Maybe with this some anonymous person could show up a bit more of US dirty laundry without going to a martial court or being suicidal in practical terms. It should not be needed, but unfortunately is.
The key could go around user interfase personalization. Or different flavors of the same interface, but targetted for different input devices. Like KDE Plasma Active vs KDE.
In any case, there is always (will be?) the option to use another user interface.
Without taking into account all factors, you can't decide if this change in sea level or climate will be good or bad. Will be change. That kind of change could mean that some animals or plants will have better odds of survival, other could have worse. Mankind could adapt to the temperature/sea level change (maybe at a bigger cost that it would cost to prevent it, or maybe not), but some other parts of the environment won't. And we could depend directly or indirectly on them, and it could hit us far harder because dealing with the other changes.
Somewhat worries me that that considered cost on all of this is always economic. If i.e. rice or wheat gets globally affected (because a disease carried by a bug that had a bloom because the change, to put a very simple chain in) millons could starve to death. Mankind could adapt, but the cost should take lives into account.
Right now internet is used as an attack vector. Both for incentivating/supporting revolutions or vehicle for stuxnet and other cyberweapons. Is bad that other countries control, but currently that is being very abused by the country that already controls it.
They don't want this... because they have it already, and are taking a big advantage of it. Most of the internet information passes already thru them, and they freely inspects everything that goes thru. Maybe there are some legal protection against abuses for US citizens (diminishing each day) but never were for foreigners.
I would prefer a way to control that isnt control, for anyone, specially including the major offender today: US.
There aren't millons of apps competing with yours neither. If there aren't many available choices and you are popular elsewhere, you should think that would be more buyers than your mom and 3 close friends. Heck, probably they could had better far sales in the Ubuntu Market.
A good part is not about freedom, but ownership. Is your data or you are giving it to someone that just want your money to give it back to you (or someone else) how he likes, when he likes, and if he likes? You are not giving away just freedom, also what you own, and what you are, without even realizing it.
You will die anyway, sooner or later, so, why not doing it where no man has gone before, having an experience that noone else ever had in their lifetimes? Is not like most don't risk their lives (and actually die) for less glorious things, from climbing the Everest to crossing the street.
Considering that somewhat the people that is in the government was directly or indirectly voted by US citizens, including those two, i would say outside US to start with. By default I don't attribute to malice that they got up there.
So natural selection will help even more. Will take out the idiots that refuse vaccination, and the non intelligent enough people that live near to them.
What if the government that places the order is the oppresive one of the US? Had done commercial embargos for just not liking a foreing country government, escalating to internet embargo is not something that will happen, unless is more effective to keep the connection up and promote/coordinate/finance local rebel groups using it.
And is not just for cutting off access. Spying, intercepting or censoring in a way or another traffic is a risk on a country with few internet connections, unless we are talking about US, as they can spy the traffic of most countries.
So, the "resistant" color of the chart effectively means "resistant except to US government actions". And by the way actions are escalating lately, that map should be pitch black.
You mean, like History? A lot of it is basically fairy tales after all, you know, is written by the victors. And with it you should put a lot of popular culture "facts", like Newton's apple or Franklin's kite. Or, as we are talking about schools, what about Santa or other childrens myths? Should be denied as policy in the schools?
Our culture is based in small lies like this ones to believe in big ones like justice, duty, mercy (Hogfather was a pretty good read), or that life have a meaning.
Of course, that you go to movies don't mean that you should think that everything there is the pure truth, a "fiction" somewhere should be clarified. There are tales (like there is an almighty god that created us all) that are nice, and teaches us a lot of helpful things for conviving with others. But as with Santa, people should understand how much fiction and how much of "loosely based on a true story" is there. And of course, people should know about science, including evolution and natural selection, is just how the world works, be about us or any other living thing.
There, you got the solution for the global warming problem. If everyone puts on their tinfoil hat, more heat will be reflected to space, and temperatures will get lower. Will be ironic to make global warming deniers to put on the tinfoil hat to actually make the global warming problem to dissapear.
The closest to a supervolcano eruption in recent years was Krakatoa in 1883, and we still have ice in poles.
A small push could be the difference between a person at the top of a cliff and a corpse at the bottom, and you will be a killer if you do it, even if the cause of death was mostly being up there.
Being flexible means that they could turn into i.e. bracelets, or other accesories. Probably it will change from a boxy thing that you must carry to a bunch of device parts that you will be wearing
Flexible mean a lot of things, like this old Nokia concepts. Flexibility could mean changing how you use it, and new ways to use it. An easy one could be folding it to have something manuable to use it as phone, but unfold it to use it like a tablet, but having shapes that enable to even wear them could change things.
What really would worry me is the user interface. As windows 8 clearly shows, an user interface not meant for the "natural" way you interact with a certain device (like putting a phone user interface in a desktop) is a bad idea . This will put to the test how much flexible are the user interfaces of whatever will be put in those phones.
Remembers me the Armaggedon movie. Should be "a bit" harder to take out the moon from its orbit than stopping a asteroid falling on Earth with nukes. Probably a lot of the big impacts on the moon in historical times were orders of magnitudes stronger than any nuke ever made here... and it still there.
And about making some light up there to showoff, maybe this could give an idea of the dimension of the project.
Considering that is representing people from a country that teaches to deny evolution and refuse vaccination, i would say that is coherent with that. Idiocracy should start somewhere after all.

Reminds me another country that supports revolutions and even invades foreing countries for "freedom of people" too.

Hanlon's razor applies too. We are not speaking about lawyers here, could be attributed to stupidity instead of malice.
Reelected the people that put it in place. That counts as choosing.

Is risky to predict something that you can affect if you know the result of that prediction. Specially if there are more players with the same tools.

Could be April 1st up there

I would add "Don't like to have too much options? What about having just one, but wrong?"
They do, even the definition of what is bloatware changes from windows to linux.
