Thought I'd lend my 2 cents here. I'm a current Berkeley EECS undergrad.
These 8hr a week TA positions are very difficult to get and coveted by many students for (1) relationship to a professor which helps in such a large department and (2) the considerable amount of weekly pay.
Did the EECS department potentially ruin their short term future by not paying full tuition? Maybe.
They also do lean heavily on academic interns (unpaid students who work 1 or 2 hours a week), and I see this group increasing greatly in numbers after this decision is ruled.
Please ask me questions! I'm a past TA myself have a lot of friends who TA.
Although Nomad says that it's rides are 20% cheaper than Uber/Lyft, it doesn't seem like they'll be able to give out rider credits easily. My several $5 monthly credits on Uber/Lyft amount to much more than 20% of my fair (especially with short/medium length rides). I choose what service I used based of price and promos.
We've seen that that startups lose a ton of money trying to get customers, hopefully they can use this coolness factor to their benefits on college campuses.
I understand that they want to give the driver 100% of the fee, but charging them for insurance (or needing to find insurance) seems a little conterintuitive to me. If a driver only did a few Nomad rides in a month (it is the gig/on demand economy after all) they may not even make the amount to pay for their monthly driver/Nomad insurance. To me, this breaks the idea of the Gig economy, "work when you have extra time and get paid."
I think that something that should be mentioned that these coding challenges are the norm for hiring out of college. It doesn't matter (at 90% of companies, from personal applications) that you have a resume/portfolio of cool and interesting project/experience. All companies count on this coding interview to screen you. Some companies give you rather outlandish questions to screen you on the first try. My cool personal projects have never been mentioned by a interviewer.
I wasn't suggesting doing projects in order to talk about them at an interview (though if you can, then great!), but more about selecting challenging projects that give you more of a brain workout. I have found this more effective preparation for interview questions than just running through practice questions.
