My point is, there's practically nothing Google related in my phone already. I am going through the settings and apps and can't find anything. Is LineageOS special in this regard? I thought this is the common AOSP experience, I had it the same with other ROMs.

What's the difference from AOSP as it is - can't find that in the article? AFAIK (I have it on my phone) there's nothing Google in there already, no changes needed. Google services and apps have to be installed and I simply didn't do that.

Is there not a local payment gateway company where you're headquartered? If not, then a bank should be able to help you with accepting cards, they might even have their own online payment gateway with a simple enough API, or they'll point you to their online payments partner.

A guess: You don't (re)write data on your phone storage much? This experience is common for my girlfriend who takes 50 GB of photos every few months, transfers them all to the PC and does it again, but uncommon for me who practically never uses the internal storage except for apps.

Could you please explain what do you mean by type information? I thought you never have type information in JavaScript... - except the base types (bool, number, string, object, array, function), but you always have this information...

The individual local business entities have their own mandatory data publication requirements. At least in EU, it's usual for companies to have to share some economical data publicly (usually there's a minimum on revenue but Uber certainly is over).

Uber operates in "strict" (as in 'technically correct') adherence to local policy. That means, in places where the policy is strict, like for example Italy (Milan), they have only licensed taxi drivers with licensed taxi cars. And where law allows (even with a loophole) they have less.

Uber is structured so that each country has one business entity, thus it's very easy for them to say "our Swiss entity does not do any such thing in Switzerland". Many EU countries have similar laws too, btw - and they have a very clear separation of base price and promo price here, and the base price is regulated.
