<p>I think UBI is pretty squarely a progressive issue.  Maybe you're conservative for the area you live in (Cali?) but many conservatives would consider your view to be pretty extreme left.</p>

<p>> The end result of a business is a lemonade stand or a barber or donut shop, the end result of a startup is OpenAI or Google.<p>That's a bit disingenuous.  The more comparable end result for a coffee shop is Starbucks.  Or Amazon if you want to talk about books</p>

<p>You can ask this about a lot of foods, but probably won't get many satisfying answers.  For example cheese goes back many thousands of years, and it's theorized that it was invented accidentally due to storing milk in sheep stomachs or similar.<p>Probably something similar for pickling.  Someone noticed that salted foods last a long time, and vinegar never seems to go bad, so why not try combining them?</p>

<p>There hasn't been an explicit ruling from the supreme Court that applies here, but there are indications that they would have ruled that the fourth amendment applied.  They've explicitly avoided closing the door on that possibility.<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v.Jones(2012)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v.Jones(2012)</a><p>> Also left unanswered was the broader question surrounding the privacy implications of a warrantless use of GPS data without a physical intrusion – as might occur, for example, with the electronic collection of GPS data from wireless service providers or factory-installed vehicle tracking and navigation services.[27] The Court left these matters to be decided in some future case, saying, "It may be that achieving the same result through electronic means, without an accompanying trespass, is an unconstitutional invasion of privacy, but the present case does not require us to answer that question."<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpenter_v._United_States" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpenter_v._United_States</a><p>> Ultimately, in Carpenter the court determined that the third-party doctrine could not be extended to historical cell site location information (CSLI). Instead, the Court compared "detailed, encyclopedic, and effortlessly compiled" CSLI records to the GPS information at issue in United States v. Jones, recognizing that both forms of data accord the government the ability to track individuals' past movements.[24] Furthermore, the Court noted that CSLI could pose even greater privacy risks than GPS data, as the prevalence of cellphones could accord the government "near perfect surveillance" of an individual's movements. Accordingly, the Court ruled that, under the Fourth Amendment, the government must obtain a search warrant in order to access historical CSLI records.[1]<p>Of course there are no guarantees on how they'd rule today, but in the past they've ruled that scale and ease of access and compilation are significant enough to mean that fourth amendment protections should apply.</p>
