Uber and Lyft are not here to usher in the autonomous car revolution. They are here to completely curbstomp old means of employment in hopes of making all employees for every company ever an "independent contractor", which means more money for the management and investors. If you believe that this isn't the case, I have a bridge to sell you. z-gauge for what it's worth.

Stringent posted:this use of the pejorative "political" to refer to politics i don't agree with has to be tiredest rhetorical device I get you're being super disingenuous on purpose but theres a huge difference between a law against threats of violence vs a law against speech you don't like on a whim.

your fascist brain doesn't get it. instead of using existing law to punish actual threats, you want to drum up new laws to give the executive wider power to clamp down on speech they don't like. all because you're stupid enough to believe a lovely politician lost a race because of people being mean online.

I always love that anecdote about one tech company or another that lost 30 percent of their black workforce in one month, and when an auditor asked about it they said "oh yeah mark quit"

looking at the modern state of the world and internet I'd say the experiment in utterly untrammeled free speech has failed like many other aspects of society and government america did it first and someone else later did it in a better and more refined way

infernal machines posted:this is the weirdest thing about uber's obsession with autonomous vehicles. paying for a fleet (and maintenance, fueling, etc. thereof) of high tech autonomous cabs will never in our lifetimes be cheaper than hiring broke rear end under-employed millennials and externalizing 100% of the costs to them. It's true that there's no real reason for Uber itself to be so interested in developing autonomous vehicles though, but that's true about most stuff that most tech companies do purely to appeal to investors.
