You think? It seems like about the one valid use case for tracking. I bought phones for my kids on the proviso they would be primarily for safety purposes. Though it will start to get a bit grey as they get older.
"Our goal, as Cthulhu, is to support initiatives designed to rise from the dark depths of R’lyeh (metaphorically speaking!) and end up destroying or at least disrupting, some market paradigm." Happy to maintain social paradigms though - only one woman on then entire team...

That said, somehow I love it even more when such jokes get featured on HN and, invariably, shares of dry humorless grumpy people complain that they ca…

I'm assuming you mean racial, sexual, ethnic, which is rubbish. There's greater diversity WITHIN the groups than BETWEEN them. Categorizing diversity based on superficial traits is WRONG, bordering on racist. It's the fundamental racist idea. (Dont get hung up on the word racist, we are talking about quantifying diversity) Genuine diversity is done by selecting on competence across individuals, NOT BY SKIN COLOR, GEN…
