<p>How does requiring a company to delete info from a specific computer materially impact the ability for others to speak truth?<p>It feels like you’re talking purely philosophically and ignoring the nuance of our legal system.<p>SCOTUS, including right wing literalists, have held that Constitutional rights are not iron clad in all contexts.<p>Main Street seems to believe the first amendment is very broad, but then there’s the whole shouting fire in a crowded room. Instigating acts of violence and threats, etc.<p>Freedom from and freedom to are distinct concepts in our legal system.</p>

<p>Mad Men + CIA. I don’t watch much TV but I’d watch that.</p>

<p>The privacy risk is not the same and the convenience to mitigate is not there<p>I can leave my phone at home when I go out. In another room. Shut it off. I do all of these things quite regularly.<p>Do I go around and disable numerous smarthome gadgets for privacy or stick with my oh so terrible life without them? Bonus! I can avoid awkward conversations with my guests.<p>People buy products because we feel they help us be better. There’s little real utility towards bettering myself with a colorful, and extra power sucking, thermostat at home all the time.</p>

<p>Sure for hardware, real time, embedded use cases (and probably others), makes sense.<p>Does it matter for data analysis and most web apps, infra as code, etc? Which data scientists do you know fetishize how Python is laying out memory?<p>OOP is a hot mess. Yes, I know, you’re all very well versed in how to use it “right”, but the concept enables a mess. It’s the C of coding paradigms when it would be great to have a paradigm that pushes towards Rust, and reduces the chance for hot messes from the start.<p>Most of this work is organizing run of the mill business information. Why it works from a math perspective is more universally applicable and interesting anyway.</p>
