Uber's been hit with another cease and desist order from an upset local government, this time in South Carolina. The Public Service Commission of South Carolina today ordered the transportation company (which also delivers kittens, ice cream, and human food), to halt its operations there due to what it says is improper licensing of its drivers. The legal notice names Rasier LLC, which is a subsidiary of Uber and operates its UberX service, saying that the company's drivers simply doesn't have the right credentials to be picking people up and taking them places for money.

"All motor carriers transporting persons or property for compensation to first obtain a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity before commencing operation," the filing states, later adding that the idea itself is not entirely terrible. "Consumers benefit from, and deserve choices in, the marketplace. However, those choices must be consistent with state law intended to protect the public."

Uber, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, has been operating its UberX service in the state since July of last year. Local regulators have been contemplating a special new classification for Uber and other services like it. A hearing to discuss the matter was originally set for later this month, but was halted after Uber surprised officials by filing to have its service certified to operate like other taxi and limousine services.

holy poo poo this guy is great (in a super-evil kind of way)

quote:

Founder Gurbaksh Chahal isn�t giving up on his efforts to acquire RadiumOne, the ad-tech company that fired him last year.

Back in April, Chahal was ousted from his role as CEO after he pled guilty to misdemeanor charges of battery and domestic violence battery, leading to intense criticism of the company. RadiumOne and Chahal later issued a joint statement saying that they had resolved their differences.

Then, last month, Chahal made an offer to buy the company for an undisclosed price, and while RadiumOne said it would take the offer to its board of directors, it also responded that �RadiumOne is not for sale� and described the offered price as one that �fails to reflect the value that has been built in the company.�

But as I said, Chahal isn�t giving up. I�ve obtained a copy of a subsequent letter in which he raises his offer by 25 percent. My copy doesn�t include the price, but the source who gave it to me said it�s in the nine figures. (Re/code heard that the initial offer was for just over $400 million. If that�s true, the subsequent offer would add $100 million.)

$90 for 6 days of mealcookies? you can literally buy 12,000 calories of cliff bars for $60 and get some flavor variety in your terrible oatmeal candy bar diet.

new startup idea, selling nerds a slowcooker covered in LEDs, plus premixed bags of rice, lentils, beans, and a seasoning mix.

If you're gonna chug a supplement thing as though it's a whole meal, it's probably a lot less disquieting to have it just taste like water than have it taste like chocolate.
