Disappointed that the author went straight to the cliche:this technology is bad because isn’t perfect and here and can be used in nefarious ways.

His argument has been tackled extensively by academics, techies and journos. The author’s opening but could be classed as plagiarism in an academic setting for how familiar its beats are.

There are many critiques of Amazon survelliance/tracking products and wish the authors would’ve engaged them.

Hopefully the author gets feedback and grows from this

I was disappointed by this. It’s just a caricature of only one side - It’s the easiest form of come. Almost things that are innovative will not be best on the first iteration. Why not offer (funny) ideas on how to improve it?

Yes, you make some good points about the purposeful dominance of a certain aspect of Russian culture in Ukraine.

These people don’t mention that Ukraine schools only teach Russian Literature. There was no Ukrainian Literature. No World Literature. They don’t mention that Russian language classes are the default in schools. That many teachers discourage the learning subjects in Ukrainian language. That many Ukrainians do not have any knowledge of their ancestors because of Leaders in the Soviet Union did not want them to have any feeling of nationality.

There is a reason that Russia is funding Russian learning Schools in Kazakhstan.
