Racism definition: "a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others."

No, it isn't "by definition racist"

> to the point where some elementary schools are teaching "white" children they should feel guilty for being born "white."

No they aren't. No one is doing this anywhere.

I don't think it changes you. I think it reveals who you actually are.

"as well as the parts I don't want (which I indicate in-video)"

How do you indicate that in the video?

> incentivized to spread their unsuccessful genes

Wow. This is an incredibly ridiculous and damaging statement.

It's sad that the only way you measure hard work and intelligence is whether or not someone has a six-figure income.

"Banks didn’t verify borrowers’ occupations or incomes. They qualified people for bigger loans than they could afford. They offered loans with monthly payments so low that borrowers owed more after they made a payment, rather than less."

This is part of the problem though. Banks and other lenders should be held responsible for handing out these loans. The onus cannot just be on the homeowners. For every person that simply wanted nicer stuff there are plenty who were fooled into thinking they could afford something that they couldn't.

> I genuinely do not understand Apple's move into this space

There are only so many markets big enough for Apple to consider entering. Cars is one of them.

Banking is another. They're allowing people to pay by phone now through credit cards. One day soon it will be an easy transition to just keeping your money in Apple Bank.

"Mr. Rad and his merry band of plaintiffs"

I sometimes really love legalese.

I think basically because (1) they can and (2) no one has stepped in to prevent them from doing it.

But it's absurd.

How about just require a photo upload and then look at the photo's metadata (time, date, GPS, etc) to match it up with the data they already have (i.e. where the driver is)?

Maybe built in the camera directly into the app so that the drivers don't have the ability to fake an image's metadata.

Really interested in what sensor boards you used to detect everything. Have you shared any of your code at all? Sounds like a really cool project.
