Surely the fatal flaw in this plan is that users of people's personal data and manipulators/storers/aggregators of said data must sign up to use it.
Or they could just carry on doing what they're doing, without paying Inrupt a penny. Hmm... difficult choice.
As far as I can see, Inrupt has no buildable, sustainable business model at all unless businesses can be forced to use the technology. Who or what can do that? I detest statism and yet more laws, but it strikes me that only governments can force companies to use Inrupt or similar technologies.
BUT... if laws force businesses to use Inrupt or similar, then the current data baddies will just begin to compete with Inrupt so as to be able to carry on with their business model in a new, state-approved, 'secure', 'private' manner.
I (sadly and unhappily) predict that Inrupt will be about as successful in their endeavours as Mozilla has been in getting businesses to use open IoT technologies.

Experienced product engineers and designers talk a lot about empathy, but we are actually the least-equipped people to empathize with most users. "You don't know how it feels to be me"
|
|
|
|
|
On the other hand, users do not understand engineers/designers/developers.
It's amazing we get anything done that someone can actually use.
As for empathy, it is greatly lacking no matter where one looks. We are all just "resources" -- underpowered, high maintenance computing platforms with excessive surface area that only deliver our best payloads on the "throne" - we are at best a bacteria in the "big data" body.

Published in November. Only contains data from May and prior. 
There's no reason for not including data from over the summer to see if/how things changed as people stabilized into their WTH routines; for that matter September to see how back to school impacted parents in the northern hemisphere...
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?

Each time repeat a snappy Nadella quote to yourself. Use the following template to create it from, and then curse the day Kent Sharkey brought it to your attention:
Quote: "That means, the innovation in Windows Settings Panel is the best way to conceptualize how we even think about Windows because it’s one surface area where we want to deliver our best payloads for productivity, communications, collaboration, business process."

Can you explain that in plain English? Can anyone?

Based on my reaction, I have to believe it is a high magic incantation to induce vomiting in the reader. Maybe it is something they teach in super-advanced MBA programs. I can see no other logical explanation.

Another mindless CEO said: the best way to conceptualize how we even think about Windows
which can be translated as "the best way to think about how we even think about Windows".

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

This comment of yours makes a little monkey inside my head far happier than it should.
Perhaps because my effort at replying to the comment you did was going to be "Both with and without the s"
