I'm in your tech-paranoid boat as well, @Daybreak!
  6:29pm David in London:

Sadly, my company has huge amounts of our data infrastructure run through Google. Every time someone says “Oh you can pull that from Google Big Query”, I hear Mark Hurst’s voice in my head and have to say three Hail Techtonics under my breath.

I’m following Rana Faroohar now, because of her interview with Mark. This is how it goes.
  6:34pm David in London:

It’s not even coming here, it’s already arrived. The Metropolitan Police have recently deployed facial recognition software in the city centre. Sigh.

Avatar 🤖 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:46pm Handy Haversack:

As awesome as those Reflectacles are, and as super cool as it is of Scott to donate them here, it's a solution that, really, is only there for the affluent -- not the people who, say, only have internet access through the Google spy LinkNYC towers.
