in corporate japan, the expectation is that you be at work before your boss and leave after he leaves, and he has the same expectation with his bosses, and so on up the chain. salarymen live at work. i'm sure everyone knows this. it's so bad now that canon had to implement a mandatory "go home and have sex with your wife" program when subsets of employees are barred from entering the building for a day, because it wasn't happening otherwise.

but i'm sure the 80+ hour startup culture is totally healthy and sustainable

Ok, I will agree that it's ill-mannered to ask the second time for someone who responds with perfect diction in whatever locale. However, if someone is really from another country and claims to be from Toronto with a slight accent, as in the example given earlier, they're full of poo poo. I also don't subscribe to the melting pot. Everyone is from somewhere not here. I can count 5 ethnicities in my own blood.

idk if you've heard it but the IRS keeps pointing out that if they only were given the up front money to do investigations and enforcement they could return 100x the amount via stopping fraud. independent contractor fraud is one of the things they would target.

but they also might catch a big campaign donor or large business cheating like hell and we can't have that can we?

also lol uber is hosed if they go to jury. those emails paint them as the shithead power tripping boss that everyone hates.

uber is doing ok in nyc, while complying with the law

rides are somewhat more expensive than calling a fixed-rate car service (point A to point B will cost you $X dollars, determined in advance) and they're a teeny bit cheaper than a standard cab ($X for pickup, $Y dollars for each minute/mile). all the cars are licensed/insured livery cars, mostly working for those fixed-rate car services.

the advantage to using uber over just calling a service directly is you don't have to know which service is good in a given neighborhood. uber aggregates capacity and weeds out assholes for you. in exchange, you pay more and uber takes a cut.

a profitable, legal business model was always an option. but it's more profitable to break the law and put hundreds of thousands of underpaid gypsy cab drivers on the road

3 or so years ago i met some dude from pittsburg who within 10 minutes of meeting me (we were in a hotel outside the us) complained about city taxes and explained thats why he lived in the county outside the city

he also used "i'm not racist, but" before explaining why he didn't like something about obama
