with a rooted phone I was able to delete such a system app using pm uninstall, was this doing a remount,rw on the system partition to remove it under the hood, or how does this work then?

Because I thought that was more of a "you pay us to make your app unremovable preinstalled on all of our phones"-thing rather than anything technical.

It is more complicated. For example, the color magenta does not correspond to a single segment of the EM spectrum. Due to how the eyes work, magenta is caused by light of two different wavelength. This is the reason magenta is not in the rainbow even though it is one of the primary colors (e.g. one of the colors used in printer ink). So the experience of color is very much determined by the design of the sensory organs.

I remember a book I read years ago called The Luck Factor. It is a pop psychology book, and outlines the principles of luck and goes in-depth about it. I internalized most of the principles a little bit.

One time I was in London and lost my bus ticket to Amsterdam. I really needed some luck. So I asked myself "what would the author of the book do?" I sought out the highest manager I could find, which eventually was the bus driver himself and he listened to my story and said "we have a spare seat, so you can take that."

And with that the book had paid for itself!

There are more situations in which I used those principles and they work quite well. It changed my whole outlook on how lucky I am. I feel a lot more lucky nowadays then I used to as a kid, where I always felt I would never be lucky. You can debate to what extent I am nowadays more lucky on an objective sense, but I feel using the principles from that book (of which being open to new things is one of them) helped me a lot.

I am not affiliated with that book. I just love a good pop psychology book (another good one is Man's Search for Meaning, for example, which is to be fair a lot more than only pop psychology).

I think you'd be pleasantly surprised by most psychotherapists. They see their job as helping people feel better and function more effectively in the world, and they don't really distinguish one as the means and the other as the end. Each can be justified in terms of the other, so it's always both. I'm sure you could work productively with a psychotherapist even if they're inclined to be more sympathetic to you than you would like.
Here's the takeaway: the frugals/similar bloggers are bad because they, "are telling an older generation of elite Americans — the very people whose policies and financial decisions kneecapped the economy — what they want to hear: that everything is more or less okay, and young people just need to be more thoughtful about their money."

While it's debatable whether everything is "more or less okay", and -- to some degree -- there are definite systemic issues preventing people from being where they want to be financially, I guarantee you that adopting this attitude ("it's not my fault I can't get ahead, the system is messed up") is going to make you worse off financially vs believing/focusing on what you can control and your own agency.

For example, I do think there are some current millennials who sort of got unlucky with the student loan/college bubble and "were told" (or believed) that they could just borrow whatever they wanted to study whatever they wanted, and it'd all turn out OK. But I'm not sure people graduating high school now nec have that excuse. And if you are graduating high school and reading this, for gods sake, please take it upon yourself to think a bit about what you might like to do and take a long, hard look at what exactly borrowing the median 10's of k's of debt might get you before you do it.
Blocking companys and growing ones own version of them, worked well for nearly every country who did it. (China, South Korea, Japan).

>Nvidia and AMD are selling, if not identical products, then near enough for government work.

This is an incredibly ignorant statement. While they both sell GPUs for consumer, and business (Quadro/Fire) AMD sells semi-custom CPUs, and has merged CPUs & GPUs into APUs. NVDA sells SOC, and AI focused hardware in addition to GPUs. The GPUs have huge differences between them, particularly with the newer APUs which are more, or less, customized for OEMs.

Summary: they overlap on GPUs, but their businesses are very different elsewhere.

HyperCard was about empowering users, the opposite of what many tech companies want today, including Apple. It was a "predecessor" to the web (hypertext, HyperTalk scripting language), of Flash (animations, graphics), of user programmable databases (ok, Filemaker is older). It enabled users to smoothly dive into programming, as it not only offered a simple but extremly powerful concept of document-applictions called "stacks", drag-n-drop setup of your own graphical user interfaces, but behind all this a very powerful, extendable object oriented programming language with kind of "real" objects, as every item of your stack could have it's own method. Thankfully we have web technology today, else computer technology would miss its most democratic tool. But still HyperCard was the only way to simply have your own data on your own computer in your own application and not relying to a server, cloud or even paid service.
I agree the article was attempting to take down that family, but even on that count I wasn't convinced. So they have a home in Massachusetts? That hardly makes them "rich". Nor is being able to hire a painting company the exclusive province of the wealthy.

