UBI needs to be framed more as a dividend. It isn't the safety net. It is profit sharing.

Here's how you find new music: peer to peer. Soulseek is what I recommend. The value is unlocked when you search for something relatively niche. You'll find users that have what you're looking for and can then browse their shared directory and download other stuff that you haven't heard of but appears interesting. If you like what you find, buy it. P2P is life.

Smart phones also leak data. While you didn't mean this, I do think there's some sympathy here - the people that don't care about their data being out there because they 'have nothing to hide' probably feel the same way with their genetic data being out there.

23andME need to figure out a follow-on product to get the folks that have already taken the base test to purchase. Otherwise they have no new market to address.

Really dude? Semantic much.

10 BPs.. Also if they're letting the fraudsters continue to use the service (why wouldn't they if they're generating risk-free fee income to KitSplit), the fraudsters are likely more active the typical users. So if 1/1000 users are fraudsters and fraudsters are 10x more active than regular users, odds are 1 in 100 that your gear gets stolen. Ludicrous.

Are people upvoting this or have several people simply tried to post it?

They're protocol. Without a trusted party in the middle, there isn't a market.

Pay for it or forego it. Don't steal.

I think we should legalize and regulate personally.
