It’s interesting you mention scooters, because Lyft allows a single user to unlock two bicycles, at least in Chicago, but not two scooters. I wonder if the risk profile is somehow different?
- vikramkr 3y agoI mean, or they were different teams and the product person on the bike team was like sure, two bikes, while the scooter team was like let's unlock one scooter, and there was no reasoning of any sort of communicating and sometimes stuff is just inconsistent because people don't talk and don't care about things they think don't matter
- smabie 3y agoBird let's you unlike 2 scooters so I imagine there really isn't a good reason for Lyfts one scooter limitation
- almostnormal 3y ago> I wonder if the risk profile is somehow different? A bike does not require a minimum age but an e-scooter does. The app probably knows the age of the user, but has no way to determine the age of the user of additional scooters. It could cross-reference data from social media accounts, and if all friends of the user fullfil the required minimum age then offer additional scooters.
- sznio 3y agoCan't they just... ask the user? If a simple yes/no prompt is good enough for porn, I guess it's good enough for a scooter too.
- ido 3y agoAn underage user can die from using a scooter but not from watching porn.
- midasuni 3y agoA parent can unlock a scooter for their underage kid if they don’t unlock one for themselves.
- ido 3y agoI’m sure you can find a lot of edge cases and work around but at some point you get to “we don’t need passwords because someone can crack them anyway”. The fact is that there’s nothing potentially dangerous about minor watching porn where there is about minimum age requirements for electric scooters.
- Thiez 3y agoDepends on who you ask - some people are really anti porn. Some might say silly things like underage driving may threaten the body, but porn threatens the immortal soul.
