    Well said! I've enjoyed cycling my whole life but it's only been about five years since I adopted cycling as my primary means of getting places. In that time I've come to realize how U.S. cities, especially cities established in the last 70 years or so, are laid out principally for cars. This has made me appreciate older cities as more accessible both by pedestrian and cycle traffic. As a cyclist I've come to adopt the mantra: "cities are for people". I wish we'd design our cities with that in mind.

    How big of a privacy breach is necessary before broader society realizes the inherent problems with these types of devices and generally begins to take privacy seriously? How much bigger or more brazen of abuses of privacy beyond the facebook/CA scandal does the public need to witness before people internalize that lots of entities won't behave morally (or even legally) once in possession of their data and, more broadly, that personal privacy is intrinsically important? It's demoralizing watching this shit continually happen.
