In other words, what do people mean when they ask: “Why can’t we vote online?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason people want internet voting is because they want the convenience to vote at home or vote on their smartphone,” Dill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/286035246\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I have to agree. I want to vote online like I do everything else online. I want to vote anywhere, anytime and on any device.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that’s the case, Dill said the answer is simple: We can’t vote online because our personal devices are too easy to hack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriousbug]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we had online elections, we would never be able to trust the results of those elections,” Dill said. “These systems are just notoriously insecure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you follow the news, you know that our \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/17/your-smartphone-could-be-hacked-without-your-knowledge.html\">smartphones \u003c/a>and personal computers are constantly getting hacked. While antivirus companies try, no software can stop all viruses. In fact, you might have a virus on your computer right now and not realize it, Dill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now you can imagine the impact on trying to cast a ballot on such a machine,” Dill said. “The technology does not exist for secure online voting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But aren't there places that have voted online?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, but Dill says they’ve \u003cem>all\u003c/em> been hacked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, in 2010, the District of Columbia piloted an internet voting system that was created to allow absentee or overseas voters to cast their ballots online. During the pilot, folks were invited to try and hack the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SGlH1goPA4&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the University of Michigan, Professor \u003ca href=\"https://jhalderm.com/\">J. Alex Halderman\u003c/a> and his students took up the challenge. It took them about 36 hours to change votes. The white hat hackers changed votes and wrote in the names of evil robots and characters from sci-fi movies. The kicker? When people were finished voting, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF--ldYIBnM\">Michigan fight song\u003c/a> came on. As it turns out, D.C. officials hadn’t noticed until a voter called to tell them about the song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dill is an unlikely soldier in the war against internet voting. He became interested in electronic voting in 2000 during the Florida recount of the Bush versus Gore election. With the failures of punch-card voting exposed, many counties were turning to electronic touch-screen voting machines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dill says he thought it was a good idea but kept hearing conspiracy theories that you can’t audit electronic votes. Dill labeled the notion a “conspiracy” because he was sure it was wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"JyY16juSkUGL3d8mjVPhcsMaYinNCpAW\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being a computer scientist, I thought there must be a way to solve this problem,” Dill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it turned out, there wasn’t a conspiracy. It was true. And here Dill encountered one of the biggest technical hurdles that need to be cleared before we can vote online in the United States. One of the central tenets of our voting system is the \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/topic/Australian-ballot\">secret ballot\u003c/a>. Right now, the technology doesn’t exist to track the integrity of anonymous ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Voting is a uniquely hard problem,” Dill said. “First of all, what do we want from elections? We really want to trust the result.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That trust means if there’s a dispute, there’s evidence to settle it. And that’s where Dill has come full circle. While he thinks the punch-card voting system used in Florida is defective, Dill thinks the best technology for voting in the United States is paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Paper as a technology has attributes that we can’t really reproduce electronically,” Dill said. “If paper ballots are altered, that’s relatively easy to detect. There’s a physical object and you can track the trail of custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another benefit of paper? People understand how it works. If you see a poll worker disappearing with a box of votes, you know to be suspicious. Paper offers a level of transparency that electronic voting can’t. And Dill said, that trust in paper has been the underpinning of our electoral democracy.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nGot a question you want to see the Bay Curious team take on? \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/baycurious/\" target=\"_blank\">Submit it!\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

