Perhaps a dumber phone isn't the best answer. Here are some other things to try to help with your smartphone addiction.

First - delete all your addictive social media apps from your phone. If there are some you can use without issue then you can keep those. I have LinkedIn installed on my phone, for example.

Second - use a strong password generator for all your social media sites you do use. Only keep those passwords on your laptop/workstation, not your phone. This prevents you from being able to use your phone's web browser to go to the social media sites. I use FB to keep in touch with family and friends, but I have no idea what my password is and I certainly couldn't login from my phone. I visit FB in the morning while having my first coffee using my laptop and so it's easy to time box.

Third - why the notifications? Your phone shouldn't be bleeping and blooping and squawking all day long. That's distracting. I disable almost all audio notifications, enable some banner notifications, and enable most badges. If I notice any of those notification methods causing me any kind of anxiety or distraction then I disable it. This works wonders for your computer too - your notifications should be for things that are actually important and require your attention, not a post where your buddy is sharing pictures of what he's having for lunch.

If you've removed your ability to engage with social media on your phone then what can you do? For starters, you have a great point-and-shoot digital camera/video recorder in your pocket. You also have a GPS receiver. You have a radio (Spotify) or a music player (your music app). All in once device.

You also have your ID and a means to pay - so technically you no longer need a waller. In my town you're going to need your phone in order to pay for parking. Sorry, there's an app for that and that's what you have to use to pay. Many bars and restaurants these days no longer provide menus and simply give you a QR code that takes you to the menu. Public Transportation is increasingly reliant on phones - again I don't need a wallet to carry my metro card. By the time you have a phone capable of doing all these things you're firmly back into the smartphone territory.

Finally, do you have hobbies? Are there apps that support your hobby? I'm a musician. I have Garage Band on my iPhone. I can be enjoying a walk and have an inspiration and quickly capture an idea that I can work on later. I could go on and on - there's actually many music apps I use - and I don't have to drag my laptop to my buddy's house whenever we want to jam together.

Your best strategy isn't to get a dumber phone, but to get smarter in how you use your smartphone. Make your smartphone work for you, don't become a slave to it!
Ok fair point, but if run it additionally on a Mac, you should be completely safe.
Solzhenitsin was also a right wing Russian nationalist who was absolutely part of the problem. That "realism that approaches Tolstoy's" you mentioned is actually mostly folklore and vastly exaggerated for propaganda purposes (see https://www.nytimes.com/1974/02/06/archives/solzhenitsyns-ex...).

> Solzhenitsyn's Greater Russian, Orthodox-driven nationalism, Elder notes, "once made him appear sorely out of touch, but today has become increasingly fashionable." Although he is best known for his exposure of the Soviet Gulag system and his staunch anti-communism, Solzhenitsyn welcomed Putin's rise to power in 1999 and praised him for restoring Russia's national pride. In 2007, Putin visited the ailing Solzhenitsyn at home to award him a state prize for his humanitarian work. In "Rebuilding Russia," published in the dying days of the U.S.S.R., Solzhenitsyn criticized the Soviet government's haphazard border policies that he said carved up traditional "Rus." He advocated a "Russian Union" encompassing Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and the ethnic Russian parts of Kazakhstan.

PVA glue will indeed dry in a vacuum bag. Most wood glues used for veneer pressing or lamination are indeed PVA glues and vacuum pressing is one of the best ways to get an even clamping pressure on complex or bent laminations.

PVA glue cures by eliminating moisture from the glue, and the low pressure of the vacuum will serve to accelerate the loss of moisture from the glue.
FTA:

> Even though the UE authenticates the tower there are still several messages that it sends, receives, and trusts before authentication happens or w/o authentication. This is the weak spot in which the vast majority of 4G
attacks happen

I'm a layman but here's my understanding. Imagine you're a police force and you know a criminal has a phone with IMEI of ABC123. You think the criminal might have a headquarters inside a warehouse but you want to be sure they're there before conducting a raid. Set up one of these, on arrival the target phone tells the fake tower what its IMEI is when within range, and you've got them.
> Banking the unbanked

I first heard this line eight years ago and so far this hasn't happened.

If you are unbanked, it's because you have little money, and you want to put it into something stable and something where you are protected - in other words, the exact opposite of cryptocurrencies.

> protection against hyperinflation,

In 2022, cryptocurrencies have experienced over 100% inflation. Your one bitcoin today will buy less than half the goods and services it would have half a year ago.

