as someone who lives in NYC, I'm constantly thinking about how a lot of shitty tech follows (white, Silicon Valley) Californian cultural norms. two big examples

1. assumption that you will always be outside and in a place with a good network connection. this renders a huge number of mobile apps unusable on the subway, even when there is no good reason to need to be online

2. driving detection, and the assumption that you both have a car and are using it if you're going fast
