Would definitely agree. There are so many things that can go wrong. I mean, I've experienced just having 2FA on my phone and then the phone got bricked. Not having the 2FA QR codes backuped, and I was in some serious pain for a while.
> A system typically used by marketers and other companies to get location data from major cellphone carriers...

Wait, what? Carriers are selling personally identifiable location information? I knew they were selling aggregate data, but how are they legally selling location numbers tied to actual phone numbers?

I dug into my carrier's privacy policy, and it looks like this is true. They say you'll be asked for consent before it happens, but what mechanism does the carrier even have to request that consent? I've certainly never seen an opt-in prompt for anything like that before, but according to my carrier's site, there are at least two companies that are accessing or have accessed my location data through my carrier. That is not okay.

If an app or service I use wants access to my location, they can go through my phone's location services API, which requires my affirmative consent. It is completely unacceptable that they can bypass me and get it directly from my carrier.

Just to be 100% clear with the packages shown, they offer the benefit that those apps don't count towards your mobile data, rather than just being available.

Still not great though, since it just increases the moat for existing companies. Also companies in the states have tried exactly the same thing before with their video streaming service not counting towards you data cap.

To me, this is a great illustration that there's no other coherent place to start any form of discussion, reasoning, or belief than with axioms (or assumptions). Regressive and circular arguments only shift the problem.

I believe that if one is looking for truth in a big-picture sense (religious or philosophical), the best approach is to evaluate various existing systems of axioms/assumptions and apply a twofold test to each: (1) correspondence to reality and (2) internal consistency. It's a given that applying the first test requires stepping into the subjective, since one must honestly apply it to personal experience.
Galactic Sky: Software Defined Satellites
Military doctrine as stated and as practiced are routinely inconsistent in practice. In the same ROTC course we spent the entire year being taught about how militaries that jumped on new technologies and adapted to change faster was the way to win war, and then right after class all but two of the cadets thought that we should never even think about replacing fighter jets with drones that had better performance because of A: the drones might take control of themselves and it'll be like Terminator, B: we've never used drones before, and C: being a fighter pilot is cool and being a drone pilot isn't.

There are undoubtedly a number of good officers and enlisted in the military by sheer virtue of their numbers, and I'm sure many of them helped write those forward looking doctrines. The reality of the actual situation inside the military is a morass of waste, micro managing and simultaneously not giving enough instructions, and politics.

The meritocracy of the military only comes into play when it is facing a mortal enemy and the people who do their jobs poorly actually are removed by dieing. When you are in the situation that US military is where it outclasses every enemy it's fought for decades by orders of magnitude then incompetence is covered over just by the momentum of the entire system.

Just look at the waste and turmoil over uniforms[0] When I was in the program it became apparent through scuttlebutt from the officers that most changes or cancellations in programs like this lined up 1 for 1 with people being promoted into positions and deciding to clear out their predecessors work so they could make their own mark. A common complaint about new second lieutenants as well, was that they were always making up some new work or replacing working processes so that they could point towards their accomplishments when going for a promotion. Those are all the hallmarks of a system dominated by politics, not meritocracy and if it's happening at the junior level those same officers are going to bring those habits with them when they promoted to higher ranks

Edit: They had the "do you understand that" pauses when I was in the program as well. After indicating that I did not understand I was taken aside and told that if I planned on continuing in the military then I should not be voicing any doubt. It was not told to me as a threat but as career advice, and they coupled it with techniques for finding out what needs to be done when you don't have information such as nodding politely and saluting your commanding officer, immediately forgetting what they said, and then finding a seargant to ask what should really be done. My school's program may have been an outlier but I heard the same stories and advice from the upperclassmen, the teachers who we're actual officers and enlisted, and enlisted members we met on base visits

> it cannot be true by any stretch of the imagination that a moat is "less efficient" than a desert

Nope, a moat protects a profit center by creating barriers to entry in the form of competitive advantages.

A desert kills profit centers that could be used to attack your own profit center. Competitors can't leverage neighbor markets as an entry point, they can only attack your core business directly.

You can have both, but a desert end up being more efficient for the simple fact that it reduces the total amount of profit to be had in the market, draining competitors of resources.

The desert of profitability is the Russian winter of business models (with all the "Russian winter" caveats, so let's not go down the route of discussing if it was actually the winter or German lack of fuel, or Napoleon's whatever): you don't need strong moats when enemies die before reaching your walls.
True, but now I have to wonder how much MSFT would be charging Google for the privilege?

Or maybe a different company, like if Amazon didn't fail with Fire Phone. Perhaps that entity could have been more forgiving since they're not as aggressive with the same set of productivity services. But in general Google has lost that moat for the rest of the mobile era. At best they can hope for is a partnership.

