betteridge's law isn't a "law" in the legal sense, it's an observation of the truth of the universe. like newton's law

introducing, Uber Safe™ultramiraculous posted:listen, you're kidding yourself if the claim of 'safety' was ever anything but a dogwhistle. yeah. its likely "safer" because it requires you to have a suitable phone and the rudimentary ratings system keeps out the undesirables. and since the trip is paid electronically, arguing over money is less likely to be a thing. there's a fair bit of self-selection bias which could be argued makes the service 'safer'. so it will be funny watching the lawyers talk around the fact that they have more white drivers and that they don't pick up poors, crazies and the homeless.

Do you think that uber drivers rate all 'undesireables' aka non-whites a 1, so that other drivers won't pick them up, etc etc etc

okay so an amicus really only comes into play in an appellate court, so trying to file anything now would be too soon

the entire city had street cleaning so you won't be able to park anywhere for 4-5 days, depending on where you're staying. and all the places with street shitters don't really have street parking anyways, it's hella downtown. where are you staying? it's easier to find parking near there.

http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/17/8228649/mary-meeker-ellen-pao-kleiner-perkins "Now, three years later, there’s an expectation — a fantasy, even — of what putting Silicon Valley on trial for sexism should look like. But Meeker’s statements on the witness stand served as another reminder that this lawsuit is not Ellen Pao vs. Institutionalized Sexism. This is Ellen Pao invoking California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act and possibly coming up short. Bias in the workplace is rarely easy to identify. In order to vote in Pao’s favor, the jury will have to believe that Pao’s gender "was a substantial motivating reason" in Kleiner’s decisions not to promote her to senior partner. And Meeker’s mere existence seems like proof that women can thrive at Kleiner Perkins. But comparing Pao and Meeker — and their experience — is like comparing a struggling, but promising company like Twitter to a force of nature like Facebook. "

If you have some cash to spare there are some decent inns across the golden gate bridge in Marin County. Just don't stay in the city-rear end city. San Francisco itself is a weird place.

A primary caregiver must be at least 18 years of age, unless the primary caregiver is an emancipated minor or the parent of a minor child who is a qualified patient. This may be an individual or the owner, operator or employee of an appropriately licensed clinic, facility, hospice, or home health agency For more information please visit the Responsibilities: Applicant, Primary Caregiver, and Physician web page.
