In Japan, a lot of things don't take calls from VoiP (+81-050-xxxx-xxxx) numbers. Certain businesses and such won't accept them as contact info, either, as I discovered trying to rent my first apartment by myself.

I knew a guy who worked with stuff at Nasa programmed in Ada and who named his daughter Ada :)
Ah, yeah; hat would make sense
I get the feeling, but if the business has no say in getting recommended, aren't you just punishing businesses that may not even know this program exists? That would suck for very small businesses.
Edit: my brain was thinking recommendations not paid ads so please disregard.
I think it depends on the background. If coming from the computer gaming world, it wasn't necessarily all that impressive. If someone were particularly into Zelda or was console-only, I think it was probably seen as much better.
I could but it might freak the cats out (I am an overseas voter and vote by mail).
Next Monday, the 15th, is Marine Day and a public holiday here in Japan, so that's nice.
I was porting our old code from PHP to Go at a previous company. I laughed as I copied my then-six-year-old comment "I'm promised by xxxxx that this is a temporary measure ".

Asinine business logic can still make some things very hard to read and digest no matter how well-planned and well-written it is (particularly if it is rushed by the business meaning that engineers don't have time to do it well). As such, there are places where code can't/won't be self-documenting to a useful degree.
If someone really wanted to find the person, I imagine they'd find where the signal is coming from for that device, and just narrow from there. If it always goes to/from where John works and lives, it might well be John's phone.
