yeah this is a pretty classic example of what startups have to deal with: irrational customers. the guy is getting $3k from a transaction that breaks all kind of rules, and is upset that a _SCAN_ of his Driver's License might be intercepted

This looks... erm ... neat. A "sophomore OpenGL term project" kind of neat. Baidu on the other hand does the maps right [0], which hardly surprising given their 20 years of head start. On a more general note, this reminds me of old Microsof

Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell it to the EEOC. The applicant pool requirement upsets a lot of people (like how the hell can i control who applies?!), but it's the reality of modern HR. Deal with it, and be productive!
