The app requires you to always allow them to track your location. It seemed like an interesting app till I found that out. I probably won't open it back up until I hear that they change this.

I really don't get the whole wait outside for 35 minutes to get marginally better ice cream thing. I feel like people want the tweetbrags about visiting the trendy ice cream shop more than they want the ice cream.
If you are talking about Bi-Rite creamery near Dolores Park, I feel you, but hear me out. Three things: 1. I fucking despise lines. I will pay money, I will forgo comfort, I will give up on a thing I want, if a Line is an obstacle. I'm the jabroni paying VIP entrance to clubs not because I want to be cool, but because I can't be fucked to stand in a line. I won't do it. I'll go hungry before I stand in a line. I boug…
Also Ice Cream Bar has better stuff. Fight me! :P
Whenever I watch the Apple WWDC keynote, and I hear the handful of enthusiastic screams from the audience when Tim Cook announces some new feature, I always wonder if those are genuine or not. They just don't seem real. Like 99% of people watching, I've never attended in person, so it's hard to tell.
The front rows at Apple's keynotes are usually reserved for Apple employees and often this includes the teams that built the products that are being announced. So the excitement is genuine, but from Apple employees, not random attendees.
So yeah, I'm sure it's mostly Apple employees, with randoms like myself thrown in here to make the crowd shots less homogenous.

I'm with you on lines. Fuck that, there's always better things to be doing. But you can skip the bi-rite lines if you just go at a non-weekend day. Tuesday mid-day? No lines! Also Ice Cream Bar has better stuff. Fight me! :P
But yup, my GF and I actually took a day off work on a Tuesday specifically for bi-rite. Made the trip up all the way from South Bay. Worth.

>They’ve even been hand-picked by a casting agent of sorts, an algorithmic one that selects each person according to age, location, style and Facebook “likes.” >They may look excited, but that could also be part of the production. Acting disengaged while they idle in line could tarnish their “reputation score,” an identifier that influences whether they’ll be “cast” again. Oh boy, it's happening! https://en.wikipedia…
Off topic, but man, I feel like the "Black Mirror" series is required viewing for anybody working in technology. Depressing yes, but also a good warning of what is coming.

+1 - San Franciscans love to wait in line. EDIT: getting downvotes, not saying all of SF, but its definitely a "thing" - if you live here you've seen it
