You spend more time on your laptop because it has a more suitable form factor. That doesn't mean it should be more expensive. As far as actual technical features go your phone does more and the form factor makes it even more difficult to manufacture.
It's annoying when sites require a Facebook account to join theirs, Facebook has become an alternate official ID in this country.
This makes implementation easier for other sites, which is actually a good thing. You can make a throwaway facebook account and use it on *all* the sites you would otherwise have to create multiple throwaway accounts for.
I can't control if someone else posts a picture of me on facebook and associates my name with it.
Sounds like it's the someone else who's violating your privacy, not facebook. They could just as easily post the picture on their personal blog (which is a lot of what people use facebook for).
facebook annoys me every night I go to bed and my wife spends the next three hours facebooking people.
Again, that sounds like a relationship issue between you and your wife, not you and facebook. She could easily spend hours playing a mobile game and make you just as upset.
How do you figure? The Pixel is a joke. The "obvious" replacement for the Note7 is the Note5. Here's a list of other phones that have more to offer than the pixel XL:
Nexus 6P: dual front facing speakers, $450
Moto Z: front facing speaker, moto mods, microSD, $700
ZTE Axon 7: dual front facing speakers, microSD, $400
The 5.5" QHD version with a decent amount of storage (no SD slot) is > $850. The camera can't be that compelling. There's nothing else about it that every other manufacturer hasn't done already a year ago for much cheaper.
It doesn't change the height of the phone, but you're right it's not much different. My point was that you can't have an internally hot swappable battery.
So you want to be able to hot swap the only power source the phone has? I think you're living in a fantasy world. The Moto Z mod doesn't appreciably change the outline of the phone, only the thickness. It's pretty much the best you're going to get if hot swappable batteries is what you want.
From your CNBC source (I'm not even going to look at the Breitbart one):
Theoretically, these new entrants could include someone who is not born yet. While they have to account for these future liabilities on their financial statements they do not have to fund them if they are not related to their current or former workforce."
This seems to neatly sum up the differing viewpoints on the matter. From what I gather they don't have to start diverting real cash 75 years ahead (your talking point), but when they report the state of their finances they have to assume the liability 75 years ahead. People not born yet are, by law, affecting USPS financial reports.
Xposed is a good solution, but Amplify would be preferred over Xprivacy if you're more concerned about battery life. You can directly limit Google's alarm to wake up your phone and take location data. I went from thousands of alarms per day from GPServices (by far the top) to a couple hundred (about on par with Tasker) and it massively improves standby battery life.
You start by taxing the hell out of capital gains. When people end up with millions more than they even want to spend, they'll invest it regardless of the tax rate. You have to keep up with inflation somehow, and really there's nothing else you can do with it.
Because then you already have a database of "usernames" for your friends and family. It makes a lot of sense actually, hence the popularity of WhatsApp which is really just another instant messaging service.

Machines have owners. Those owners would make more than the basic income which incentives them to invest in the machines.

I'm never going to pay more for a phone than a laptop...
Why? Barring x86 a smartphone does more. Especially the Note.

The chance of surviving a cabin fire is pretty slim.
Citation? There's oxygen for each passenger and fire extinguishers. Plus everything is made to be non-flammable.
Curious how you expect Hillary will "screw us over".
Would you be willing to pay for that directly? Most people expect CM to be free.

NO flagship phone allows for hotswapping of a backup battery
Not true. The Moto Z has hot swappable battery extender mods.

I haven't had the Steam client do something amazingly stupid in ages.
Get a steam controller. It's quite buggy.

Buy a Nexus 9
all smart watches, really
I think you contradict yourself. It seems you found a smartwatch that has the right set of features for your wants/needs.
Now, the bespoke phone can't upgrade to a 24Gigapixel camera, or a laser bar code scanner, or whatever foolishness without a complete re-design
Not true.
Wireless charging
You can. Just get a wireless router.

That one's even easier to stop than having to use encryption.

And what does the Xbone do that steam can't?
