Like many people, I'm in the habit of resting my hands on the keyboard. On a Macbook with a touch bar, I'm constantly performing random actions (often starting Siri) by mistake. No doubt with time I could learn not to do this, but I'm not willing to pay extra and have to relearn using the keyboard, for no significant advantage.
Ignorance assumes those cameras are assigned to people.
No, the article itself says that 72% of the 14 trillion cameras we supposedly now have are "handheld cameras" while only 3% are "security". That's 1,300 handheld cameras per person, and is clearly nonsense.
A venture capital company that gets its numbers so wrong is not where I would invest my money.
In most cases there's no good reason to prove your identity. What you need to prove is your right to do whatever it is you're doing. I don't want to give an online store the information that would let them buy things with my credit card, or which could be stolen and misused by others.

He argued that writing a program which could be linked with readline violated the GPL even if you didn't include readline, because it was a derivative work.
Here in the UK I bought an emergency phone for 10 pounds along with a 10 pound prepayment. The Sim will expire if I don't make a call at least once every three months, but other than that if I don't use it it won't cost anything.
If the worst that can happen is a wrong pixel in a computer game, then that's fine. But if I'm analysing data to be published in a scientific paper, dividing by zero means an error in my program, and I want to know about it and fix it. It doesn't really matter whether it gives a nice error message or a core dump, but it must be noticed.
