Carrier IQ was far more invasive than just location. Their "Experience Manager" was supposedly tracking every app launch, time spent in that app, metrics on key & button presses within that app, and other misc interactions.

They got accused of being a "keylogger" which they rightly said they weren't, but that ignores how invasive and creepy Experience Manager was (is?). Their whole argument was that carriers can use this app data to see what apps are draining battery, which is kind of bs since carriers are in no position to resolve battery issues or advise customers.

The reality is that carriers wanted more information on how customers were using their devices, Carrier IQ provided that raw data, and both got rich. They survived the scandal because the critics focused on keylogging, instead of the highly invasive usage analytics which it really was.
In my experience most of the teardowns on youtube are terrible, if it's not from one of a half dozen channels there is a <10% chance you will be able to see the component you are interested in and it is hard to trust their judgment.

”Being from Northern Europe,”

OH. Yea, I’m pretty sure there is a cultural difference we just aren’t going to agree on. I don’t know what country you are from but I’m going to guess it’s population is pretty small and what you effectively have is small government anyway.

Not only did that processor not exist at the time, but even if it did there were going to be a bunch of compatibility issues with it on Ubuntu (like there always are when new hardware is released). I simply didn't want to have to deal with those sorts of issues for — potentially — months.

I suggest checking out the book "The Passionate Programmer".

There's a general focus in that book about building your personal brand in an organization so you basically have leverage to do what you want.

Beyond that, the short answer is to assume the role. Take on a PM-like presence amongst your team if you haven't already - ie. help any PMs you're currently working with on small tasks, ease their burden where you can - then have a candid discussion with your supervisor at some point about how you can see yourself in such a role.
It's very impressive that you need only $600k/year. How many people are there in your team (including everybody, not just developers)?

There's a difference between avoiding answering a question to prevent hurting someone's feelings, and doing so just to put yourself in a positive light (for selfish reasons). The scenario I was envisioning was the former.

Yeah I understand that some people try to spin everything their way, and I know it's annoying. My point was that just because someone doesn't answer a question or doesn't tell you everything they think in a situation, that doesn't mean that they are being dishonest.
A good start would be using a prepaid mobile phone (paid with cash, via an intermediary to avoid appearing on store CCTV), plus using phone apps that are not tied to your real identity. A Faraday bag for the phone when it's not in use.

Honestly, it just depends on how paranoid you want to get, and who your adversary is.
After reading this comment I went to check for myself. However I believe the grandfather post still has a valid point. It's not "obvious" how to use the self hosting open source version.

However, I'm pretty sure a person that was really interested in self hosting would not have trouble figuring it out.

I don't necessarily think it's bad that they don't emphasize how to use the open source version. After all, it is a business.

You are completely right that for some constructions (such as ChaCha20-Poly1305, AES-CCM, and possible AES-GCM) there is only a single MAC for the entire ciphertext.

However that is not true for other constructions. AES-OCB is a single-pass cipher that has a MAC for each block (this is actually the main selling feature of OCB). (AES-EAX also has a MAC for each block too, but is two-pass.)

Also, STREAM/CHAIN are also AEAD, so your generalisation can't be always true.

There is no language that is innately understood. All computer languages are learned, so when they describe "intuitive" I don't think this is what is meant. However, a large portion of early programming education does take place amongst C-style curly-brackets.

It's this learned setting for our precepts that makes other languages intuitive or not. If we were all learning fortran or pascal in college it might be different, but we're not.

That said, having C-style syntax is clearly not a pre-requisite for the success of a language as is attested by the success of Python, Ruby, various flavours of BASIC and other less loved languages like COBOL ...

But "intuitive" is very important for getting traction. Once you can "intuitively" model a problem in a language such that somebody familiar with the problem can understand what's going on, then that's intuitive. I'm talking about a different kind of intuitive here.

Most people engage with computers on imperative terms, i.e. they want to tell it to do things. Imperative languages are "intuitive" because they allow you to map out a list of instructions in order.

So for instance, when you're writing a program to make a cup of tea you issue those steps one by one. You don't want to have refine the model into a functional space, do a handstand and flip the bag into a mug with your little toe while inducing a small raincloud and microwaving the drops on the way down.

Similarly true object oriented langauges (I'm not talking about C or Java here, where classes are glorified structs) model how we think of information in terms of object-relations.

Functional languages to me as an experienced programmer are "intuitive", but even I sometimes flinch when I'm exposed to a stack of lisp ellipses ...

