The type of people who will spend $2k on these devices will probably (sadly) not be concerned about the phone having more than a two year lifespan. Also in two years, this thing will probably be $500 as 'new old stock' on eBay.

Maybe the understanding you are looking for is something that the mind is not interested in. You can hardly formulate the question and the only fair answer is to tell you to not ask the question before you get lost in it. The mantra of yoga and all that jazz was to stop wondering, to find focus. Finding the right words and understanding the problem are two orthogonal problems. Dualism is a good word, and separation is essential to learning. The consciousness just observes the subconsciousness, not the outside world. In that sense, dualism makes perfect sense, but it's only testable by introspection. Empathy helps recognizing that behavior in others. Recognition and socializing is much more important for consciousness than seeing. Even single celled organisms can detect light, but that doesn't count as consciousness. Yet we might call plants our friends, figuratively, and "theory" derives from a root "to perceive".
Users will always pay attention on what they miss out by using a lesser-known alternative, than what they gain.
Yes. We run bare VMs for this workload (n1-standard-X). They do in the event of hardware failure or other unexpected fault. Generally it does not get to that though, as google is fairly good at migrating your VMs off of a host if it detects it will fail soon.

Another strategy to help ditch the phone - try for a few days rating each day on a scale from -2 to 2 and recording a few notable things about each day. I learned about this technique from Jim Collins, who shared it on a podcast with Tim Ferriss[1]. Collins says sorting the spreadsheet is especially useful because you can see patterns and learn what separates good days from bad days.

I bring this up in relation to this article because after three days of doing this (for those interested, [-1, 0, 0]), I concluded distractions are the biggest reason I didn't go [2, 2, 2]. My phone for me at least is the #1 cause of distractions - simply looking at it and seeing a notification can derail my train of thought. Setting it on Do Not Disturb and only checking a set number of times I'm thinking will be helpful.

One more thing here - knowing that I need to rate myself at the end of each day absolutely is in the back of my mind during the day, which I think is a positive.

It was the first thing he said: there are very few real attacks that DNSSEC protects against. In other words: the benefit does not outweigh the cost.

That is a damning argument and there is nothing else to say, until someone (e.g. you, but don't feel pressured) comes forward with a good counter example.

Don't try to change the company. Leave and find a company that already offers what you want. That way is way easier IMO.
Linux seems equal in power management to Apple. On my ThinkPad X1 Carbon with the 57 W-h battery I get a good solid 8 hours of work and often the system consumes as little as 4W. My MacBook Pro with a 54.5 W-h battery runs for at most 4 hours. Now, it's true that I had to edit dozens of little configs to get the ThinkPad with Linux up to where a ThinkPad with Windows is right out of the box, such as enabling PCIe ASPM and making it still be enabled after resume from suspend, but to my knowledge there are not such power efficiency hacks available to the user on macOS, and it's bad by default.
Kinda like the HTC Evo 3D? There are zero 3D phone currently on the market.
These restaurants are somewhat common, and are usually run by Buddhists. I've never seen one that lacked a label; while the individual menu items might be confusing, there's usually a big clue.

Here's the one near my apartment, it has vegan in the name of the restaurant: http://www.gardenfresh.us/
Yep, first to market doesn't matter. First to useful does. Apple optimizes for the latter where integrating the new tech into a complete package that makes sense for the end user, rather than just being there for the sake of new.

This is a chestnut you can roll out in every discussion on new tech, because the history of tech is littered with new ideas poorly executed, then (usually) Apple coming along and defining how it should be done, and then everyone copying that.

Two recent examples I can think of of this phenomenon:

* Asus' ScreenPad, a screen stuffed into the trackpad. Completely not integrated into the overall experience and a total gimmick.

* Any Kinect-like product (LG's Project Tango phones, Intel RealSense, etc), which were essentially hardware demos without quality software to hit useful use cases

Recently learned about what I call the curse of consciousness: the ability and constant urge to question the world, this condition that comes with intelligence and never goes away.

So, what is consciousness? Life? How does the world works? Why didn't life come with an instruction manual? What is there to do? And why do I have so many questions that no one already solved?
Shale became economically viable due to fracking, whereas previously shale had to be steam heated to release the oil which is extremely energy intensive and thus expensive, which is why Shell tried it in the 70s but abandoned the tech.

