How Seamless caused Taco Chino to lose $27.23

by on Sep.20, 2011, under Coding, Life, Technology

Taco Chino delivers no further than 1.5 miles away. Seamless understands this and lists them as being within 1.4 miles away. Yet when placing an order Taco Chino is not within the range of delivery despite being eight minutes away. What has gone wrong?

There is a huge difference between driving distances and actual distances:

  1. Google maps reports the driving distance being greater than 2 miles
  2. The distance between location and destination is approx. 1.4 miles

Shame on you Seamless coders.

  • Manually configure a device to work with a driver in windows when the driver.inf file “has no hardware information about your device”
  • Some android phones have driver software that is only obtainable through bizarre methods.
  • Decrypt an APK file to extract XML information
  • Use XML information to generate an R.java file in Eclipse
  • Debug someone else’s application to get it to run.
