Claro has had the goal of rolling out fiber island-wide for quite some time. We (In the rural foothills of Mayagüez) were the some of the first customers to receive this expansion several years ago. Are you sure it wasn't Claro?


Recently were shopping insurance providers for our brick and mortar business that has a few delivery vehicles, and MANY of the commercial insurers are requiring that their apps be used to monitor employee driving behavior. I hadn't shopped for insurance in quite awhile and was shocked at how prevalent this requirement seemed to be.


I'm kind of torn on this.

On the one hand, I hate the intrusiveness, that's a huge minus.

On the other hand, commercial drivers are subject to all kinds of perverse business incentives--too many hours driving, poorly maintained fleets, etc.--and if the insurance companies can stamp those out, that's a plus.


Nearly all CDLs in the US are operating with an ELB of some sort and have been for a while now. Trucking is a different world.


Stripe will do the same crap. Don't trust them, either. A few years ago they locked my business account with around $20k in it. On Christmas Eve. An account that had been in service for 5 years and had processed a few million in charges with not a single chargeback. With almost 0 information on what I needed to do to restore the service. And without providing any way to get in touch with anyone aside from support tickets, which took 20+ hours between replies.

A good reminder for me that I still need to move off of their platform.


Same position here, though I realized it a bit later in life. Currently mid 30s and hoping to be out of tech by 40.
