I can imagine paranoid HN users filling their shoes with gravel to avoid big tech surveillance
"I'm (ow!) sticking it (oh!) to the (ow!) man!"
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.

Whoa - that's a heck'in LOT of updoots. I actually kill my accounts after a couple months on every service and start over with a new nym. I don't want the (increasingly automated) cyber stalkers to have an easy time of it. Old cypherpunk trick from the 1990s.
For the young'uns in the audience, is there a good primer on defense against cyberstalkingbots?
You need to kill your accounts after a couple months on every service and start over with a new nym.
Haven't been cyberly stalked by a bot since the 90s

"People don't want their movement tracked" "Any officer can clock their speed" At least have the integrity and honesty to admit you just don't want to pay tickets for speeding or parking illegally.
It is well established that the US government conducts mass surveillance on its population. I don’t know what government surveillance is like where you’re from. I actually prefer a world where humans enforce laws rather than automated systems (in general). While officers aren’t perfect, they can use their own discretion to enforce laws and that sounds better to me than living in a world with cameras watching us and i…
I personally want to live in a country where 40,000+ people don't die from traffic violence every year.
I also think the subjective enforcement of laws by uniformed officers has a terrible record in this country. It strains credulity that anyone would trust a police officer more than a speed camera. I personally think it says something about their actual concerns with oppressive government.
Despite your apparent belief the government is already doing mass surveillance that impacts you, you specifically have a problem with traffic enforcement. Presumably you own a registered vehicle with a serial number and have a drivers license. Forgive me for being skeptical of "concerns about privacy" that specifically entail traffic enforcement but aren't strong enough to forgo vehicle ownership.
I don't think anyone's personal paranoia about traffic enforcement or their personal consumer preference to use a private automobile should take priority over reducing the thousands of deaths and injuries on our roads.

Everybody’s doing persona management these days.

> People who obscure their license plates should have their cars impounded and licenses revoked People pay tax on the fuel, pay tax on the car, pay tax on the parts and servicing, yet you want the state to be able to identify the vehicles? How many deaths and injuries do the vehicles cause in comparison to other deaths and injuries? Take the NRA and shooter deaths and injuries, or even knife crime, those people dont…
Is your "privacy stolen" when you register your vehicle? If you were so worried about privacy you wouldn't have a vehicle. Just admit you don't have a problem with privacy. You have a problem with automated enforcement. And yes automated enforcement reduces deaths and injuries. That's a well documented and proven fact. Indulging your paranoia and personal consumer preferences is not worth a single injury or death.
>indulging you paranoia
Considering how many people are tortured by employees of the state and killed, makes your statement nonsense but keep drinking the states coolaid.

Maybe people don’t want their movement tracked and stored in a database. Any officer can clock their speed with a radar gun or give them a ticket for violating any of the hundreds of laws in the motor vehicle code, so I don’t think someone that obscures their license plate is of the impression that they’re above traffic enforcement.
"People don't want their movement tracked" "Any officer can clock their speed" At least have the integrity and honesty to admit you just don't want to pay tickets for speeding or parking illegally.
>"People don't want their movement tracked" Where can we find these free societies, and how can we get there? Because if you live in the Unites States, you are most definitely being tracked by a dizzying array of private and public organizations.

#100Gait detection makes these tricks useless.
It much easier to defeat gait detection than it is facial recognition. A pebble to put inside your shoe is very cheap.
