Absolutely right. Privacy was an Enlightenment concept granted to so-called "Enlightenment thinkers" which were really just egotistical white Europeans. It was a mistake for a country as great as the USA to think that privacy should be appropriated from a gray and troubling past.

I recently found a very practical "thing strapped to shoe". While cleaning your hardwood or tile floor, strap a flashlight to your foot and allow it to cast oblique light across the surface. Dirt will immediately be evident on account of the shadows the dirt makes.

What is YCombinator's take for their 100k investment? Also, it seems like YCombinator sells businesses as a product, not product as a business. Like their marketing on the website is all geared to investing in a business, not investing in a product that leads to a business. That seems to be the 21st century trend. Can you explain this dichotomy in today's market? It seems kinda fake.

Why do you say "attempting to teach my daughter programming" and not "I am teaching my daughter programming"? You make it seem like she's not interested.

I would think this author is on the fringe, as current society wants gender-equality, not gender-blindness.