While antivirus companies try, no software can stop all viruses. In fact, you might have a virus on your computer right now and not realize it, Dill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now you can imagine the impact on trying to cast a ballot on such a machine,” Dill said. “The technology does not exist for secure online voting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But aren't there places that have voted online?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, but Dill says they’ve \u003cem>all\u003c/em> been hacked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, in 2010, the District of Columbia piloted an internet voting system that was created to allow absentee or overseas voters to cast their ballots online. During the pilot, folks were invited to try and hack the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/-SGlH1goPA4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/-SGlH1goPA4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the University of Michigan, Professor \u003ca href=\"https://jhalderm.com/\">J. Alex Halderman\u003c/a> and his students took up the challenge. It took them about 36 hours to change votes. The white hat hackers changed votes and wrote in the names of evil robots and characters from sci-fi movies. The kicker? When people were finished voting, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EF--ldYIBnM\">Michigan fight song\u003c/a> came on. As it turns out, D.C. officials hadn’t noticed until a voter called to tell them about the song.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dill is an unlikely soldier in the war against internet voting. He became interested in electronic voting in 2000 during the Florida recount of the Bush versus Gore election. With the failures of punch-card voting exposed, many counties were turning to electronic touch-screen voting machines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dill says he thought it was a good idea but kept hearing conspiracy theories that you can’t audit electronic votes. Dill labeled the notion a “conspiracy” because he was sure it was wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being a computer scientist, I thought there must be a way to solve this problem,” Dill said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As it turned out, there wasn’t a conspiracy. It was true. And here Dill encountered one of the biggest technical hurdles that need to be cleared before we can vote online in the United States. One of the central tenets of our voting system is the \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/topic/Australian-ballot\">secret ballot\u003c/a>. Right now, the technology doesn’t exist to track the integrity of anonymous ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Voting is a uniquely hard problem,” Dill said. “First of all, what do we want from elections? We really want to trust the result.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That trust means if there’s a dispute, there’s evidence to settle it. And that’s where Dill has come full circle. While he thinks the punch-card voting system used in Florida is defective, Dill thinks the best technology for voting in the United States is paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Paper as a technology has attributes that we can’t really reproduce electronically,” Dill said. “If paper ballots are altered, that’s relatively easy to detect. There’s a physical object and you can track the trail of custody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another benefit of paper? People understand how it works. If you see a poll worker disappearing with a box of votes, you know to be suspicious. Paper offers a level of transparency that electronic voting can’t. And Dill said, that trust in paper has been the underpinning of our electoral democracy.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nGot a question you want to see the Bay Curious team take on? \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/series/baycurious/\" target=\"_blank\">Submit it!\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And the appearance of the remote control meant we no longer even had to get up to change the channel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even our thumb muscles have been given the day off since digital assistants like Siri gained the ability to write our text messages, he noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All these things, combined with an automobile-driven, fast food culture, said Downs, have contributed to a national \u003ca href=\"http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/statistics/\">diabetes epidemic\u003c/a> and a stunning rise in \u003ca href=\"http://stateofobesity.org/obesity-rates-trends-overview/\" target=\"_blank\">obesity rates\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>We Need Stuff Like This \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how to remedy the roots of the unhealthy environments we've created?

One of the lab's initiatives: designing ways to feed people healthier diets through \u003ca href=\"http://web.mit.edu/jiw/www/MITCityFarm/\" target=\"_blank\">urban farms\u003c/a> that make use of city spaces.

