Last-minute California ruling means Uber and Lyft won't shut down today:

A California judge has granted Uber and Lyft an emergency reprieve from an order requiring them to treat their drivers as employees. The companies were facing a Thursday deadline to comply with the order. Earlier today, Lyft announced that it would be forced to shut down in the state at midnight tonight.

[...] Uber had warned that it was likely to do the same if the courts didn't delay enforcement of the law.

[...] The judge's emergency stay means that Lyft and Uber will be able to keep operating under their current model while they continue litigating whether the new law applies to them.

    I was joking - it probably didn't come across.

    You're quite right that it didn't come across - I've met too many people who actually think that way.
