Hacker News Reader

While this article might look obvious to you, most people will be surprised by what they read. We need more articles like this, so that everybody realizes how their data is used, processed, farmed, and sold.

Try not to imagine everyone sees the world through your eyes.

This is hn, I expect the content of the article to be obvious to everyone here.

Yes, that is correct. But, this article was posted on Vice and then shared to hacker news. To its primary audience, this is mind blowing.

The other comments show this is not obvious to everyone.

'most' perhaps, 'everyone', not so much

Yes the fact that I can check my phone in the morning for my commute and get an accurate (ish) bus time including delays is great, I can avoid a long wait for a bus at and have another cup of coffee.

Though as I live next door to a pub in my village it used to keep checking me in - google probably thinks I have a drinking problem :-)

Given the other comments, this is not obvious to everyone.
