That’s what the article says but articles say a lot of things and I’d rather hear from someone more enlightened...

Will insurance cover this if the building is no longer safe for residents?

Will this ultimately lower the revenue from sponsored content if so many people are tripping over themselves to pay companies to post their content?

Ultimately this is a good thing for the planet and our dwindling resources, but too bad for those whose retirement depends on fresh new taxpayers being created in increasingly larger numbers.

> Second, just because it doesn't describe your government now doesn't mean it won't in the future, unfortunately. Consider examples of a 1920s German, or a 1960s Iranian (the old regime was oppressive too, but in different ways), or a 2000s citizen of Poland.

This is the risk averse argument against certain technologies. If you believe your government won’t change and are willing to take that bet, you can lean into technologies very hard and reap the benefits.

Of course, if you think there may be a day where your government will change and use technologies against you, you could live out in the boonies and never even touch a computer, and thus get no benefits from emerging tech.

It’s a trade off between being at the bleeding edge and being as secure and private as possible. Personally, I have made my decision. Could it be my undoing one day if government decides I’m guilty of everything? Sure, but I doubt it will happen. I’ll take the bet.

If you live under a government where those examples are a reason to hide, then in the eyes of that government you are technically a criminal. Doesn’t describe my government.

Even under the most oppressive governments though, there will still be a sizable majority that doesn’t have anything to hide and can feel secure using most technology, and they’ll be fine.

How much?

The thing is that for most people avoiding this kind of tech and platforms is unlikely to have any kind of payoff for them. Life is too short.

Most peoples lives are as simple as going to school and work, raising a family, taking vacations, paying bills, and then passing away.

There will never be a moment where they can say “Yes! My avoidance of Facebook and Alexa for all my life has finally paid off! Hahaha!”

The only people who can say that are people who have good reasons to hide: drug dealers with multiple lines of business, professional black hat hackers, home grown terrorists, life insurance fraudsters, etc.

The average person has nothing of interest to offer except more information about them in order to better perceive trends and distribute ads to them so that maybe they buy something.

I sniffed the packets and didn’t find anything particularly worrying.

10 years is short enough that no one would ever purchase rights to anything copyrighted, they would just wait it out. With 95 year copyright that doesn’t happen and creators would be paid.

Why is that dystopian? That actually sounds pretty awesome and would be great if it reduces package thefts.

Any case studies?

I once found a vulnerable API endpoint for a staffing company and ended up exporting their whole client database.

I don't think the conversations are for sale.

Not really sure what the solution is then. And it's easy to see why companies wouldn't bothering doing much about it.

I actually do, for wood working. Won't be breathing in all that sawdust.

Respirators aren't all that expensive, you can buy one at a hardware store. Why wouldn't miners just bring their own?

The horizontal scroll actually isn't that bad, but what killed it was using italics for the entire text. What the hell???

I find positive reviews are usually useless. Every positive review is the same, but every negative review is negative in it's own way.

Don't see why it's necessary to condescend people this way, the fact is some people just don't care about people enough to remember their names. Have you heard of Ian Gibbons?

Pisses off a lot of people.

Not sure why the downvotes. If you own a stock that has to resort to a reverse split that’s probably bad news for you, but invest however you want.

The people after 1995 are the next generation after millennials.

It’s not that hard if the lemonade stand has been pumping out at least $150/month in profit for the past year or two.

That would be damn near everyone, unless you mean people that don’t remember 9/11 are millennials, which is false. No one born in the 2000s could be a millenial, you must have been “growing up” into adolescence during the first decade of the new millennium, and must have witnessed the shift from the analog to the modern digital era.

Any benchmarks?

Crypto, options, and margin investing for the unwary masses.

We do not all have Slack on our devices.

Can you give an objective example of the magnitude of difference in performance?

Instead of having files that apply styles globally to your application, the styles live down in files or data structures as close as possible to the component it applies to, where it belongs.

I find that the people with the most vitriol reserved for css-in-js concepts tend to be those who have exclusively developed front ends for the web and never on any other platform. I wonder if others have made the same observation. Perhaps they should expand their minds.

Nope.

The equivalent argument is that if one branch of a bank gets robbed they should be fined to near bankruptcy, which would almost certainly cause a drop in shareholder value.
