On: Alexa, are you listening?

[oh_sigh]

What's with the glut of anti-alexa articles recently? Am I just in the minority of security conscious people who think Alexa is pretty benign?

Technological ignorance? Most people who are afraid of technology don't seem to understand it very well. God knows why they'd be here though.

I honestly just expected better from HackerNews folks. I am not irritated oh_sigh, I am just very disappointed.

[oh_sigh → Fifer82]

Disappointed in which direction? That I wouldn't care much about alexa as an exploit vector, or that a lot of nerds do care?

What is 'better' in this context?

Loving everything new simply by virtue of it being new?

Yeah, I think we are a minority.
