..which will be needed on Mars... but still just hot air. This is not Kennedy saying we will go to the moon. This is a president on his way out making a speech that will likely not be followed up on by any new administration.
Is this so different from children who are taught to believe that they have a soul? The programming language is different, but the pseudo-code boils down to the same thing.
If you find yourself stranded on a desert island with an iPhone and no bars, you're screwed. If you have the superior Samsung phone, just activate the signal flare feature when a plane goes by.
Except for the fact that you are stranded on the island because you phone caught fire and crashed your flight.
What if the 'social upheaval' is justified? What if it is technically allowed by the 1st amendment? What if they tell the president that riots are due to start in xyz town and move in the National Guard, even though those riots are due to true injustice that needs to be addressed?
Can the government stop speech before it happens? What does that leave for the already shattered remnants of democracy?
I have to disagree with most of what you said. I have been in IT for 20 years (first linux was kernel 1.2.8 I think). I can compile kernels, troubleshoot buggy packages, and many more things besides. When I pull my phone out though, I don't want to have to add a repository using an on screen keyboard, just to get a package to make another app play a specific video codec. I don't want to have to jigger with a grub configuration when a new kernel install broke my boot.
Regular users don't want this either. There is little to no market for what you propose.
However, Android is not abandonware. It is regularly updated and patched. It is the phone vendors/carriers that would rather push you to a new phone than go to the expense of testing and implementing the patches on their hardware.
And the vendors do care. They care about what makes money, not spends it. People buying new phones makes it. Testing google patches and managing the upgrades does not. This is the free market.
I have been a fan of google. Not as rabid as many of the apple fanboys, but still a fan. Some of these make sense, bundled cloud storage for photos, support for the device (with that price tag you better).
However, base features like Assistant piss me off. I like vanilla android with a common stock set of features. Making elite features is more of an Apple like move.
Doing it for what will amount to such a small fraction of Alphabets bottom line borders on ridiculous. I am very seriously torn between lust for the new device and disgust. Considering moving elsewhere, but where? Samsung I despise, as well as apple. HTC and LG are just okay, but falling off the update treadmill leaves me highly concerned.
A slashvertisment for a 'security' app that ostensibly tests for a vulnerability, whilst simultaneously asking for every permission my phone has. No thanks. And have a mode finger while you're here.
True enough. I still have a Moto Nexus 6, and it is fair but very slow. Not a major photographer here though, all I need the phone for is snapshots. I do some product photography for my web sales, and I use an alder DSLR for that if I need macro.
And apple phones are made by Foxconn. If by rejiggered HTC 10 you mean similar case with different cpu, different screen size, different screen technology, different camera, different camera software, etc, then you may as well say the LG G5 is a rejiggered Note 7
The video showed stabilization. They said the software sampled the gyros and the position of the rolling shutter to compensate for movement. They showed video with two cameras mounted side by side with stabilization off and on. It seemed very effective.
One could ask how often this media is used. I recently went through my grandmother's effects and found similar. I have boxes of photo albums, old letters from my deployed in Korea grandfather, etc. I am digitizing it as I can, but no one has looked at it in years, and aside from a glance I doubt I ever will.
So, is this really necessary information? Do we need to know that awimalich the Assyrian took an orange crap and sold 20 loaves of bread? Do we need to preserve my Grandparent's love letters? Not really except as a picture of day to day life.
More important is advanced sciences and manufacturing techniques.
Abu Sin knew what he was doing. Sometimes incarceration is a risk you take to try and make a cultural change or statement.
Abu Sin was a young boy talking to a woman. To say he fully understood the ramifications of his actions is absurd. He almost certainly knew it was a social taboo, but to say he was trying to make cultural change is really stretching. We do not know his intentions, but Occam says hormonal teenager trumps activist any day.
That said, this probably happens quite a bit with teenagers, just not out in the open. Then, afterwards, after the physical and mental scarring endured, these young men learn hate. And that hate is not towards his oppressors, the regime and religion that beat him down. Instead it is twisted at women or those who do as they did, that they should suffer the same punishments. This is how these types of systems stay in place and prosper.
Hate to play devils advocate here as I hate the current state of IP. However in your analogy, CloudFlare is not providing electricity or clearing snow. They are the company providing you with more cows and the equipment to milk them. They are, for better or worse, more materially related to your illegal business.
Now, should unpasteurized milk (copied media) be legal or less restricted? Probably so.

mdsolar, we do not care about your anti-nuke rhetoric here. PLease take your click bait elsewhere. Thanks.
Well, the primary choices are Orange Hitler and Grandma Nixon.. it sucks.

Silence is golden. Gold is a form of currency with value and a wholly different set of laws.

It's the new math.
No we don't have family in copper mines. But we can spot telco shills from far away.

Yes it supports Fi.

He knows that. It's just a typically passive aggressive way of bitching.

Just make sure that the encryption keys for such a system are stored in a 'safe' key escrow system. Then we know it's safe from hackers. /Sarcasm

Have you read Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy? If not you should.
It is easier to ask/pay for forgiveness than permission.
Had to make an ER trip for a kidney stone recently. Payment terminals were still Windows XP.
