Only because the Republican base don’t make enough money to travel internationally in the first place.

Is Uber saying no? Or are drivers cancelling rides when they realize there’s an animal that wasn’t disclosed previously, and they aren’t part of Uber Pets?

Because there’s a distinct difference there.

But it’s up to the driver whether to allow an animal in their personal vehicle.

It’s not about training. People lie, and there is no way to verify service animals. Lying about pets and claiming they are service animals is already an issue for places like restaurants and hotels.

if Uber requires all drivers to allow pets, then so be it. But that’s the only way to ensure consistency.

That does happen, usually that’s more how traditional cabs operate, and even then in many places they own the cab and contract to a company for fares.

The vast majority of rideshare drivers in the US use their own vehicle.

First off, FUCK UBER… but I don’t see Uber being at any sort of fault here unless their policy is no animals, which it obviously isn’t because Uber Pet exists. Only possibly by not routing service animal rides through Uber Pet exclusively since those drivers are already expecting animals.

Do we really want to say that in order to participate in rideshare driving at all that you must allow animals in your private vehicle?

Uber drivers use their own vehicles, they are not Uber’s property or responsibility. If an owner doesn’t want animals in their vehicle, they cannot and should not be forced to. A lot of people don’t want animals in their vehicles, trained or not. They may be worried about damage from things like claws to the fabrics, etc. and don’t want to deal with that possibility, whereas the Uber Pet drivers are prepared for that.

And this doesn’t even get into the bastards that lie about their pets and “emotional support” animals being service animals causing problems for those that actually do need the assistance. There’s no penalty for lying about it, and no verification system to filter those out.

It’s not genius, that’s how political dynasties work. It’s why having entire families in politics usually leads to terrible outcomes.

That not everybody can go in. What are they hiding in there?

Data hoarders gonna be working overtime stockpiling evidence.

Encrypted mail is 100% a thing. And it is definitely used by medical personnel to send information securely.

But email is not encrypted by default, and isn’t as simple as checking a box in Yahoo or Gmail to do so.

The same bullshit as telling people to limit their showers to save water during a drought instead of having agriculture switch to crops that need less water. Because the people using 15% of the water are definitely going to make a dent when the other 85% don’t give a shit.

If only they’d just ignored whatever bullshit con artist overpaid corporate consultants insisted that they needed to update their logo, all of this could be avoided. I’m assuming they used consultants here because I can’t imagine anyone inside the company would be that fucking stupid on their own. Their entire business image is being old fashioned, “updating” a fucking plain as fuck boring logo with no personality is the absolute last thing they should have done.

Maybe other companies will take away a lesson that the overpaid brand consultants can be disastrously wrong and they shouldn’t be blindly trusted.

How surprising, giving in to illegal shit from the outset means you still get fucked.

The LLM isn’t limited to just what it does. It can interact with other programs.

There are a ton of audio recognition systems available, almost all of them predate this LLM bubble. There’s already an API for interacting with the ordering system. So it’s just down to having the LLM pull what is then do that corresponding action for the order.

This is so simple it doesn’t require anything nearly as complicated as an LLM. The old phone assistants like Siri and Alexa could do this type of thing. It’s literally the same as telling Alexa to place an order for something, and that’s been an ability for years.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Nothing in this world is black and white, everything is shades of grey.

That’s not unexpected. Variable refresh rate (GSYNC and Freesync) has always needed the display to support it first.

If that part of the 14th doesn’t apply, then logically none of the people in the former Confederate states are US Citizens.

Pretty sure they don’t want that.

It still has to be passed before it can make it’s way through the courts to strike it down. And then it depends on the clearly partisan judges in Texas.
