The entire Parler team has worked hard to address Apple's concerns without compromising our core mission

What, exactly, is your core mission?

How is this not clearly an abuse of failed labor regulations?

Rules for contractors vs. employees are clear in most states. If they are monitoring how the driver is performing their work, this is clearly an employee and not a contractor.

You cannot prescribe certain specifics on how contractors do the work. You task them to deliver from point A to point B, and if they want to drive recklessly, or speed to destinations, or hell, maybe they have other work they need to do while delivering... this is not relevant when you are a contractor!

The really egregious part is that no telco in their right mind was installing Huawei and ZTE going back to 2012. The writing was on the wall for over a decade, long before there was a consumer ban on their products

But now they need 2BN to remove the products they never installed. SMH

Before time began, there was "The Cube"

Thank goodness WeWork didn't go public
In July/Aug, I have a feeling they're going to declare bankruptcy
They were completely unprofitable in January of this year; this, and with all their tenants leaving in droves or defaulting on their rent payments in March, spells certain doom for them. They will not be able to last more than a couple months

Bought several of these not 6 months ago for 8.60
Clearly inflated prices, but just enough to not get flagged as price gouging

Its not "misinformation", its lies. An intentionally false statement, is by definition, a lie.

If you've ever drank a gallon of milk or ate a corn by-product -- you've interacted with a product that's subsidized. These subsidies (food) are far deeper and have way more money wrapped up in them than Lyft and WeWork when you consider that they've been in place for nearly 100 years.

Uber, Lyft and WeWork have managed to wrangle their way into becoming an indispensable service -- they're too big to fail, this is the core problem.

Commenting on subsidies while only focusing on VC funded start ups is an ignorant stance -- especially given that transportation has long been added to the essential resources like food. Common carrier laws embrace this fact, but this has long been forgotten that transportation is considered essential. Fast forward a century, we've allowed private companies supplying those essential resources that is rightfully the public's. The problem here is NOT the subsidies from VC funding. The problem is that these companies are not embraced as essential to the operation of the US economy and should be regulated like a utility (inclusive of subsidies by taxpayers)

Wouldn't building an elevator run the risk of moving the moment of inertia too far away from the earths center? Could that cause the planet to spontaneously rotate unexpectedly on its rotational axis -- meaning it would flip upside down?

It includes your loan history -- but is not based entirely off your payment history, this is one component of many that contribute to your FICO

Incorrect, FICO scores are calculated by a number of things, including your average account balance, total utilization, and account length. So paying off loans early can hurt your credit score, especially if it lowers your average account length

Wrong again. Income has no bearing on your credit worthiness. Your ability to repay contributes to your credit worthiness. Your income is not the same as your ability to repay

Again, untrue, see above.

Creditors often reserve the right to change the terms of a unsecured credit line. They have the ability to raise or lower your credit lines typically at any time, for any reason. This includes lowering your limits because you've missed a payment, or closing your account indefinitely

Anecdotes do not calculate your FICO.

Experian's settlement of 22 million, is equivalent to a $124 to your average American

*Based on the median single income [not household] in America is roughly $31.1k per year in 2017

They leaked the personal information of millions. Their consequence was less than most speeding tickets to your average American.

Agreed. Noteworthy, while people are flying off the rails about how she doesn't know 'tech' to describe this problem we have an actual business-case.

Equifax. They need to be heavily regulated to operate in their oligopoly. Regulation does not mean you need to know 'tech'. They left their front door unlocked, and filing cabinets available for all to see after business hours... they don't care about your data

They only care about making sure that those users who came in after hours are cut off from their 'free trial' turn into paying customers

Just get Mexico to pay for it

That's a bummer. Just curious, what school did you attend?

I went to University of Connecticut, and I can tell you I had a mastery of C++ and Java before leaving school as those were the focus (1999-2004). My job has *not* been outsourced, went from Junior to Senior, to Manager now Director of my software division. Learning how to learn is probably the most important things you can comprehend in school. I started contracting in web development while I was in school. Even though my school days were post 1999 bubble, people at the time could still make money programming, especially discount rate college students.

Do you have to be driven? Yes. Do you have to work hard? Absolutely. Is CS an awesome career? Yes! If a piece of paper is needed as the entry fee, then I would insist that its totally worth it. Total cost for me was $70k (tuition and housing), 100% financed as I had no financial support -- and I would do it all over again.

Disclaimer: CS is only a good choice if you have a genuine interest and love for electronics and/or software. If you're came here just for the promise of money, you will suck at it.

I'm so tired of hearing how 'this ruling, and fine was small -- but SYMBOLIC!'

You knows whats symbolic? Fining them to the point of insolvency, and prison terms for the executives