Ellen Kaster, 24, is one of its trained volunteers. On a recent evening in San Francisco, she and her supervisor -- a social worker -- hunched over their laptops, answering texts from around the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"GcPkglXzvs6iXtVNQDC95peszX7pQA98\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now I have a texter who has been struggling with drug addiction and has gone through phases of being clean and relapsing,\" Kaster explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The young man tells her he's cutting himself with a knife and is feeling suicidal. This is a \"code orange,\" which means Kaster's supervisor will monitor the conversation, and they'll call the police if the suicide threats intensify. Fortunately, the texter agrees to put the knife in a drawer, and he calms down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the text conversations last about an hour, Kaster says, which may seem strange to older generations. But it's pretty normal for young people to communicate this way, she says, especially when they're emotional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It can feel very vulnerable ... to actually dial a real phone and talk to somebody,\" Kaster says. \"There's something very impersonal about text that's very natural.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'These Could Be Our Children'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the Golden Gate Bridge dispatch center, Bridge Patrol Capt. Lisa Locati thumbs through a binder full of photos of young people, reading off their ages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sixteen, 22, 25 ... the ages here are just startling,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the Bridge Patrol's \"Be on the Lookout\" book. It's filled with printouts of Facebook pages. When concerned friends and family call because they fear a loved one has headed to the bridge to commit suicide, Locati's team, along with the California Highway Patrol, tries to find them before it's too late. The Facebook photos help them pick out faces on the crowded sidewalk, and they provide personal details that can help with a rescue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want so much to make the connection and convince this person that dying is not the answer,\" Locati says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What really bothers Locati is how many are just kids, with little perspective on life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They got a bad grade in class. They broke up with a boyfriend or girlfriend. There's a lot of bullying going on in the age group, and that can be devastating to some,\" she says. \"It's very exhausting. These could be our children.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden Gate Bridge District has recorded more than 120 successful suicide interventions so far this year. But Locati says she could definitely use more staff -- there can be thousands of people on the bridge at one time, and she currently oversees 31 people. In the meantime, she hopes the text line will help them make even more interventions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When Crisis Text Line approached us, they had already had -- without any advertising -- texting conversations with people that have mentioned coming to the bridge to commit suicide,\" Locati says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Before we formed the partnership, we already had 94 conversations in which people have mentioned the Golden Gate Bridge,\" confirms Libby Craig, Bay Area director of Crisis Text Line. \"And we do have stories of people who were at the ledge and were back in their homes by the end of a conversation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the Gamboas' home, Kymberlyrenee says she doesn't know whether her son, Kyle, would have texted the hotline had the signs been posted the day he jumped. But he was on his phone that morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His last contact was on Facebook, and he texted,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hopes if Kyle's friends will text a phone he hasn't answered in three years, maybe kids on the bridge will text for help -- and someone will answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor's Note: If you or someone you know is at risk for suicide, please seek help.\u003cbr>\nFor the Crisis Text Line in the Bay Area: Text BAY to 741741\u003cbr>\nFor the Crisis Text Line Nationwide: Text HELLO to 741741\u003cbr>\nFor the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Call 1-800-273-8233\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

On a recent evening in San Francisco, she and her supervisor -- a social worker -- hunched over their laptops, answering texts from around the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Right now I have a texter who has been struggling with drug addiction and has gone through phases of being clean and relapsing,\" Kaster explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The young man tells her he's cutting himself with a knife and is feeling suicidal. This is a \"code orange,\" which means Kaster's supervisor will monitor the conversation, and they'll call the police if the suicide threats intensify. Fortunately, the texter agrees to put the knife in a drawer, and he calms down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the text conversations last about an hour, Kaster says, which may seem strange to older generations. But it's pretty normal for young people to communicate this way, she says, especially when they're emotional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It can feel very vulnerable ... to actually dial a real phone and talk to somebody,\" Kaster says. \"There's something very impersonal about text that's very natural.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'These Could Be Our Children'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the Golden Gate Bridge dispatch center, Bridge Patrol Capt. Lisa Locati thumbs through a binder full of photos of young people, reading off their ages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sixteen, 22, 25 ... the ages here are just startling,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the Bridge Patrol's \"Be on the Lookout\" book. It's filled with printouts of Facebook pages. When concerned friends and family call because they fear a loved one has headed to the bridge to commit suicide, Locati's team, along with the California Highway Patrol, tries to find them before it's too late. The Facebook photos help them pick out faces on the crowded sidewalk, and they provide personal details that can help with a rescue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want so much to make the connection and convince this person that dying is not the answer,\" Locati says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What really bothers Locati is how many are just kids, with little perspective on life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They got a bad grade in class. They broke up with a boyfriend or girlfriend. There's a lot of bullying going on in the age group, and that can be devastating to some,\" she says. \"It's very exhausting. These could be our children.