Option 3 is the only one that seems sustainable long term. Donations will NEVER keep up with user growth, thus storage costs will balloon out of control.

Completely avoiding any chance of illegal content touching the servers should immediately have everyone agreeing on this option. I doubt anyone here is willing to foot legal bills and as such even minor legal actions would be the end of this instance.

Privacy is nice but ip logging is the simplest form to "protect" against with even a free VPN. If those claiming privacy concerns here aren't already using a VPN and are depending purely on lemme.ee's proxy then their internet hygiene needs an update.

As for usability, the image being deleted from external provider presents the same issue to the user between option 2 and 3. The cache from option 2 will inventually get cleared and it'll fail to pull a fresh copy if deleted from the external hosts.

The end scene of Furiosa definitely has a large time jump. There was enough time for a tree to grow over Dementus. Which at a minimum is a few years. I would consider that to be enough time to rebuild gas town and bullet farm. Not to mention the implied time jump based on the her age difference. I think all the other minor discrepancies play into the idea that tales passed down by oral recollection will result in changes. The movie even implied that with the narrator talking about the different version of how people recall Furiosa killing Dementus.

I take all of it to mean that the major plot points are events that happened but the details, actions scenes, etc can be embellishments of each story teller.

Damn a 75% conversion rate to permanent housing within 1 years is pretty amazing. This shows that most homeless people just need a little help, especially those that we're stable before medical issues or accidents. Next step is to fix our socio-economic system so one or two bad events don't put people out on the streets.

It's a terrible headline that completely downplays a successful mission. Instead of focusing on the fact that they achieved a landing accuracy of 55m where previous missions measured in kilometres they went for a cheap joke. This is in spite of having a thruster fail that resulted in the lander tipping over but still able to deploy is rover. The same article from a better website would have probably faired better.

It's always been lowest common denominator content that's made the most money. I always ask people about movie preferences and an ever increasing common theme "Life is already tough, I don't want a serious movie, I just want mindless entertainment." Sequels provide that, you know the characters, you know the stakes, sprinkle in jokes and you have a mindless money maker.

And the immediate concern is about what it can cost the economy. Not the social impacts regarding family, friends, and society as a whole but the economy.

You only get paid for completing rides. Having the app open does nothing. How much you receive per ride varies greatly depending on location and time of day. Typically there is a base fee for the ride plus a per mile or per minute rate and some other potential fees. Uber then adds a 25% commission that they keep.

Minimum wage would come into play if a driver complete x hours of driving but the average hourly rate over those hours falls below the state's minimum wage. In those situations it would be Uber's responsibility to make up that difference. This is similar to to how restaurant servers in the US are paid. Most of the time their tips far exceed the minimum wage when averaged over their whole shift. In the occasional cases where tips are terrible or business is slow the restaurant is responsible for making up that difference to meet minimum wage requirements. These "tech" companies are stating they shouldn't be responsible for that because they don't have employees, just contractors who use their app.

Hope that makes sense.

If the punishment for a crime doesn't outweigh the profits then it's just the cost of doing business. Wake me up when any of these rulings and fees actually discourage the multitude of mega corps from commiting shitty and criminal behavior.

Yup, sounds like CEO talking points made to seem like the interest at heart is for "the betterment of humanity" without any concrete action plans or evidence of where the previous system failed those standards. Where have we heard that before 🤔

It's amazing how many for profit business exploit the good will of people passionate enough to contribute towards the sharing of knowledge without compensation and still treat them with no respect.

This is part of the reason I struggle with contributing anything to review sites, Google maps, etc
