Anecdotal evidence, but I've hardly paid for a Lyft ride (aside from driver tips) for the last few months. This thanks to a long-running 50% off promotion in my area (Austin, TX, USA) and a pile of promotional credit added to my accoun

Wow, didn't realize that about excel (though I have observed it in google sheets). I wonder how many hedge funds rely on sheets with catastrophic cancellation issues.