Perhaps pursuing FIRE is something only available to the upper middle class. That's an interesting argument, but not one put forward in the article. Furthermore, I think it's bordering on class warfare to set the upper and lower middle classes against each other. It reeks of divide and conquer, and who benefits? The people pushing over expensive lifestyles funded with debt.
American salaries are difficult to make sense of from a European perspective. The referenced average salary of $36,000/year for millennials with only a high-school diploma would be a normal entry-level salary for a software engineer in most of Western Europe, and a very good salary for experienced engineers in Eastern Europe.

Tax burden is higher here as well, and while the cost of housing is exorbitant many parts of the US, so it is in cities like Dublin, London and Paris, but without the salary adjustments you see in San Francisco, New York, etc.

This makes it difficult to understand why frugality is impossible for an American making triple the average salary of an average Czech or Croatian.
The audience that these types of blog posts are targeting aren't those of who are stuck making minimum wage, but instead those who are fairly well off but think they aren't because they keep spending yearly costs on $1000 phones, 5+ subscription services, large housing costs, eating out multiple times per week, etc.

Over the past few weeks, a long-running thread has been building on the Mr. Money Mustache forums at https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/welcome-to-the-forum/what'...

(Mr. Money Mustache isn't too different from the FrugalWoods. They never made quite so much money, but they did have good careers. Still, there's a similar message to be heard.)

I get that the high income and extravagant Vermont estate are a turn off for median-and-below earners, but that doesn't mean you have to have their income to benefit from their frugality. After all, MMM and FW have the time to write about frugality because of their financial independence. But they are able to live the lives they want due to the choices they made with their money.

It isn't hard to find counter-examples. How often do you hear of people that make $300k/year, yet fail to accumulate wealth and achieve financial independence? How often do they continue to be held to wage slavery to support their chosen lifestyle?

Anyway, while you can't save money by not painting your kitchen, you can improve upon your self-sufficiency, and you can certainly become more mindful of your values and the choices you make with your money. It takes education (self or otherwise), and financial bloggers can serve as source of education. But you still have to learn how to filter and apply knowledge to your own situation. You can't pluck fruit from an orchard in your 600 sq. ft. apartment, but you can track your spending, and figure out where money is being spent on things that don't line up with your values and long-term goals.

The important thing is to figure out what you can do to improve your situation. Complaining about people being more successful than you doesn't improve your situation. (I do get that income inequality is a whole other issue to address, but I think that muddies this specific message.)

Remember that you can probably find ways to be more frugal and mindful, and know that doing so alone will not get you a 66-acre homestead at the age of 30, but it can improve your life and get you to your goals faster.

> Campaigns are allowed to purchase products or services from foreign sources.

It's not quite so simple. It's true that US campaigns can purchase products and services from foreign vendors, but only to the extent that those services do not include any management or strategic decision-making services. So you could hire a Canadian firm to make data visualizations for you, but the firm could not tell the US campaign, "we recommend you target group x" based on that visualization.

But I agree, based on what is described here, there may be nothing here. Very much unlike certain Cambridge Analytica activities across the pond.
Serverless has stamped a big DEPRECATED on containers
I think there’s real value in spreading the message of thrift. The 20th century saw a massive build up of the consumerist lifestyle. It’s going to take a lot of work to back that out, so we might as well start now.

I’ve personally seen people with high five figure student debt go on regular international trips. These people more or less live paycheck to paycheck and save specifically for travel (or use credit cards — if they can get them).

Educating people as to why that might be a bad idea and creating a supportive culture of anti-consumerism seems like a good idea. Sure there are policy decisions at play too, but being “frugal” can hardly hurt.

I'm not picking on or defending anyone, I'm just weary of the last years' worth of articles that keep claiming "smoking guns."

Can anyone explain how this is illegal or damning? It appears the biggest reveal is some database/statistical tools. Do they do anything illegal? Is it illegal to outsource a project, especially to an ally like Canada?

It seems they were developed as the result of an outsourced project, but does that count for anything?

We knew CA was hired to help them win the election. I don't understand how that itself is wrong, legally either.
> During this 12 hour calibration window, you can still use fingersticks, which you have to do for calibration purposes with other CGMs anyhow.

Those aren't comparable situations. With my Dexcom I test in the early afternoon and before bed and that gives me 24 hours worth of extremely reliable information.

Here's a hypothetical: let's say you test and your blood sugar is 150 mg/dl. What does that tell you? Almost nothing. Maybe your sugar was 200mg/dl 15 minutes ago and you're dropping like a rock or it was 100mg/dl 15 minutes ago and you're spiking. Maybe you've been at 150mg/dl for the last two hours. You can't really tell, so you test again in 15 minutes. Let's say it's 100mg/dl -- looks like it is dropping, unless your last reading was on the high side and this one on the low meaning nothing's really changed. So you test again in another 15m and maybe you can start putting together a picture of what's actually happening.

