Seems it first takes you to a webpage where you provide your mobile number. You get a OTP (a pin, say 8 digits, One Time Passcode) on your mobile which you enter to continue; So basically they can track you by your mobile#.
that's the risk of having attachment to the scene; however deeply fulfilling loving partner it may be, the object can be taken-away/snatched-away. Hence focusing more on the seer, you can stay atleast calm rather than lost/depressed. And as they say you hv to love; not love something/somebody [ie love undirected].
. I have no goals, no motives, and that's just no life to live. I wake up feeling sad, like another day of nothing.
Another life begins when there is no goal; no motive. Take up spirituality and you can be at ease even staring at a a wall for 24 hours and be in bliss. The real magic will be the universe will find surprising ways to entertain you when your hands are totally empty; you won't know how each day is going by.
People work because of fear of being a nobody. When you work, you think society/company needs you. You convince yourself you are making a difference and your existence matters. The hard truth is nobody gives a f if you are there or not; the world keeps chugging along.
The day you are comfortable with being a nobody; you don't have to work [independent of your bank balance]. You can live like the bees/birds/butterfly without doing 'work'
>> 1. What are those skills?
How about prostitution?
The point is the n members of the group are on a ladder; ranked based on net-worth/money/power. A human with more power will buy the service of one who is lower in the ladder. This keeps going for a lower position person to someone still lower down. Even when someone has nothing to offer, the person higher in the ladder will provide under names like charity, feel-good, etc. So total collapse of society cannot happen -- the only way that can happen is when you block science and technology and spread superstitions (like the dark-ages in Europe) [leading to a shortage of essentials like food/water/medicine]
It's not from nothing.. image captures nature; nature runs under physics; n physics under mathematical laws. So it is reasonable to guess what a missing pixel-block will be based on other sets of observations of similar situations.
All my statements is for personal - a single individual - liberation. You already stated how the majority/group thru' herd mentality will push you towards the wrong sources. So there is no way you can do a group-dance here; it's a solo performance. Yes, you may need to live by yourself -- who knows off the grid may be -- I never said the path is easy or you can take along your friends/group/society with it.
The game itself is to make one individual compete against the society; so it is kind of illogical to expect to take your opponent (society) with you to the finishing line.
To state the obvious if it's not clear -- you must be a non-conformist/rebel -- there is no way you take a majority with you. In fact the odds of one making it out of the woods is 1 in a million if not a billion.
As someone said "No problem is too big, that you can't walk away from it". A smart person can stand alone when there is a barrage of mis-information hitting him/her all around. It takes intelligence and awareness. Feeding mind is nothing different from feeding body; you can choose to drink soft-drink or plain-water; you can cook n eat healthy veges or eat at mc'ds. If a society bans all home cooking and buying of veges, then we have a serious problem; because the one who chose to see the light can't do anything because the system has denied him/her the opportunity.
about your statement on influencing everyone. it's not everyone.. only those who are not intelligent/aware enough. If someone tells me I need to eat in mc'ds or pay a mortgage for life, I know what is really needed. The point is each individual chooses how much they are going to work on seeing the Truth. It doesn't come easily.
the toddler example is not true for adults; as adults you have a choice to break free from the programming (mind programming by the group/society). The system will make it tough; not doubt about it. But if you follow your inner voice and search for Truth; you should be able to find it.
sure, power will be able to own/control lot of the media [similar to pre internet n smartphones]; now for a person to reach for Truth, he can go to reliable sources. Of course vast majority may still go to sources that are spreading lies. That's their choice. Even today lot of people choose to remain stupid/ choose to suffer/ choose to close their eyes -- the point is they like to believe in one kind of reality -- again we can't say that is wrong. The growth of free/easy flow of information is not to wake up someone acting like sleeping; but to truly wake up someone who desires to be woken up.
Like any other technology, you cannot make people reach for Truth if their liking is to believe in lies. You can take a horse to the river; but you can't make it drink.
As I see it, technology only helps those who already want to be helped. Not all and may be it's in the nature of the human species that vast majority wants to believe in the non-Truth. A liking for hate/violence/suffering/misery.
True, both sources of information is there. As long as we have free flow of information, the good will win. good means whatever really happened; ie false/rumors will die out. Of course in the age of digital morphing/video edits, you can create any picture or video and spread a rumor. People will become kinda numb to those sensational news and the end result is more calm and peace; you can't easily provoke a group to act in a violent way.
Surely this is better than say 100 years ago, where a rumor can lead to a village/country going on a war on the neighbor.
Supercomputers in our pockets do absolutely none of that. They merely give us information, most of which we don't actually use once we acquire it, and they provide entertainment in the most anti-social manner possible, and they push us to spend more time working for less wealth.
Try again.
