You need to learn to do estimations better. The American number is also an estimation - no exact number exists and due to how Uber operates it probably can't. You could get an exact number of how many have ever existed but right now the number of active ones would be hard to determine as it changes too often.
That said - let me correct your maths..
Please re-read. I was quoting the your numbers and showing them to be ridiculous.
To be clear, if the US has 800,000 Uber drivers and 99.99% of drivers are elsewhere, then there are 8,000,000,000 Uber drivers. Which is everybody with 750,000,000 aliens from space added in, given that the world's population is about 7,125,000,000 humans.
No it does not. The period is for the whole sentence, which is not a quote. The quoted words are just a list.
No, quoted words are a string. The end of a list can be implicit, or if the list has only one element, you can denote it with a trailing comma. Or were we not talking about python?
No one alive remembers that person, and therefore there is no need to grieve, which is the only logical reason for having a grave site in the first place.
Well there's also the preservation of pathogen DNA fragments for future scientists to dig up.
That's not an explanation, that's a narrative that doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Even the evidence in the official report doesn't support that theory.
OK, let me fill in a little more detail in words you might understand, since you've chosen to ignore the detailed explanations in the NIST report.
A) Building: A very tall, very heavy thing, supported by a metal framework with lots of vertical bits. B) Plane: A very heavy fast thing, full of fuel. C) Plane hits building in the middle of its rise, destroys many vertical bits by virtue of being heavy. The fuel fuels a big hot fire that compromised the rest. D) The heavy bit above the bit the plane hit is then not supported sufficiently and falls down, taking out the parts below.
Burning buildings that caught fire from an errant cigarette are not the same as a burning building that has been mostly sliced in half by a plane and filled with jet fuel.
>Whether it's a conspiracy has nothing to do with the method selected to destroy the buildings. Heck, if one doubts how they were destroyed, one could much more plausibly argue that it was Al-Qaeda who rigged explosives and then pretended the planes did it because they wanted to scare people into thinking they could blow up buildings with just airplanes.
I am sure most police offiers they will normally go the safe route. If it says it's dangerous they are going to treat it as such. In some countries Chiefs needs a special permit for their knives. And if someone's house gets raided and they find knives they get holding dangerous weapon charges.
If I wanted to stop people taking alternative explanations to an event seriously I would find convenient nutters to add their wacky ideas to the list of explanations and get them onto talk shows, lecture circuit, etc. The more outlandlish the better; aliens - even better; new physics - great; the proposer have a checkered past and outlandish hairstyle - just who we want. The result is a couple of dozen of competing ideas for people to read; they will, rightly, dismiss many of them as cranky, and, by association, this reduces the credibility of the more considered explanations.
The ideas become hidden because mainstream media can ignore them by labelling them 'conspiracy theories'.
I'm not saying who/what caused the 3 buildings to fall on 9/11, but the official story has questions in it that it's authors don't answer; some alternative stories seem to have good evidence behind them.
I thought the planes flying into the buildings were a pretty good explanation for why they fell down.
If you really care about audio quality, you should be pretty excited about headphones that can draw power from the lightning connecter... that allows for better processing, better noise cancellation, and so on all for headphones that never need a battery.
I was pretty excited by the noise cancelling Bose I got a few years ago. I still use them every day at work and they have a battery that requires charging. It can plug into my computer, my mixing desk and my phone. I see nothing but inconvenience coming from this.
The problem is, right or wrong, the industry tends to follow Apple's lead. That's what people are afraid of.
I think on this matter, an audio jack is going to remain a feature of other brands precisely to get customers turned away from iPhones due to the lack of a jack. As will being able to charge and listen at the same time.

You gotta remember, liberals love to justify bad behavior, by pointing to (often unrelated) ... bad behavior.
Nope. That's not justifying bad behavior, that's pointing out hypocrisy.
You were not off by a fraction of a percent. You were off by several billion people.
Feel free to put forward your own hypothesis that isn't crackpot.
I put forward mine.
Until then your are just trolling.

So you did make it up. Come back when you have actual data rather than supposition.
Globally or just inside the US ? Which is hardly representative of Uber drivers - you do realize about 99.99% of them are not in America right ?
Globally. Big, North hemisphere cities mostly. I don't believe your 99.99% number, you made it up.
>Then you live in a very wealthy city/neighbourhood because that is definitely not the norm.
I do but I only use ride hailing apps when I'm traveling, which I do a lot of.

Maybe stop because of the slavery: http://www.alternet.org/labor/...
That's not a problem with Tuna. It's a problem with protection of humans (and the lack thereof) by other humans.
It's been so long since I did it that I don't remember. Now I'll have to go and look.
Jet fuel cant reach a temperature high enough to melt steal.
Stealing melts wasn't in question.

Yes. I would not be surprised if that is true.
Oh, Intel. We're halfway in between in Oregon. We left the marketing and hr in Santa Clara.
I don't think that was the case in 1975 when Microsoft BASIC came out for the Altair 8080 based on the Intel 8080 processor.
Right, but it was a bit basic.
Absolutely. And companies like Uber are recruiting real live people to devote their actual working lives
Every one of the Uber/Lyft drivers I have used have professed to doing it to supplement income from their primary job.
My ubiquiti APs let me log in and turn the glowing disk off.
Building 7?
What of it? Are you saying the twin towers were downed by aliens because of building 47?
That's not an explanation, that's a narrative that doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Even the evidence in the official report doesn't support that theory.

This is where Occam's razor comes in handy.
Who would want to code while they could be out socializing?
Aspie people made this Valley.
Redmond is a valley? It seems to be missing a side.

Which countries are these?
