That's far too invasive. - I could be allergic to certain smells. - With traditional ads, I can cover my ears/eyes or turn away the channel, turn down the volume. All that's not easy with the nose. - The smell persists beyond

Thanks for clarifying. Even though you may not have bad intentions, there are several points of failures e.g. server logs falling into wrong hands, man-in-the-middle-attack (using http) etc. Maybe put a big disclaimer in red on top of every

If you analyse it as probability it makes a lot more sense than intuitively thinking about it. A login & a password combination can also be seen as a unique string combination and so is 2FA i.e. a 3 string combination. Not really multip

It's the same story in US too. Many startups are desperate to build a patent portfolio. Those who can afford the lawyer fee, throw out big incentives to employees to patent left & right. Much of the stuff is crass. After a while I
