> Well, I think it is safe to assume that Long Term Happiness changes the brain "permanently" in the same manner.

That would be a poor assumption. The "change" that was observed by the researchers was an increase in the amount of a protein which is an indicator for brain inflammation. Per the article, you see the same type of inflammation with diseases like Alzheimers. The takeaway is that depression is a progressive illness and current treatment doesn't address this progression.

This is one of the many mental health memes I wish would die. I've lived my entire life with several close family members and friends who have severe mental illnesses. I have been to hundreds of appointments across dozens of providers. I have never NEVER seen a doctor give a patient a once over and then prescribe meds.

I understand there are bad psychiatrists out there. Just like there are bad mechanics, bad accountants and bad everythings. But I believe the vast majority of psychiatrists understand the limits psychoactive medications. I think it would be farely rare that a psychiatrist doesn't also discuss lifestyle changes and recommend some kind of talk therapy along with medication.

No, it doesn't. Not through the OEM. The last version of Android was Marshmallow which is two major versions behind the most current.

Sure, you can flash it yourself to the latest version, but there's no guarantee that it'll work. In my book, not having support from the OEM on the latest possible version of Android that can be loaded on your device does not count as having access.
Does the simple expectation of happiness exasperate the symptoms of depression? I found Dr. Jordan Peterson's commentary on this a helpful perspective.

"Life is complex and tragic and difficult, and the problem with the public portrayal of the ideal state of humanness as happiness is that it makes all of these young people feel ashamed of their own suffering. They feel that if they’re suffering and if they find their life tragic in its essence that that means there’s something wrong with them, and instantly that makes it impossible for them to communicate anything real about their own tragedy."

Reduce the complexity of society so a good baker can make a good living by starting a bakery. Business success these days seems to hinge much more on secret knowledge (taxes, real estate, employment law, patent process, certifications, etc.) than just great execution on a simple idea.

Complexity is a subsidy to the well-connected and masters of the arcane at the expense of everyone else.

The Hidden Automation Tax No One Talks About
I include the Fire tablets in my assessment of AOSP: the app stores have diverged to the point where you increasingly often need different APKs for FireOS and Google Play, and that divergence will continue to grow as Google continues to expand the proprietary Play API surfaces.

Even before Google started moving most API investment out of AOSP and into Google Play directly, FireOS has never felt like a "real" Android. I'd wager most of its tablet users don't even realize the connection to Android. At this point, how much does Amazon really benefit from AOSP that aren't already handling themselves?

This is entirely my own supposition, but based on what I've seen of the entirely different apps platform and ecosystem for the Echo devices, especially the Echo Show "tablet", and how well it is currently doing in the market, it is very easy for me to imagine Amazon will also be getting out of the AOSP game eventually on its Fire tablets/sticks as well. It's easy to imagine Amazon would be happier to have an ecosystem it more directly owns (and doesn't have to keep fighting a cold war with Google Play).

Your examples are not really comparable, mostly because of context. If someone at a party mentions SSL casually and you feel the need to explain that SSL is dead and they are really talking about TLS, you're just annoying. If someone presents themselves as an expert and says that SSL is "fundamentally broken", it's pretty reasonable to question their expertise. Especially when they actually aren't even talking about TLS but about CAs and PKI.

To make an absolute statement about the fundamental soundness of PKI and then use completely the wrong term? Come on. Can you imagine a real expert doing this and not at least recognize their own mistake? Don't talk about "fundamental flaws" when you don't know the difference between SSL and TLS and PKI. This is very much like someone trying to criticize the design of TCP/IP and not knowing the difference between an IP address and a MAC address.

One way to do it is to think about which parts are centralized vs. distributed vs. replicated: discovery, authentication, processing, storage, files, etc.

Take bitcoin, for example: the ledger is centralized (there is a single monolithic one) but its storage is replicated (there isn't a single central storage location) and the processing is decentralized.
They're not verifying your identity since it's a domain validated cert. The point is just to ensure that communications between a user's browsers an www.somerandomdomain.com are secure, regardless of who is behind the domain in question.

For identify validation, you'd need to buy an EV or OV cert. But for most organizations, particularly if your domain IS your identity, a domain-validated cert is absolutely fine.
> Who is not filtering outbound UDP traffic from their memcached instances?

This is of course the wrong way to do it -- you need to filter inbound UDP to your memcached instances so you don't waste your resources generating the responses, and also so you don't accidentally fragment the responses and only drop the first fragment outbound.
> That should put to rest the "Apple's planned obsolescence" narrative, but I doubt it will.

After less than 20 months my iPhone SE was at 45% of the original CPU speed it was marketed as. This was by design. A conscious decision by multiple people in the know, who instead of selling me a device that could last four years sold me a device that lasted one and a half and kept quiet about it until called out on it.

I never believed the planned obsolescence narrative, until I experienced it the past months.

Global Cryptocurrency Regulation Update (March 2018
> I'm happy to trade some control over my phone for assurances that it will have an up-to-date OS that gets security updates in a timely manner.

Unfortunately, you have things just about perfectly reversed. Using stock firmware on Android devices typically leaves a few months' lag time between upstream AOSP patch release and OTA updates for your phone. In contrast, LineageOS devices get updates every week; sometimes LineageOS beats even Google at issuing security updates.

Further, OEMs often discontinue updates after a couple years, while LineageOS will support your device for years and years.

Your tradeoff is really to lose control over your phone for a less-up-to-date OS, (frequently) months-old unpatched vulnerabilities, and a short support period. Your point about users not wanting to root their phones and install another OS still stands, but I dispute your perceived advantages to using stock Android crapware.

PS: Check out the Moto G4 Plus. It has a decent processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a microSD card slot, all the bells and whistles (fingerprint reader, GPS, LTE, etc.), full LineageOS support, and all for ~$220 on Amazon.

I deeply despite those third-party food delivery services. The people delivering the food are often working for less than minimum wage and are mostly using their private equipment (smartphone, bicycle, car) for delivering.

One might argue that people then should not work for those services but on the contrary why don't the services pay a fair wage and provide vehicles and devices necessary for the job? If the price gets too high, then maybe there is no market.

All of this ignoring that SV venture capital is subsidizing the erosion of other comparable jobs at small businesses that try to pay their delivery drivers a fair wage.

Did you ever think about New York City Restaurant Inspections and how Big Apple restaurants stack up, to what is exactly coming into US ports in each and every container, or how new drugs actually get approved by the FDA? The answers to these questions exist in specific and separate public datasets, but together, they can provide a vast and powerful view of what’s happening in the world.

Enigma was founded in 2012 in order to centralize and normalize public data globally (think Google for public data). We believe that free and open societies can’t exist without open and timely access to public data. Data that helps the public hold governments accountable, can also be used creatively to address significant social problems. Enigma's mission is to build the technology and solutions that will empower people to interpret and improve, the world around them.
