Heh. I used to work on those products, way back in 2008 or so. Let me save you some time: you won't get any action at good odds. Or, if you do, it'll be a tiny amount. Betfair run their own bots on those markets AND they get their

Justice delayed is justice denied. I realise we have to go through a process, but there's a bus load of dead people and grieving families and friends waiting and waiting. This delay to justice is awful and I couldn't imagine being

Genuinely, if they want to help fix the internet, they should sack everyone not doing core browser work and spend every penny they have spare on marketing to increase their market share. Busses, billboards, TV, radio, Google ads, whatever.

If it was a good hedge fund, they won't offer anyone they don't rate. If they offered you because they think you're mediocre and can get you cheap - do not work for them, they're charlatans.

Unless you need to do that, I wouldn't suggest trying. It's a nightmare with several sets of contradictory, overlapping out of date docs needed to do the whole thing properly. Then of course it breaks and you don't know why.

I think the driver ratings could be largely derived from app data. How close to pickup do they get on average? How close to drop off do they get on average? How erratic is their driving? Do they speed a lot? Other traffic violations? A lot
