Re:Uber, losing billions, freezes engineering hires on Sunday August 11, 2019 @04:54AM (#20667164)
Uber zero hour drivers are footing all the startup investment to provide their end of the service. They paid for the car and are paying for insurance, petrol and upkeep. On top of that Uber is saving on holiday/sick pay, employee contributions...but more importantly they can afford to hire any driver without worrying about firing them, and that could be the deal breaker on zero hours vs full time.
Interesting. Is that where the Origin in uBlock comes from?
