I wonder if this trend will expand to other goods, like when you "purchase" a car.

You might be licensed to operate the vehicle but restricted in specific interactions with it.

It seems the industry is moving in this direction, which is concerning due to the cost structure. It shifts control away from consumers and toward the IP owners of these products.

Tesla may be a notable example, where you're unable to make modifications or repairs to the car without a proper license.

Music has always been a great way to advertise drugs and other criminal acts, however, they never get chosen to get arrested.

I would also agree to this in MANY fronts, not just software. As a kid I dreamt of building a robot at ~6 years old. Just this past weekend, I helped my God-son build one (a solar kit for kids) and it was on sale for $10.

Things are generally more affordable now than they used to be for the masses, and more easier to achieve and prototype, in less turn around time, with 1 day shipping, or the mall-ification of society.

Cool stuff really.

My biggest concern regards the balance between privacy and monitoring is that children nowadays (and even adults) are highly enabled to commit social bullying. Nothing is really disciplining them properly, causing recurring “bowling for Columbine” events we see almost bi-monthly.

It doesn’t help that foreign states are probably working to purposely inhibit or even disable American society as a community function. (See news about Russian state companies and Facebook manipulation from more recent news)

Privacy is important, but public safety has a higher priority.

The biggest risk is abuse of the data, not the basic mission of these monitoring services

Do pay walls count as a “fuck you” pattern?

How about free trials with credit card submissions and having difficult “cancel subscription” work flows?

Definitely believable since sustained stress is highly related to sustained blood pressure issues. Sustained stress onto your heart damages your heart and other organs such as kidney and your liver. Ask any doctor who has even remote specialization or expertise with heart disease.

Stress is directly correlational to heart disease.

If you do experience palpitation or risk of high blood, I recommend you regularly check your blood pressure 3 times a day (morning, mid-afternoon, and evening)

Please note that I am not a doctor, but have been consulted by them after expressing concerns after prolonged periods of stress and lack of sleep due to overwork in both work and school/side-projects.

Note that your health and life is more important than work or that side project you are hustling on; and you should be able to ask for sick time off, if you need a health reset. I myself feared from taking time off because of fear of getting behind on projects; and it worsened my situation.

Be sure to work out regularly and maintain a relatively healthy life style.

Too much of anything is bad for you; work, success, and stress included.

If you are less than 30; which a lot of FAANG and startups prey on, then your tolerance to working long hours is pretty high.

Honestly, I know of someone who was involved with the San Bernardino shooting. And the shooter was not the Muslim man that was a co-worker of my friend who was there during the attack. The guy who did it was light skinned (not dark), looked of Caucasian background based on skin, and was more than 1 foot taller than the accused assailant. The media explained a different story.
