Hi Patrick, in this instance you would be incorrect in the claims that Deleteme "forces" companies to delete your data, its just not true. Data deletion requests are not an absolute right of the data subject and companies maintain a great number of reasons to refuse the request and continue to retain your data

I never needed an app to simply buy groceries in Lidl. But now they force me to have it, by introducing discounts and vouchers available only on that app. It's not obnoxiously intrusive, all I need to do is to whip out the phone and scan it near cash register. But I'm not comfortable with this. Without this app I will pay at least 10% more for basic groceries. With it my personal information is being farmed and thrown around everywhere, to any advertisers they have contracts with. It could be like 800 third parties. Lidl is a massive corporation. No wonder I'm getting a ton of spam calls from call-centres and spam e-mail. It's like I NEED burner e-mails and burner phone numbers now, even though I'm not a criminal. I need them registered with made-up, fake information and just dump these fucking IoT applications in there, where I don't care about the spam and data mining.

You know, making labels is hard. You have to like, cut up a piece of paper, write on it by hand, then use tape to stick it to something. What if we had the Printinator, a new revolutionary device that can print whatever you want on little sticky strips of paper. Then you can use our app (which requires an internet connection to the cloud to function) on your phone to connect to the device and print labels. And as part of the subscription bundle (required to use the app) we'll ship you a roll of sticky strips of paper for your device and the ink cartridge for it as well once a month. Please forget that label makers exist!

To be fair, there are some things where designs could probably be improved that we just...take for granted because they worked. Like how for the longest time can openers created jagged edges on the can 'lid', and now newer openers break the seal instead of biting into the metal-so that not only are there no jagged edges but the can can technically be reused. That said, most innovation in everyday objects has already been made since we...you know, use them every day.

Without reading more into it, I would guess the patent was on the method for calculating surge pricing.

It's entirely possible that it used lots of data and lots of work to come up with a usable model.

I mean seriously they have traffic jams in this closed loop system. If you absolutely can't have people walking, rent a bus to run on surface streets and ditch the tunnel all together.

Segways are another good example of what the whole video is demonstrating: tech in search of a use. If you ask "Why don't more people use bicycles?" the top answers are "Too far, no protection from weather, limited baggage, and you have to park it somewhere." Segway solved none of those. It was a work around for those with physical limitations, but came with the baggage of being more expensive and needing to charge. They did however rethink what suburban middle-class 6-year-olds want as a toy. Hoverboards still sell quite well.

She said it actually was helpful at first, because she has ADHD and she can get so focused on her current task she would go 6-8 hours without drinking any water. The bottle flashing helped her remember to actually drink something. There is a way to manually add extra beverages like juice or water from other sources. It helped with her disability… until she got used to the flashing and started ignoring it. She decided to just get a bigger water bottle (the spark was very small) and set an alarm on her phone instead.

Ha! Exactly! I worked for Organic around 2000. We had all of these new tech startups wanting websites. One was a barter website where you would list stuff or inventory you had and you could barter to exchange (100,000 pens, for a fax machine, or whatever). No one remembers Econ 101 where people stopped bartering thousands of years ago and started carrying tokens because bartering is so inefficient. But, to your point, you would think "smart" people would pay to not get screwed. But, on the off chance something works that the "old people" don't get (and to be fair, I would not have worked at a company named Yahoo), people seem very willing to toss way many millions for the chance at the next Google or Facebook. The pet rock did make that guy millions. Trippy, huh?!

I finished the first variety pack I bought, and then ordered a second smaller one, thinking it might be better. It was not.

Ironically, a military is like the only scenario in which logging the hydration levels of thousands of people might actually be useful. If a general knew when their soldiers were dehydrated, that would actually help. Of course that would require tracking more than water intake, you'd have to track sweat, but you get my point. If you know when you are thirsty, you know when to drink. If your thirst is logged, water supply logistics can be better managed for large numbers of people.

There was a time when the capability of computers was far behind what various industries required or was prohibitively expensive. It was discouraging to be approached to help companies automate, but the cost and end result simply wasn’t feasible. Shopping with my millennial Son the other day, his words “ I just want a fucking tooth brush, all these things for sale have apps, and electric motors, and a bunch of BS, where can I buy A tooth brush ?” I’ve been reviewing current state of Quantum computing development.

*AEROSPACE ENGINEER HERE: Love your comment* There's an actual technological term for this sort of crap. Its called *_"zombie technology."_* Zombie technology is any technology that has previously died or is already dead at the idea stage and people keep trying to bring it back to life with advertising spin. To be fair sometimes (and its very very rare) a zombie tech actually comes to life and does something because someone actually gave it some NEW PARTS to be somehow complete. In that case the zombie tech changes and gets relabelled *Frankenstein tech.* I think your son is right there's going to be a gigantic backlash against technology. Remember a few years ago when there was a huge push towards EVERYTHING being connected to the internet. CLAIMS like your fridge would know when you ran out of juice or milk and order more. *What happened when everyone worked out it didn't work?* I think AI is great for some tasks because of the underlying tech its based on. Things like image analysis (the 'G' in GPU is for graphics) will be huge with climate change but as for all the other nonsense claims its a disaster. I work in control systems and automation and I am constantly correcting people on what it wont do. Its not going to affect manufacturing, mining, water supply, water treatment or energy generation at the raw level but it might affect things like water management because that links to image analysis for agriculture. It will be huge in mineral exploration because that also involves image analysis. So I expect it will be great for comparative tasks and completely useless for a lot of other stuff. In the end I think its going to be a bigger bust than the DOT-COM debacle and its going to cause massive economic upheaval because so many people are going to lose and lose huge.

There's an episode of Pinky and the Brain where Brain takes out a huge loan to build a casino. He adamantly insists that even the internal lumber that nobody will see must be made of high-quality mahogany instead of normal lumber. He insists that the main attraction be the one game he likes. He explodes the budget and only manages to make the casino work by giving in on the demand for the games people actually want. The Juicero is this episode, but for a product even more overengineered than load-bearing mahogany, less popular than an unfun game in a casino, and without the final concession. It's crazy to me that it happened in real life.