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Golden Gate Bridge District has recorded more than 120 successful suicide interventions so far this year. But Locati says she could definitely use more staff -- there can be thousands of people on the bridge at one time, and she currently oversees 31 people. In the meantime, she hopes the text line will help them make even more interventions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When Crisis Text Line approached us, they had already had -- without any advertising -- texting conversations with people that have mentioned coming to the bridge to commit suicide,\" Locati says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Before we formed the partnership, we already had 94 conversations in which people have mentioned the Golden Gate Bridge,\" confirms Libby Craig, Bay Area director of Crisis Text Line. \"And we do have stories of people who were at the ledge and were back in their homes by the end of a conversation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back at the Gamboas' home, Kymberlyrenee says she doesn't know whether her son, Kyle, would have texted the hotline had the signs been posted the day he jumped. But he was on his phone that morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His last contact was on Facebook, and he texted,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She hopes if Kyle's friends will text a phone he hasn't answered in three years, maybe kids on the bridge will text for help -- and someone will answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The privately held company makes powerful data analytics software used by U.S. military, intelligence and law enforcement agencies, along with banks, insurance companies and other non-government clients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unusual lawsuit — which comes as Silicon Valley is grappling with broader criticism for a lack of diversity — claims Palantir “routinely eliminated” Asian job candidates during the resume-screening and telephone-interview stages of the company’s hiring process. The claims are based on a statistical analysis conducted by federal officials responsible for making sure government contractors comply with anti-discrimination rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palantir denied the allegations Monday and said it will contest the suit. It argued in a statement that the government’s case “relies on a narrow and flawed statistical analysis relating to three job descriptions from 2010 to 2011.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman didn’t respond to questions about the ethnic makeup of Palantir’s workforce. But the statement added: “The results of our hiring practices speak for themselves.” Palantir is a Palo Alto-based company that employs more than 1,800 people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal lawsuit comes as leading Silicon Valley tech companies are struggling to answer criticism about a lack of diversity in staffing. One legal expert said the federal lawsuit may reflect a broader aim by the government “to shed more light and get more accountability” from the tech industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the new economy, but we still want to make sure there aren’t new forms of discrimination in these industries,” said Orly Lobel, a University of San Diego law professor who’s studied Silicon Valley hiring patterns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another leading tech company recently agreed to pay $750,000 in back wages to settle discrimination claims brought by the Labor Department, without admitting wrongdoing. Those charges involved African-Americans, Asians and Hispanics who sought inside sales jobs at an Arkansas data processing facility operated by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the government announced last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are confident in our hiring processes and we will continue to promote and build a diverse and inclusive workforce,” HPE said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, Apple, Google, Facebook and other prominent Silicon Valley corporations have acknowledged they employ disproportionately low numbers of women, African-Americans and Latinos, compared with the general population. Hiring figures released by those larger companies generally show that employees of South and East Asian descent are better represented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal lawsuit against Palantir, however, focuses on Asian job candidates because they applied in relatively large numbers. Rose Darling, a senior trial attorney for the Labor Department, said the government’s analysis showed a disproportionate number of Asian applicants were rejected for positions at the company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, the suit alleges that Asians made up 77 percent of a pool of more than 730 qualified applicants for the job of quality assurance engineer at Palantir. The company hired one Asian and six non-Asians, according to the Labor Department’s compliance office, which calculated the statistical likelihood of that result is one in 741.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For another position, described as an engineering intern, the lawsuit said there’s a “one in a billion” chance that Palantir’s hiring pattern occurred by chance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the analysis involved hiring statistics for 2010 and 2011, Darling said the company hasn’t shown evidence that it has changed its practices since then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Appellate courts have allowed the use of statistical analyses in discrimination claims because it’s rare to find more explicit evidence, like a memo that says “Don’t hire” from a certain group, Lobel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You used to have ‘smoking guns,’ but that’s more rare these days,” she said. “So the courts are recognizing that you can prove discrimination by showing that the odds that this would be the result, without discrimination, are just so low.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit is the first of its kind brought against a Silicon Valley company in recent years, Darling said. She declined to say if other investigations are pending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The suit was filed with the Labor Department’s Office of Administrative Law Judges, which is a quasi-judicial system within the department.

