Let's say they're taking a financial risk which incentivizes (some of) them to study the matter more closely than someone else that is not taking that risk. Does that mean they're smarter? I don't think so. It's a b

My main concern with HSS is actually not accidental fires. Instead, the HSS are usually all connected to the internet and receive closed-source updates. So if a malevolent actor were able to hack into one of these companies (and affect the

Discomfort is not discrete but continuous. I don't think you grow by maximizing discomfort infinitely. You'll still need capacity to handle and learn from it. Instead I read this as leaving your comfort zone to the level that you

One is likely an emergency of a necessary system (body) and the other is not an emergency of a much less necessary system (car). Not sure your analogy fits.

Isn't weight * distance proportional to gas consumption? Sure, you'll under-tax the more efficient cars but I don't necessarily see this as a problem.

Well, you run untrusted code in your local network. Then again, we all trust our "smart" devices even if we really don't. I suppose a separate network would be the safe option (if you trust your router). That said, have ther

You reveal it to a single (trustworthy) party that you want to reestablish contact with. Of course, this assumes you wouldn't want to reestablish contact with a non-trustworthy party.
