This reminds me of junior (and sometimes not so junior) developers not protecting against the full range of possibilities in conditions, and how hard it's for some to understand that there's glitches that make the counter go +2 instead of +1 before arriving at the condition check.

So... You're trusting it with all your filesystem but not your email?

I get baffled at how such basic security mistakes are made. Either who did them doesn't care or doesn't know, of which neither is good for - at least - applications that store such sensitive information.

I'll probably be downvoted but I think it's in bad taste to use this kind of (bad) news as another way to market your product. I'll surely won't be buying your product nor recommending it. /rant

What you've said about making economics drive reforestation is true, but that's like saying that to end hunger you just have to give people food.

So you suggest planting trees that take 40 years to grow when the people doing the deflorestation are doing it because of profits that they'd never get via that method. (Economics)

It's the same with the plague that is eucalyptus, you know what drove its plantation and override of all other natural trees and plants in many places of the world? Economics! So you see that just economics might not be a very good way to solve the problem at hand.

So what do you propose to make the economics work? Highly tax meat? Or other products that are indirectly causing deflorestation?

Oh! Thanks!

You'd prefer that any website had full access to the Bluetooth stack and could see all your nearby devices?!

Why is it click-bait? It just says that support for the Bluetooth API was added. Why would anyone extract from that that there were no safeguards in place against abuse?!

Marketing and ads companies?!

Just today I came across this tweet that describes that exact issue https://twitter.com/jessethanley/status/813904788702183425

Now while I do believe that some tools are better for some jobs than others, I also think that many times people are just exchanging one set of problems by another without realizing it.

I'm don't know why you were downvoted, background refresh has nothing to do with the location setting.

In regard to the compass aspect, why would the compass work mostly everywhere? Indoor is not a problem for the earth magnetic field, nor is a airplane.. The GPS not working everywhere (specially indoors) makes sense: it can't receive the satellites signals. But a compass is made with a magnetometer which works indoors and in airplanes, etc. Only problems will be in the poles and near objects producing strong magnetic fields..

What would be the reason for such (seemingly bad) decision?

I believe that many people don't use stored procedures/functions because of lack of knowledge/know-how, difficulty or needing something done yesterday (which in itself is related to the previously), unfortunately.

I say this because I've seen it happen multiple times.

I gave AppCode a small spin recently. It worked pretty well — as I've come to expect from JetBrains. It builds and launches apps directly into your device or simulator (presumably using the command line tools of Xcode). There is, however, no integrated Interface Builder, when you want to edit a XIB or Storyboard, it launches Xcode and you do the editing there.

Other than that XIB/Storyboard quirk it seems pretty solid.

EDIT: For me it wasn't worth it. There's something about Java applications that throws me off. I'm not sure if it's the difference interface or the small lag in input or both. (I do use PyCharm since there is no viable alternative in macOS)

I'd prefer no one was able to buy the beaches.

Yes you can, at least you could 1 or 2 releases ago. I wrote one module and it worked perfectly.

Edit: grammar

Nissan Primera 1.6 from 2000. But I really, really, prefer driving my motorcycle.

In the mini-PC case I can see it as a positive thing, where you can hide the power supply somewhere and just have the smallish PC box visible. So, to me, the mini PC box makes sense even if it comes with a large power supply.

In the case of the DAC I'm not sure if the end-user will really have any benefit.

I was under the impression that the kernel extension was a separate product, it's being included in the standalone Dropbox application? You do have a point about giving it administrator privileges, the post however shows very clearly that they are abusing your trust which is enough for people to think twice before using their application..

You're assuming everyone trusts Dropbox with all their files and that everyone installs their kernel extension, which is a wrong assumption.

From what I know (which is not much) scanners, among other things, search for identifying patterns in files. So there is an identifying pattern of each discovered malware/virus in a database.

IMO it really depends on the cybercrime. Maybe in this instance 2-3 years should be sufficient. I can, however, imagine scenarios where much longer sentences should be applied. If a cybercrime results in human casualties, for (a more extreme) example.

I felt like the parent comment didn't meant 50% exactly, just an approximation. So, if it were me, I'd just keep that in mind when deciding to go out to eat.. After 1 or 2 months it's easy to see if I'm on track to the ~50% or not and adjust accordingly.

I doubt it, the specification is still being finalized. Only after that will the chipmakers begin their process.

Yes, you should and the choice exists, like the root comment mentioned. There are other services which allow you to communicate with people without having to associate your phone number with the service.

I like your analogy and I think it's got its merit. A good plumber might be able to solve a problem faster than an average one, though.

> "If true, this observation would be the first-ever indirect detection of dark matter in our universe."

I thought that in all dark matter observations to date, no direct detection has ever been made. Can someone enlighten me?

Turning a non powered steer and turning a non working powered steer are two _very_ different things. When the power steer fails, it gets really heavy.

They actually aren't, although most, if not all, operators use the same.