Cryptocurrencies are almost as old as the smartphone. You can't keep promising something useful and never delivering, forever.
thanks. i was assuming it was some sort of unit testing thing. "expect" foo to equal bar kinda stuff.
StepN sounds like a ponzi scheme with extra steps.
If smart people were smarter they’d open their wallets and support the things they like. Instead the reaction is often, why would I pay so much for something that I could build myself.

So the real market is for the very smart people and that’s an even smaller minority.

I built super advanced tech but was intentionally screwed over by my large corporate customers, just because they could, so I quit the industry and that super advanced tech doesn’t exist anymore. Unfortunately a lot of really cool things will live and die with me. I’ve fought the good fight and failed.

We can lament that people are not smarter but there isn’t anything we can do about it.
As opposed to any other Eastern/Central European country? Is (e.g.) Poland's history any less turbulent?
If you're already doing this and buying an instance with monero, you're just buying Mullvad service with monero as well for the 10% discount they offer for it.

While true, changing jobs has a cost for the employee too. Its a cost benefit analysis. I often find being in a new job provides opportunity to quickly level up by using learnings from prior jobs. But sometimes the new job is just different enough that you're investing more time in learning the ropes and making connections than getting ahead, and it can be a while before you can start to have an impact. If you're already capable and empowered at the current place (or better yet, promoted by the counter offer), it can be mutually beneficial to stay beyond monetary reasons.
From a business perspective layoffs aren't the ship sinking but simply adjusting heading.
I've also seen this kind of operations in mobile games.

At Supercell, they have some old titles generating around 400K of revenue per day, with a minimal team working on new features, fixing bugs, looking after numbers and trends, managing ads... All of that with less than 15 people.

Of course this is not the same scale, but they have a LOT of daily users, and at their peak the company was about 200 people.

And I've been there, I can tell you that there is ample slack, most of them are barely working.

I'm going to challenge this because I think it suggests that reading the Russian classics is an intellectual challenge with a perquisite of studying Russian history and culture.

Dostoyevsky's works are amazing without any background knowledge. No 'intellectualism' is required, just a love of stories. With a few tweaks they could be set in a modern era and turned into Netflex series.

War and Peace is considered a challenge because of the rambling philosophical chapters between the main action, but strip those out and you have Gone with the Wind. Easily enjoyed without any extra frontal lobe matter.

Chevron deference is a federal doctrine related to self-interpretation of statutory powers by federal agencies.

It has no direct relevance to state agencies operating under state law. Some states do/did have equivalent doctrines, but many have explicitly forbidden judicial deference to administrative agencies either via statute law or via binding precedent created by their own supreme courts.

Everything being discussed in this thread is a matter of state-level policy that varies drastically among states, and has no direct relation to federal agencies or the way they apply federal statutes.
> Perfect, so there's basically almost free money on the table for those wanting to invest in this.

This is true. Have you ever actually tried to take advantage of free money though, when there's a cartel of giant corporations currently profiting from it not being done?. Harder than it looks. For starters they can convince a lot of people that the free money doesn't even exist. And once you convince someone to publicly state opinions like "renewables are expensive" or "EVs are worse for the environment" humans have a real hard time accepting new information that contradicts their previous public pronouncements. But early Tesla (and other EV related) stockholders for example, got rewarded for their attention to physical reality.

I guess we'll need to wait to see how it turns out this time but "The global green hydrogen market size was valued at USD 0.3 Billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 9.8 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 54.7% from 2021 to 2028" so either we're going to make a lot of money, or waste a lot of money.

> And then we get to transportation costs, afaik we're nowhere close to getting hydrogen-powered vehicles into mass production.

Hydrogen powered vehicles are mostly less efficient than battery (and/or directly electrified) alternatives, so while better (which includes cheaper) than many current options, they're not going to be a big thing. But Hydrogen is and will be, just made with electricity not fossil fuels in future.

Appropriately, one of the advantages of green hydrogen derived fertilizers, is that you don't need to transport fossil gas around the world and then expend a lot of energy seperating it into hydrogen, you can just generate the hydrogen and then the ammonia basically anywhere you have access to sun and air. Places with no methane reserves, high transport costs, and lots of sunshine will be where the green ammonia S-curve starts its ascent.

The transport and production of fossil fuels is an absolutely astounding percentage of our current energy use. Half of all current global Hydrogen production is used in the desulpherisation of fossil fuels for example.

> the only utility I see in cryptocurrency is the anonymous and decentralized transfer of value.

