The question is... do we really want to go where Google / Chrome want to bring us?
It could even be a possibility to be thankfull if it goes a bit slowlier, so we can pay a bit of attention before stumbling because we don't look at the road.

By allowing sandboxed programs to run within the operating system, eBPF enables developers to create eBPF programs that add capabilities to the operating system at runtime. I can hardly wait to see how the hackers will use this one
"Sandboxed". Where have I heard that before? (or the Inigo Montoya quote would likely also work here)

So did anyone actually read far enough into that opaque mass of blather to figure out what an ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) edBNF is? I'm pretty sure it's not a variant of Boyce–Codd Normal Form where someone decided the original was a little too fishy, but beyond that I'm clueless.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It never did actually expand the acronym to let us know what it means. Even "what it does" wasn't spelled out until after the first comic.
Even on the friggin' "What is eBPF?[^]" page, they don't seem to define it. Finally, found it: Berkeley Packet Filter. Now I know why they're not bothering to explain, it just all makes so much sense.

You be the judge: [^]Quote: Nearly 30 years later, Agre’s paper seems eerily prescient, a startling vision of a future that has come to pass in the form of a data industrial complex that knows no borders and few laws. Data collected by disparate ad networks and mobile apps for myriad purposes is being used to sway elections or, in at least one case, to out a gay priest. But Agre didn’t stop there. He foresaw the authoritarian misuse of facial recognition technology, he predicted our inability to resist well-crafted disinformation and he foretold that artificial intelligence would be put to dark uses if not subjected to moral and philosophical inquiry.

I think the corollary to that is "Idiots or high IQ/EQ, one cannot have both." And the conclusion would be that if everyone has high IQ/EQ, you can have security and freedom. Just my 2c.

EQ = Emotional Quotient? Never heard it before, but if so, some so-called intellectual geniuses are emotional idiots.

Yes, and they can be the most dangerous of all. They have the abilities to do great harm (as well as great good), but often don't have the emotional maturity to realize the full consequences of their actions.
If they are caught, then (if the local law allows this) I would give them a lesser punishment by reason of diminished capacity.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Maybe not so much a prophet, but more like a blueprint. Predictions could be seen as ideas to be utilized for either good or bad. Phillip K. Dick[^] comes to mind.

Stupid - An individual without knowledge and is incapable of learning.

While I may not have worded it appropriately, my point is that predictions can and usually are self-fulfilling. There were already several articles at the time "predicting" how technology could be used for data collection and media influence. This is nothing new and has always been the case through out history. The current technology is just another tool in the pursuit of power and control.