Actually, imagine now homegrown Alternate-Android competitor that was based in China. Google would be cut from that too.
That was my understanding as well. I was not sure if perhaps recent legislation in the E.U. may have added any verbiage around that.
Lot's of people pay extra for "organic", "grass-fed", "cage-free", "fair trade", "kosher" and other certifications on products now. "Organic" has just about taken over the produce section in my supermarket in the last few years. And "USDA organic" has dubious value for a lot of products.

If you observe that people don't often pay for "antibiotic free" meat it's likely because they don't see it as a worthwhile value proposition.

If you say that buyers won't choose to pay for global-warming-safe beef, while watching them choose to pay for chemical-pesticide-free beef then that is just another way of saying that no one cares about global warming, and I don't think that is the case.
My personal solution is to play everything with mpv instead: From YouTube's SERP, I copy the link to the video and run `mpv "$(xsel -b)"`, which downloads the video with youtube-dl and plays it in mpv, i.e. in a desktop app. No bullshit, no autoplay, just plain video and audio. As a bonus, this works with almost any website containing video, so the player works the same regardless of website.
> I have not even tried to join Army because I saw them as people doing pointless shit to quote you.

So you have even less experience and are just pulling your strong opinions out of your ass. Got it.
The key insight is to have a better alternative if they say no. You have to be in the position to speak authoritatively about your subject matter to the extent that your client realizes your time is too valuable for tire kickers. Make the case that your best work is done on your terms. It's not that you don't want to negotiate it, there is simply no mechanism for you to provide the advertised services in suboptimal working conditions.

If you have no plan b, this tactic loses all of it's teeth.

By your logic, a labor union "strike" must also be extremely ineffective. (They require massive coordination and go against each individual's incentive to work.)

Yet they do work, and we don't call labor unions "government".

> I was naive and a fool (fortunately, didn't invest much and was able to move shortly thereafter.) People who invest in areas on the basis of bus service are fools.

I'm not sure that's fair. Yes, it's an uncertainty and you need to be aware of it, but it's no worse than investing in an area on the assumption that you won't get laid off or your rent won't increase sharply. Nothing is certain, but you have to settle somewhere.
Yes! It's our #1 focus. We continually experiment with marketing and product changes to increase the number of jobs. The good news is that, when a client starts hiring, they are likely to work again with their contractors, and they are very to post additional jobs using Moonlight. We launched three months ago, and the money we pay out to contractors has about doubled every month since then, and we are on track for another record week this week.
To be fair, you're not going to get the viewership without using a platform.

I feel like any streaming implementation should be setup you broadcast to put yourself hosted setup, and to twitch/youtube/facebook/et. al. I haven't done any live stream/podcasts, but I think there is already proxy software that does this.
Also chiming in with a project I've put together in Swift

https://www.github.com/krad/morsel
https://www.github.com/krad/plainview
https://www.github.com/krad/pupil

morsel ingests h264 & aac and produces fragmented mp4 files & playlists.
plainview reads the playlists and uses MSE in the browser to play them via the web
pupil is a WIP server that reads h264 & aac over TCP and passes that data to morsel, then uploads to any s3 compatible storage (AWS, Minio, etc)

The swift stuff works on Linux, iOS, tvOS, etc

edit:

There's also a WIP project called "kubrick" https://github.com/krad/kubrick

It's a simple POP wrapper around AVFoundation that allows for building media processing pipelines.

There's an example in the project for reading video samples and passing them through a series of Metal shaders to produce fun effects.
nice.

one of those links i personally find interesting is "content creators."

on the top end, it appears that a handful of the apps in the Google Play Store make the lion's share of the revenue (e.g. Facebook, Google itself, and some really strong game companies).

at the same time, i've heard estimates that 50% of the independent app creators earn less than $500 per month. and it's getting worse.

in short, the android app market was quickly populated by a huge number of independent app creators (who presumably thought it would be a good, durable, new line of business). but, for the most part, these app creators became a low-income-neighborhood/swamp around the top app creators.

but Google still (indirectly) benefits from this arrangement because it offers the appearance of a free, open, lucrative, land of opportunity -- a healthy marketplace.
Can't you infer what enemy you're facing based on the damage they do to you?

