Maybe when in their 40s, they've made enough to be effectively retired? Otherwise, given the commitments you mentioned, they'd likely never be in a position to branch out.

Maybe some founders are younger because that's the window. They are old enough to be at the staff level (experience) and yet young enough to not quite be ready to have children. Whether they know it or not, startups usually fail within the first year and the most common difference between year acquired and year founded is 3. If they fail, they'd likely do it just in time to settle down and have children on schedule.
Are there any good PPT decks, workshop material or some such you all recommend to build on top of? I'd be keen to teach a few classes or run a few workshops for local campaigns, and it seems this area must be ripe with smart people having put together material to build on already
I skimmed it and that site seems highly sensationalist. I don’t know if that a good documentary. A couple of things from the site:

“Operating independently from its governments...”

Are the agencies involved not part of their governments? Am I missing something?

“Hackers Can Disable a Sniper Rifle—Or Change Its Target...”

It wants me to post this to social media. What’s the context of this quote? It gives none. It seems like it wants me to post clickbait.

Why are you repeatedly advocating for jailing the homeless in this thread? It's totally unethical and having imprisonment records now on innocent persons would impede any future job prospects to pull them out of homelessness. This is the wrong approach in all circumstances.

Thank Goodness. I've been advocating for funders to insist on open publication of results (and more) for over a decade:
https://pdfernhout.net/open-letter-to-grantmakers-and-donors...
"Foundations, other grantmaking agencies handling public tax-exempt dollars, and charitable donors need to consider the implications for their grantmaking or donation policies if they use a now obsolete charitable model of subsidizing proprietary publishing and proprietary research. In order to improve the effectiveness and collaborativeness of the non-profit sector overall, it is suggested these grantmaking organizations and donors move to requiring grantees to make any resulting copyrighted digital materials freely available on the internet, including free licenses granting the right for others to make and redistribute new derivative works without further permission. It is also suggested patents resulting from charitably subsidized research research also be made freely available for general use. The alternative of allowing charitable dollars to result in proprietary copyrights and proprietary patents is corrupting the non-profit sector as it results in a conflict of interest between a non-profit's primary mission of helping humanity through freely sharing knowledge (made possible at little cost by the internet) and a desire to maximize short term revenues through charging licensing fees for access to patents and copyrights. In essence, with the change of publishing and communication economics made possible by the wide spread use of the internet, tax-exempt non-profits have become, perhaps unwittingly, caught up in a new form of "self-dealing", and it is up to donors and grantmakers (and eventually lawmakers) to prevent this by requiring free licensing of results as a condition of their grants and donations."

I have been using only open source apps for the last year. For basic stuff like podcast streaming and IM the Foss stuff is better than the proprietary stuff. For complex things like maps and assistants its like taking a step 5 years back in the past.

OSM and is no where near as good as google maps at most things but its still perfectly usable.

The average person probably won't be happy with a purely foss phone right now but if its something you care about then it can be done fairly easily.

You seem to be totally focused on and upset about security, but I don't know that security is the only or number 1 point of this phone, or they ever claimed security parity with Apple. (Unless Apple or a government with power over them is part of your threat model, of course.) I think it's primarily about respecting user freedoms to control their software, which the iPhone and Android score terribly on. So your post comes off a bit unfair in my view.

> Your options are to increase the number of bits used, which puts off the overflow, or you could work with infinite precision arithmetic, which would slowly use up the available memory and finally bring the system down.

Pedantically true for an infinite universe, but merely moving the counter to 64 bits would give one 2^32 * 248 days, lets say we only use 30 bits, we still on the order of a billion years for 4 extra bytes.

> And this drives insurance costs through the roof

That's an interesting claim. Any firsthand data to back it up?

For me, insuring a 2014 Tesla Model S cost less ($405) than insuring a 2006 Toyota Prius ($429). Six-month period, Progressive Insurance, California, no accident history, identical coverage on both except the estimated mileage was 5,000 annually on the Prius and 12,000 annually on the Tesla -- that's right, driving the Tesla more than the Prius.

It's odd that insurance would be lower for the Tesla if it's supposed to be "through the roof."

(and for what it's worth, our Model X is even lower -- $337 for six months. Again, identical coverage.)
mmap and malloc do very different things. You didn't really clarify why you thought malloc() was bad, or why you think someone should call mmap(), so I'm mostly left to guess.

mmap, for example, is free to require that the requested range be a multiple of a page; trying to use it as if it were malloc() would, on such systems, cause any allocations less than a page to require a whole page. And since this is a rather common case, you'd be using a ton more memory.

malloc(), however, can subdivide a large allocation from the OS into small allocations for the process; it is my understanding that most modern malloc()s will do this, in some form. (It is also my understanding that some malloc() implementations will use mmap() for allocating memory from the OS…)
Well it obviously has a negative effect but the reports are giving me 10 crashes per day and there are 100 more uninstalls so even if 1 crash = 1 uninstall, why are the other 90 ppl uninstalling...
1) Create the conversion funnel.
EG: clicked ad -> installed app -> registered -> engaged with new user flow -> used product part a -> purchased product part b. What parts should they see and use all broken down. As they progress in the funnel they are more engaged.

