This product doesn't look to me to be compelling enough to switch away from Finder and ranger. I use Finder when I want to browse pictures or other rich media and ranger when I just want to browse source code and other text files from the command line using vim-like hotkeys.

It matters when the tool you're using doesn't respect your privacy, yea.

Agreed. It'd be quite difficult to measure whether or not someone learns something new, anyway, because of the variety of things available to learn (large and small). If we're talking about learning entirely new skills, though, yea, obviously a cashier will probably not need to learn any significant new skills over the course of their career.

As always, people who do make learning new things a part of their life's rituals will generally be more successful than those who do not.

Nice username, by the way.

I believe you're right. He won't stop it. But he also won't let it dictate his actions, unless he's really foiled us all and every character of his every tweet is meticulously data-driven. I doubt it though!