If Apple opened a fast-food place, I imagine it would look sort of like eatsa. The space is bright and the decor is sparse in that trendy modern way.

The process is pretty simple and intuitive if you know your way around an iPad. When our food is ready, it appears in one of the cubbyholes lining a wall of the restaurant. Each cubby has a translucent blue cover, and when your name appears on it, that means your order is up. Our food pops up in cubbyhole No. 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are about 15 to 20 customers in here the day I visit, mostly young tech workers from the neighborhood. I see just one eatsa employee in the restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have this gut sense from having been in the valley for a while now that there will be a coming wave of automation that will get rid of a lot of jobs,” Chellam says, back at his office in downtown San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear whether technology will eventually reduce the total number of jobs in the country. While technological advances make some jobs obsolete, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/aug/17/technology-created-more-jobs-than-destroyed-140-years-data-census\">past \u003c/a>has shown that tech has also created new opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFQw3zmTBWY&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advancements in artificial intelligence are intensifying this debate.

The process is pretty simple and intuitive if you know your way around an iPad. When our food is ready, it appears in one of the cubbyholes lining a wall of the restaurant. Each cubby has a translucent blue cover, and when your name appears on it, that means your order is up. Our food pops up in cubbyhole No. 3.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are about 15 to 20 customers in here the day I visit, mostly young tech workers from the neighborhood.

"content": "\u003cp>Yahoo said hackers stole personal information from 500 million of its user accounts, a massive security breakdown it attributed to a “state-sponsored actor.” The breach disclosed Thursday, marking the latest setback for the beleaguered internet company, dates back to late 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s when high-tech thieves hacked into Yahoo’s data centers, the company said. But Yahoo only recently discovered the break-in as part of an ongoing internal investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stolen data include users’ names, email addresses, telephone numbers, birthdates, hashed passwords and the security questions — and answers — used to verify an account holder’s identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, the tech site Motherboard reported that a hacker who uses the name “Peace” boasted that he had account information belonging to 200 million Yahoo users and was trying to sell the data on the web.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yahoo \u003ca href=\"https://help.yahoo.com/kb/account/SLN27925.html?impressions=true\">recommends\u003c/a> that users change their passwords if they haven’t done so since 2014. The Sunnyvale company said its investigation so far hasn’t found any evidence that information about users’ bank accounts or credit and debit cards was swiped in the hacking attack. It said it has “no evidence” that the attacker is still in Yahoo’s network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News of the security lapse could cause some people to have second thoughts about relying on Yahoo’s services, raising a prickly issue for the company as it tries to sell its digital operations to Verizon Communications for $4.8 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That deal, announced two months ago, isn’t supposed to close until early next year. That leaves Verizon with wiggle room to renegotiate the purchase price or even back out if it believes the security breach will harm Yahoo’s business. That could happen if users shun Yahoo or file lawsuits because they’re incensed by the theft of their personal information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Verizon said it still doesn’t know enough about the Yahoo break-in to assess the potential consequences. “We will evaluate as the investigation continues through the lens of overall Verizon interests, including consumers, customers, shareholders and related communities,” the company said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\n",

You can see why someone might feel better hiring a regular employee rather than a freelancer to take care of an elder loved one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other companies moving from contractors to employees offer much more standard app-based gig work like on-demand food delivery or help shipping a package. For them, hiring employees boils down to economics. In the long run, these companies believe it will be cheaper to hire workers rather than rely on contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve got two audio pieces about the shift some gig companies are making. The first is a story about a company called Trusted, which offers on-demand child care and decided to hire all of its employees from the start. To follow up, we spoke with the CEO of Shyp, an on-demand delivery company that used to have the gig worker model but has now hired its employees. First, the story of Trusted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Economic Argument\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nugget of the Trusted story is that the decision to hire workers is an economic one. The CEO of Trusted, Anand Iyer, calculated he would actually save money by hiring employees instead of getting gig workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the logic. In the short term, employees cost a business more. Companies have to pay higher taxes and offer benefits like workers’ compensation. But Iyer says employees tend to stick around longer and fewer quit. There is less “churn,” or worker turnover, which means less money spent on finding and training contractors to replace the ones who stop working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iyer ran the numbers and found that employees would save him money in the long run. “The math,” Iyer says, “totally checks out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The math totally checks out.’ \u003ccite>Anand Iyer, CEO of Trusted\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Gig companies are realizing that employees can save them money. Other new businesses one might assume would go the gig-worker route have come to the same conclusion. There’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/28/magazine/managed-by-qs-good-jobs-gamble.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this story about Q\u003c/a>, the office cleaning and management company. And \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/10/technology/a-start-up-shies-away-from-the-gig-economy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here’s a piece\u003c/a> about a real estate company called Redfin that hires its agents in an industry where they are usually independent and earn commissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Employee Vs. Contractor\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some gig workers are railing against how little they are paid and the way they are treated by their companies. Lawsuits have\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/13/uber-lawsuits-619-million-ride-hailing-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> piled up\u003c/a> against companies like Uber, TaskRabbit and others. One of the main issues is that workers believe they are being misclassified as independent contractors when they’re really employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an important distinction. As employees, workers have access to more benefits like workers’ comp and potentially a company health care plan. They also pay less in taxes. Independent contractors face higher tax rates. They can lower how much they pay by working some deduction magic come tax time, but that itself takes time and work. For gig workers, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/04/15/uber-lyft-gig-workers-face-tax-problems/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it can be especially complex\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palak Shah is from the National Domestic Workers Alliance and oversees the \u003ca href=\"http://www.goodworkcode.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Good Work Code\u003c/a>. It’s a set of guidelines for treating workers well in the digital age. Shah says employment is generally a better deal for workers than gigs are, but she says handing out W-2s does not automatically fix the generally precarious position of workers in the gig economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The W-2 status can serve as a really important floor,” Shah says, “but there’s a lot of other dimensions like safety and shared prosperity and whether the voices of workers are heard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shah says workers in the gig economy often aren’t getting a big share of the prosperity, have limited voice and suffer a large amount of instability. The rules can change overnight for gig workers, and they can start taking home less income or have less flexibility. See \u003ca href=\"http://ssl.marketplace.org/2016/05/10/world/instacart-workers-feel-sting-pay-restructure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this story about Instacart\u003c/a> workers for details. The unpredictability for gig workers is the flip side of doing a job for companies where you can work just by switching on an app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Switching Gears\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Trusted is no Uber. It’s infinitesimal by comparison. It has a little seed money and is just getting started in the Bay Area. It remains unclear if its model will make it successful or allow the kind of growth that has made other gig companies so attractive to investors. But at the same time, some of those gig companies that drew investment have now ditched the gig model altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shyp and Sprig are two examples of companies that began with an “Uber for X” gig workforce model and now hire their workers. Shyp is an on-demand parcel shipping service and Sprig does food delivery. We talked with Shyp’s CEO, Kevin Gibbon, about why the company made the shift to employees and what that has meant for his business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon ends the interview by bringing up another economic worry with the contractor model: lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon says investors are starting to question whether a new venture can handle the kind of employment lawsuits Uber is battling. Does the new company have the funds to be sued over something like misclassifying workers?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gig companies have to make the argument that the short-term economic return of a flexible, contingent workforce is worth the cost of lawsuits, churn and looming uncertainty over the legality of the gig labor model. Gibbon thinks that is a harder sell to investors than it used to be a few years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon says the employee model works for Shyp in part because it allows for better customer service. Workers can be trained to give clients what they want. Even with something as simple as shipping a package, this is vital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, Gibbon has this advice for new companies offering on-demand services: Consider actually hiring your workers. It will cost more in the short term, but it could end up saving you a bunch of money in the long run.\u003c/p>\n\n",

