The idea behind Uber and its labor model is to strip away any remaining comforts or security for the working class, so they can finally get back to toiling 12 hours a day from the cradle to the grave for the convenience of the bourgeois upper middle class, like god intended

12 hour days is a bit conservative

"PC gone mad" is too British, and "SJW" has lost its luster, but fear not. We'll finally defeat the scourge of the dignity-wanters as soon as we find the right thing to sneer at them.

I'm not what that means but Asian Americans are definitely not counted as minorities in many discussions surrounding education and tech. I don't have any real conclusions on why.

The way you talk about it, Juicero sounds like some sort of vampire.

A vampire from "what we do in the shadows".... God I just realized if Vampirism existed some hipster would totally monetize and disrupt it

Let's be realistic here...

Speaking on which, whatever happened to that startup that was disrupting the restaurant industry encouraging illegal pop-up restaurants in people's homes?

Not sure which one you're mentioning, but NYT had an article saying the whole fad is a flop.

There are way more people willing to host than people willing to go to stranger's homes for a meal.

It makes sense for the government to go after the drivers. They broke the law, obviously! - said probably some idiot on the internet.

Really lovely that these people are struggling to survive and getting hosed form both directions.

I dunno. The sleaziness of Uber is very public. It's not like these drivers were blindsided. It's like taking a contract with Donald Trump at this point. If you're not getting your payment up front it's kinda your own fault when he inevitably stiffs you.

I mean, what were the driver's logic: Uber will gently caress everyone but me, the loyal contractor?

Here's a question for the gallery. Let's say there's a fantastical company that doesn't care about liability and willfully commits to moderating their large social media platform to weed out malicious behavior like harassment, threats, and disinfo. Even if they are completely benevolent and driven in their pursuit, is it practical or even possible to regulate a platform with a population in the hundreds of millions? Is there a system one could design or enough man-hours dedicated to moderation that it would be feasible?

We figured this poo poo out in the 90s. Just charge 10 bucks to post. Lurking is free.