A Web UI where you can click a button that says "Launch VM" given CPU/RAM/Disk requirements, after a few minutes it returns to you SSH credentials.

Don't use cloud services. Literally, spin up a VirtualBox VM from where the web server is also hosted. Bonus points if you can spin up a VM from another web server.
There's an important difference between asking "Is it ok..." (to abort/take property/whatever else) and asking "Is it theft...".

In essence, the argument is using our negative feelings about "theft" to distract us from the relevant question of "is it ok/good?".

It's a technique that works for any category of things where there's a spectrum from bad to good and you want to persuade someone that the good instances are actually bad.

To take the abortion example. You ask someone who's undecided on abortion, "Is it okay to abort the moment after birth? What about the moment before birth? An hour before birth? A day? A month? 8 months? The day after conception?"

Phrased this way, the answers are likely to change from "no" to "yes" at some point through the spectrum. The person will likely feel it's okay to kill a single celled zygote with no brain and no mind, but not okay to kill a freshly born baby, and this phrasing makes it easy to acknowledge the difference.

But you can muddy the waters by changing the question from "Is it okay..." to "Is it murder...". After all, if you consider it murder to abort a fetus just before birth, it's not obvious why you wouldn't categorized aborting younger fetuses as murder.

One reasonably answer might be that you could consider killing a fetus/embryo at any age to be murder, but that still doesn't make it wrong to kill at early stages.

A technically correct answer would be it's not murder because our legal definition of murder excludes abortion.

However, people presented with this argument often won't say either of these things, and that's why this technique is effective. It obfuscates the question we're actually interested in ("is it okay?") by breaking it into two parts. It's trying to convince you that 1) killing a fetus is murder, 2) murder is not okay, therefore killing a fetus is not okay. This is an obvious fallacy. If you change what's considered murder to include something that is okay, then you've invalidated 2). However, these last steps of the argument are usually subconscious and people miss the fallacy.

The taxation argument has the same problem. Sure, you can call taxation "theft" if you want, but that does nothing to explain why it's bad. Or we can stick to the official definition of theft, which excludes tax. Either way, they've failed to explain why tax is bad.
I know people have many different reasons for becoming vegetarian and that the poster I was replying to was not necessarily implying it was their sole reason. But it was clearly their primary reason, and it seems to very often be people's primary or sole reason.

And to be clear, I also have no problem with people doing it for selfish reasons.
I'm guessing you're relatively tech savvy and enjoy troubleshooting (within reason). Most people aren't, of course.
hard to enjoy the parts that work great when you have a corrupted grub boot loader, nonfunctional networking and graphic driver issues.
I get that some people don't like linux, but some of these examples are just ridiculous.

Linux is administered by ssh therefore administrators don't know how to check so therefore they don't bother to update systems because "they're afraid that something will break." C'mon.
The usual comparisons are easy to misinterpret since insect productivity is often quoted on a dry weight basis and the data is less robust. But it appears to be as efficient as chicken, or possibly slightly better.

Well, idealism is another option.

I'm not sure how easy it is even with idealism to make "Why am I I?" a meaningful question. But, if our choice is between viewing that question as a pointer to some profound mystery on the one hand, or viewing it as simply a case of muddle-headed confusion on the other, the allegiance of my heart is with the first choice rather than the second.
Apple is a major innovator in the bendable phone space, they were way ahead of the rest of the market with the iPhone 6 back in 2014.

I don't think that's what's being asked for. What would be valuable here is simply having a GSM/LTE radio with sim slot. I realize it would most likely be properitery/closed source (are there open source cell antennas/firmware?) but at least having that option would be way more useful than Wi-Fi.
The JAGMAN investigation is the legal/administrative investigation.

The Safety Investigation Board is separate, and privileged.

FNAEB investigates the crew, and usually follows a Class A mishap ($2m damage or hull loss, or death/permanent disabling injury) but can be triggered by near-miss or pilot flathatting etc.

