I think you’re right that this leads to increased efficiency. But in the case of the United States, we’re relying on a bit of inefficiency here to maintain freedom. I would suggest that there’s no difference between a dictatorship and an all-seeing government. Restricting the government is important in a free country, and making data on citizens difficult access is one of those restrictions we’ve been using.

I think it’s mostly because they’re told to.

A grand says that layoff letter was written by AI.

Some internet rando had a hypothesis that certain types of people actually view their own hypocrisy as a strength rather than a failing. It shows how much more powerful they are than others; others have to obey rules that they don’t. Hypocrisy is only viewed as a failing in other people.

Sorry to disappoint, but it was not. It was Double-Decker Pizza. Except this was a small local chain of two restaurants, not the one that you find on the internet today.

The number of bugs we encountered the last overseas flight we took were astounding. Anything from printing errors to baggage checkin not working to the inflight entertainment system needing rebooting.

There are so many layers of dependencies on everything it’s amazing it works at all.
