I'm almost vegan now, so I'm not their target market.

Last time I ate at Taco Bell was over six years ago, and yet they are following me!
How do they know?

AI won't be hindered by cognitive biases, experiences and emotions which distort human thinking. It'll be better off not being as complex as a human.

It's the same reason Google employees can vote each other up to support and defend Google. It's all self-serving.

Well, pulling strings to get free press on Wired (and Hacker News) will help.
I hate these manipulative articles.

Perhaps in 5-10 years, people are going to look back at your comment and think you are the nut.
I'm confident Assage knows what he's talking about more than you do.

Seriously folks, who cares. It's a minor change to gmail's workflow.
No really, think about it. It's just email.

What is the color of the fur of the cat who will be the first one to start chewing on your leg after you die alone at home and leave all of your pets without any food or water for days?

Re:Google play removed my productivity tracking app for spying

Spyware is typically unknown to the user, hence the word "spy". In this case, the developer is 100% transparent and users are paying for these features.
Tracking and accountability are accurate descriptions here.
Re:The Great Robocoin Rip-off: How We Lost $25,000 Buying a Robocoin ATM

Personally, I've tried five times to make small purchases with Bitcoin (this was several years ago). In all cases I was ripped off and never received product.
It's not going to be government regulations that kill Bitcoin, its the associations with illicit drugs, child pornography, and dishonesty of vendors like Robocoin.