A friend is a retired Naval aviator, said the #1 reason aviators get permanently grounded from the fleet, is refusal to accept responsibility for mistakes that they were clearly responsible for. Things like forgetting to set the altimeter correctly before takeoff, causing a serious near-miss or pilot deviation. Honestly and fully admitting their mistakes, is more likely to result in a FNAEB returning them to the fleet. Asoh Defense comes to mind.[0]

You would think so, but that's not the case. The problem is that people who receive donations don't have any special status with the payment processor. They are treated like any other vendor, so chargebacks are handled the same way.
An other view of the history of Internet network security is largely the history of plain text protocols getting encryption and authentication. As much as some is arguing against the introduction of authentication in DNS, there are a similar push in the opposite direction where people instead want to add encryption.

For now most of that discussion is the two dominating methods to get encryption and authentication between the user and recursive resolver, but there are plenty of good reasons why we want the same standard of security between recursive resolver and authoritative resolver.
or tetris.
The diversity efforts of business is all about the ego. To me it looks like insecurity. A fear that women are or appear inferior necessitates action to prove that isn't the case, even to the point of giving them an unusual benefit of the doubt to help increase their representation. No doubt, if 0 women are participating entrepreneurs, there is probably a lot of untapped potential. The idea should be to unblock women and not to throw them into the fire in order to get a metric up.

Any smart business will ignore diversity in an effort to maximize the bottom line, because skin color and genitals of the CEO do nothing for an ad agency or a customer trying to purchase a smart phone app.
A calculator processes maybe 64bits, in a machinery that is rather limited, certainly not enough to emulate it's environment, unless a more complex machine operates it.

It may be partly the games fault, you are in a space ship with stuff around yourself that you need to physically look at to interact with (and by look at, I mean you need to point your head at it, there is no eye tracking), so i'll often take my hands off the keyboard, spin my head and use both hands on the joystick and buttons, then have to quickly find the home row again right after.

But I do think a part of it is that my brain has gotten very used to having the general location of the keyboard. So for instance I know the home row (for my left hand) is middle of the keyboard vertically, and on the left side horizontally. I'll quickly find the middle vertically by touch, but then I search for the nub on the f key next and if I was only a few keys too far to the right, I'll find j instead and then instantly assume I'm at the right spot, and it's quite jarring when it's wrong!

With sight, I'm able to know and move my hand toward the right hand side without feeling around more than a key in any direction for the most part.

Aren’t computers just a hack of physics laws? I think the line between a hack and genuine software is more blurry than what we would assume.
Yeah, when I said "somewhere else" I was kind of scoping it to this universe. I know, so small-minded.

Note though that an infinite universe doesn't imply that everything imaginable occurs within it. There are an infinite number of even integers, but none of them is 3.
A single board seat doesn't imply control over direction. As long as you have more than 1 seat or the chairmans extra vote the founders are still in effective control. Granted there may be provisions in the shareholders agreement that limit certain activities, but as thats a negotiated doc the aim is to have something both parties are aligned on.

At the end of the day, you should aim to have an investor you would want on the board. Someone that brings something to the table themselves, something you don't have. They have already brought money, so not that, but it could be strategic, including assisting in future fundraising activities, or assisting with introductions. VCs especially see a lot of companies through their lifecycle and as such typically have better knowledge of optimising for global VS local maximums in strategy. They also obviously are keenly aware of founder pitfalls.

Preference is a different story. Multiples are obviously rightly controversial, and you could definitely argue that single preference as downside protection is unfair. Note however that a VC has their own equation that argues in favor of this (founders aligned to better exits, returns support future funds and founders). At the end of the day you cant always perfectly align founders & investors, so its a negotiation.
As a long time vegetarian and off-and-on vegan, I suspect you'll be less disappointed if you look for and cook meals that just don't include meat, rather than substituting it for something else. There are tons of them, and many are incredibly tasty.

Indian restaurants, for example, often have entire sections of the menu that are vegan or vegetarian without substituting in fake meat.

It's a little more work initially, but after a while you won't miss the meat, whereas if you're eating fake burgers you're going to be reminded they're fake every time you eat one.
None of these have ever happened to me, and I started with slackware. (Maybe once around y2k a nic wasn’t supported but after waiting six months it was.)

