I think you’d be surprised to learn that Indian mobile speeds are pretty fast, at 133 mbps median. Ranked 26th in the world ( https://www.speedtest.net/global-index#mobile ).

As parent says, would you rather have “undisciplined” obese people or undisciplined non-obese people? Because those are the realistic choices here.

(At least on iOS) shutting down the phone has something to do with wiping credentials/keys from RAM from where they can potentially be dumped. A just-booted phone is fully encrypted with no keys in memory.

Not sure about the nature of the generated code, but wouldn’t doing the equivalent of dynamic linking mitigate this problem?

Wikipedia says "In industry dimethyl sulfide is produced by treating hydrogen sulfide with excess methanol over an aluminium oxide catalyst”. Which part requires a living organism?

Is this a difficult problem to solve? There’s only a handful of major cloud players and these questions don’t seem terribly complicated. Or is it that it lets you answer arbitrary questions of this sort without having to figure out how to g