2) Fill in all the stats of the conversion funnels. This will give you a baseline to answer: Did my modifications help or make it worse. EG: clicked ad -> installed app will be a %50 drop. installed app -> registered was a 20% drop. Amplitude works fine here.

3) Get a steady stream of users in. Ads, forums, social anything. Just a handful so you can see if you are changing things in 2).

4) Setup user testing. (UXCam <- makes VIDEOS of mobile sessions) This will let you see videos of EVERYTHING a person did. Watch each user's behavior 10 times. Over and over. Get to the point where you know what happens next.

5) This is the hard part. Make some change. See if it changes 2). Changes made in the early part of the funnel will change how many people TRY your app. Changes made in the later portion will change how many people STAY in your app.

6) Do 5) until you give up. Over and over. Then if you can't make 2) better quit.

7) If your cost of user acquisition is less than your profit. Run to a VC as fast as possible and pour gas all over it [or not].
The stuff on https://techsolidarity.org/ has been peer-reviewed and battle-tested repeatedly, and is where I would start. When it comes to this stuff I think it's as much about what you don't train as what you do. There's a lot of security nerd orthodoxy that is of negative value when you've only got an hour, one time, to raise the level of a campaign.
Although the iPhone is at only 16% market share based on units sold, they're at 51% based on revenue. Apple is selling fewer devices at a higher price point. I anticipate that, for the next few years at least, Tesla and other EV makers will see a similar situation. Other manufacturers may sell more units, but they will find it difficult to compete with Tesla at their price point.

Wow, so, you really believe that asking people to lock up their important messages to you, using a public key that you've provided through a verified, alternate non-email channel really won't work?

PGP actually does do something about incoming email attachments. It offers the opportunity to programmatically reject anything that is non-encrypted ASCII text, and renders malicious files as non-executable ASCII text, when such policies are properly enforced. At this point, the promiscuous user is protected from delving deeper into emails. The server can effectively isolate attachments entirely, by proxying mail delivery, and refusing to decrypt attachments automatically. This would further defend against account compromise, through practices that require special handling of attachments. Email then becomes a medium of communication, rather than file transfer, and file transfer is pushed to other protocols and applications.

Sort of like a point-and-call policy. Forcing a user to cognitively jump through hoops to discover the contents of an attachment, when they should really be using email for the exchange of messages with humans, or automated control messages, such as multi-factor auth. Doing something like this limits email to character data only, rather than interpretable instructions. You know, much in the way we don't execute JavaScript from an email context.

Kay found the web distasteful.

“his conception of the World Wide Web was infinitely tinier and weaker and terrible. His thing was simple enough with other unsophisticated people to wind up becoming a de facto standard, which we’re still suffering from. You know, [HTML is] terrible and most people can’t see it.”

Discord supports all those things, really well. Far better than Skype.
I agree with you, but the issue here is that in traditional phone architectures, the baseband processor could interrupt and monitor the execution of the main CPU (for efficiency purposes). So theoretically you couldn't be certain that your plaintext wasn't being exfiltrated. With a separate baseband, it's a lot harder (but possible) for a blackbox CPU to exfiltrate your info.
> And in 99% of my use cases, a used Corolla or Accord will provide a similar experience.

Is it just me, or does a foreign car not seem to impress a date the way a Corvette does?
"The two largest smartphone vendors have large, world-class security teams that do things like audit their basebands. Has Purism?"

(and some other points that, I think, miss the point)

Once the baseband is isolated as a USB peripheral and the radio modules are physically pluggable modules ... and have kill switches ... the appropriate comparison is no longer to other phones. The appropriate comparison is to a PC, like a laptop.

This:

https://puri.sm/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2018-07-26-dev-ki...

... has the shape of a phone, but that sure looks like a PC to me.

I am happy running a PC without a secure enclave, with a USB cellular modem attached, and with only hazy knowledge of the baseband running on that (in my case) USB stick.
Your second para here is quite a profound statement!

Edit: Apparently HN readers can no longer parse even the blatantly obvious sarcasm. The above more or less accurate one-line summary of numerous ill-informed responses to Kay's criticism of modern computing. People cannot wrap their minds around the fact that the ideas he promotes are _still_ several conceptual generations ahead of currently popular tooling. No matter how "efficient" this tooling may seem at the moment.

If Evernote hasn't found a set of features people would be willing to pay for in their ten years of existing, I doubt another round of funding is really the solution.

No, they weren't infallible. They were however, experienced in human nature and saw tyranny/ death in ways you only imagine.