In the original, [ruby-warrior](https://github.com/ryanb/ruby-warrior), you can `listen` (at some point) to get an array of occupied spaces and then you can check if a space contains an enemy. If you're not immediately adjacent to an enemy but your warrior is taking damage you can infer you're being attacked by an archer (or another enemy with a ranged attack).

yeah I think it takes time to realize you need to actively develop these habits. I've been working remotely full time for 2 years and it wasn't until about a month ago that I realized that I wasn't exercising and doing the things I said I was going to do because I didn't prioritize them or make them a habit. I'm just as busy now with my work as I was when I was in an office, but during the day my office mates and I would take afternoon walks regardless. Also, I got a lot of steps in by walking to and from the office to where ever I parked my car (city jobs amiright...). So yeah, I've finally started a routine to go to the gym in the AM before work and/or go for runs/walks around my neighborhood at some point during the day.

tl;dr; you have to actively work to develop these habits because it's easy to just sit and work the entire day

Controlling access to scarce resources, enforcing rights of individuals against infringement by others, protecting life and property are the main points that pop into my mind. It is true that they enforce these actions by creating and punishing "crimes," but I think its important to not reduce it to just that. It's important to note that there are limits to what they can call a crime.
> I could absolutely image people being willing to pay 1 one thousandth of a cent to read an article.

Oh, no, way more than that. Take a look at CPMs and ad costs. If your claim was true, and an article had 5 ads, every impression would cost 1/20,000 of a cent, and the CPM would be 5 cents.

Actual CPMs are a few dollars per thousand impressions, up to 10+ in developed markets. Which means that in the US, and article with, say, 5 ads would probably require you to pay 5 cents to view that article.

Take a look at the articles of ad-paid publications: you're more likely to see 10+ ads per page.

People carry credit cards that need nothing but a signature -- a real written autograph -- for small payments, I think the barrier to entry in terms of security is pretty low, and the comparison between app and SD storage or app and HW storage with the ability to control the platform is a notable difference, if small though in comparison to a sheer unlimited amount of risk.

I think it depends on the type of content. I'm totally with you for content that should be text (e.g. most things related to programming), but some content lends itself to the video form factor and doesn't work as plaintext content.

For example, imagine CinemaSins or Movies with Mikey as plaintext. That would take all of the fun out of it.

Or imagine reading transcripts of Stephen Colbert's monologues. Those would probably be quite tedious since a lot of Colbert's quality is his pantomimic object work.
My Dell XPS 13 9343 was similarly rather hit-or-miss on Ubuntu, despite it being the OS that shipped with their "Developer Edition". Fedora, on the other hand, worked fine--since it was brand new hardware, more than anything just having the bleeding edge kernel helped fix a bunch of the issues, except for the WiFi. I switched to an Intel card for that.

I've been taking public transit in Silicon Valley this week, which is fairly car centric. Unusually, because I live so close to work, my commute is 10 minutes via surface street. Corporate coaches don't stop near me, but a direct public bus route follows the same path with roughly the same travel time.

> 1) Time it takes to walk to the station.

Fortunately, there's a bus very near my section of the apartment building. It likely takes me longer to get my car out of the parking garage than to walk to the stop.

> 2) Waiting for an indeterminate amount of time, often in excess of 10 minutes, which is considered a good peak-hours frequency for some reason.

The bus here runs every 30 minutes. The keys here are flexibility, planning and predictability. If your schedule is flexible (mine is) then you're not stuck waiting 30 minutes for the next bus, you just need to be at the stop shortly before the 30 minute timer. Which means you kinda need to plan things out some, so your time isn't wasted.

Where this all falls down is predictability. Busses are incredibly bad here. The rides I've taken have been roughly 15 minutes late each, with a wide variance. That's what really kills the commute for me.

> 3) Standing-room-only, overcrowding, the relatively intense motor coordination task of staying upright while the bus lurches around, the unpleasantness of holding an arm over your head for tens of minutes.

At least when I take the bus, it's pretty light. Nothing like the free bus system I occasionally took working for a university. It's probably worse for longer commutes / Express busses where there's a ton of people who want to get from point A to a point B 50 miles way, but at least my bus there's a roughly even in/outflow.

There's only one coworker who gets off the bus with me, which I find a bit surprising given how convenient it is.

> 4) Difficulty of escape from someone trying to talk to you or polluting the cabin with the smell of urine or music from a shitty phone speaker.

Headphones work okay, but they're not a panacea for obnoxious people.

> 5) Absurd travel times 3-5x what it would take in a car due to frequent stops and use of surface streets.

That's what the commuter express is for.

So what tech innovations would help these concerns?

Well, Google maps has kinda deciphered business hours based on nearby cellphone usage and polling, it knows how delayed busses currently are, and could probably offer a predicted schedule.

Additionally, customers using commuter navigation apps like gmaps could probably provide additional insight into passenger needs. And if we're airing grievances, I could use an app feature that signals the driver to stop on my behalf, because 9 stops is not easily countable when you don't actually stop at every sign.
I think I was pushing the limits of what the service could handle with my fluid simulations. They're pretty choppy on first playback, but run smoothly the second time.
