    Quite simply, if you have the ability to look at code you wrote recently and ask yourself, "what the hell was I thinking?"

    Let's use this opportunity to clean out the stink. Including the fact that https://www.linkedin.com/in/jsmarr/ made Friendster (somewhat) popular by taking users registrations to h…

    Can someone explain to me this dichotomy I see with the almost thermo-nuclear war when it comes to copyright protection of total drivel, but when it comes to fin-tech there is lite…

    This is the approach I take. The subject should always be queried, so just use a field on that subject for the purpose of killing current sessions.

    Is there another system you know in which no one has experienced "extreme hardship?" Are you saying the driver in this article is an example of that?

    That's fair enough and I see that point. My intent is not to defend Kalanick, but I do instinctually defend free markets. I think Uber and its drivers found itself in a situation w…

    So, it matters that it was lowered but actual amounts are inconsequential? I reject that.

    Because I find it incredibly hard to believe that he would engage like this if he believed there was a possibility of the conversation being made public. Sure, I could be wrong, bu…

    Right, the driver didn't even know what the current Uber Black fair was...falsely claiming it was $2.75. Anyone would get annoyed when someone was telling you that you were essenti…

    Obviously, he did not know he was being filmed...so it was a secret.

    It seems like the driver should know these basic facts before he engages on the matter.

    The problem with this is that it ignores the economic realities that went into the decision of Uber to lower fairs and assumes that their demand would have remained the same with o…

    I don't consider it a fair discussion when the driver falsely insists the fair is $2.75/mile, when it is $3.75/mile and continues to pound the theme when Kalanick had already given…

    So, let me get this straight. Uber has lowered the fair once on Uber Black to $3.75/mile, yet it seems that this driver was falsely insisting it was $2.75/mile. That would be frust…

    Ok, I see that now, it was not always the case...it has been awhile since I looked through their documentation. TY!

    Which is why you rarely see successful lawsuits by companies toward former employees on this matter. Law is solidified by precedence and the rulings have been more and more against…

    I don't really understand the brouhaha either, unless my assumption is wrong that an opt-out option will be given for context based remapping on an app-by-app basis if not system w…
