Comment ultimately govt regulation gets you (Score 1) 67

This reminds me of the early days of wifi when the idea was that everyone should just share their wifi with everyone else. You could provision guest wifi or a shared wifi ssid on your local router.

In the end that all failed because the govt could come after your for some stranger using your wifi to do something illegal.

So in the end it all becomes centralized and managed by big companies that have the resources to comply with all the different regulations and we pay the cost of all the employees that have to track all the differences in privacy laws in every state or whatever.

Comment "labor supply"? (Score 1) 235

As an individual, I don't see why I would be concerned about a "moderate reduction in labor supply". While that may not be a positive outcome for the part of society that employs labor, it sure seems like a positive outcome to the individual: fewer hours spent working. I would love to work 1.3hrs less per week.

It has to do with the fact that companion dogs (pet dogs) live a lifestyle that is strongly correlated to their owners', so it's important to gather all the info about your lifestyle.

"None of these could have anything to do with dog aging, and therefore this study is not about dog aging, it's about collecting sensitive information about people for some political purpose." is quite a leap of logic there.
