Disclaimer: I'm fully behind this idea, but I think there are some issues to be ironed out.

I don't think the OS is really the bottleneck here. I think getting a mobile device's hardware to run for this long is. There are a few things that make this difficult:

* Batteries - These currently only have so many cycles. A 10 year phone would need to provide a largish battery holding area allowing for two wires of varying voltages to be supplied. It would then in turn need to be able to charge at these various voltages through those two wires. I think voltages ranging from 1V to 24V would be a reasonable guess at where future battery tech would stay. Any person could then feasibly change their battery for some future tech.

* Connectivity - In just a few years, we've gone from only really having 2G to having just 3G/4G. In 10 years time, I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to think that maybe 4G will be switched off. I think it's unlikely that WiFi will remain for the next 10 years too. You need some robust connectivity module that hackers could connect to an arbitrary home-brew hacker's module. Something like UART/Serial/I2C/SPI.

Other things could burn out over time, but replacing those things becomes way too difficult. The processor, GPU, RAM, case, buttons and screen are just things I think that need to be the core phone.

Another place that could be interesting to explore is converting old, arbitrary phones into useful everyday devices. For example, I'm looking at converting my old HTC wild fire phone (the screen is small) into a permanent low-power alarm clock. It'll sit on the WiFi and if it sees my laptop/phone on the WiFi it will schedule the alarm, otherwise not.

I have another slightly newer phone with a larger display, so I was thinking or either making some notification board for my office or some very cheap VR headset for watching YouTube videos in bed without holding my phone up.

That said, there's no reason why all of these new "smart" devices couldn't reuse old technology. I think a small technology company that recycled old mobile devices into new smart devices would be pretty awesome. People pay loads for a recycled pencil for example, why not a recycled electronics device? On the far end of the scale I've seen some awesome coasters made from old motherboards.

I would love to see offices and schools buying more second hand kit too. There's no reason why thin client software can't run on an old mini-intel board, or even a semi-old smart phone. Kids don't need this year's laptops to write a report in Word. I think there's a big space for reuse here.
And, as ridiculous and slipshod as the whole thing is, the NSA is at least subject to some degree of oversight and regulation.

>I am a mid 20s white male who has been afforded immense privilege in life.

Stop right there.

You've been brainwashed by SJWs in the so-called 'educational' establishment into believing that you somehow have some magic 'white, male privilege'.

It's utter nonsense. They've been psychologically abusing you your whole life, harping on about 'racism' and 'sexism' and 'diversity' and 'tolerance', while condemning you for the color of your skin, your gender, and tricking you into buying their schtick.

Get redpilled. Read Vox Day's _SJWs Alway Lie_. Reject the SJW message of hate for white males!

Thanks! Yes, I know what you mean and share your pain. This is on the feature ideas list pretty far up top.
I don't like how the first graphic splits into "climbers" and "Sherpas". If anything, the Sherpas are the true climbers, as they do that all their life, and their physical abilities are probably up to olympic athlete level in most cases. The "climbers" should be labelled "western tourists" (except for the mountain guides).
Exactly. Once we can understand P vs. NP completely, all cypto algorithm today will be obsolete since crypto algorithm today ONLY rely on that "hard" problem.

I lined up pre-reveal to put my preorder in but I've already basically decided it's not for me. Looks kind of bland and the interior appears like it might be ridiculously spartan and the 4wd and performance versions are quite a way off, and their build quality will probably leave a lot to be desired for a while.
I'm not sure why this would be impressive. That's how science has always worked, and scientists very often get excited when new data increases the likelihood that some previously held idea is false. In fact, more often than not what irritates scientists is when experiments increase support for existing theories since that usually means that other theories are less likely to hold (e.g., LHC and supersymmetry theories). That results in people who had invested long periods of time into work that the data now says is bogus having mild existential crises - "damnit nature - now what?".

It says something unfortunate about the current perception of science if people think scientists getting excited about new data contradicting theories is something noteworthy.

This is cool, but I'm a bit sad that the spongebob artwork doesn't have a converted result. Diagrams are well and good (and those diagrams are great), but demoing it on a more picture-y picture would show another aspect of potential versatility.
I'm still perfectly happy with a 5 year old MacBook from mid 2012. It has a 2.7 GHz i7 CPU, and 16GB of RAM. I think I'll still be happy with this laptop 5 years from now (unless it breaks). I played with the new touch bar at an Apple store, and you can do some cool stuff, but not enough to make me buy a new laptop.

I think I would still be happy with my iPhone 6S 10 years from now, but there are many reasons I would upgrade. Here's a short list:

* Waterproof (Come on Apple, it can't be that hard. Samsung did it.)

