  • But this kind of thing is ripe for unintended consequences at best and flat out bad data at worst.

    When I drive I put my phone in the center so I can see the map. If me and my passenger’s phones are in the center, who is marked as driving when I get into an accident?

    From there, why stop at one phone? Let’s put several phones in the back seat, including mine. Hell, let’s have a burner phone that I use only for driving that has a throw away account. Or let’s go back to old fashioned maps and GPS devices while our phones are turned off. Meanwhile, at home, I’ve spun up a virtual device where it is very peacefully driving a route. Perfectly. Then I have another virtual device that is driving a different route on the other side of the world driving erratically.

    These companies are forgetting that the data from phones are data from devices, not people. If you’re going to spy on me, I’m going to make you fucking earn it.


  • On the one hand I completely understand and agree with businesses that do this. CC fees take a huge chunk out of your bottom line.

    On the other hand, I’m less likely to go there a second time unless I really, really, really like your business.

    For my barber, I will gladly pay in cash.

    There’s a convenience store that charged me the 3% at check out. I left everything on the counter and went the extra mile or so and went to a normal grocery store.
