pathetic.
And by this, I mean spaces are inferior, just like Betamax actually was.
Tabs are, of course, more logical because it lets the person viewing/editing the code decide how it looks. You can set your tab width to 2 chars for super tight code, 3 for a bit more obvious indentation, or a more standard look with 4. You can even go nuts and go with 8 spaces.
A tab semantically means "indent this one level". Two tabs = 2 indentations, etc... What the _fuck_ does 8 spaces mean? Is that one indentation or two? Oh, that's right, you have to look at the rest of the existing code to figure it out.
It's god damn ridiculous and to hell with the Spacers.
Lol, according to what valid data? It strains credulity, to put it politely, to think that the companies employing people will say "Oh, you're a dad now? Here's some extra free money!".
Are they including health care benefits in this? If so, then 'durr'. Are they only looking at data from the past 10 years, or are they going back to 1975?
The only meaningful data would correct for hours worked. So literally pay/hr is what all these metrics should be using. But they don't.
Lol, "daddy bonus". Or as normal people would call it, the "age and experience bonus", as obviously the ages where you're most likely to have a kid are also when you're probably in your prime in terms of work being done.
In other words, 30 year old men make more than 23 year old men. Quick, call the presses!
The Tesla isn't a practical only car. With that in mind, all of the complaints against it melt away. If you have the wealth to buy a Tesla, you have the wealth to get a second (or third) car for the situations where the Tesla doesn't fit.
Yeah, this "controversy" is stupid. Just because the studies done so far are bad doesn't mean you shouldn't floss.
For a quick test of the obvious, for a few nights after you brush your teeth floss and see if you have any gunk on the floss afterwards. If you do - durr, flossing is good, that gunk can cause gum and tooth issues.
Personally, I floss with a water pik. But seeing the little bits of shit that flow out into the sink is evidence enough for me.
They do now. The implication was that they were involved in putting ecigs out there in the first place, and they certainly weren't - as you say it's a threat to their profit model.
You have to believe it, huh? Not "have evidence of" or "know based on facts"? The fact is your kid is breathing in far more dangerous shit when he's anywhere near a major road or freeway.
First, tobacco companies didn't put these devices out.
Second, the "assumption" is correct based on previous studies. If they are using an actual working, properly used e-cig then I'm sure that's in the study and will be made clear. If they're not, then the study is worthless.
He didn't invite Russia to do anything, he implied they already had and joked that he wanted the emails they already have. He did not invite them to do it. This is a bald faced lie dreamed up by the DNC and their media crony buddies.
No. The article title is a lie and all the furor over this is risible. Fucking risible.
First and foremost he said Russia should give them over, implying they already hacked them. He was not calling for them to hack anything, he was indicating that they may have already done so and should turn over the docs.
Second, he's trolling. Obviously. And the gullible "news media" (at this point no more than extensions of generally the DNC, but occasionally the RNC) are trying to push their agenda hard using said trolling.

Go look in the 20 other posts this asshole has in this story, from context you can pretty much gather what he thinks it means.

Umm.. have you read slashdot? It's a den of idiocy for the most part, stuck in 1999.

Wow, dailykos and Huffpo really shilling for the DNC, huh? The number of hit pieces is pretty hilarious and transparent.
Yes, because the Linux kernel was barely popular by the time 2.6 rolled around, right? Good god, so many dummies.
He did write most of the Linux kernel at the time it became wildly popular, of course. What are you carrying on about?
Yes, a quick email means he is totally neglecting all the important things.
