New technology comes at a price. The have spent billions on R&D and this is a way to get some of the investment monetized. It is likely to be a niche product to test the technology and the market. Most likely in a couple of years we will have foldable screen phones that go for less than $1000

That excuse works for Samsung. Huawei stole the tech.

Was the Samsung display manufactured in China? If so, what did they expect?

I don't really go for the R&D argument. Look at iPhones, they have only gotten more expensive. They should be cheap by now using your logic. Hell, they are removing things more than adding...

Apple invests a lot into security and performance R&D.

What’s been removed?

Universal Analog Extension Interface. AKA. the Headphone Jack.

>Most likely in a couple of years we will have foldable screen phones that go for less than $1000

Considering how all the major manufacturers are pushing hard to get flagships over $1000, I don't see how this is possible

I am having trouble understanding what the site is for

That may be related to it shutting down.

The site is/was a public GNU Social installation:

https://loadaverage.org/main/all <- it's like twitter, but built e-mail style with a bunch of federated servers.

Neither steel nor concrete burn under ordinary circumstances. Wood does. We do not know what exactly happened in New York, and it does not seem relevant here.

What does your startup do? Maybe someone here could be interested in funding it.

Not quite, Apple was rumored to be buying Tesla, which would have made sense considering thier cash reserves, however the deal never happened.

Apple rumors are not a typical example. There's a whole industry of idiots "analysts" who do nothing but release click-bait speculation about Apple.

Indication, but not guarantee. The point I was really trying to make, is that rumors typically don't leak at the very early stage, when there are limited people involved. The point at which rumors do start occurring, is at the very final, final stages - and so it's not surprising that a deal is closed soon after the rumors start leaking.

This changes everything. Good job

How? jq is already very usable.

While the US is likely the largest market, there are plenty of opportunities elsewhere. Ignoring those might be part of your strategy, however if you are willing to take look at what Europe or Asia have to offer you might be facing something quite unexpected as there are tech start-ups everywhere.

I live in Finland and there is an emerging start-up scene here already. Also there are plenty of older, steady-going companies, that have proven business models, who have start-up mindsets towards new things.

If your plan is to create a thriving project that aims to address a specific business problem, you are going to need a group (even small) of likely minded people. There should not be any "work for food"-ethics attached. No body will work for you for food, but many people are willing to work to create something they believe in.

Why exactly do you want to be in the US? I've lived in Moscow and St. Petersburg for quite some time. It is hard to imagine, that you won't find anyone in those cities with summed population of almost 20 million, who is willing to work with you on your or their ideas.

Moving to Moscow is not an option if you are going to spend time writing code and talking to customers, not go for hours in a subway

This looks absolutely stunning. I wish I could train the brain by myself and see how it operates in as an artificial neural network. Anyway, great job!