This is a terrible process and only works if you're sitting at home doing nothing. What if you're stuck in traffic or on a crowded subway car? In a meeting at work? At the gym? On a date? In a movie theater? It can become overwhelming quickly and that's when mistakes happen. And remember this is all compounded by your body's biology: you have to think about the food you ate, how much insulin you took and when you took it, when the last time you exercised was, how much stress you're under, etc, etc, etc.

And keep in mind fingersticks don't perform that much better than CGMs. They're still susceptible to error (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3317395/) and much more susceptible to human error. Failing to wash your hands properly, not drying your hands properly, not letting the alcohol dry completely after a swab, or leaving your strips in a hot car can all cause your readings to be wildly incorrect.

Another thing to note is even if your Libre is off by a huge amount (say 50mg/dl) the trend will still be accurate. Meaning if your blood sugar is constant over an hour the Libre will give you a reading that's also constant. This is extremely important because I'm much more likely to take action on trends (e.g. rising/falling blood sugars) than on individual data points.

You said this in the other thread:

> I would think that 12 hours of having to use a fingerstick during calibration would be preferable to twice a day fingersticks.

I will tell you it is definitively not. Currently Dexcom takes two hours to calibrate and those are the longest two hours of my week. The ability to schedule those two fingersticks is much preferable to 12 hours of radio silence.

> You are on HN, and likely reasonably technically inclined.

Sure. I'm a "good diabetic" but that's the nature of the beast for a disease who's only treatment is constant vigilance. There's a reason why I've never gone into a hypoglycemic coma yet know people my age who are already struggling with neuropathy. The lowest common denominator here is extremely low, and if an error margin of 30mg/dl or a single false reading is going to cause you serious problems you have much greater issues with your diabetes management than your CGM.

It's a morally questionable situation, but I wouldn't put the blame and responsibility on the individual renters/landlords. The flaw is in the system that incentivizes and perpetuates such a situation. The people involved are simply rational actors in that system. Problems aren't solved by just hoping everyone acts more morally, but by redesigning the structures and incentives that shape both the outcomes and our values.

1) Really dependant on the product/industry, but a bunch of numbers I've seen (and I've been looking into it a lot lately), have claimed from 10-40% trial to paid conversion increase by improving your onboarding emails. (Though the high end has come from also offering things like concierge onboarding to certain amenable customers.)

Improving your product's important, but you have keep in mind that the product is not the business, and a 10% improvement to your product likely won't have anywhere near the effect that a 10% improvement in your marketing will.

2) Sending a single welcome email with first steps that can be used as a reference, sending "trial ending" emails to remind people that their trial as running out (and offering an extension, usually), and 30-90 days after expiry emails offering a trial extension in case they got busy (happens very frequently) or asking for info why they didn't decide to go with your product. Anything above that, you want to start getting into tracking user lifecycle events and customizing your onboarding to that, and in fact, once you start doing that, you can start improving those low-hanging fruit emails as well.

3) You can use something as simple as Mailchimp to something as powerful as Salesforce. It really depends on what part of your funnel you want to focus on.

One thing people don't tend to get about email marketing before diving in is that there's no "one thing" that's email marketing. There's newsletter marketing, where you capture prospects, there's onboarding, there's "regular update" emails, there's winback emails, there's retention emails. Email's just a tool, really, and it's applicable and nearly all levels of marketing.

I've really gotten into this kind of stuff over the past few years, and if you still have questions, I'd be happy to chat with you about it. Email's in my profile.

The psychological trait of openness is often associated with creativity. Creating something from nothing seems very lucky indeed.
Sure, but are people like the ones in this article or MMM seriously advocating that their philosophy will solve poverty? It's always struck me as middle or even upper middle class people revolting against over consumption and debt. Insofar as that's the case it seems like a positive development. And I don't see why we can't do two things at once, address inequality and poverty and reform out-of-control consumerism.
From what I understand, it usually comes down to whether copy protection mechanisms were circumvented in order to make the copy and whether the copy was transmitted to a nonlicense holder.

So, making an image of a DVD isn't illegal, but sending that image to someone that doesn't own a license is. But, ripping that disk to mp4 is illegal if any form of protection is in place, no matter how weak.

Of course, ripping to mp4 and then sending it to someone is double illegal, which makes it legal. I should mention now that IANAL.
Really? I saw a few psychologist talk about creativity and they said it was about openness (O in OCEAN) and intelligence.

So it seemed to me that this openness was in fact about being conceptually open to new ideas
