The Management posted:I may have mentioned it in the previous thread but Travis kalanick is in real life a goddamn piece of poo poo. I have no problem believing any of the scummy reports about über because that's just the kind of stuff he would do. Travis is a great name, for a shithead.

does that snapchat thing count as a tech bubble snapchat's internal API is exposed to the public so there are third-party snapchat sites and picture saving sites and poo poo well one of them saved all the pictures it came into contact with and someone posted them all on the internet and 4chan is making a website for it many of them are underage high school dick pics and boob pics so lol hope you like your distribution charges

FamDav posted:uber drivers arent employees. theyre "independent contractors," meaning that uber has no responsibility to them: no benefits, no minimum wage, no protections. uber promised these workers a certain rate / mile & then cut it in half. and these workers have no recourse. what can you do? TIP. you should have been paying twice what you did anyway. "independent contracting" is a goddamn wage-theft scam

crusader_complex posted:someone posted in the last thread something like 'we are getting a cyberpunk future, but just the lovely parts', and folks attaching a hobby psu to their temples for while theyre gaming is a fine example. i don't even think it's that the world is getting the lovely parts of cyberpunk but that we're on the wrong side. we're not the deck-punching street samurai; we're the corporate drones

How does "we built a framework that allows people to save your private photographs without your consent" translate to "It's your fault if people are saving your photos without consent"?

Wait, Snapchat, a company who's only feature was the transitory nature of the images you could send with it, allowed third parties to save these images?

If anything the kids were just being rude. Just because you have lived somewhere forever doesn’t mean you have a claim to anything. If there was a process in place to reserve the field and it was followed then it is too bad for you and your pickup game. Fields are reserved all across the country and have been forever. It doesn’t matter if you had to reserve through an app, online form, or through a paper application. They reserved it. It doesn’t make you right just because you don’t like or agree with something. Get off your high horses and quit blaming everything on smart, hard working, well paid professionals.
