The ruling by New York Acting Supreme Court Justice Nicholas Moyne will allow the law to go into effect, which requires companies to pay gig workers a minimum wage of $17.96 per hour. That wage will rise to $20 an hour by 2025. Delivery worker advocates celebrated the ruling, claiming it puts them “one step closer” to earning a living wage for their work.

Now, as is its wont, Google has decided to drop yet another of its apps and instead add those features to … - Get Hot or Iced Coffee at Home With Keurig's K-Slim Plus Iced Brewer for $70 at QVC (Save $50) – CNET
