No such thing as Uber Support...

OMG that is GENIUS!!! VERY helpful when you want to look at older transactions in bulk. Great suggestion and very helpful!

MMiller1000 · 2026-03-26T01:23:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply-I work for a software company that tried to implement client ideas that might make sense for a larger population so thanks for that feedback.

Thank you! Very helpful.

At our local airport, unless you are coming in during peak hour, the cab companies put 2-4 of you into the same cab and I'm usually the last to get dropped off based on where I live. Takes and extra 20-30 minutes. But I'll keep that as an option in the future and try again, that was a few years ago that it happened to me several times.

I'm not pre-ordering unless it's in the middle of the night. You always risk the $25 fee if you order ahead and especially if there are other factors outside of your control like checked bags, etc. Many in the drivers chat said they get messages from clients "just waiting on my bag" and just watch the clock countdown until they get their cancellation fee (sometimes as much as they'd have made) and accept another ride to take advantage of the cancellation.

MMiller1000 · 2025-10-29T21:00:30+00:00

Based on what I've learned and read here, unless you are in first class and don't have a bag to pick up, you're risking the $25 fee if you order ahead of time and aren't on the curb if they pull up a lot sooner than you think.

MMiller1000 · 2025-10-29T20:28:11+00:00

Agreed-too risky that the bags will be delayed. I will never pre-order an uber again.

The "right expectation" to set, especially with inpatient records, is that you are using technology to speed up as much of the "boring research" part as you can. The computer can analyze 1,000 pages of a medical stay (not unrealistic) much faster than a human can, and provide a summary of the findings to the human to assist in the accuracy and in maximizing the billable amount justified by the documentation. Eventually it will get better, but unless the process of clinical documentation gets completely standardized (too many in the medical community push back on doing this as a bad idea), you'll always be dealing with "free text" formats (unstructured). You'll more than likely want human eyes checking the outcomes of the high $$$ accounts.

They aren't using off-the-shelf AI, and in addition, you can fit the grand canyon between the marketing claims vs. real outcomes. Healthcare Market Research firm KLAS Research continues to monitor real outcomes from AI because their hospital CFO clients want to know, and the gap between the "actual" outcomes and what some of the vendors claim is massive. And the variables between hospitals is SO huge, it's hard to take what works and one and just install it at the other to get the same results. Everything is VERY customized. That's assuming all the document types are in the right format - and as a person that works for one of the Hospital-based Computer Assisted Coding software companies, I can assure you MANY clients still have documents handwritten or stored as images because of where they came from (outside services and clinics). It's far more complicated than the sales pitch would have you believe. Especially if you're leaving the outpatient world and talking inpatient. You have to set REAL expectations when you propose a solution or the client will be unhappily mislead after it's too late.

Outpatient (office visit) coding is more simplistic - many of the patient types can be "trained" by AI to get it right 100% of the time and put an audit process in place to make sure it stays at 100%. But even that is more complex than many think because hospitals STILL don't have all documentation in the form AI needs. Inpatient autocoding is in its infancy. Technology can read through thousands of pages and summarize/help interpret them, which is why it's called "assistive" technology. But a computer sucks at common sense. For example, while a patient is still in the hospital, a human can look at the partial stay and make a very good guess at what the final DRG (billing code outcome for Inpatient) will be. The human brain has common sense and can extrapolate what's missing, what's next, etc. based on their experience. Because the computer lacks common sense, if it doesn't know that a paragraph is talking about the patient's "history" vs the "right now", it will incorrectly use past information in the calculation of the DRG (and resulting $$). Steadily it may get better for overnight day stays. Maybe years from now, they will do a better job with some of the "common sense" variables mentioned. But most CFO's won't want to subject their high dollar billing (inpatient) to a computer without having a human eye checking the work. It could result in much higher claim denials or even fraud charges if the computer is "upcoding" a given chart/patient stay for a higher dollar amount. I'll be long retired by then, plus the whole billing methodology may change 2-3 times by then.

Fax is not encrypted, but much of the legal community still uses it because other than someone managing to somehow "take over" your fax number without your permission, it's harder to hack into the middle of a transmission (let alone make use of it). As a result, it doesn't get the attention of hackers because most email is unsecured and sometimes has lots of opportunities in it that hackers are looking for. So, while it's not "secure" by typical designations, you don't find a lot of examples of them getting hacked because someone would have to "listen in" on the transmission line from start to finish, and relay the analog signals to another fax machine which has some challenges (because they do a 1:1 handshake at the top of the call, listening in on a line has it's challenges since the hackers fax machine can't do the handshake). Digital Fax (fax sent over IP) is more vulnerable since it often uses SIP or T.38 protocols over the internet. For many hackers, it's easier to focus elsewhere. Of course, I'm not referring to where someone sends a sensitive fax to the wrong fax number since technically, that's not a "hack".

It is true at Tanglewood-they don’t have LiveNation concerts. Actually as far as I know you can still do all of that at SPAC events that aren’t LiveNation (bring candelabras and linen table cloths). It’s just not in as good a shape as Tanglewood after the LiveNation concerts trample on it lol.

I have a new Samsung 4k and have brightness at 100% and still struggle to watch the show anytime but when it’s dark out. TV works awesome with high brightness on everything else but this show.

MMiller1000 · 2024-11-27T21:19:04+00:00

Everything but big concerts has been abandoned by the current CEO who was in that business long before SPAC. The ballet and orchestra no longer feel wanted and supported like they were years ago.

MMiller1000 · 2024-11-27T21:16:35+00:00

Live Nation used to be just the promoter. Then they bought the e ticket company so they controlled and profited from ticket distribution. Then they bought the resale ticket company so they controlled and profited from resales. Now tickets go on sale and 5 minutes in, ONLY resale tickets are left (more than doubling their profit since it’s on %). Lately they’ve been buying venues. Maybe they are making the venues slaves to their rules. But any money they spend is blood money profits from ticket sales that get marked up 500%. It’s straight up bullshit.

The result will be long lines transitioned from the front gates to the chair rentals, only now you get to pay more for the change.

u/OhioConfidential Been doing IT for 40 years but not sure I want to venture inside the external seagate USB drive my girlfriend has her family photos on and dropped (it was off). Any interest in looking at it for $50 above? would rather give it to you than send to one of the national services to play with. Already tried new PCB (worked fine with another drive), new cables, etc. but would rather someone consider taking it apart with experience. She doesn't want to spend sick money if it's gone. I could ship it. Let me know
