I disagree.. this "idiot" cleverly parlayed an unpaid internship 'firing' into fame and notoriety to get noticed and then hired by a security company; you can't buy this much press even on a Harvard tuition budget. He had a bigger plan all along, and will be hired by a firm in the area of his interest.
Such a firm will be smart to do so. And they will not fail to capitalize on this new hire... they will highlight that one of their employees, [begin bio and / or press release] "...recently made international news by demonstrating a critical security / privacy flaw in FaceBook's messenger application, a flaw that potentially affected hundreds of millions of unsuspecting at-risk FB users".
There is an entire parable about this in the Bible, in Matthew 20.
The gist is: fuck you, you earn plenty, stop griping about others getting a slice of pie.
FALSE. The parable involves hiring people to do the exact same chore but more importantly is intended to address the attitude of 'long time faithful folk' feeling upset about the new converts getting rewarded with the same afterlife as those who walked the walk on Earth much longer.
In the Price story -- he hired people to do different chores and then blindly rewarded them all equally without regard to difficulty, experience, effort, and so forth . A mistaken theory... and the publicity that he sought has not offset the consequences.
If this was not a publicity stunt, they why didn't he just do it without alerting the media?
If I were prone to dark speculation, I would think about the ChiCom leaders with an overabundance of men in the population (resulting from preferential male births).
They have 50 million more men than women. That's a frustrated powder keg that must dealt with; one way to reduce that population is a land war.
Hafnium is about a dollar / gram. Nitrogen and carbon are plentiful and relatively cheap. Is this dramatically more expensive than current high temp materials?
And this will finally lead to the steeper curve on the desktop, etc. replacement upgrade cycle that hardware builders have been waiting for, probably in late 2017.
I think the point is the bonds guarantee you will get all your invested dollars 1:1 in 10 years (plus some interest). That is an important guarantee as it makes planning possible with a stable currency.
And the comment above appears to be pointing out that Crypto Currencies cannot make that promise, the values flux wildly at times at may go to zero.
Maybe the Winkies can work on that.
Hollywood Agent says: We will represent you but you got to do a few things. Like stay in touch, we're paid on commission, so we need to reach you when we need to reach you... take all the vacations you want, but when you are available to work, be reachable this way. And if you don't like our agency, continue with Agent Lyft.
Top Hollywood agents will kick you out if you refuse to work, they are paid on commission. Plus, with Agent Uber you can "clock out for vacation" any time, every 30 minutes if you like. And you can always continue with Agent Lyft if you are unhappy with Agent Uber.
Nope. Acting agent has an exclusive % contract, the actor agrees to it expressly. A good agent offers lots of benefits and perks, spends lots of dough to keep the Tom Cruises on board, maybe 6 figures per year if necessary in limos, dinners, trips, and goodies. They could let Tom pay all that, but it's good for business as an agent.
There is more than one UBER -- other big agent in town is Lyft.
And give it time, if business is good, just like in early Hollywood other agents will appear -- as they have already done in China and India.
Uber actors make direct contact with customers like the movie actors.
Actors have exclusive contracts with their acting agent whereas Uber agent is more lenient, non-exclusive, can also work for Lyft.
Good actor has a large amount of work available, just like a productive Uber actor. Uber filters out and rejects customers too, just like a smart agent.
So the agent says. "if you turn down a certain % of the potential work I get for you, at some point I am dropping you and working with another actor because I am paid on commission."
And you can just go get another agent, Lyft for example.
How does the ST fantasy economy distribute private property? How did Picard family get to keep a vast tract of French wine country and a country home? Do they keep it by meritocracy? Can Riker earn it away from him by being a better captain?
How come it is not shared, since there are not many of them?

The big difference is that Amazon has pretty obvious infrastructure investments, what does Uber have? Aerons, hookers & blow?
Announcing the new Uber delivery service... The Trifecta Package. Will the limited supply of hookers & blow create surge pricing on Friday nights?

Why not just save tens of thousands of dollars and get a Carolla.
He's apparently not for sale, but you make a fair point... buying Carolla would be cheaper than a Tesla. http://adamcarolla.com/
What about the other half?
All depends where the money goes...
Good News... per the headline, and TFS, and the related article, it's going to India.
Can someone explain the value of collecting data on battery strength, phone temperature, etc. ?
Seriously, they must be able to monetize that (why else risk alienating customers) but how?
What is the monetary value in knowing my phone temp?

You're thinking of Soylent Pig, the other, other white meat.
Isn't it more likely that the Pluto Truther statements are just some AI stunt? Some AI lab is showing off its capabilities.

Or quit acting altogether, it is optional.
Exactly, Uber is the agent, takes a cut for their connections and so forth. Perfect.

The agent lines up work options, the actor decides to take it or not.
- Actor pays her own expenses
- Actor works whenever she chooses (or not)
- Actor gives a percentage of her earnings to the agent for successful gigs.
Is the agent her employer?

The analogy is the actor's agent and the actor. "Find me some work, but I reserve the right not to take the part."
