How could someone find a recruiter like the author? I mean, I'm just starting a job-search and the top HackerNews story's about how prospective employers ought to be looking for applications like mine! I'd love to talk…
So you'd see applicants like those that the article describes as being very desirable?
Seems inevitable enough that we may have to accept it and try to work within the context of (what we'd tend to think of today as) mass-spying. I mean, even if we pass laws to offer more protections, as computation gets…

Yeah, the idea to use random-selection instead of keeping track of generation-history seems reasonable. The idea of guardrails from perfect-balancing seems less obvious to me. For example, say someone wants to generate…

Yeah, looks like you're right: [waste-heat recovery systems](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_heat_recovery_unit ). Guessing that there are two main scenarios there: 1. A leaky house where positive-pressure causes…
Have you explored the effects of a localized positive-pressure system? Like, say the positive-pressure system has a duct that pumps outside-air directly to locations where a resident spends a lot of them time -- like…
Seems like the big drawback of the positive-pressure approach would be flushing the heating/cooling out, too (as you've said in the article). That drawback would seem to be proportional the flowrate of the…

What was the overall point of the talk? I get the sense that the talk was meant as a rebuttal to something, but I'm not exactly sure what. Some of the points come off as disconnected.
