"If you're using a wireless hotspot then your location is correlated to anyone who also used it while sharing GPS data." That's a clever one I hadn't thought about. I guess for a service like Facebook/Instagram

I believe if you give access to "Photos" on the device, they can. Otherwise by giving GPS/Location permission - no. They are two separate things.

If I say "no" on iOS when the FB app asks for location how are they exactly recoding my location? P.S. No idea about Android.

Those "unlock your phone at the border" stories have become so famous that anybody who's "up to no good" would be traveling with a decoy phone at this point.

See my other comments in the thread, the Forbes article quoting a few other cardiologists from other major universities. Google around about the company and their drug Vascepa. Many people are skeptical about it and IMHO they have a point.

No better than regular fish oil but costs hundreds of dollars a month. A way to scam money out of Medicare. Using mineral oil in the study to make their product look superior. I'm not the only one to share those concerns: https:/

Yes, I agree. Your book (Programming Clojure) is great at that and quite up-to-date I believe.

I used to think pretty much the same but now that I own one of Sony’s high end models I realize that’s quite naive. There’s no comparison in quality, photo noise or pretty much anything in terms of possible results between my Sony A99 II an

All those things can be done locally on the phone only and without any server-side data processing. Without investigating into Google/Android terms of use I can bet they are NOT done locally (I might be wrong, this is a guess). Ultimat

I'm quite surprised by your conclusion that Clojure "is not the best option" for Business Intelligence. What general purpose language is better for that in your opinion? There's a difference between "best tool for t

Yea, I literally have never had a problem with leiningen breaking. All people that I know that use Leiningen are also in general very happy with it. Curious what lein-specific problems you've ran into.

Do you have examples of useful, widely used Android apps that and are tailored to local markets (and do not have iOS equivalents)?

Dates and times are values by definition, not mutable objects that can be changed via methods. The year 2017 is 2017. It represent a moment in time, or more precisely a period of time between two points. The year 2017 does not “become” 2018