Free flow of information will calm people. It does not trigger panic riots. The list you have given solves physical work; smartphones solve information flow/ ease of access. Humans don't run around causing problem when they know the real picture. Lot of human chaos/suffering that happened in history is because of rumors and lack of information flow -- truth couldn't reach them in time [say a food shortage or group violence] and people react out of fear.
Seems developers don't consider to optimize disk I/O. Recently I saw a live event streamed using firefox (from a not so great website, i guess it uses flash) and it kept my disk 100% all the time. Why should a streaming service write all those video data into disk, can't it just cache in RAM n display n forget the bits?
Such unnecessary disk i/o wears my disk down, increases power use (if I'm on say battery on my laptop) and of course creates a kind of internal DoS as it hogs the disk i/o and rest of processes can't get disk i/o or get delayed -- resulting in a sluggish OS response even to say some file explorers. ie a well behaved app/software should not hog any shared piece of hardware/resource (like disk-io) leading to system instability.
Apps should be benchmarked not only on their memory foot print or CPU usage (like algorithm/big(Oh) s) but also on their external data traffic usage like disk/network i/o.
I regularly watch my disk i/o usage by processes and get rid of any if I suspect they are hitting it unnecessarily hard.
People will work for as long as they can to compete with their peers
And the reason could be as irrational as who can count the number of grains in 1kg of beach sand the fastest. It's just that the n people in the group, agree (made to believe) that this is the definition of success [of course replace sand with homes/cars/opposite-sex members] and use a method to arrange the n folks in a ladder. The game is who is going up in the ladder and who is going down. Humans instinctively want to do power-play and want to feel I'm higher than you in the ladder.. when the whole definition of ranking in ladder is without base. No wonder we see everyone running around aimlessly.
yeah, but AAPL has already amazed zillions and sitting on zillions in cash. Who said their (investors) objective is to create a product that stays top forever. it's all about money. And evolution? what is that when your objective is to amass wealth quicker.
And to give credit to AAPL / jobs why not those open-source guys come up with some thing as cool as iphone when it got launched? android did copy cat of ios; know the only way to win is go open-source; while andriod is truly great humanity and all.. AAPL's objective was not to help humanity, but to bring in large profits to it's investors..and in that job it did spectacular.
If you have spent time with your wife, you will say, I lost all time I could've spent on Usenet when I had access to it. The point is we do what we enjoy. And 'coz most of us are stupid, complain later about the path not taken. Doesn't matter which path it is. The bottom line, no matter what the path we walk, we always complain about being sad and unfulfilled.
For that 05%, I think it would be good to use the best of both worlds. That is the software will produce the written text while allowing you to edit manually using keyboard. You may mark some words using a command-word like 'fix-it'; Example: 'The thickness needs to be reduced'.. let the s/w produced 'The sickness needs to be reduced'.. you are visually seeing it...then you say 'fix-it thickness' . so it will highlight the word sickness which you can come back later and manually change to thickness. [the software may also record your audio clip so when you come back it can hint you on what you said before]
except delivery of 'physical goods'.. rest can be done all electronic; please rally to change those century customs that require paper -- it does not bring any additional so called 'security'. calendar says it's 2016.
In fact USPS does junk mail delivery just helping the big guys (1%).
While sending 80 peeps to Mars is cool, what are they going to do while they are there?
They can play martian-G video games; just like as said in the summary zero-G video games while waiting for refuel. Ridding ourselves of fossil fuels is one thing.. colonizing mars? please... if you want to save life on earth.. build some meteor dodging apparatus so we can avoid dinosaur's fate. Mars expansion can surely wait
Centralizing carbon emission is a good idea because it can then be captured.
It also aids in economies of scale. As Elon mentioned in an interview, even if the source of electricity is coal/fossil-fuel based power-plant, it's still efficient to drive an electric car than a gas powered one.
sorry then why do u say something is going to be "so very satisfying?" I assume so-very means it falls in the top say 5 desires of a person. I like many things in life..but I wont' call them 'so very satisfying'..in that case I will start throwing away stuff which is less important and focus on my top few..in fact life taught me I can't even have D2 if I wanted D1
it's all about desire ordering..D1, D2, D3.. you can always break-away from foo if your desire for bar is higher.. if you can giveup D3 for D2 and D2 for D1; you can realize any D1. [no one forced anyone to hv a mortgage or even kids..or raise them in expensive places/life-style.. or made one sit in a cubicle to pickup pay-check].. when a person lacks courage or passion for D1, he/she starts blaming the environment or say too much cynisim around.
I don't want to use Siri or Echo, because of this spying which is so far inherent to AI, and because Amazon and Google exist mainly to sell us stuff, to exploit us and get us to buy more of something.
Did anyone ever put a gun on your head and made you buy/say/act against your wish? you get exploited when you are dumb; as simple as that. Increase your awareness.. don't blame/whine your opponent for being too strong.
