Cybercabs are two-seater vehicles
Just two seats why? Has this so-called genius ever taken a cab with friends ever?
I don't like how every news story about the layoffs uncritically parrots the company excuse about the strike, as if decades of regulatory capture, short-term business strategy, and poor engineering and supply chain decisions by successive waves of over-paid executives didn't sink the company.
MADRID, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Operators of rental e-scooters will have until Oct. 25 to remove all their mobility devices from the streets of Madrid, the mayor's office said on Tuesday, following an outcry against reckless driving and chaotic parking by their users.
After withdrawing their licences last month, the mayor's office said the three foreign operators - Lime, Dott and Tier Mobility - had failed to implement limits on their clients' circulation or control their parking to regain the licences. Amsterdam-based Dott, Germany's Tier Mobility and U.S.-based Lime, whose scooters are available via the Uber have around 2,000 e-scooters each throughout Madrid.

Miranda’s two sons and Halfkenny’s son, neither of whom were Boston Public School students
This alone is kinda messed up. It's easier to functionally steal from other students when your kids don't even go to that school system.
Not a surprise, but still somehow crushing. It's a loss for us all.
Phil Williams, the investigative reporter in this article, is an absolute treasure in Tennessee. This dude has broken open more corruption, fraud, conspiracies, government waste, etc. in his career than I can even list. As an elected official or business owner, the sight of Phil Williams with his microphone and camera crew is the thing you fear the most, but he's very measured and patient.

While we're over-hauling doping punishments, we have to confront the deeply broken doping testing system and widespread contaminations of many foods and medications. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and its country-level entities (UKADA, USADA, etc.) don't like to talk about how laughably bad their systems are, and how often the pop false positives. It wasn't as well known until cyclist Lizzy Banks challenged a false positive last year and spent €40,000 in legal fees and testing fees to get a "no fault or negligence" ruling. And that wouldn't have been possible at all if Banks didn't have a medical background (she went pro just before finishing a medical degree) and was able to read the faulty reports herself and challenge the claims of UKADA. Thanks to her, we now know that WAY more common foods and over-the-counter medications have contaminations with banned substances, which produces positive results with trace-amounts of banned substances.
I'm all for cracking down on dopers and cheaters, so long as we fix the system so it doesn't create false-positives.
For starters, it can not arrest the bartender that punched a nazi after that nazi started a fight.
My dude didn't deserve to be arrested, he deserved to drink for free throughout Lower Broadway!
I had one of these plans for over a decade. It was fun while it lasted—I won't be staying with the company after this.

I really wish there was a better alternative to push my friends to. I do use Bandcamp, so at least I know more of my $$$ are going to the artists and I can take the music with me, but I'm not sure about the platform long-term.
Non-paywalled article here:
Officers arrested one of the bar's owners because he refused to show them ID? The officers just crashed into his bar in the middle of the night, he gets out of bed to see what that loud noise was, and they arrest him because he won't show them ID? In Missouri police can only ask to see ID if there is a reasonable suspicion of some wrongdoing, and I can't see that a building owner is doing anything wrong when he checks on the probationary cops that just plowed into his building because they suck at driving or were driving too fast.
That price is so low, it might as well just be the customer list.
Edit: For the record, Juiced made some decent bikes. The HyperScorpion is a fun little moped, and I would have liked to have seen a refined version that improved on the battery design (they were really hard to put back in if you removed them for charging) and came with better stock tires.
