What's an illegitimate interest?

If you don't have your code report in at all, then you have no idea how many people are using it or what features they use the most. So when someone says "how many people use the thing? We need to prove it is useful so people will pay us to make it" then you can't answer. Or if someone says "that feature is hard to maintain, can we just ditch it?" you either have to leave it in or risk ditching a very popular feature.

I'm not angry. I'm trying to get inside Scully's head.

Just because you had aliens last week doesn't mean that you can have Bigfoot this week. Blurry photos and poorly substantiated ravings don't become good evidence of things until you get a lot more genre savvy.

And just because the thing you have matches Bigfoot on points one, five, and six doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be like Bigfoot on points two through four. Especially if there's not a unifying theory of Bigfootness behind them and they're just a list of aforesaid poorly substantiated ravings.

which allows others to see your profile after you like them even if they don’t have a gold or silver membership,

How the hell do they expect their app to actually work at all if that isn't built in????

"Hello yes I have a dating app, it will help you find people to date. The way it works is, if you say you like someone, then they can't read about you. This will enable you to get dates with all the hottest precognitive telepaths who magically already know about you."

Unfortunately as far as I know it is pretty standard for monkeys used to test brain interfaces to eventually get infected because of it and have to be put down.

I'm not sure whether the same problems are as common in humans; humans are much less likely to e.g. yank on the implant, especially if the reason they have an implant is to work around some kind of paralysis. And humans are allowed drugs that animals are not.

There kind of are: they're the Wyze cameras, just with custom firmware. They stand up a little web server, and you never log them in to Wyze.

I think the key is for it to be a provisional guess and not a will-be-shocked-if-it's-wrong assumption. You need to be prepared to have been wrong.

Because it makes it seem like you are thinking of the people involved first and foremost as objects of biological study, and that you are the kind of person to whom that sort of thinking comes most naturally.

Dude, what the fuck. Fat people walk dogs.

Please try to cultivate one one thousandth of the love for your fellow humans that those people have for that dog.
