Definitely agree with what you're saying, though I guess I'm saying you don't need to limit yourself to a particular subset of reviewers.
Given the dark pattern around email, I immediately assumed your monetization was going to be via selling ads or personal data - I see that might not be the case, however I think that not making this very clear from the start is consumer unfriendly, particularly when your customer base is a self-described sleep-deprived individual who probably has mental health issues (which describes me, FWIW).
Joel does stoic tough guys with a dead-pan sense of humor extremely well and doesn't stand out as miscast in the things I see him in.
Many people consider the day-to-day grind of a job as being akin to death; for OP and similar people, these daily tasks are the same thing
The Conservatives (aka Tories) are conservatives. The Labour party are also conservatives as much of the voting public in the uk is small-c conservative and also authoritarian.
If, as is widely (self) reported, many mods and power users interact with reddit via 3rd party apps; we won't see the true impact of the API changes until they're active.
I'm a Relay user, and was gold until I cancelled yesterday... will not be re-subscribing if things continue on their current trajectory
I am not looking forward to its demise, and I am sure there are many others looking on in horror at what they're doing to it.
this is a symptom of the site redesign/official app (presumably, I don't use it) - you don't see this behaviour in old.reddit or in the unofficial apps (I use Relay Pro).
Privacy in this discussion can mean different things, where there are definite overlaps, but also distinction:
* privacy of action (being sure that no one is watching what I'm doing) * privacy in communication (being sure that my priviliged information isn't compromised)
We should be concerned with the second; the first is already lost
How do you propose putting that cat back in the bag?
I also think that if we had legislated for privacy, supposing that we had realised its important early enough, what would that battle look like? I expect it would go as well as the war against drugs; if nothing else miniaturisation makes it practically unenforceable anyway, and legislation might protect you against individual harm but would do nothing against state level, or large corporation, action.
> If I walk onto your property and stare in your windows, if "physical security" is important but "privacy" isn't, why should you be allowed to stop me? I'm not threatening you
Given that we are unable to discern intent prior to action (when that intent is only manifest in thought), strangers lurking are always going to be a different problem to strangers peeking; it's analagous to copyright law vs. property law.
> Or perhaps you'd be fine if I just did it from the public sidewalk with a telephoto lens aimed at your bedroom?
I'm not saying that I'm immune to our societies' privacy hangups; but ideally I should be - I do think we should try and stop judging others for harmless actions.
Also, what does it mean to free from arbitrary interferrence with privacy? Interferrence implies more than observation, in my view.
Yes, I would argue that controlling information access to property should not be considered a fundamental right - in that it's practically un-enforceable for privacy purposes already; I do think there should be an expectation that you can walk around your property without fear of bumping into some stranger though.
Clearly it's not as cut and dried as that, as physical security is required to ensure that you can have information privacy too, but I think it's important to maintain the distinction.
These days there can be no such expectation, and we need to separate out discussion of day-to-day privacy from "if bad actors intercept my communication bad things happen".
We should aggressively maintain the security of privilaged communication, and not stress so much about day to day privacy in our lives; stop gossiping and judging others for actions that do not harm others, whilst allowing them necessary privacy for transactions that should remain privilaged.
> a city where most or all amenities (grocery stores, pharmacies, entertainment, public services) are within a 15-minute walk or bike ride
and then spends the rest of the article talking as if you'd never leave those 15 miniute neighborhoods and that you have to work there too.
Feels like the author really doesn't agree with the concept but doesn't want to say so; their argument seems quite bad-faith to me.

I'd consider getting one if I could attach it to my existing monitor; I'm not replacing a good and perfectly functional monitor with a new one to get a "let's see what the market thinks of this" gimick.
