Is there any reason to believe that they don’t? How would Uber attract top-talent programmers if they didn’t care about - oh, I see your mistake. You think that a driver who uses Uber’s service is an employee of Uber.

I complained to uber and they simply said.. don’t take anyone to the airport/deny the fair.

Don’t tip your Uber. It’s not like a cab, where the cabbie pays rent to the cab company and therefore has to live off the tips. When you pay for a ride you’re paying the driver, minus Uber’s 20% or so (in exchange for the service they’re providing to the driver.) The driver gets nearly everything, so there’s no reason…

Why do you say it’s not “included in the fare pricing”?

But why would they pay a “wage”? That doesn’t make any sense. Uber is a service drivers use, not an entity that has hired them. It would be like getting paid a wage by Tinder just because you swipe left a lot. If you’re riding in an Uber right now you’re the one who hired the driver. Not Uber.

Why would she get a wage? Uber is a service she hires to hook her up with people who want to pay her for rides. She gets paid everything the rider paid for the ride, minus the percentage Uber takes out for providing the service.

Yeah, but consider this - if Uber finds out your driver accepted a tip from you, they’ll be blocked from driving for Uber. So you’re putting your driver in the position of accepting offered cash now, vs. potentially losing whatever future livelihood they’re getting from Uber.

You don’t tip an Uber, though.

Huh? I’m just here to read Kinja deals.

If two words are ever interchangeable without altering the meaning of the sentence, they’re synonyms.

My point is that Bell’s Inequality tests for that, and so we know it’s not just our “misunderstanding of the universe”; there’s not actually a “hidden determinism” in quantum behavior.

Might I suggest, the sole purpose of mayo on a hamburger is as a micro-thin layer on the bottom bun, a hydrophobic coating that keeps the meat juices from rendering it a soggy mess. Done right and you can’t even taste it, it’s just there, guarding your bun. Not the hero you wanted, but the one you needed.

What’s the “systemic problem”? That there are so few female traumatic casualties that there’s practically no market for mass-production prosthetics at female-scale?

To be fair, female service members account for a whopping 1.8% of all casualties, and a smaller percentage still of the injuries that require prostheses, so it doesn’t strike me as unreasonable on the face that the VA doesn’t have a huge stock of female-scale prosthetic legs. Or that they would not actually be allowed…

“You don’t have to respond” is basically a euphemism for “if your response is going to be ‘no, I only like you as a friend and have no interest whatsoever in you as a potential girlfriend so I’m not even going to give you a chance’ then please just pretend you never got this message.”

Remember that time they did that, though? And then they were physically attacked because they were seen as soft targets for angry, armed men motivated by a media-enflamed desire for revenge?

In the ensuing gunfight, somehow Harris was the only one injured. If you have the luxury of taking that story at face value, congratulations, sounds like a nice life.

fathers need this leave as much as the mothers and that be awful if you ever implied that they don’t deserve it.

. And if your workers are happy, they do better work, faster and thus you make more money.

I don’t understand the relation you have with work, at all.
