I could imagine it ending with a court ruling that people are responsible to protect their own personal documents which... yeah, that would muddy the waters in a world where every website expects to see your ID.

Furthermore, if the source of your value and wealth is that you have an app, what does it mean when anyone can easily build an app?

One day we might see a UI toolkit (so many of our modern problems are because our UI toolkits suck; my hot take) with deep AI integration and then apps will just be some microservices on the backend and the AI UI on the front that responds to natural speech and can adjust its display however the user requests.

I've seen this mentioned a few times though, so I think maybe it's more complicated than this?

I wouldn't like doing it past the point of exhaustion for low wages and with poor treatment though.

I've always felt laws should be applied equally to all people without regard to those things.

Probably because it will be a felony to do so. Or, the threat of a felony at least.

And this is because it is very embarrassing for companies to have society openly discussing how bad their software security is.

We sacrifice national security for the convenience of companies.

We are not allowed to test the security of systems, because that is the responsibility of companies, since they own the system. Also, companies who own the system and are responsible for its security are not liable when it is found to be insecure and they leak half the nations personal data, again.

Are you seeing how this works yet? Let's not have anything like verifiable and testable security interrupt the gravy train to the top. Nor can we expect systems to be secure all the time, be reasonable.

One might think that since we're all in this together and all our data is getting leaked twice a month, we could work together and all be on the lookout for security vulnerabilities and report them responsibly.

But no, the systems belong to companies, and they are solely responsible. But also (and very importantly) they are not responsible and especially they are not financially liable.

This demonstrates they see ICE as their fix all police force, and that they are willing to deploy ICE to do whatever they think needs to be done.

He's an interesting guy. Seems to be one who does things the way he thinks is right, regardless of corporate profits.

All summation roads lead to normal curves. (There might be an exception for weird probability distributions that do not have a mean; I was surprised when I learned these exist.)

Life is full of sums. Height? That's a sum of genetics and nutrition, and both of those can be broken down into other sums. How long the treads last on a tire? That's a sum of all the times the tire has been driven, and all of those times driving are just sums of every turn and acceleration.

I'm not a data scientist. I'm just a programmer that works with piles of poorly designed business logic.

How did I do in my interview? (I am looking for a job.)

Coupling healthcare and employment makes it harder for agents to move and trade "freely" in the "free market".

So, I say again. The things that happen in a healthy free market are not happening in our society.
