Based on all of that, you shouldn't be doing business with the USA either.

Propaganda during a trade war with China.

I see the Chinese mobile market as a serious threat to US cellular markets & phone manufacturers, something USA (with lobbying & special interest money) & its trade war is likely trying to prevent with propaganda campaigns. I would like to see CA laugh this off.

Is there as much of a risk when buying a Chinese made Android One phone? Serious question if anyone knows.

Facebook is subverting American democracy by censoring news that's outside of the status quo. They're now censoring American media as well [1].

You can certainly use these neo-mccarthyist PR articles for beneficial purposes after a major security breach just happened. Facebook is the good guy again to the public.

Facebook makes this data easily accessible to literally anyone. Everyone is using it. Facebook is surely at fault for making it that public and easily accessible. It means anyone else could've, and everyone else isn't rainbows and gumdrops clean.

wiby.me is fun.

Measurements from those instruments would be from the aircraft itself as these are ADS-B transmissions from the aircraft.

So they've just participated in Facebook's exact business model, just never paid for the data. Anything really concerning here?

I fundamentally believe that outside of niche hobby & technical subreddits, Reddit is making society a worse place and allowing major non-organic manipulation of ideas through their API.

There is also this: http://wiki.project-pm.org/wiki/Persona_Management

And this: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/08/us/politics/rick-gates-ps...

I left reddit because with the API these disinformation campaigns are too easy to create. After watching from afar during the 2016 elections noticing weird new things happening, new patterns, I decided that I no longer knew what was real and left.

Seattle has GPS on most busses that integrates into apps like Transit. Transit is also crowdsourced if people leave it running when they're on the bus. Some bus stops also have screen timetables that update live information regarding arrival time.

I know I have to leave my condo when Transit says 3 minutes and it has the "this bus is reporting" logo.

Ebay, some are available on Amazon, or you can order from Aliexpress/Gearbest.

My only warning for buying Xiaomi phones is to make sure they work on your carrier in your country.

I am over impressed with the Mi A2 Lites camera for this price point. Phone has very impressive build quality too.

It only doesn't support Band 12 but band 2 and 4 are the important T-Mobile bands which it supports. No other bands are used heavily. ATT is very compatible. Using T-Mobile around Seattle with the phone and have absolutely no issues anywhere.

For $159 I'm not sure what more you could expect. Band 12 would be nice, but I understand they need to cut some corners.

With the surveillance state we have, fisa courts, along with two corrupt business parties, an almost fully corrupt government, a corrupt military, no doubt. Anyone using Google since it's early days could probably notice a change in 2015 into the 2016 elections, especially how they handle news and looking up news/events that happened in the past. It's not exactly a wild theory. Twitter openly admits to purposeful censorship of hashtags [1].

Make Orwell fiction again.

I use DDG and have been starting to fall back to Google less than usual. I think they may be optimizing their search better now? It's a prime time to steal some market share.

Please consider watching this excellent Glenn Greenwald & James Risen debate over the usage of the word 'treason' and how dangerous it is to use it incorrectly. Greenwald cites prime US legal examples throughout history.

I really don't mind small notches. My current phone has one about the same height as the notification bar. This Pixel 3 notch is absolutely hideous compared.

Nope. Airpods are admittedly a great product and very impressive, but the functionality and stability is going to be an Apple exclusive. They work on Android devices, but not nearly as seamlessly.

Snapdragon 845 with 4GB of RAM? This is essentially a Pixel 2 XL with a notch. 4GB of ram is going to be atrocious right out of the box, and good luck in a year or two.

I just bought a $159 Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite (Android One/Stock, US ATT or T-Mobile Compatible) to replace my original Pixel XL and I can't tell much of a difference except for the Camera. It has a much smaller notch than the Pixel 3 and will receive updates I believe until 2021 or further. Some small corners were cut, but it punches way above its price point.

It still happened in the USA and I don't think the above comment was defending either side. The USA is just as evil and always has been.

That's not true either.

You can directly blame the people who developed this stuff, the programmers, most perfectly able to move jobs with no real loss in economic stability.

I think it's one of the most immoral and unethical jobs that could be taken today.

This is being said for Programmers, yet a good portion of HN goes out of their way to tell poor people they can just get a new job. Very contradictory!

Ignorant article. You can turn off any built in advertising, any questions, any notifications from Google. It's one of the first things I do when I setup a new personal Android phone.

This 'lock down' didn't happen because of the Google device and I don't even know how Google was at fault for anything here.

>Android 5.1.1

Lollipop came out in 2014, and not receiving any further updates is the device manufacturers fault. Bloat is also the device manufacturers fault since Android is open source. Google has nothing to do with the third party manufacturers versions of Android and how often they update. A better comparison would be a Pixel and an iPhone.

Still no housing for the poor or low income going up. There's plenty of demand for it, but no supply. Building more housing for the rich when nobody who wants even the slightest luxury will live in Seattle with all of its problems downtown.

>not by politicizing the work environment.

What type of politics should be allowed at work? What about talks about workers rights, wages? What about conversation on ethics & morals behind projects they themselves are contributing to?

Do Libertarians believe authoritarian private governments akin to communist dictatorships (employers) can strip your rights when you clock in?

I don't see any "mass media" effecting tech workers. A lot of us are pretty smart & can critically think. I see employee's not aligning morally with drone & censorship projects which is absolutely 100% not a bad thing.

I am fortunate to work for a company that I know of does nothing immoral or unethical, but refuse to work for Amazon, Google, or Facebook regardless of their recruiting efforts because I know I don't align with them morally or ethically.
