there's a bunch of lovely ad networks that basically try to spam app store links. usually it's something scummy like game of war or a candy crush knockoff, but i guess uber might be on the same ethical level?

In preparation for the biggest event in canine sports history, PUPPY BOWL XI, we are teaming up with Animal Planet to deliver adoptable puppies to animal lovers across Atlanta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Dallas, DC, Denver, Indianapolis, LA, Phoenix & Seattle! Break out all the warm fuzzy feelings and get ready to go “awwww” – you’ll get to cheer on Team Ruff and Team Fluff with #UberPuppyBowl and see who will take home the title of top dog!
UBER IS DELIVERING PUPPY BOWL ON DEMAND IN 10 CITIES!

HOW IT WORKS:

Open your Uber app on Wednesday, January 28, between 11am & 3pm.
Request the “PUPPIES” option in your app. Puppy Bowl can only be delivered to offices. In DC? Enter promo code DCpuppies to unlock the option in your app.
Once the puppies arrive, you and your friends will get to enjoy 15 minutes of puppy cuteness! PRO TIP: Make sure to have an enclosed space ready for Team Ruff and Team Fluff game time!*
Found your Most Valuable Pup? All puppies are eligible for adoption!

*If you’re lucky enough to request puppies to your office, please make sure your boss or building is going to be cool with the woofs and that no one in the area is allergic. Also, having a dedicated room for puppy playtime is preferred. puppies (1)

It’s just $30 for 15 minutes of puppy playtime and every dollar from your visit is donated directly to the participating organization in your city! In most cities, you’ll also have the option of adopting that little furry friend you’ve almost certainly fallen in love with. Just ask the rep assisting with your puppy delivery. These cute little canines will be in very high demand, and #UberPuppyBowl availability will be limited. Please be patient. We’ll be working all day to make sure puppies come to play! If you can’t get a visit from the puppies today, visit the adoptable puppies in person using the links below.

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT We’re teaming up with the following organizations to bring you these playful pups:
Arizona Humane Society | Atlanta Humane Society | BARCS Baltimore | Cleveland Animal Protective League | Dallas Animal Services | Denver Dumb Friends League | Humane Society of Indianapolis| Wags and Walks – LA |PAWS Seattle| Washington Area Rescue League

NEW TO UBER? Don’t let that be the reason you’re kept on the leash. Download Uber and enter the promotion code below for $20 off your first ride.

it must be in safari.

iOS8 blocked the automatic app store redirects without user interaction because they were passing people off.

so what ad networks did is include a javascript bit to make a transparent overlay on the entire page that you "click" when you go to scroll. presto that's user interaction and app store redirects are enabled!

basically all dedicated online advertising companies are desperate as hell for any sort of conversions as click through rates drop like stones.

refusing to acknowledge that there is always Labor To Do is a failure of objectivity and reason, not of a lack of labor to go around

if you fear the future where Doing Labor regains its supremacy, there will always be menial jobs such as programming, however the compensation would be commensurate to the level of Labor involved

a programmer would not starve, and that is adequate

Nature of Incident: Drug Dealers Arrested While Using Uber to Commit Crimes

Report Number: 15-2103

Location: Westlake Boulevard South of Avenida De Los Arboles, Thousand Oaks

Date & Time: 1-28-15 at 11:58 a.m.

Unit Responsible: Thousand Oaks Patrol

(S)uspects, (V)ictims, (P)arty, (D)ecedent City of Residence Age
(S) Cody Jens - Agoura Hills - 24
(S) Luke Karasiuk - Thousand Oaks - 22

Narrative:
On January 28, 2015, patrol deputies from the Thousand Oaks Police Station made an enforcement stop on a car for a vehicle code violation. The deputies soon learned the driver was operating his vehicle for the Uber taxi service. The rear seat passengers were contacted and found to be in possession of approximately one quarter pound of concentrated cannabis known as “butane honey oil” and $2000. The investigation revealed the two subjects were using Uber to drive them to a drug deal where they could sell their concentrated cannabis. Cody Jens and Luke Karasiuk were arrested for possessing a controlled substance for sale. They were both booked into the Ventura County Jail.

Concentrated Cannabis, aka honey oil, wax, or shatter, is an extremely potent drug that can contain purity levels of up to 80% of Delta 9 THC (the active ingredient in marijuana). A typical dose of honey oil is 1/10th of one gram. These individuals had well over a thousand dosage units of the product. Honey oil is extremely dangerous in that it can cause adverse events in users such as severe hallucinations and panic attacks. Honey oil is very hazardous to make since it involves a chemical reaction utilizing large amounts of butane. Frequently, labs blow up killing or maiming individuals attempting to make the product.
