Well done, Denver. A win for drivers and riders.

Co-Op Colorado, the employee-owned app designed to compete with Uber and Lyft on a local level, is now active.
When the cross-institutional Workers’ Algorithm Observatory* examined data from over 13,000 gig drivers in Colorado, only about 14 percent of what customers pay goes to drivers...base pay for drivers decreased from about $1.50 per mile in 2019 to around 50 cents per mile by 2024

I think the thing that gets so under my skin about Trump and what happened in Minneapolis is (from my vantage point) he incited violence, and then gloats about it while blaming Democrats.

Yes there were demonstrations, but then Trump dog whistled and suddenly, caravans of custom built stolen deidentified vehicles from a Mad Max set were here torching everything. Very quickly every gas station, pharmacy, pawn shop were gone. And because just another day in Trump administration…forgotten.

Best visual debate summary. Harris for the win.

New York Times tomorrow, probably:

That fact that Kamal Harris couldn't get Trump to say the N-Word proves that Trump is ready for a second term.

Apple

the iPhone is more fun in Europe now, and it’s not fair.

They’re getting all kinds of stuff because they have cool regulators, not, like, regular regulators. Third-party app stores, the ability for browsers to run their own engines, Fortnite, and now the ability to replace lots of default apps? I want it, too!
