Controlling space, controlling labour? Contested space in food delivery gig work
نویسندگان
چکیده
The article investigates the control of platform labour process by means digital production space and how workers resist it. segment German platform-mediated food delivery is examined via qualitative interviews auto-ethnography. It shown platforms create different spaces to efficiently coordinate mobile gig work. Steered geolocalisation geofencing, couriers operate autonomously in spatial corridors defined platforms. agency riders thus limited, but they are occasionally able undermine platforms’ reinterpret shows that a central contested instrument for controlling labour.

Controlling State-Space Explosion in Chunk Learning
Varying combinations of perceptual cues may be relevant for learning and action-selection. However, storing all possible cue combinations in memory is computationally implausible in sufficiently complex environments due to a state-space explosion. Some psychological models suggest that cue combinations, i.e. chunks, should be generated at a conservative rate (EPAM/CHREST; e.g. Feigenbaum & Simo...
متن کاملControlling speckle using lenses and free space.
The correlation properties of speckle fields are studied for general paraxial systems. The previous studies on lateral and longitudinal speckle size for the case of free-space propagation (Fresnel transform) are generalized to the case of the linear canonical transform. These results have implications for the control of speckle size, through appropriate design of optical systems, with particula...
متن کاملControlling the Hypothesis Space in Probabilistic Plan Recognition
The ability to understand the goals and plans of other agents is an important characteristic of intelligent behaviours in many contexts. One of the approaches used to endow agents with this capability is the weighted model counting approach. Given a plan library and a sequence of observations, this approach exhaustively enumerates plan execution models that are consistent with the observed beha...
متن کاملControlling Cardea: Fast Policy Search in a High Dimensional Space
The essential dynamics algorithm is a novel policy search algorithm for learning in a class of stochastic Markov decision processes (MDPs) with continuous state and action spaces. We apply it to the control of a 5 degree of freedom robot arm atop a Segway base. Movement of the arm causes the base to translate and tilt, which in turn affects the movement of the arm. The state space has 14 dimens...
متن کاملControlling Search Space Materialization in a Practical Declarative Debugger
While the idea of declarative debugging has been around for a quarter of a century, the technology still hasn’t been adopted by working programmers, even by those working in declarative languages. The reason is that making declarative debuggers practical requires solutions to a whole host of problems. In this paper we address one of these problems, which is that retaining a complete record of e...
