"avoiding fats" was quite possibly the worst thing to ever happen to the American diet, mainly because they got replaced by sugars in most situations.

In the US, employers aren't allowed to ask for that information for legal reasons; as such, it's typically considered inappropriate for a candidate to furnish that information.

Makes a big difference. Applying for work visas for someone from the EU is totally different than applying for a work visa for someone from the middle east.

Are you serious? Why would a U.S. company want to hire an intern that they have to get a visa for? Unless this guy is applying for internships with Facebook in Egypt, there's absolutely no incentive for a U.S. based company to seek to employ foreign nationals for a position that is largely non-skilled.

>If they have to raise prices above traditional cabs (highly unlikely)

I don't think you realize how much it would damage their business model's profitability to have to pay payroll taxes on all their drivers. It's not just about offering a better service to consumers; Uber/Lyft would emphatically not have this many backers if their business model weren't insanely profitable. If profit margins shrink, poof, there goes funding.

>I do not believe Uber should have to treat all of its drivers as employees.

I think they should, because currently it's very hard to live a life as an uninsured contract worker unless you are married to someone with health insurance.

I think the ultimate solution to this is to do away with distinctions between W-2 and 1099-MISC income, and really only have investment income vs. wage income.

I actually like this lawsuit, as if I'm honest, I don't think Uber/Lyft, etc. should have gone the contract-service offering route. I think they might have been just as well off as a middleware provider, connecting customers with existing cab services, and offering their tools as a SaaS.

It's interesting to think about how different the world would be right now if Uber had gone into software sales as opposed to attempting to be a cab competitor.

I realize the inventors largely created the service as an alternative/competitor to cabs, which they disliked for various reasons. It's still interesting to think about what could have been, if only they'd been more interested in fixing the logistics of cab companies than "inventing an industry".

If this attorney is ultimately successful, I can easily see Uber/Lyft's business model morphing as a result. I don't think there's enough profit in their business if they have make all their contractors W-2 workers.

It's primarily a tax and insurance related designation. It helps determine agency, it grants both individuals and corporations certain rights, etc.

It's all very legalese.

But, really, most audio companies were never properly positioned to offer the type of product that Beats has anyway. Bose could probably have made the connection, as could a few other broader electronic brands (Sony, Panasonic, etc.), but most brands that are primarily focused on speakers/headphones operate by courting audiophiles, because traditionally that's where the money has been.

Certainly, Beats has done an excellent job of generating a brand image and marketing a product. However, many other companies in the headphone market would have had a challenge doing the same, because if they were to court the casual listener market, they may risk losing the traditional audiophile market.

Assuming 50 weeks worked per year (giving you 2 weeks of vacation/holidays), that's only $100000/(60x50) = $33.33/hr.

If you have the type of resume they're looking for and aren't asking ~$50/hr, you're either not very good, or more likely selling yourself short.

I'm (obviously) not the person you're replying to, but information security, financial analyst, systems analyst (ok, some basic programming skill required), systems architect, IT audit all come to mind. That's just within the scope of the jobs I've been asked to interview for within the last 3-4 months. I'm a CISSP with a couple years of infosec consulting & audit experience; I can read/write SQL, and that's about it, in terms of programming.

That said, I understand large-scale organizational infrastructure and am current on the organizational concepts associated with building & mainaining a large-scale IT environment, so that's what I bring to the table as an employee. I work 40-45 hours in an average week, and the glassdoor box charts for positions with my skill set are typically between $80k and $130k, depending on experience and the company you choose to work for in my region.

I think the true intent of PR-speak like this is to drive the government to subsidize business growth via tax breaks, etc.

>The evidence mentioned here are the addresses of the Command and Control servers. But the author does not give any reason for why he or she thinks this is the thing the FBI is being cryptic about?

The fbi and several other sources publicized the select portion of the code base that linked the ips to shamoon. Presumably, the piece the fbi is being cryptic about is the servers behind the proxy, which, as mentioned, it probably isn't too much of a stretch to guess the government might be able to trace.