There is less “churn,” or worker turnover, which means less money spent on finding and training contractors to replace the ones who stop working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iyer ran the numbers and found that employees would save him money in the long run. “The math,” Iyer says, “totally checks out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The math totally checks out.’ \u003ccite>Anand Iyer, CEO of Trusted\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Gig companies are realizing that employees can save them money. Other new businesses one might assume would go the gig-worker route have come to the same conclusion. There’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/28/magazine/managed-by-qs-good-jobs-gamble.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this story about Q\u003c/a>, the office cleaning and management company. And \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/10/technology/a-start-up-shies-away-from-the-gig-economy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here’s a piece\u003c/a> about a real estate company called Redfin that hires its agents in an industry where they are usually independent and earn commissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Employee Vs. Contractor\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some gig workers are railing against how little they are paid and the way they are treated by their companies. Lawsuits have\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/apr/13/uber-lawsuits-619-million-ride-hailing-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> piled up\u003c/a> against companies like Uber, TaskRabbit and others. One of the main issues is that workers believe they are being misclassified as independent contractors when they’re really employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an important distinction. As employees, workers have access to more benefits like workers’ comp and potentially a company health care plan. They also pay less in taxes. Independent contractors face higher tax rates. They can lower how much they pay by working some deduction magic come tax time, but that itself takes time and work. For gig workers, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/04/15/uber-lyft-gig-workers-face-tax-problems/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">it can be especially complex\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palak Shah is from the National Domestic Workers Alliance and oversees the \u003ca href=\"http://www.goodworkcode.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Good Work Code\u003c/a>. It’s a set of guidelines for treating workers well in the digital age. Shah says employment is generally a better deal for workers than gigs are, but she says handing out W-2s does not automatically fix the generally precarious position of workers in the gig economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The W-2 status can serve as a really important floor,” Shah says, “but there’s a lot of other dimensions like safety and shared prosperity and whether the voices of workers are heard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shah says workers in the gig economy often aren’t getting a big share of the prosperity, have limited voice and suffer a large amount of instability. The rules can change overnight for gig workers, and they can start taking home less income or have less flexibility. See \u003ca href=\"http://ssl.marketplace.org/2016/05/10/world/instacart-workers-feel-sting-pay-restructure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this story about Instacart\u003c/a> workers for details. The unpredictability for gig workers is the flip side of doing a job for companies where you can work just by switching on an app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Switching Gears\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Trusted is no Uber. It’s infinitesimal by comparison. It has a little seed money and is just getting started in the Bay Area. It remains unclear if its model will make it successful or allow the kind of growth that has made other gig companies so attractive to investors. But at the same time, some of those gig companies that drew investment have now ditched the gig model altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shyp and Sprig are two examples of companies that began with an “Uber for X” gig workforce model and now hire their workers. Shyp is an on-demand parcel shipping service and Sprig does food delivery. We talked with Shyp’s CEO, Kevin Gibbon, about why the company made the shift to employees and what that has meant for his business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon ends the interview by bringing up another economic worry with the contractor model: lawsuits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon says investors are starting to question whether a new venture can handle the kind of employment lawsuits Uber is battling. Does the new company have the funds to be sued over something like misclassifying workers?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gig companies have to make the argument that the short-term economic return of a flexible, contingent workforce is worth the cost of lawsuits, churn and looming uncertainty over the legality of the gig labor model. Gibbon thinks that is a harder sell to investors than it used to be a few years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gibbon says the employee model works for Shyp in part because it allows for better customer service. Workers can be trained to give clients what they want. Even with something as simple as shipping a package, this is vital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
