I completely agree with you. But at the same time, there's the Android/AOSP situation.

You have a point regarding things that should be simple, not being simple. I'll agree that can be a problem. What I don't agree with is the idea that you have to use all the advanced features. Your last line hits on the idea that

I'm not sure, but I can tell you how I'd find out. I'd clone the repo to a different directory and try it out in that test environment. Then delete the it when I'm done. #gitFTW

I'm genuinely curious about what they mean by 'gender queer': OPW stands for Outreach Program for Woman, which makes me suspect they're including that phrase to try to prevent drawing any lines re 'what is a woman&#

May I ask which ISP you work for? Knowing that you consider tampering with nonmalicious subscriber traffic to be crossing a line is something I would pay a premium for.

I can't help but wonder about their attire. consider for a moment your reaction to a person in a suite and tie who asked to borrow your phone. I posit that you would be more likely to agree and hand over your phone if the person is in

That's an interesting sentiment, because most of the software in the Ubuntu, Debian, and other repositories is largely free yet we don't see this crapware there. I think the problem is that these applications get to decide what ge

This isn't a better-benchmarks problem because the problem isn't that they're optimizing specific instructions that only the benchmarks use, instead they're looking at the name of the application and cranking up the spee

This is what I was thinking. This sounds more like certificates are broken than public key crypto. Yes they can come to me for my private key, but that's a different issue, then at least they're coming to me and not going to some

I think it's interesting that you find the author's use of profanity to be strong and forceful. I found it to be comical and colorful, and extremely relatable. They (companies) may have reasons, but their motivations are not parallel with m

I thought I saw a Kickstarter page for this a month or two ago but I can't find it now. I assume that it making the front page means they met their funding goal? When I first saw the Kickstarter page they didn't seem very close, but good fo

I agree, it's an interesting and appealing idea. I think one of the biggest obstacles to that at the moment, at least in the US, is the arguably earned reputation that some unions have as being profiteering thugs, if not outright extentions

Honestly I find it easier to go to Google.com and search for whatever your looking for appended with "android app". I'm surprised there's such a large difference in the quality of search between Google Play search and Google Search.

I think you misunderstood what was meant by 'Apple applies it's rules equally'. I read it to mean it was on a per submission basis not on a per submitter basis. Not that I readily agree given the anecdote just presented.

While I wholeheartedly agree that the current system is awful and needs improvement, and I do think this would be an improvement, I also think one of the problems with having a trial by qualified juries as you suggested is hindsight bias.

Rarher, I think they were saying that it would be prudent to be skeptical and cautious of anyone attempting to impose draconian laws or practices under the thinly veiled guise of "the british are coming" -- er sorry, "the baddies are coming

Citation? Or is this a hunch? I'd love it if that were true, sounds like an excellent rebuttal to the usual 'android gets spam' retort. As I understand it most of the time the problem is the user themselves, the app requested some permissio
