This must be in California, where supposedly you only need a laptop and a ponytail to get $100K. The rest of the world, you won't get $75K until you well into your IT career.
It is nice to be independently wealthy and have an option to stop working. It is nice to always be security aware, double check everything, and never add distant relatives to your contact list without first speaking to them in person.
1.Your boss wants to know where you are on your sick day 2. Your jealous spouse wants to know if you are in the office working late 3. Your parents want to know why you are late for your daily check-in call 4. Your congregation wants to know if you are checking other parishes 5. A technology-aware burglar wants to know how long they have to finish loading your stuff into the van
This will lead to "UK import grade cryptography", where the rest of the world will have security, and UK will have back doors they wanted so badly. Plus, thanks to Brexit it isn't like they are that big of a market.
Have you ever seen lowered Honda Civic with oversized muffler, drop-in blidning HIDs, base-only stereo, and a painted plywood spoiler? As much as I would like to call that illegal, you still can and do see them being sold as Civics.
No, my peashooter is not going to stop any of this. However, buying off people with guns in US is astronomically expensive. You need Koch/Soros money to pull it off, and even then it doesn't work every time as last elections demonstrated. So for now, and probably in foreseeable future, we don't have to worry about people with bags of money also acquiring guns. It is one or another.
Now, wait a second. You are conflating two important issues here. Issue #1 is what people with guns know about you. Issue #2 is what people with bags of money know about you. While these both related to privacy, they are not the same orders of magnitude in importance. We can also talk about people with guns talking to people with money.
Actually, this not how it works in the automotive world. Car registration is tied to VIN number and I can replace every single component in the car, save unibody (or frame+shell) and still call it Ford. I actually can turn this into business venture, called performance tuning or customization, and sell these modified cars as Fords to other people.
Do you think MS would accommodate? Sure, sales would promise you anything to close the deal, but would it actually get delivered or are you going to be stuck having to block all that crap at the firewall?
I disagree with you. Equality of Opportunity is the American Dream. Rags to riches. Work hard to do well. Equality of of Outcomes is shared misery. It is what Soviets had - no matter what you do you won't get ahead.
Now, these are principles. In practice we don't have equality of opportunity. The system is rigged to favor entrenched players. You are a lot more likely to be born into money than work your way into it.
To me, Equality of Outcomes is problematic not because it establishes the floor (you won't do worse than that), but because it also establishes a ceiling (you shouldn't do better than that). I think you should be talking about social contract, safety nets and so on instead of equality. Fundamentally, you will never reach equality because individual players are not equal. Some are smart, some are dumb, some run fast some run slow. No matter what metric you apply, you can't have everyone 'above average'.

Sounds like a great start up idea, I cased a house that should provide us with seed funds.
By definition, half the people minus one are below average intelligence.
What will happen to them when automation overlords arrive?

Incomplete list of potential emergencies:

2. Your jealous spouse wants to know if you are in the office working late
3. Your parents want to know why you are late for your daily check-in call
4. Your congregation wants to know if you are checking other parishes

refugees from San Francisco will come *here* wearing their assless leather pants. That's worrisome.
I have seen San Francisco on TV, and this is exactly how all of them dress all the time.

Even after all of this, they still know about your loli obsession.
You don't have to convince people to buy products, you just have to convince people to buy advertising.
Using this definition, Google is very successful advertising company.
This is just using and not disclosing this practice: https://www.ftc.gov/system/fil...

It gets even more insidious - a number of apps will capture all audio in the vicinity and identify sub-hearing audio codes in shows and advertising.
Advertising decoupled from actual measurable results sometimes during 90s. I don't know if ineffective even starts to describe it.

Damn it, you telling me this now? So where one goes these days to get a pint?
Time to short the stock, picking up a political fight with POTUS is extremely unwise.

Your impotent rage makes its normally bitter taste much more palatable.
So how is the view from the inside epistemic event-horizon you inhabit?
So should such equality of outcomes be completely independent of individual's actions?
But the fourth one stayed up. An' that's what your gonna get, lad -- the strongest tower in these islands.
