A San Francisco housing complex is subsidizing Uber rides
While some communities aren't so sure about ridesharing, an upscale development is actually paying residents to use it. Parcmerced, a planned apartment complex in the southwest corner of San Francisco, has partnered with Uber to encourage residents to ditch their cars. The townhouse and apartment complex offers a $100 transit subsidy toward bus and train services, but residents must spend at least $30 of that on Uber rides. The remaining $70 (or less) can be used on a Clipper card, which gives users access to the BART and Muni light rail services.
Second Life stipends stalled
Weekly stipends paid to Second Life premium account holders (on Tuesday mornings) did not go out as planned this week. Again, yes. Apparently the batch-job that Linden Lab uses to process the payments (which takes some several hours) stopped (or failed to run) and nobody noticed until relatively late Tuesday. Well, nobody at Linden Lab, anyway. Linden Lab says that the payments process is running again and that stipends should be paid out by morning. Overall, this isn't shaping up to be a great week in Second Life, from a technical standpoint.
