Pretty funny and creepy. For those who don’t want to watch the video. This company identifies where people are based on their zipcode. If they could not tell exactly, they would give the center of the location they narrowed it down to. So if they could only tell in was in the US, they would give the center of the US, which was this farm in Kansas. So the FBI, IRS, and various businesses would constantly be knocking on the door looking for someone. After a few years, the farmers figured out what it was and sued the location company.

A few years? Yikes. That’s a long time when it’s YOUR life.

That seems to be evidence we are living in an idiocracy.

People with any common sense at all think about the results they get from computer software. Going off to some farm in Kansas that was already known to be the location returned by default from buggy software is pretty stupid.

And you might also ask yourself why does the same farm keep coming up as the result in my queries?

Too bad they didn’t dig a deep ditch or cistern filled with manure and a nondescript farmhouse over the hole. When they broke in the door they would fall into the hole.