If your goal is to simply avoid your location being sold by your carrier for marketing purposes, an intermediary seems a little excessive, no? Unless you have reason to believe that your local pharmacy or cell shop is selling facial recognition data as well ...
They're not, and this site is a very well known ideological rag.

Many power bills give you a cost breakdown. Where I live delivery charge is more than the cost of the electricity itself, which is not terribly surprising given the massive capital cost of the power grid.

This is also probably amplified by the fact that California (where I live) imports a ton of power from states as far away as Oregon, Washington, and Utah. That's not because of solar and wind but because California does not have adequate storage and/or other forms of generation capability to service its demand. More solar and wind or anything else for that matter would probably help the situation by reducing the amount of imported power.

This is also not horribly surprising though. It's the most populous state and is surrounded by lots of much less populous states with abundant natural resources. So it's not surprising that California would import a lot of energy. Electricity is nearly always more expensive in places with higher population density due to the mismatch between supply and demand in those places, requiring more energy to be imported over longer distances. Whether it's moved as electricity over wires or as fuel there's always a transport cost. So some of Cali's costs are bad policy but some is just physics and economics.

The cheapest power tends to be in places with loads of local energy resources and lower population density (matched supply and demand). Examples are the Pacific Northwest with tons of local hydro or Appalachia with loads of coal and gas right there.

Given the overt bias of this site I'm guessing their solution would be to burn coal in California, but that coal would have to be transported thousands of miles because Cali doesn't have coal.

> Also, will I need a work visa if I’m to be employed by a US company, even if I work from Canada?

No.

> Do US companies typically hire you as a contractor or can you be employed as an employee? I’m asking because contractors usually have no benefits here, including holidays/vacation/sick days, insurance, company-paid parental leave and all other perks so it has a huge impact on effective salary.

Most US-based remote tech companies work this way:

For people working outside of the US, they will be technically employed as contractors, but often treated like full-time team members in other ways, including vacation/PTO/sick days/parental leave. (This is how we do it at Close.io: http://jobs.close.io/). Medical benefits/insurance and retirement plans (401k) are very country-specific so that is far less commonly offered for non-US team members.

That's for a managed WP host. I agree that the $50/mo price comes out of nowhere, but you're still not going to find one for $20/mo as you would with Ghost.

You, sir, have achieved a new level of pedantic.
Rather a lot of philosophy of science disagrees with the confidence you are labeling your statement with. If numbers automatically gave us objective and unbiased information the world would be a very different place... and I mean that with a very generous interpretation of what putting numbers on things means, not a tight, pedantic one.
Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking.
This is a good summary. The US was designed similar to the EU; each "state" is autonomous, but some things are shared, like currency, etc. Allowing frictionless movement between states is also paramount (and explicitly defined).

The logic being, if a state starts to get out of control, you can just move to another state. This allows states to experiment with various laws specific to the population.

Most of this was undone with the Civil War. As abhorrent as it was, the federal government had no legal power to ban slavery outside a constitutional amendment. The 13th-15th amendments actually banned slavery after the war, not the Emancipation Proclamation. Today, the federal government bans whatever it pleases and uses the commerce clause to skirt the constitution.

Take the drug war for example. Because a group of drugs was federally banned, states were powerless to do anything about it. I think most people would agree that federally banning all drugs ended up being a terrible idea and ruined many lives and families over the course of it's execution. It continues to do so today. If the constitution was actually followed, each state can determine which drugs it would allow. As far as I know, Colorado hasn't devolved into a cesspool of depravity since it legalized pot. Imagine all the hell that could have been avoided if states were allowed to decide which drugs to ban rather than the federal government.

Of course a strong federal government has some plusses as well. It was hotly debated during the country's inception, but the ultimate compromise all the states agreed to is what we got.

There is a place for this sort of cynicism, for example when looking at Zuckerberg’s structure of his “family trust.”

But in this case it’s really an absurd implication. There is literally no personal benefit to founders making their company a non-profit. Yes they can pull salary from it, but they could do that in a for-profit company too. Not only that, but it’s impossible to sell a 501c3 non-profit because there are no shares. It can only dissolve, in which case the board must distribute any remaining assets to another non-profit.

Calls could be done over IP, and as long as you could anonymously authenticate to the tower then you could be granted a new IP address at each tower via something like DHCP. I imagine roaming and handovers would have to be done on the end-device though; the end-device would need to proactively associate to new towers and both ends of the voice call would need to agree to switch to the new IP address.

But if the tower operators collude then they can still track you across towers by localizing the physical source of the end-device's signal.
