It's not just a question of diversification.

With enough AI, you can control civil unrest at scale. You can listen to what people are saying in private conversations. You can punish people before they get a chance to organize and form a critical mass. AI is every dictator's wet dream!

Stupid extremists can be found on both sides.

The only difference is that Republicans elect their extremists to power.

Yes, Go is becoming more popular, but why are we still using the TIOBE index?

That index is absolute junk and can be gamed.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Mann received a $1 million judgement. In other words, he received a $1,000,000 judgement, not a $1 judgement.

But this will also depend on the location.

In California for instance, drivers got a lot more independence since they were sued them for treating their drivers too much like employees (and not like contractors), so in California, the drivers have a lot more freedom. But in places like Texas, drivers are still being micromanaged by the app. It's a different experience.

Also, the app has a ranking of drivers, and the platinum and diamond drivers have a lot more freedom and information than the blue, pro, and gold drivers. So keep that in mind when you're talking to actual drivers. Not all drivers get the same user experience.

In addition, I wouldn't be surprised if drivers have a better user experience with Uber in the cities where Empower operates. After all, when you have a large company and network effect in your favor, you can use your scale to squash any small new operators trying to get started in those cities. So my bet is that the drivers are getting a better user experience and better pay in those cities Empower operates. And my bet is that Uber customers are also getting better deals as well. Then once Empower disappears, then they'll squeeze both the drivers and the customers as much as possible.

Actually, I made a slight mistake.

The Uber driver can also get the cancelation fee if the driver is arrives at the right location and waits for the allotted time. But that too is not what you're describing.

Again, 10 years is a long time. The technology has drastically improved since then.

Your information is most likely 10 years out of date. Uber was relatively young then.

Drivers can no longer collect the cancellation fee if they cancel the ride themselves. They only get the fee if the cancellation is done by the passenger, and even then, the cancellation fee is only taken if the cancellation is done after one minute AND the Uber is on schedule to arrive later than originally predicted. In other words, if the Uber is stuck in traffic, the passenger can cancel and won't be charged anything.

Ooops. My bad. The story isn't true.

At some point, I think the victim should be allowed to sue the manufacturers of such devices.

It's the only way it's going to stop this problem from spiraling out of control.

That would be funny.

I can see the AI companies charging for that stuff.

So let me get this straight.

President Trump was right to use the power of his office to threaten to take away the NFL's tax status and censor Kaepernick for taking a knee.

But private individuals are wrong for not wanting to support a privately-owned platform that hosts Nazis and that monetizes Nazi propaganda.

Do I have this right?

Yeah, I never went to a National Amusement park owned by Paramount, but when I went to Universal Studios, they required us to provide a thumbprint along with my ID.

It sounds to me like the Wall Street Journal is outsourcing its writing and editing of tech stories to non-native English speakers and AI.

Elon Musk has 11 children. Most of those were conceived through artificial insemination and Elon's personal eugenics program. With this school, I wouldn't be surprised if he plans to have 20 additional kids, that he would mix in with the gifted children of other parents and other oligarchs.

You don't get it.
