It was 7am on a Sunday. Let's say I did want to call a cab. I woudl have to look up the number of a cab company, then try to choose one because there would be like a dozen that sounded the same, then call the dispatch and ask them to send a cab, and they would tell me that one would be there in about 30 minutes, but it would really take an hour. Or I could open the lyft app, press the button, and somebody was there in 5 minutes with no drama.
Taxis and Lyft are not interchangeable!!! There is no comparison!!!
did you read my post? It wasn't an emergency situation - I had a fat lip, and needed a shot of steroids. It wasn't like my airway was closing up and i needed an epi pen. i just needed a ride to the nearest doc-in-a-box to get a shot in the butt.
true story: I was in Austin last summer. I was having a bad allergic reaction cuz where I was staying was an old house and there was so much dust. Out for drinks with my buddies, and my top lip starts swelling up cuz allergies. long story short, we drink, we drink, and my lip gets so huge it makes me look like a platypus!
head on home, go to bed, then next AM it is still swollen up! I thought it would subside during the night. so I look up on my phone where the nearest urgent care clinic is, so I could get a shot of steroids in the butt to put everything back in order. But first I needed to find a way to get there. Cuz I didn't have a car.
SO I TOOK A LYFT.
Only like a 10 minute drive, got my shot, and everything went back to normal.
I wish people would pay attention to success stories like this, before making rash decisions at the polls!
There are hundreds of reasons why people may turn to piracy. A financial motive is often mentioned, as well as lacking legal alternatives. A new study from a group of researchers now suggests that national intelligence can also be added to the list.
but then it says this:
They concluded that there's a trend indicating that countries with a higher IQ have lower software piracy rates.
correlation is not causation! I suspect that the nations "with higher IQs" are advanced economies, and people from "lower IQ" developing economies can't afford first world prices for photoshop and ms word.
They also need to add a way for you to access music files purchased from other sources (drm-free), ripped from CD or even pirated. That would be super sweet.
Well, Sheldon adelson bought the Las Vegas newspaper that was always criticizing him. Surely that's 10x worse than gawker. Bezels bought WaPo, but I don't know the impact of that.
I think what needs to happen first is you need to identify the biggest pathways by which people break into peoples accounts. And then use those to develop the requirements for an excellent password. For example, it could be that the greatest risk is caused by password reuse, where a leak from one side is then used to pack email accounts or bank accounts or wherever on other sites. If that's the case then some sort of unique password even if it's like password0, password1, password2, fixes that problem.

did you ever wonder, what is a breadbox? I have always wondered.
i missed that issue. i was playing mario kart.

U.K. Is still in nato, and is bound by article XI of the nato charter help out any other member.
If I were EU, I would slap so many tariffs on UK just as a lesson to other EU members of what happens when you leave.

imessage is encrypted end to end.
iMessages messing up because I don't use iCloud is Apple's problem.
makes no sense. is it honda's fault that you want to drive the car without the wheels?
Or "what is pregnancy" when you're pregnant.
came for this. The summary is misleading:

They didn't talk about it. They did talk about the Apple Music app on the iPhone. 15 million subscribers. MAny improvements.
Does this also apply to art TVs?

Who doesn't want to condemn radical Islam? I don't get the point you're trying to make.
You want a free ipad? everybody wants a free thing. I'm in CA.
apparently these days cheap is all that matters - quality doesn't
I'm super satisfied with my new iPad Air 2. Good performance, good battery life, good storage, good build quality.
Holy shizz an actual fact with an actual data source to back it up (citation on the wiki page). GTFO, this kind of nonsense has no place here.
I don't know what a culture war is, but I believe in calling out bad shizz.

*they're. Also, kotaku has some good stuff and makes some good points that are worth considering.
