As a west coast startup guy I don't totally get this, and wanted to know how startups in NYC handle it.

Specifically I'd love to get feedback from anyone who:

- Has a startup w/ offices in both SF & NYC. Do you do it for NYC employees? For all employees?

- Has a startup that's not doing this in NYC (and whether it causes any friction w/ your employees)

It seems a bit crazy to me to do it, esp. for a startup that's gunning hard, but I'm sure it's an NYC cultural thing. Just trying to understand the culture and how others handle it.","time":1432767973,"title":"How do other startups handle NYC 'Summer Fridays?'","type":"story"}],[8500131,{"by":"pillfill","descendants":146,"id":8500131,"kids":[8500305,8500281,8500257,8500262,8501302,8522307,8500542,8501968,8500233,8500911,8501246,8500995,8500814,8501040,8500453,8500697,8505063,8501353,8500379,8500195,8501298,8512341,8503785,8500403,8500837,8501099,8500251,8501190,8501081,8500227,8500477,8500249,8508285,8501290],"score":299,"text":"See @KennWhite: https://twitter.com/kennwhite/status/525110471733817344

Verizon Wireless is injecting a UID into all HTTP requests made on the VZW network, regardless of whether or not you've opted out of their Customer Proprietary Network Information (CNPI) options.

It's injected at the network level- So it tracks across browsers and ignores 'private browsing', do-not-track headers, overriding the UIDH in the client/curl, everything. My confirmation showing the headers only appearing in unprotected HTTP requests (disappearing when VPNed):

If you're on the VZW cell network and not using wifi, you can check your own ID here (via @j4cob):
