Crediting my account isn't a refund. I never requested a credit. So I stand by my assertion that it is fraud. The same goes for having to meticulously scour my trip logs for where the driver didn't end the ride when I exited the

Do those figures include refund fraud? I've reported several fraudulent trips; trips where the driver accepts my fare and pretend he's actually picked me up and then ends the trip after some time. When I requested a refund, Uber h

I was waiting to finish my taxes for state and federal before replying to this. Turbotax was 100% free for both with automatic imports of my forms. As long as you avoid upgrading to unnecessary services beyond their basic service, you can f

As others here have said, ignoring the 'hello' is the best bet. For those on the asking end, my advice is to ask your question and if it goes beyond a simple answer, follow up with 'do you have time to talk about this now?&#x

Whatever you want to call them, the basics/classics/fundamentals are all just primers to get your mind firing on all cylinders. Having access to all the knowledge in the world is useless if you don't know what questions to as

I think in this context, the question is about the soldier. Female family members ARE buried at Arlington, as you point out, but with their male veteran spouse/parent. Female soldiers seems to be a recent thing, as they traditionally w

I can't recall going to Blockbuster to rent something I had already seen. Usually more time was spent when they introduced the walls of empty boxes. Sometimes you found a case which served as representing a physical copy behind the cou

Slow trucks are obligated to pull to the side of the road when traffic backs up behind them. Bicycles ignore that.

This is great in theory, but not in practice. A bus in back sees the bus in front stop so it passes. However the bus in front might be full and only drops off one pasenger while more than one pasenger is waiting to board and are thus denied

Which, as a patron who doesn't want to sit for an hour in the sun, is really not acceptable. The bus is not supposed to be in a race, they are supposed to make predictable stops along a predetermined route. Most bus stops I have used i

Many retired people return to work after retirement out of boredom. Humans need tasks, be it for money or purpose. If we arent trying to attain food or shelter due to automation, what's the point? Not everyone takes well to hobbies. It

"Look at what other apps are doing and copy it!" Agree that most of the time this is horrible direction, but I've also experienced the opposite: "We need something like X, but do Y." Where Y is reinventing the wheel

Is there such thing as robot.txt for folders that could be implemented by programs/apps? There are plenty of things that create folders of thumbnails, ui/ux sprites, etc.

By having alternate crafts that can move quickly, we might be able to better guesstimate if it's worth the time of the slow rover to change course and investigate a blip on the map. Alternatively, fast craft could fly around and drop b

You wouldn't notice when your GPS goes out off and on while in inclement weather. It's a service that can degrade gracefully. Some systems revert to other sensors when you lose GPS signal (tunnels, underground, etc). However, you
