    Super, let’s just tsk tsk some more at China and ignore the surveillance authoritarianism we’re building ourselves.https://twitter.com/TheEconomist/status/1112778211262332928 …

        The difference is our lack of privacy is voluntary (kinda) while theirs is wildly overstated by propaganda

        Is it getting worse or better? Probably worse.

        I bet they're gonna slide it just under the skin on the inside of a wrist so that it doesn't seem at all intrusive. It's not like they want to control you, or uspet you in any way.

        I don't quite understand this take. Are people ignoring the surveillance system in the west? It's right there in the Economist article, and I seem to hear about it constantly (though I may be in a bubble). Should we not tsk-tsk authoritarian surveillance when it's in China?

        It is possible to be critical of both at the same time.

        The article is new but that company has been around for 3 years at least. What’s changed? Or better, what have people suddenly realised?

        Dont think this has anything to do with productivity. Most productive work requires a lot of focus which in return needs a feeling of security & peace - being watched bursts that isolation bubble! Possible backfire: Only psychopaths & pretenders will be working.
