But where in the form do I put in the fact that I use spaces instead of tabs, to let them know that I should be making more?
Re:My Uber driver robbed me, so I took Uber to court and won on Wednesday June 21, 2017 @04:34PM (#14607660)
I get that the court process is the main part of the story, but I still can't believe that you left $4k worth of equipment in the car with a stranger. I guess I'm just much more paranoid. Also, that's how I view taxi drivers as well as Uber/Lyft drivers. Sure there are some protections like background checks and tracking, but at the end of the day it is a stranger we don't know, and anything could happen, so we probably should at least be a bit hesitant.
Are user location credentials often accidentally exposed in other app's APIs? This isn't something I have much knowledge in and am just wondering how often this is a security issue.
