The problem with this approach is your basically teaching this as a side effect and hoping they're smart enough to actually connect all of that together vs. teaching those concepts directly and being far more understandable. If you wan

Well for #1 & #2, they don't need your phone for that, just subpoenas to the relevant companies. And most people are not international globe trotters where the extra stuff outside of the country would be of much use. #3 is the rea

I do half of that crap on personal calls too. Interestingly enough, I don't get those issues on phone calls! Or most audio only calls over the internet. The underlying issue is the technical failures of video calling, not the social

Make $100-$200k/yr from your equity compensation, have that same equity comp go up 2x (amazon) and you get 800k-1.6m for 4 years of work pre-tax. Add a few more years on top of that.

Cells are getting so cheap that almost all adults in the world have one. Something around the number of 5 billion, and 4 billion of those are smartphones. Fairly soon everyone will have a smartphone and you can get service for one hour of

France is ahead in fashion and few other art forms. America is ahead in popular art because LA is the silicon valley of culture and has the population of Europe. After a certain point it's a language and population thing, and France h

You also get EM radiation from the electric wiring in your house, lightbulbs, the sun and so on. It's also about the strength of that EM radiation that determines is if it's harmful. To compare, your wifi router does a max of 400

I actually like the design of the homepod, it's quite clever. The apple watch being held together by glue vs interlocking plate or screws although is something I don't like. It makes the water resistance fail when you are in a ho

I see you haven't actually tried to do VATMOSS or GDPR compliance. It might be easy to register a corp, but you're walking into a liability minefield unless you do it right, which will be a few staff worth of people, or hope you

We can apply the same argument to governments with their lack of censorship of bad words as people walk the streets. We don't because it's ridiculous on it's face, and we don't want a blatant surveillance society such a
