Recently Uber launched Audio Recording feature for the rides which would provide an added layer of safety on an ongoing trip. 

As per Uber, all audio recordings are encrypted and stored securely on your device. Your recording will be locked, and no one—not your driver, not Uber, not you—has access to it. Uber can only access the recording if you report an incident and choose to share the recording. Uber does not share these recordings with third parties and these recordings are only used to resolve safety concerns.

Few issues I see with this feature
1. Consent - Consent from both parties of being recorded. Since the feature doesn’t notify passengers or drivers when recording starts, I believe consent plays a big part. 
2.  Since Uber is going to share these with law enforcement agencies this could go sideways and Uber might receive too many summons from law agencies to share such recordings or this might see an increase in false complaints. 
3. Storage - Uber using phone storage instead of in-app cloud storage. 
4. Data handling - We have seen data breaches in past. This questions what if scenarios.
5. Inability to share recording until after the trip might be a limitation in cases where immediate intervention or reporting is required. 

I know this is nice feature and would definitely deter any untoward behaviour by a driver or passenger but I want to understand is this the step in right direction? 
All awesome PMs and engineers here, pls pitch in and share your thoughts.

I understand that calls are needed to be made, but to be anytime on the phone and dial up someone else after the current call ends and that too on loudspeaker with no decency to reduce vulgar words is simply a behaviour that I find so annoying! You try to go to work on a cab peacefully, only to hear him vent or speak unnecessary things on a call with someone else. Again, on speaker mode!
Anyone else find this annoying?

Uber/Ola annoying always on the call!

In the past few months, regardless of how long my commute is—whether by auto, cab, or metro—I have started reading. I always carry a hard copy of a book with me, and I read during my travels. This habit has changed me; reading makes me feel calmer, and it has become something I look forward to.

Not really sure if this is the right place to put this up but I wanted to take it out somewhere. I happened to be in a road rage recently. There was this Rapido/Uber biker who was driving rashly. I had seen him but didn’t bother and I was going my way. Suddenly, he overtook me from left and his handle hit on my bike handle. I shouted in panic and he was saying some random shit looking at me - You need to watch out, bro.. something like that.
I was safe and don’t think even the bike had any damage but I lost my calm and wanted to kind of scold him for how he was riding. I followed him driving rashly again for about 500m and caught up and shouted at him saying - bhai shanti se chala or nahi chalana aata hai toh kyun chala rhe ho. And I realised I was about to head on hit an auto wala but braked on time. That auto wala started giving me hand gestures. He was right. I did drive rash.

In the meanwhile, that biker guy went crazy. He got off his bike, took his helmet and signalled at hitting me. The auto wala was standing beside me and he asked what was happening. I said this guy hit my bike and tried to run away. The biker was speaking some rubbish something like - I warned you there also bro.. I went a little numb and didn’t figure what was happening. This guy hit me with his hand on my helmet. I didn’t get hurt but felt the blow. I tried saying something but nothing came out. He hit me again the same way. The auto wala tried to stop him. He kept abusing and then left. I was numb for a few mins. Left from there and reached home safe. 

I am just not able to get these thoughts off my head. The incident keeps flashing. I feel lucky to not have removed my helmet, tried to hit him back because I don’t know what that could have led to. It was clearly my mistake that I lost my calm and followed him in the first place knowing he was a rapido biker. I don’t know why I did that - may be work stress or may be some other trauma. I have been bullied at times in my childhood when I

Pay toll for good roads but you cannot drive fast even on expressways. What's the point

On a recent episode of Nikhil Kamath, he says “Bangalore is famous for nice and welcoming people”. This is so very true to a large extent. Every city however has some outliers who tarnish the image by going extreme. 

I have seen a lot of posts on GrapeVine complaining about Bangalore and their people. People should understand that every native resident of a city carries a profound sense of connection and endeavours to uphold the cultural heritage of their hometown. And what better way to preserve heritage than to safeguard language ?  This is the reason I believe most non Hindi speaking cities try to impose their language on outsiders. 

All said and done, I feel language should never be imposed but at the same time it shouldn’t be ridiculed either. I’ve seen a lot of “Kannada” hate post and is disheartening to see it.

And lastly I appologize to all those who have had negative experiences due to a few troublemakers. 

TL;DR : Bangalore is a lovely city with warm and welcoming people.

Bangalore is ❤️

I think these welcoming people are outsiders themselves. Actual natives hates outsiders and as per recent events they are trying to send back people, specially north Indians.

Any suggestions for good car dashcams? 

Just realized how badly you need this device on the road. People just walk into your car from anywhere and try to put the blame on you.

Hii, recently I have been procrastinating a lot while trying to educate myself about personal finance and other personal growth related content.

After a bit of introspection I came to a few conclusions on why I am procrastinating.

 The number one reason that came to my mind is that i tend to forget whatever "non-entertainment" stuff I watch on YouTube so what's the point of watching it so I avoid it.

I have tried pen paper notes but i rarely open them again.

I want to know how you remember all those useful articles, videos , podcasts, Twitter posts, grapevine answers that you come across online ? 

I have seen people listening to podcasts while travelling to work, if you are one of them then how do you retain the information?

Why do u buy sunroof fitted car?

Given the recent incident in BLR, I think it has now become necessary to have a dashcam installed in car.

Which dashcam are you guys using? 

Have you experienced such incident personally?
