That's fair and I don't blame you for being suspicious of my testimonial. I built the widget that's used in the demo. My son didn't play with it until the entire demo lesson was complete. He liked the lesson and learned binary from it -- something we hadn't taught him elsewhere. He asked to do it again on another day. He then went on and did two of our other unreleased lessons on his own and enjoyed them. As a parent and as someone who helped build this, I was excited.

I had the opportunity to work on this. I let my son try the demo last week. Hours afterward at dinner I asked him to explain binary to my wife.

"Mom, imagine you have the number 101 in binary. The first 1 is the fours spot, so you have 4. There's none in the twos spot. and 1 in the ones spot. So that means you have 5."

Two days later he came into my office and asked if he could do more tutor.

That's a huge win in my book!

I was an engineer at a company attempting to extract rare earth metals from fly ash using a solvent method (supercritical CO2). Similar to how caffeine is removed from coffee.

There aren’t a lot of rare earths in coal/fly ash but even modest coal plants produce tons of fly ash daily.

"Uber almost certainly can thrive even if it pays its drivers more, and even if it picks up their expenses and pays them benefits like a genuine employer. It won't make as much money per trip, but its service may become more reliable instead, which could expand its market."

Well, if that's the case then forcing the change need not happen. If there is a financial or competitive benefit (better service and more reliable) to the company, it will either make the change voluntarily or a competitor will figure that out and eventually grow larger. If not, then your assumption is wrong.

Oh - nobody forces anyone to work with uber. They know what they're signing up for. They're not entitled to anything from uber except for what they agreed upon in the contract to work.

I guess I'm confused. Most of these people that are praising Kelsey for "saving these children" are pro-choice. In other words, they're glad that the mother can't take drugs to help her feel better during the first and second trimester to protect the baby, but if the mother wans to to straight up kill the child, that's the mother's choice and is ok.

Cognitive dissonance much?