* Longer battery life (I'm looking forward to >= 1 week)

* OLED screen with deep blacks and vibrant colors

* The dual camera focus hack in a regular-sized iPhone

* Some breakthrough in camera technology that gives a proper depth of field without the dual cameras. (I'm starting to get really disappointed with my 6S photos, but I don't want to carry around a 7 plus or a huge DSLR.)

I don't care about the processing power or memory any more. The iPhone 6S has a perfectly smooth UI and all of my apps run perfectly fast.

The Church Committee really didn't have any effect beyond forcing the CIA to rely on electronic surveillance, putting them at a disadvantage vs the Soviets.

That agency leaked sensitive information to embarrass Bush when he crossed them, and then did the same thing to Obama (for the same reason). This is what people are talking about when they mention the "deep state". The best thing that could happen is for the CIA to be defunded and disbanded completely, with a new agency staffed by entirely new people created in its place.

Perhaps you like thinking and that's the only thing you presently want to do. If not agree, is that you think that you propely want something specific, but if that were the case these problems you refer to would not be appearing, your will would hush them away automatically and focus you on the external blockers.
Answer is, that its not clear cut. What is the difference between a private investigator (working for a single party) and the government investigator (working for the city, state or federal level)?

I would think, that advertising in the local press or, having a sign outside the window to the effect that you were able to sell personal and assumed to be private information about the people who lived in the street would provoke an unpleasant reaction.

Doing something purely for your own benefit that you know will cause significant distress to others is sociopathy I think. Perhaps 'unethical' is the wrong word. 'antisocial' definitely covers it though it might not be strong enough.
The state is our collective will, on a national level. People like to refer to them and us but the government is us.

I think the general availability of TPUs is an important inflection point in the path to AI popularization, abd, who knows, some type of singularity event. Definitely a milestone in 21st century history.

But I can't resist making a parallel between evolving TPUs and how the CPU found in the arm of the T800 changed history (negatively) forever in the Terminator universe.
The article mentions the true reason why the situation will not change... unfortunately at the very end:

Prisons, and that includes state-run prisons, employ a good chunk of people (i.e. voters), and private prisons have been known for illegal stuff like kickbacks to judges and legal stuff like lobbying. So there are all sorts of incentives to elected representatives to keep stuff like it is.

Furthermore, "tough on crime" is something that will secure reelection if the voter base is conservative or lacks education (and one may wonder if there is a correlation)...
If I typo the card number and there's no JS code to tell me that, I need to submit the form, wait for it to error out, have to re-enter all the billing address information, re-enter the card number, and try this whole process again. I've resorted to re-typing the card number in the "find" box and making sure that it matches the number in the form's field, just to avoid this crap.

A handful of lines of JS that runs the Luhn checksum on the number in the "credit card number" field is not at all CPU intensive and can save people from such data entry errors.

I'm skeptical as to how worthwhile your effort is as long as the outcome is just another alternative to FB. We've seen countless examples of how these alt-social nets failed. But I do see a lot of value in the tech you might be developing, and if in some way we could embed it into existing social nets, that would be amazing. Fingers crossed!
People are in general bad, selfish, stupid creatures at heart.

Corporations are entities in which the most selfish rise to the top.

Any reading of intentions that gives corporate press releases even the slightest benefits of doubt is probably too charitable.

Corporations at the best of times don't chop you up and feed you to pigs because you or your next of kin would stop giving them money. When it's on its way downhill even that incentive isn't terribly strong.

Various corporate entities have repeatedly proved they would literally rather kill people than make less money if they think they can escape culpability and people still don't understand that you have no value to these people.

"You can also initiate withdrawals for any collected funds to your bank account through the Tilt platform until June 12, 2017"

A plain reading of these words is after 6-12 you cannot withdraw your money. If you were unclear you could check out the faq which reiterates this.

The most charitable reading possible is that they know this would be illegal and intend to mislead people into believing this so that they will be able to close up shop easier.
Then we need a bigger nerd to make a nice UI for it.
With the new EU Data Protection Directive[1], I think they do, since the DPD covers not only EU based companies, but also any company that provides services for EU citizens in the EU (so, Facebook, LinkedIn etc. are covered by this..but also e.g. your little weather app).

The new DPD is very strict, but there are two parts of the directive that a particularly interesting:

- The Data Portability concept: A company covered by the DPD is required to deliver to the user all data the company has on the user, in a standardised format. That means Facebook now has to hand out all your data (information, pics, likes, posts,...) for you to use freely - also in other services. I think this in effect means you own your data. I'm excited to see the effect of this one.

