What I really want is a Dropbox for all that structured data. I understand I can't really 'capture' Spotify, but I want some where I can actually put this stuff to work. IFTTT soft of captures this sentiment, but it's

That's an interesting way to think about it. It's true that in our daily lives we absolutely depend on privacy and are aware of it being compromised. Perhaps therein lies the real problem: for the most part these oversteps are ba

OK, I'll take your word for it. Everything I do is being tracked, recorded and passed around by companies big and small. Yep, got it. Anyone care to speculate on how we actually change this situation? Or is it that there's reall

It's interesting to hear everyone saying 'ah, I'm too old for Snapchat'. At face value I feel that way too, but I think there's something more going on here. Snapchat strikes me as a really unique modality. It&#x2

Would be nice to connect this to Twitter and get an update when a new one appears. Have you thought of doing that?

Thanks! That's quite good.

Seems like this article is sort of preaching to the choir around here. I'd be interested to hear if anyone on HN agrees with the Author's Guild or can make their argument in an interesting way.

With the stream of articles like this in the past few days I have been thinking the same thing. I have a feeling that it's already obvious to anyone doing real research — but I'm not paying close enough attention. Blog post oppor

Perhaps if everyone tagged their breakup moments on their fitbits then fitbit could mass-process the preceding few months / weeks to find a common pattern. You show up a few minutes early to the restaurant and your fitbit can just let

This seems to me to be even more true online, although we like to think that information technology has the opposite effect.

When I read the geohot article [1] earlier I was thinking that there was no way what he was working on was legal. Would be curious to have someone with more expertise weigh in though. Does this make comma.ai [1] or cruise [2] more acceptab

> end up in a position where we'll need to sell data later The point is that there's nothing structurally preventing you from selling data later. Unfortunately that's not a great reassurance, as much as one may want to be

That's a good example. But as you hint at: managing the content for that is probably pretty annoying for how simple it is.

Simple, general-purpose personal publishing is not really a part of the modern web in any straightforward way. There are plenty of special-purpose 'listmaking' services — but it's hard to imagine one tackling the problem in

A comet is an Urbit with a self-signed certificate. You're a part of the same network that everyone else is on. Comets are one of 2^128 possible addresses, so they're anonymous and disposable. For the time being it's poss
