Seems the admin interface is publicly accessible, which I assume is intentional for demonstration. This can only end badly.

They cannot change the ToS to sell all of your personal information as their ToS specifically states they do not store or archive that information. Passing it to the government is another matter...

And it seems that they very rarely collect those fees, if at all. I've certainly had my android install over one year, and no request for payment. See plenty of other similar reports online. Suspect getting users to pay $1 is going to

Why would any privacy advocate want to block this deal? I can only see this deal being beneficial for privacy in the long run. Facebook are unable to collect data from the service without changing the ToS, which will likely cause a user exo

by kevcampb 13y ago
Why not read the ToS? It's pretty clear and very user friendly. The short version - they don't store your data, and there is no right for Facebook to get that data historically. That's not to say they can't change it in

Can we clarify the exchange on this please, to avoid the linkbait, esp given the just posted newsweek article.

Seeing this article, I can't help having horrible feelings of reading the following. http://www.nytimes.com/1981/07/03/us/rare-cancer-seen-in-41-... Chilling, in context. Lets hope it's nothing

Similar situation to why you still get spacecraft using chips from the 90s. They need chips which will remain reliable for a significant lifespan, in hostile environments. Way beyond what you're going to expect for a phone or PC. Quite

I'm not sure that full-isolation is an alternative, they're somewhat orthogonal solutions. It's perfectly normal to use pip and virtualenv inside a virtual container, so that the base operating system is a known environment.

Why I love virtualenv and pip. We use virtualenv and pip extensively here, with virtualenvwrapper. mkvirtualenv <project> workon <project> pip install -r requirements.txt It just works. I don't spend any time on

I wonder how this will end up playing with the fact that exchanging CNY is heavily restricted. Exchange services all require proof of identity to allow you to trade, and there's quite a few limits on exchange. Some details here: http:

can someone explain why they are accumulating so much extra water? surely they can just reuse the already contaminated water in the tanks? obviously there's good reason, just curious why.
