can they at least fix the interstate highway exits it thinks are splits? why do I need to be told to keep left at random exits?

Google Maps decided my driveway is a road, and also gave it a (non-existent) name. I have attempted to update this information, but Google just rejects my suggestions as "not accepted".
So we now regularly get people driving down here or trying to park, when it's actually just a one-lane driveway.
double-check it on openstreetmap.org

"Is the parcel in the geographical bounds of the city name entered?"
The "city name" on an address isn't really a "city". SFO's address is "San Francisco, CA", but is not within SF city limits.
Queens NY addresses have "cities" that are just neighborhoods.
Applying any kind of logic to addresses will just be a minefield.
hundreds of people in my city-county really think they live in a city in the next county over just because of the "city" label on their zip code

In both cases why not?
1. Make the kicker kick from farther out in that case. Pretty simple change.
2. 1 yard is kind of nothing in this league now when the referees have so much leeway to change yardage. They get the spot wrong ALL the damn time now. So what if it's automatic for some teams. And so what if the offense has the advantage there. That's sport. Same thing in soccer on penalty kicks, the kicker has the advantage there knowing where he's going to kick.
the rule for FG/XP attempts is for the safety of the long snapper, not the kicker

My roommate works front desk at a hotel, a common problem is that a third party site books things incorrectly or promises things that don't exist, then the customer is in the hotel lobby mad at the hotel over something they had nothing to do with
I've had this happen when booking directly with an IHG hotel. My reservation in their system said I had a 2x queen room, but the hotel's end showed 1x king.
1) You love the Ruby programming language.
2) It's battle-tested. Tried and true. Batteries included. Can have a web app with most functionality needed running in minutes.
3) There are more reasons, but there are other good options as well. No reason to use Rails if you're not interested in Ruby.
> Batteries included.
this is the Python standard library motto
Am I crazy in thinking that we heard about this several years ago? Is this just a continuation of that study or am I mis-remembering/my timeline way off?
This is really exciting though, especially when mixed with other cancer treatments the ability to catch and deal with this is fascinating. How long until a theoretical, "Oh we detected some cancer cells in your regular blood work, here is a shot to deal with it" like we treat many other things.
we've been searching for blood biomarkers for cancer for decades -- I'm sure we've found several by now
My first thought is "WTF!" But my second is this: every single person who's ever criticized Boeing is going to die (eventually). With so many people in a position to notice and speak out about Boeing's issues, it isn't terribly surprising that a few deaths have occurred.
Combine that with one headline-grabbing (apparent) suicide during a deposition, and we're now all primed to notice these deaths and attribute intent.

Of course you could write in your own codes and make your own hacks but a lot of the time you ended up with garbled graphics or an unbootable game. They did keep this developer documentation to a minimum and this was before the internet. Although my local BBS had an ascii document detailing game genie’s internals and how to write your own codes, it was far from the reach of most 10 year olds
The game genie knockoff clone (I forget the name but remember the ads lol) had all of the codes in memory and as such gave you a menu to choose from
the really fun part was exploring building your own codes and how/why they worked or didn't
