Uber drivers are workers, UK supreme court rules

I don't understand what we are supposed to see in that photo - apart from a fat guy in shades with two other dudes.

Tamas believes that fat dudes in shades are clearly morally dubious and assumes we share that opinion.

Yeah, I mean it is very likely that is a photo of a terribly corrupt person but nothing in that photo shows that.

Expression, demeanor, bearing, body language, etc.

Body language? We can see his lips and double chin.

You win.  It's Santa and two elves in shades.

I don't think still photographs reveal much about a person's character. The presumption that they do makes for ok gags though.

In this day and age of everybody carrying a camera at all times there would also be photos of Mussolini laughing or eating or picking a wedgie.

[Valmy]

Well Tamas is from there he can probably explain the context of what we were supposed to see in those photos.

I think that goes too far the other way.  Clearly you can't read a person like a book from the photo, but people often consciously or subconsciously act to look the part.  I don't think there are too many literature professors that look like those three dudes.

He looks like some fat mafia Don.

[Admiral Yi]

He wouldn't look out of place in a Guy Ritchie movie.

Uber concealed a massive global breach of the personal information of 57 million customers and drivers in October 2016, failing to notify the individuals and regulators, the company acknowledged on Tuesday.

Uber also confirmed it had paid the hackers responsible $100,000 to delete the data and keep the breach quiet, which was first reported by Bloomberg.

"None of this should have happened, and I will not make excuses for it," Uber chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi said in a statement acknowledging the breach and cover-up. "While I can't erase the past, I can commit on behalf of every Uber employee that we will learn from our mistakes."

I have bumped into the picture that I wanted to post here earlier, so I do it now.

The leader of taxi drivers' union/organisation, when he held a press conference during their anti-Uber protests (which did win and the government chased Uber out):



Bunch of defenders of the downtrodden, clearly 

Well...yeah?
Poor people in general tend to be the ones hit by obesity these days.
Taxi drivers as a rule tend to stay sat on their arse all day.
They really do look like typical taxi drivers.

Stockholm deregulated (well it's still regulated in some ways of course but no more than other businesses) its taxis in 1990 (I think), and the result was immense improvement.
