I guess it would be interesting to see how those numbers interacted graphically. Are the "bad" areas (ie high muscle mass at reasonable fat percentage) associated with health problems according to experts? Or should people with si

It would be nice if I didn't have to allow third party scripts (from bootstrapcdn and googleapis in this case) in order to view the dashboard. Is there some technical reason the health page can't be entirely first party? (This com

I have a (likely silly) question for anyone well versed in low level CPU stuff. §20.7 says there's a stack engine that optimizes manipulation of the stack pointer. Does this only apply to the dedicated hardware register (ie %rsp) or to

Among other things, terminal based programs support flexible remote workflows via ssh and tmux. Edit: It's slightly off topic, but it might be easier to understand the draw of terminal based interactions in the context of a larger tool

Unless things have changed in the past couple of years it's not just a single security warning the first time you side load an app. On my device, F-Droid can't seem to update apps itself - rather I get a security warning dialog fo

You seem to be ignoring the monopoly aspect. The argument is that when a vendor controls a large enough portion of the market, consumers might not be left with sufficient choice for market forces to prevent abusive behaviors. This idea has

I'm not aware of any such devices? I believe you have that backwards - many (most?) devices support HDCP, a form of DRM (and thus legally protected against reverse engineering by the DMCA). This is supposedly to prevent you from pirati

Ditto for Linux and Android. I'm sure I could find a sketchy closed source kernel module somewhere out there that's actually malware. That's not a problem in practice though because I'd have to leave the confines of the

In your scenario, there's malware in a non-apple app store. So what? It rightfully gets a bad reputation, people presumably avoid it, etc. Those who are more risk averse choose only to use the Apple app store. I'm not seeing the i

The difference being that (in all cases I'm aware of) you get some sort of representation in the HOA (ie voting on things). Also there are almost certainly limits in any given jurisdiction on the sort of rules an HOA can impose.

That article isn't particularly relevant to what I said. The issues it describes only affect keyservers that behave in a specific manner. I'd also argue that a keyserver behaving that way in the first place is fundamentally flawed

I don't think this sort of security trumps everything else approach is a valid line of argument. Surely there are tradeoffs to be made, and surely one size doesn't fit all. As to phishing in particular, I don't agree that the

If it's a free download it still might not fly. I suspect they would have to charge a reasonable fee for providing the specific functionality in order for that approach to work (otherwise the only "sale" was that of the origi
