Not Even Nice Work If You Can Get It; A Longitudinal Study of Uber's Algorithmic Pay and Pricing
Ride-sharing platforms like Uber market themselves as enabling `flexibility' for their workforce, meaning that drivers are expected to anticipate when and where the algorithm will allocate them jobs, and how well remunerated those jobs will be. In this work we describe our process of participatory action research with drivers and trade union organisers, culminating in a participatory audit of Uber's algorithmic pay and work allocation, before and after the introduction of dynamic pricing. Throu…

I have a ticket to nine inch nails in Berlin on July 1 and I don’t think I can attend, personal reasons. Fairly good seating, I paid 94€, but I’m willing to sell it for 60€ or best offer. Anyone interested? Please reboost

Vaseline. Vaseline (or, indeed, lip balm) on the lenses works a treat. Causes no lasting damage but places the vehicle out of use for some time. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jun/10/uber-uk-trial-of-self…

#Tesla will mit Robotaxis beweisen, dass autonomes Fahren ohne Lidar und nur mit Kameras möglich ist. Doch die Zeit drängt: Waymo, VW und Uber sind schon da. Sollte der Start in Austin misslingen, droht Tesla der Verlust seiner Vorreiterrolle – und der Glaube an Musks Vision. Es ist nicht nur ein Test für die Technik, sondern für das ganze Unternehmen.

It is a week until the grand Kim Jong Un, oops I mean FFOTUS imperial parade.
(How could I conflate Kim Jong Un's parade with the FFOTUS one? - North Korea does a much better job of putting on mass tributes.)
Anyway, I do hope that DC Metro workers and Uber/Lyft drivers take a sick day off as many of the parade goers will be anti-vaxers with active, infectious Covid or Measles.
Don't forget that on the 14th you should arrive mid-day to your local Metro stop, park in…

Did you know if you are outside your home country and purchase something using #PayPal in a foreign currency and then download your transactions in a CSV from PayPal you get the transactions in the foreign currency?
I couldn't figure out why I had all these strange charges...ends up it was when I was in #Sweden - for #Uber rides. 🥴
Not sure this is the wrong way to do it, but it certainly has made trying to put together my #taxes confusing. 😂
