Why does an individual customer care about Amazon gaining mass adoption? What use cases does this exactly help the user with? Why would I ever have an Amazon device operating outside the field of my home WiFi network?

This being opt-out is one of those big glaring no-no's.

What a fantastic opportunity for Amazon to divert the conversation away from the other glaring no-no's concerning this concept. For instance, absolutely nobody has every said "I want to share my internet connection with my strange

For folks with kids, I'd like to add the Finnish-Japanese-Dutch TV-series "Moomin." It is an iconic TV show here in Finland and generally quite good quality. It is of course a bit old by now. https://en.wikipedia.o

Do you know if there's any of his books in English? Granted I only did a quick sweep of Amazon and Google but found little.

Yes. I bet some news agency or other will run a story based on this, and then I’ll have to hear from laymen how ”cyber criminals actually have a lot of honor in their daily workings.”

Problem is that it's a super difficult language where you can't draw any help from any other languages you might now. Plus it's obscure and if you move out of Finland you'll likely never use it again. I can see why peopl

Agreed, though the big thing missing from the Wikipedia article is the root data collection method - cable tapping - which makes all the difference in explaining an ubiquitous surveillance system.

Fun fact: Mice can only survive 48 hours without food, so not eating for 24 hours is quite long for them.

No, it's just a manifestation of the rags to riches-trope. Please don't bring this "aggressively looking for things to crucify people with"-culture onto HN.

That is a philosophical question, of which politics is just a derivative.

Politics is not the root value of all things and so this cannot be true.

Sounds like you’ve misunderstood stoicism as a concept, but curious how you approach life post-stoicism?