- The right to be forgotten: A company is required to delete all data they have on a user, if the user requests. Actually, if the user invokes this right, the company is not allowed make public, <b>store or process</b> any data related to the user.

From what I hear in discussions between american colleagues, american companies have no clue whats about to hit them. I know there is a mild panic here in Denmark, and the DPD is the most talked about subject in IT at the moment - and we've always been rather anal with the privacy stuff (e.g. cookie-law).

Edit: Oh, I forgot the fun part; this gets a lot of attention due to the sizes of the fines companies get for not adhering to the directive. Fines are up to EUR 20.000.000 or 4% of the company's global annual revenue, whichever is higher. Facebook made USD27.638.000.000 in 2016, so thats a fine of USD1.105.520.000 for not playing nice.

I agree (and I'm slightly shocked that's what you assumed I meant) but that's clearly not what I wrote. The poster I responded to explicitly referred to society itself being destabilized.

The more the media focuses on the terrorists themselves instead of commemorating the victims, the more would-be attackers will want to have their 15 minutes of infamy. The more shocking the reporting the media crafts, the more fearful the citizens become, and thus the more effective terrorism becomes. If terrorist see that they can fundamentally alter the way an entire Western nation functions, they will be encouraged to continue. More groups will pop up and thrive. More people will die.

The question is, how do we actually stop kids from dying? Looking at the big picture and changing the way we respond to attacks is one such way, knee-jerk accusatory reactions are not. Why don't we at least try it?

"green eyed monster" it's hard to discuss the merits of these old and extremely influential texts. Some texts are so foundational to a language that even their mistakes have gotten imbued with beauty. In my native language, Dutch, that's the case f.i. with our equivalent of the King James bible. There are a lot of phrases in there that don't make sense because they're errors of translation. But still they carry a stately splendour for a lot of people.
Perhaps that's also the case with Shakespeare. Basically by now it's beautiful because it's so much like Shakespeare. :-)

They're not particularly competitive on the interior front, for a variety of reasons.

1) They're still selling as many model S vehicles as thye can make. Perhaps the market will soften after Model 3 introduction or increase on Tesla's manufacturing capacity.

2) Any heavy add-on increases the weight of the vehicle and decreases the rated distance on a single electric charge. From their point of view it's better to let the aftermarket for interior accessories to develop, as then any add-on is at owner's discretion.

3) People who shop on interior will still go to their local Mercedes, BMW or Lexus dealer. Even other luxury brands (Infiniti, Cadillac, Acura) have had a tough time competing with decades of experience.

Isn't influence or suggestion a kind of coercion? Why do you think they spend so much resources on profiling everyone?

> That said, I do believe that there's a practical problem, but it's us that must try to solve it, we must educate people

My country used to have over 6000 people killed on roads out of about 60M people. The state tried to "educate" people about not driving while drunk, not driving fast, using seat belts, etc. But in the end, what actually worked was more policemen on the roads.

You say freedom is the lack of coercion but you fail to realize that you are coerced into being part of FB, and your only opt-out is drastic measures like using a blocker.

FB probably has more intelligence capabilities about mere people than any past or present intelligence agency of any country ever had. That raises a lot of questions, the first of them being to make sure that they don't use it against people.

I am a 30 year old, "first generation Mexican-American" who has had to work incredibly hard... from manual farm labor to today's creative tech/entrepreneurial world... for my current immense privileges in life. I have been analytical and overthinking; to the point of pausing and deciding daily whether the over-priced almond chai latte barista will mangle my full name or I should shorten and anglicize it.

I'm not outwardly extremely confident, but have been able to mostly get what I want. I've started a lot of things and messed up my fair share. It's past 2am, I'm in my workspace/studio jamming on personally fulfilling work with an amazing 40-week pregnant wife and four year old sleeping two floors above me.

What does self-destruct mean to you? Self loathing? I am genuinely wondering if lack of clarity, doubt and direction in your life are the real issues. If so, I'd like to say that every year since my 20s I've felt the same... and, I'm inwardly extremely confident about where I am in life. Time heals, maybe it's clarity through maturity. Perhaps a mentor would have been useful. If, like myself, you haven't had the fortune of one then seeking someone to talk to, a friend / colleague / professional, would be beneficial.

To pretend privilege doesn't exist is silly. Being born in the U.S. is by definition being born in a position of privilege. Even if you're born in a bad neighborhood from a bad set of parents, still there are more opportunities than someone born in a slum of say ... Somalia.

People are not born equal. This is a fact. However, that does not mean that you should judge their choices by that birth. True equality is judging every person individually by their own set of choices, not by their birth.
