Uber said Tuesday (Dec. 1) that it is testing a new program that will allow drivers in Denver, Colorado to rent cars for a discounted rate to drive on Uber’s platform. The basic idea behind the partnership with Enterprise Rent-A-Car is that while lots of people might want to drive for Uber, not all of them have access to a car that meets the company’s requirements.

Now they’ll be able to rent one from Enterprise for $210 a week. Uber says this program is a big deal because traditionally rental car companies haven’t permitted customers to use their vehicles on Uber-like services. Uber is a bit vague on the details here, but says these restrictions have less to do with insurance requirements (a perpetually sticky subject for ride-hailing apps) than how rental-car companies have historically financed and rented their fleets. That said, it’s not entirely clear who this program makes sense for. While not exorbitant, $210 a week still isn’t cheap. Again, though, that’s before expenses.

Photo by PhotoAlto/Eric Audras/Getty Images J.’s first job out of college was at a media company “that made it very clear they had little money.” She quickly picked up from colleagues that “the only way to get a raise was to come with a competing offer.”

So after a year of feeling underpaid, she began applying for jobs at other companies—intending either to change jobs, or to get an offer she could use as a negotiating tool. L.V. Anderson is a Slate associate editor. If J. —who didn’t want to be identified due to confidentiality agreements she signed with her employer—were to consult management and HR experts, they’d tell her that’s a mistake. Alanna Miller, a senior associate at recruiting agency Chaloner, agrees. On the other hand, when Fanning tried leveraging a job offer himself, the results were hardly disastrous. I suspected that Fanning wasn’t the only person who’d leveraged a job offer without terrible repercussions. But another software company executive has a different approach.

It warms our planet, raises sea levels, and generally wreaks havoc on our environment (why leaders all over the world have gathered in Paris this week to talk about carbon emissions). Now, scientists have discovered a different way that CO2 harms us: if we’re exposed to too much of it indoors—like in an office—it hurts our ability to think, which may ultimately affect both our well-being and our job performance.

Of course, people have known for a while that exceedingly high levels of CO2 are unsafe. For example, if you’re exposed to CO2 at 90,000 parts-per-million (ppm) for five minutes, you’ll die. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration sets an exposure limit way below that level, at 5,000 ppm on CO2 over an eight-hour work shift. The lowest level is pretty close to what you’d breathe outdoors, and represents a very well-ventilated building, whereas 945 ppm is the typical CO2 level found in most offices.

At about 2 a.m. on Feb. 20, 2013, private jet pilot Richard Trammell woke up in Greenwood, S.C., and drove an hour to Thomson, Ga., to prepare for a short flight to Nashville, where his client, a vascular surgeon, was scheduled to see patients. Trammell tried to sleep in Nashville but, as his mobile phone records would show, the longest break between text or calls was an hour and five minutes. “I’m kinda out of the loop,” Trammell told his co-pilot, Jeremy Hayden, as they prepared to land back in Thomson that night. As they were about to land, a warning light went off, signaling the antilock brakes weren’t working on their twin-engine Beechcraft. Trammell and Hayden continued anyway, touching the ground for seven seconds before trying to lift off again.

But Trammell failed to retract wing panels designed to slow the plane to a stop, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. Unable to climb, the Beechcraft lumbered forward, hit a power pole, and burst into flames. Help! I'm accidentally stealing people's identities and I don't know how to stop | Technology. For the past five years, I’ve been engaged in a very strange relationship, with an unknown number of people all around the world, which opens up the most intimate details of their personal lives to me.

I’ve also deleted a child’s reading history, and nicked someone’s music streaming account. But I’m the victim, here: I’ve fallen prey to reverseidentity theft. My first name is fairly common worldwide. It exists in different forms depending on your gender and location, from Alexis to Alejandro, but almost always gets shortened to Alex. My surname is much less common, particularly spelled without superfluous “a”s or “e”s. But what is hugely common is the Hispanic surname Hernandez, which gets shortened to Hern if you’re trying to lop a few characters off the email address. That means that my email address, alexhern@[major webmail provider], often gets the wayward missives intended for Herns and Hernandezes across the world. As a result, in the past few years, I have been sent: I feel bad. Wetsuits for Swimming for kids - For Greater Comfort and Protection.

Decoding the Enigma of Satoshi Nakamoto and the Birth of Bitcoin. Photo It is one of the great mysteries of the digital age. The hunt for Satoshi Nakamoto, the elusive creator of Bitcoin, has captivated even those who think the virtual currency is some sort of online Ponzi scheme. A legend has emerged from a jumble of facts: Someone using the name Satoshi Nakamoto released the software for Bitcoin in early 2009 and communicated with the nascent currency’s users via email — but never by phone or in person. Then, in 2011, just as the technology began to attract wider attention, the emails stopped. Suddenly, Satoshi was gone, but the stories grew larger.

Over the last year, as I worked on a book about the history of Bitcoin, it was hard to avoid being drawn in by the almost mystical riddle of Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity. Just as I began my research, Newsweek made a splash with a cover article in March 2014 claiming that Satoshi was an unemployed engineer in his 60s who lived in suburban Los Angeles.

While Bruce Jenner often looked like the pushover of the Kardashian clan, in reality, he told Diane Sawyer last month, “I had the story.” Over four hundred and twenty-five episodes of reality TV, “the one thing that could really make a difference in people’s lives was right here, in my soul,” Jenner said. “And I could not tell that story.” Until he did.

In a moment that Time magazine has dubbed the “transgender tipping point,” the Jenner interview is only the most recent and high-profile example of the media’s growing fascination with the stories of transgender people. Behind the scenes for the Jenner interview, the show Transparent, and the Time magazine article is Susan Stryker, a professor of gender and women’s studies at the University of Arizona, and the author of several books on transgender history, who has been giving interviews about trans issues for twenty years. There has been a remarkable surge in media interest when it comes to trans people and their stories. How so? Sierra trading post 40% off coupon codes for lovely deals. Tess Holliday Is The Biggest Thing To Happen To Modeling - BuzzFeed News. Google’s self-driving car is hitting public roads this summer | The Verge.

Google's own self-driving car is almost ready to be tested on public roads. In a blog post, project director Chris Urmson says that a few of the prototype vehicles will drive around Mountain View, California, where the company is based. Safety drivers will accompany the cars, which will be capped at 25mph. Unlike Google's ultimate vision for the vehicles, these cars will come with a removable steering wheel, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal. The prototypes will be running the same software as used by Google's self-driving Lexus RX450h fleet, which formed the basis of the company's research before it announced an entirely original car.

"We're looking forward to learning how the community perceives and interacts with the vehicles," says Urmson, "and to uncovering challenges that are unique to a fully self-driving vehicle — e.g. where it should stop if it can't stop at its exact destination due to construction or congestion.

How McDonald’s Got Its Golden Arches. News that fast food giant McDonald’s will pursue a contentious makeover to try to remain relevant in 2015 has some experts wondering “if the gleam of its golden arches [is] fading.” But how did the pop culture icon get those arches, anyway? Roadside architecture is at the root of the symbolic arches, writes Alan Hess. In an era before television, he writes, companies like McDonald’s had a dual challenge when it came to designing stores: they had to create buildings that were both functional and capable of serving as advertisements to America’s skyrocketing number of motorists.

The McDonald brothers had already invented a canny method for making their drive-through restaurant more efficient, writes Hess. By 1952, they wanted to abandon their renovated BBQ stand in favor of something bigger, better, and more iconic. So they hired Stanley Clark Mason, a Los Angeles architect with background as a set designer. Then, it was time for the exterior. Photo credit: iStock Photo By: Alan Hess.
