My guess is its that smart phones are more valuable than the raw materials, or more valuable than a tv, a land line phone, and a hand radio are individually. So not that there are more, that they are more valuable objects.

San Fransisco has a lot of land zoned single family.

You could easily rezone and up the density by a factor of 4 or 5.

Shadowsocks for iOS
Notice: This version is deprecated. Please wait for iOS 9's new VPN API
Features
Shadowsocks is a cross-platform tunnel proxy which can help you get through firewalls.
This iOS version is for non-jailbroken devices. It has two features.
A web browser with all the traffic going through a Shadowsocks proxy A background global proxy, with some restrictions Install
Available on the App Store
Please visit the App Store.
As a web browser
Shadowsocks works as a multi-tab web browser. It's really easy to use.
Tap the + button to open menu. Tap Settings to configure Shadowsocks proxy settings. Tap New Tab to open a new Tab. Tap URL field on the top to input URL. Swipe a tab to scroll the tabs. Hold and press a tab to swap tabs. If you've changed Proxy Mode, a restart is needed to take effect. (Kill the app, then open the app again). As a global proxy
Shadowsocks works as a background global PAC proxy, with some restrictions.
Only works with Wi-Fi network. But we are working on the cellular network. Only works for a few minutes. Due to iOS restrictions, Shadowsocks can't keep running in the background. It's killed after you leave it for a while. To keep it running for an extended period of time, you have to come back to the Shadowsocks app every few minutes. So it's a little tricky to use global proxy.
Set up proxy settings in shadowsocks. Copy this link http://127.0.0.1:8090/proxy.pac Open iOS Settings -> Wi-Fi -> i icon on the right of your connected Wi-Fi -> HTTP Proxy. Choose Auto, paste the link in the URL field. Tap back. Other apps now go through the proxy. If they don't, kill and restart them. Come back every few minutes to keep Shadowsocks running in the background.

Exactly that. The argument you get against this is that you could say sell your vote and verify to a 3rd party you voted as asked. But frankly I think that is not nearly as bad as hidden vote tampering. Not even close.

I don't think there is anyway the technology doesn't get used. The only option is going to be transparency and openness in the data collected so it becomes harder to hide abuse. Privacy will be what dies.

It also doesn't imply it works or cant be gamed.

I think the PR impact of a death in a Uber ride in India with in markets outside of India is going to be low.

That's still a lot of time in a car driving around.

Im going to go with the in 50 years if you cant code on some level you will be seen as mildly illiterate. Coding will be core to nearly all jobs. There will still be people writing software as software engineers, but around the edges it will be specialists in a discipline writing code to extend the core software to do what they need.
Really, its just taking how many people use excel and growing that up. With technical improvements like simpler to code languages, more predictable API expectations (that is they all tend to work the same as a convention), and general maturity of software as a idea (its not old by any standard). Along with social expectations of what you need to be able to do. Today its use excel, a generation or 2 it will be basic coding.

Exactly that, as long as you have those who have access and those that don't you have something to be exploited. There you move towards a great divided in power, towards total lack of privacy or you don't gather the data. I think the later is actually the least likely. There are a lot of really powerful things you can do with good data, that seems worthwhile. The issue is then exploitation of that knowledge. For sure advantage will be had by someone, question is extent of imbalance and lack of privacy.

Drones. Thats why this doesn't matter.
If everyone gets some linear growth to their income, those at the bottom get the most %. So the pie shifts down. If its about leveraging existing capital, then more capital means more for you and the pie shifts up.
