Taxis are good in NYC. In Binghamton NY, they all tell you the credit card readers are broken at all times of day and insist on driving you to an ATM so they can get paid in cash. In Washington DC, if they think you're drunk, they over

I always felt that $70 was an absurd price for the $10 worth of gas and 30 minutes to get home from the airport that taxis used to charge before Uber. I believe that Uber creates a more efficient allocation of drivers permitting drivers to

Actually, no. For all computers, running macOS High Sierra, a computer with a root password is a whole heck of a lot more secure than one without a root account at all :) But seriously, a fix is whatever fixes the problem.

YES! Obviously! Because if the campaign could show that a single email was altered, it casts doubt on the entire set. Many people would immediately jump to the conclusion that many emails were altered and disregard the story entirely.

If an email that wasn't part of the public debate was altered, who cares? The simple fact is that, of all the emails that were covered by the media, the Clinton campaign was unable to point to a single one and say it was altered.
