Yeah, it sounds like pure fearmongering to me. If your waiter or flight attendant is grumpy, are you going to lose your shit and act belligerent, or can you just chill and handle the situation maturely? This will never happen to 99.9999999%

Can you explain a scenario where the innocent customers get crushed under the wheels of the well oiled machine? I just don't think it's that hard to get on a plane and be reasonable for the time you're on there.

So, in plain English, what you're saying is to not obsess over fixing neuroses because it's an addiction in itself that leads to other negative traits?

But people didn't want to get vaxxed long before any mandates ever took effect. They don't want to get vaxxed because they are simply misinformed. They are misinformed by politicians (yes, mainly Republicans), they are misinformed

A product that is worn on one’s head potentially exploding or spontaneously causing a chemical fire due to to suboptimal environmental factors counts as a design flaw, at least in my book. Something that is used on people’s heads should not

Popularity is not a good a metric for comparing value. If we were to use it for choosing where to shop, the top choice would be Walmart [0]. This isn't to say that VSCode is bad, just that Vi/Vim being less popular doesn't me

So, will I have to sign a consent agreement every time I talk to a d*** wearing these glasses? Is this the "irl" equivalent of the cookie consent banner in the web browser? Heaven forbid. I want to be positive about technological

One of the features outlined in the article for this post was for the glasses to remember things that other people said. How would such other people who don't want to be recorded for these purposes opt out?

Are you using Mobius Sync for this? I'm tempted to try it for the above reasons, but I wish it was open source.

Having to use an ad-blocker for this purpose is a band-aid for a much deeper problem. Running a website isn't free and I want to support them by not blocking their ads. But when the ads are part of a scheme that targets my private and

So if I tell a friend a secret, and they plaster it on my wallpaper, and then I have a different friend over for dinner, my different friend is the one violating my privacy?

I don’t understand what you’re attempting to achieve with this. You’re weirdly abstracting about something that doesn’t need to be. People want to be able to have a private email correspondence about, for instance, dildos, and then not have

The problem with personalized ads is they give an unfair advantage to the seller. It’s like if you were to walk in to a car dealership and the dealer was given a 100 page file of information on you. Anyone with a basic understanding of huma