> However interestingly the coins that do this well like Monero are not seeing wide adoption.

The regulators would like you to pick one trait of (not so) 'anonymous' or (not so) 'decentralized' cryptocurrencies.

Those that can fully guarantee both decentralization and privacy are the privacy coins like Monero, MobileCoin, Grin, Zcash, etc (To some extent Litecoin with mimblewimble privacy) which will basically be banned from exchanges as they are attractive to money laundering, illegal activity, ransomware and payments between criminals and scammers. No legitimate business wants to be associated with that, hence why they haven't got any wide spread legitimate adoption.

But they all do have widespread adoption with illegal activity.

You could produce final binaries for QA & shipping with the qualified one, and develop with something faster? Sort of analogous to 'optimisations' and debug symbols.
Market share isn't a good measure unless you can clearly define the market. Make it too narrow and they are at 100%< make it too broad they are near 0% ... especially complicated with products you don't (directly) pay for ...
Amazon was basically the best internet shopping experience in Germany between 2002 and 2015 or so. Initally free shipping for everything over 20€ (and books), easy returns, trustworthy reviews, great prices, good brands, giant catalogue of products... Nowadays, not so much. Also other retailers have caught up, but still the ease (and good memories) of shopping at amazon remain and thus people still somehow like it. But it won't last if they don't get their shit together. There's no lock-in like in social media (and people in Germany don't like paying extra for prime).

For some reason, people have a disproportionate trust in city-building game designers' view of civic planning. Magnasanti is meaningful because it exposes some of the biases and simplifications that pervade the genre.

The reason certain strategies work in city-building games isn't because they're realistic simulations of how cities function and those strategies would work in real life, it's because it's a game made by human designers who decided that that's a strategy that should work, or made certain assumptions (that may or may not be true) while designing the game's systems that allow the strategy to work.

Some select quotes:

> How SimCity’s hidden ideology affects the people who play it is difficult to untangle. An article from 1992 quotes a player saying “I became a total Republican playing this game,” and even modern versions of the game contain oddly conservative viewpoints, including a preference for regressive taxation.

> On more than one occasion, politicians have been “tested” in the game to see how well they can manage a pretend city.
> Google can have the advertising dollars since they are the 80 ton gorilla, but I can't see how anyone can trust them with anything critical to the running of your business.

Well that's my point - you might end up in a situation where you cannot use them for advertising and where you won't have many viable alternatives.

And it seems like Google will just get away with automation like that, either due to manual support just not being possible at that scale, or for other reasoning of theirs, without mechanisms in place for you to bypass the automation and actually get a solution for your problem, unless you operate at a certain scale.

> Everything cannot be litigated. Litigation is expensive and time consuming.

Anything that can't be litigated should not be done. The due process clause is there for a reason -- if the only mechanism that ensures that due process is being followed, and the constitution is being obeyed, is not able to be applied to the execution of a given policy, then that policy should be preemptively off-limits until it can be retooled to make the necessary oversight feasible.
And there you have it, the evidence does point to the origin being a wet market in Wuhan. It was not a leak from a laboratory.
This seems like a silly extra step to add when you can just purchase Mullvad service directly with monero for a 10% discount.

It might even be more likely to deanonymize you since you're forced to interact with a physical thing. It's an extra step in the obfuscation chain that adds personal information (mailing address at least) that wouldn't be added otherwise.

I suppose if you were forced to use a non anonymous crypto like bitcoin that can be easily tracked, there might be some value to this extra step.

IMO, there's two reasons why they won't tell you why you're suspended:

* It may reveal their own wrongdoing.

Ahh I see. So if I may use an analogy:

I have an html page with all my details, etc. Then say I want to create a markdown version of it, or a pdf version, or a docx version.

The first approach would be to manually rewrite my details to each format, as markdown, as pdf, as docx, essentially duplicating work each time.

The second approach, which is akin to defunctionalisation, would be to separate my details (data) from the format. So that would mean I would store my data in json format, then use a cli tool/program to generate it in html format, in pdf format, or in docx format.

I hope I got the basic idea right.
I don’t think this is right. Germany, for example, has 9 countries on its borders and a blood-curdling history, and it’s a very pleasant place now. The idea that a country of 145M people lacking the agency to move forward doesn’t pass the smell test. I think it’s clear that Russia has some deeply-seated cultural problems that fuel this kind of thing.

None of this, of course, makes the banishment of Russian cultural products (especially old ones) any more reasonable. We’ve got to get better at separation of concerns.
