> 0.134 BILLION
So 134 Million then. I mean that's still an extreme amount of bits ofc. Just seems silly to use the "billion" signifier for something that is less than 1 billion.
Likewise it'd be strange to call something "1000 milliunits" instead of just 1 unit. (Unless ofc milli happens to be the frame of reference for some obvious reason like "15 millunits of x is a deadly dose".)

It's an excelent reason in my opinion.

I am not familiar with FiveThirtyEight but these graphs look quite nice.

> Uber has the analystics, driver ratings, customer ratings, and all that other data that it needs to deal with fraud, fraud, and bad actors
You can have all the data in the world and still make bad decisions.
Sometimes it's cheaper to just pay the customer rather than hiring more engineers to work out a fraud detection algorithm.
I think Uber has realized this.

I wouldn't call Manage Account "teeny and hard-to-notice". I spotted it immediatelly as I'm used to look up in the right corner for logging in on for example reddit.
