Jeb Bush 2012: Apr 4, 2007; A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.

I believe it will at some point become necessary to institute an Internet connectivity tax to discourage people from buying cheap Internet-enabled coffee makers or buttplugs just for the novelty. If a product doesn't deliver an extra $20 worth by virtue of being internet enabled, you probably shouldn't buy it in the first place.

We're also going to need legislation. Connecting a device with remote control capabilities to the Internet without changing the default password is like putting a gun safe on your porch and leaving the keys in the lock. That level of negligence needs to be criminal.

Mandating minimum security standards for IoT devices seems better than prosecuting people for not knowing why their internet fridge is bad
