That’s not what the article is about. It’s comparing Uber to Cars, because Uber is the most direct comparison to cars - as an option that’ll get you from Point A to Point B - not Somewhere within a mile of Point B, to Point C, to Point D, then somewhere within a mile of Point B.

One thing to note is that these were apparently “physician samples” sounds to me they might be sample packs, which have a higher likelihood of being given out to women who’ve either never taken the pill before or never with this brand.

They’ve stopped donating to anti-lgbt groups btw.

Ahh, well that’s the way it’s defined - each job is picking up and driving passengers around. He also doesn’t have set or designated work hours like salaried jobs - but most independent contractors wouldn’t be covered at all (i.e. if you hired a plumber, and he slipped and fell after fixing your toilet, while taking a…

I’m pretty sure soda, which has been around forever, is the main use of plastic straws.

One thing I want to note is that, a lot of people are saying:

They are begging the government for more regulation - i.e. to regulate uber/lyft. They LIKE the way the medallion system was.

The cities would be fine returning fees for the medallion - since most of them were sold 70 years ago for $50.

“Upside? Slightly cheaper taxi ride. Downside? The driver to whom you will be entrusting your life will be a less-than-minimum wage worker living in poverty.”

To be fair, that’s every job that won’t cover your out-of-pocket medical bills for injuries incurred off the job.

yep you’re right, eyewitnesses say they looked like they were going 60 mpg - though normal people are terrible at being able to give any reliable estimate of speed, though ok at judging distance.

Yes if you look at the map there’s clearly a pedestrian ramp, which creates a pedestrian crossing. It is also mentioned in the article.

That’s where street racing comes in. If the speed limit was 40 mph, then she could have seen that the car was far enough away to pass safely. IF those cars were street racing and instead going at 100-120 mph, then they would have covered that distance 3X as fast - so even if she correctly judged cars far enough away…

It’s not a bad idea, Amazon’s advantage is because they were first movers they had their products in more homes, and to build up an ecosystem, having large numbers out there is important. Giving out a bunch of google minis for free is a fast way of negating Amazon’s advantage.

This should be a “Salty Waitress” question. Me and a group of friends saw a restaurant that had a sign saying they closed 30 minutes ago, but we saw people in there. It’s cool for us to barge in and refuse to leave when asked by tired waitresses who just want to go home, and go and camp in their restrooms making those…

I’ve not seen such a requirement, or know if it’s the case applied to restaurants.

A restaurant is different from a Walmart. Restaurants sometimes do have diners stay past closing (though new diners are not allowed in), but while customers are in there dining - they generally do not lock the doors as that would make people finishing up in there uncomfortable. I’ve never seen a restaurant…

They did tell them them the restaurant was closed and it was unavailable - they barged in anyway, and at that point it was trespassing. Restaurants sometimes do have diners stay past closing (though new diners are not allowed in), but while customers are in there dining - they generally do not lock the doors as that…

Oh and everyone says they can’t believe anyone would care, but honestly - all else being equal, you don’t feel better about seeing the doctor taking care of your family wearing scrubs and a labcoat rather than jeans and a hoody, or you wouldn’t go for the clean-cut accountant wearing slacks and a dress shirt in a…

Mm yea for a graphics designer like OP, sure. Doesn’t work for a lot of other business environments though.
