I'm well aware that this isn't nearly as much of an issue for Apple devices - that's why I very clearly specified Android in my previous comment. Yes AOSP is open source but that doesn't help as much as one might hope fo

I don't think it's safe to assume that Pegasus can't manage persistence. This isn't run-of-the-mill malware we're talking about.

Between uBlock Origin and uMatrix I hadn't even realized. Prior to seeing these comments I had actually been impressed by the site's (apparent) responsiveness combined with the (apparently) clean and mostly pain text layout. Whoop

> The answer is obvious. Is it? I'm not overly familiar with any security exploits, but my understanding is that (at least for Android) the phone OS is often woefully out of date simply because the vendor stopped supplying updates.

PKI signatures aren't (legally) necessary, just a binding statement that what they are presenting to you is a certain version of the contract and hasn't been modified. Lying and modifying it would then be a serious misrepresentati

That's completely unrelated to what I wrote. I was suggesting that opiates themselves aren't the problem and that we shouldn't persecute their use. (Also Purdue wasn't prescribing anything. They're a drug manufactur

Slightly tangential - the safety of fentanyl isn't significantly different from any other opiate. The issue isn't the chemical itself but rather the huge difference in dosage combined with the unreliable nature of the black market

To be fair, that could easily be implemented in a personal manner with manual tagging. There's no need for giant centralized databases or violations of privacy to achieve your usecase.

I think there are an awful lot of misconceptions about "highly addictive" substances. Yes, they're addictive. That doesn't magically ruin peoples lives though. For a really obvious example, consider alcohol. For a slight

What does dynamic typing have to do with the language used for CTFE? (Have I misunderstood you?) D has fairly permissive CTFE which uses the language itself; it remains statically typed. Haskell is statically typed while the type system can

Certainly we lack (to the best of my knowledge) a rigorous model or definition for terms such as "conscious" and "qualia". That doesn't tell us anything about whether introspection or consciousness is necessary or n

Dinosaurs existed in the Triassic ~250 Mya. Following multiple extinction events primates showed up something like ~80 Mya. Australopithecus only dates to something like 3 Mya, Homo habilis to only ~2 Mya, and humans to a mere ~0.3 Mya. 250