A “rock we tricked into thinking.”
> > "If every investor..."

This is already a thing, and it is starting to look like an incredibly bad idea. Well over a year ago I had lunch with my financial advisor and he tried to sell me on a portfolio balanced on some kind of social responsibility metric (female board member ratio, carbon credits, etc). At the time I thought it was just a new way to separate morons from their money, but now I'm starting to think that the US markets are setting themselves up for a fungibility attack. I remember, many years ago, the debate on bitcoin tainting - keeping a register of illegally obtained coins (and leaf transactions) and refusing to accept them. That is obviously an attack on the utility of the currency - a unit of value.

So what is the metric here, what is the new unit of value? The best case outcome is a Tower of Babel pandemonium, worst case is an irreversible further consolidation of kingmaking power.
> If you need an always-connected phone capable of making calls from the side of the road or wherever you happen to be, WiPhone is not that phone. However, if you're like most of us, 80% or more of your time is spent near accessable WiFi.

Except the 20% of the time where I'm not near wifi is when it's often the most useful to be able to use a phone -- when I'm on the side of the road with a car problem, for instance.
That's part of the propaganda. "Idk what I'd do without my job". It's not hard to come up with productive activities that aren't sitting in an office. I mean it's not trivial, but neither is spending 40 years of your life scraping for one more rung on the ladder.

Don't get me wrong im usually bored when I'm out of work. But that's more because when I'm not working I also don't have money to do other meaningful things.
I have to say that that sounds like a solution no user would actually want. You effectively did answer all of GP's questions with no.

> there are in fact infinite identical versions of you

But when I say (or think) "I", am I saying or thinking of any specific one of those versions? How could I be? It seems, if there are infinite number of identical copies of me, when I say "I", I must mean all of them equally.

That's an exceptionally and offensively clueless thing to say. I speak from hard experience.

We are in this to make money, it's not a side project. Marketing is almost impossible without tracking and I'm not going to say I like it, but I haven't found a way to do without it. I like open source/not tracking/privacy, but it's not my religion. This project would be dead already if we couldn't run Facebook ads.

The phone is for people who want hardware that can be used for hacking. We don't have any code that does anything related to tracking in the phone, and once it's released anyone can verify that.

That page is static, so I don't see how https is relevant.

Right now there is no security whatsoever. We are still getting the system to work, and work reliably. If enough people buy one we will probably add some sort of transport layer encryption.

Why not use one of those mobile hotspots? Sure, it's one extra thing to carry around; but now your phone always works.
Totally agree. Actually I think were are worse in that laptops and workstations are more potent drugs than the phone ever could be. People will be glued to their phones in public, but we don't even bother to go out into public.
For a phenomenological treatment, see The Spell of the Sensuous by David Abram.

The idea that consciousness exists throughout the world as a gradient is not new.

The modern industrial conception of mind (newly transformed by the technological revolution) prescribes a more limited domain for theories of the mind.
There are a lot of different sizes and kinds of thoughts. With very few exceptions I find that my staring-at-the-phone thoughts are small, fast thoughts.

When you get into the habit of filling every bored moment with whatever you can find in the phone, you start to lose the ability to stare off into space - maybe out of the window, maybe close your eyes - and let your brain put together bigger thoughts.

It doesn’t help that there are a lot of things on your phone designed explicitly to try and addict you to them, either. It can be hard to put down the phone even when you know damn well you’ve gone through everything interesting in whatever apps you’re addicted to.
What if someone steals my credit card and "donates" $1000 to a nazi political party?
Does it really matter? If you are in China, sure, but if you are a non-Chinese citizen you are better off having someone else than your local version of NSA harvest your data. It is not like some other nations police will knock down your door or put you on a watch-list that gets you anal probed at the local airport.

I would worry a lot more about NSA, Apple, Google and Facebook (if you are American at least) than Huawei.
I think so. I mean yeah lot of people are poor now while working, but at least they have that. If tomorrow everything was automated, we have no structures in place to handle double digit % unemployment. That's now how welfare is designed. So a lot of people would have less than min wage workers.
