- novaRom 7y agoIf it's an extension of your memory, then why deliberately share it with others, with police, with FBI? There were many stories on HN how random people got into troubles because of this "feature".

This is why we remember plane crashes and ignore the numerous shower accidents that kill folks.
- MikusR 7y agoThere are even more stories of people getting into troubles just by walking, sitting, sleeping.
