“My company was invited to present a new technology to 800 people at the July New York Tech Meetup. We showed off a self service kiosk that can save digital copies of house and apartment keys and then reproduce the physical keys when someone loses them or gets locked out. After our demonstration, one audience member asked if it would be used by the NSA to spy on people. My coworker told him not to worry because our CTO is an anarchist, which resulted in a round of applause. At the time, it was surprising how much credibility being an anarchist brought in that context. Yet, in retrospect it should have been obvious.”
