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

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?

by pjwal 10y ago
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 with falling demand amidst rising competition.

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, but I am of the camp that the driver will find legal repercuss

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 essentially doing your job wrong but didn't even know the

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 or without doing it. Drivers would have not been happy with h

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 his explanation. What is the driver expectin

by pjwal 10y ago
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 frustrating to me too.

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 employers, rightly so. It's OK to trust in the system

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 wide? Surely, there will be "hacks" to allow t

Yes her mandated Quarterly Performance Review system in which managers were forced to put a % of employees in under performing buckets single handedly damaged the moral more than anything in the companies history.
