Unsure, it seems only posts that reflect the negativity of the application are being down voted.

Being this type of site I wonder if a lot of the employee's at Niantic have accounts and could be down voting?

Either way it would be nice to hear why other users are down voting these because the users comment is within the guidelines.

The method could be circumvented using Xposed + Magisk modules on android (I believe iOS had a method as well).

However this is all irrelevant considering they spent a month or two deciding to ban these devices and it only took 3 weeks for new scanner apps to pop up that potentially will never be brought down [1] the owner claims they will never be taken down now in his posts which makes me wonder if he is balance loading thousands of accounts to prevent Niantic from banning his application from working - which really it was bound to happen eventually just needed the time for some to write out the necessary code and figure out a quick way to authorize and potentially keep creating accounts.

In all honesty I believe the ban on rooted/jailbroken devices was really to remove people who were not contributing as much money to the game. In my experience a rooted device usually signifies the user wants to pay less for/in apps.

Of course many users need rooting for backing up, tweaking the interface for better performance, but in the end most rooted users did this method to install hacked apps or circumvent some restriction that they would normally have to pay for (such as wifi tethering).

It is silly and I am more then just frustrated that I had to spend hours getting Magisk installed to keep playing but in the end they are a business and the main focus is making money.

edit Apologies I must have read over you mentioning the Magisk method!

edit2 also I have a lot of friends who bought phone's pre-rooted so it goes to say it's not really a smart maneuver on Niantics part to just assume people are rooting devices purposely.

As the following aggregation states possibly Java and Google Cloud [1].

You still have speed issues with certain areas.

I'm no expert of course but areas like the south in the United States are still stuck on DSL lines and even older technology.

I would think that this would be reasoning for not doing that yet.

I noticed they intentionally remove a "p" from Apple to avoid getting Apple after them. I wonder if it would be smart to report these listings to Apple directly since they have a far better bankroll to tackle those problems. Although I'm sure it is difficult even for Apple to address them.

I always search out that a validation library hasn't already been done in my current language first before attempting validation with custom code - this leads to more easily maintainable code for future eyes.

For example in PHP I use filter_var function with the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL [1] - while it's great to know why and how to do a particular thing programming, it's better to use a time tested library that is maintained by multiple eyes versus just your own.

I combine this method with a LiveScribe Echo smartpen (Sky edition). This allows me to backup my notes via wireless but also keeps the human pen + paper touch to the notes.

I feel as though I remember things a lot better when I write them down versus typing.

I originally picked up one of these pens for college and it helped a ton with staying on track in class and always having a backup of the lecture that sync'd in an animation to my notes (so i could either play the notes back, or tap at a location and begin playing back from that point).

They have various versions but I would only recommend the Echo or the Sky - the version 3 in my experience only connected to the mobile apps, so on windows/mac you were not able to view your notes (very annoying). However the Sky (Echo with wifi sync) and Echo allowed me to sync the notes to a desktop app which allowed me to export pdf's. I hope they open up PC support for the 3 but after two or so years it looks as though they will never add that as a usable platform.

Will future generations of this allow you to download your own raspbian image then run it - versus having the bloat?

Great product will definitely be using this today!

I agree with the second, the first however I believe in some situations a confirmation can be ideal - delete, de-activate, flag, etc.

Of course the quick unflagging is nice and works - just wondering if it would help with alerts in the back end.

Maybe the logs could be analyzed to see how many "mis-clicks" are triggered daily?

This should be easily do-able since the calls are timestamped and could be compared (only count flag/unflag that is within 20 seconds of each other or something similar?)

Embarrassingly I happened to do this on a desktop - waking up so more then likely due to being groggy!

I am not entirely sure, as a web developer I've never seen a certificate pass all SSL checkers yet chrome and firefox on my computer (up-to-date) won't load them. I pondered a MITM attack but it's literally the only site this happens on - not exactly sure what is causing the https to not load on my end.

edit All I get is "ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR" - I'm pretty sure I tested this link out at work but I will again on Monday to verify it happens there (currently I'm tethered as well as vpn'd to PIA and I don't think my provider T-Mobile is doing anything to block this one ssl)

One would think they should have means to prevent that considering they can restrict access to call forwarding?

T-Mobile as well here and I have never once received a robocall.

I wonder if they are actively trying to do something to prevent this already and now AT&T wants to join?

I wonder if these moves will push more and more users to go down the pirating path of the Enterprise edition.

Yikes looks like someone didn't setup SSL properly on the project's website (http redirects to https) https://www.ampproject.org/ it'd be nice to see some of the examples.

edit Google cache isn't loading everything - at least to my knowledge.

edit 2 Yay web-archive to the rescue!

Cannot wait for rpi3 support!

I liked this recommendation a lot by vibhavs [1] (in your first link). Found the pdf thru Wayback machine [2]. Had a lot of really good tips to keep in mind.

Site doesn't work on https replace with http

Interesting I take the transit often and use Google Maps, I will need to test out Transit to see how it compares. Thank you

"While the game was only available in a few countries at the time, the app has attracted more downloads in the App Store during its first week than any other app in App Store history."

The color choice is just yikes!

Did anyone else get reminded of Futurama - Law and Oracle (S06E16 / E104)?

I do wonder if this type of technology is something we should slowly approach due to the very nature of the outcome of sentencing. We already incarcerate a lot of innocent people and I truly wonder if this is something we should tread lightly on.

Granted USA is not a true Democracy but doesn't that defeat the purpose of a Democracy?

Of course I know that you can't have freedom and security these days but should we just start re-labeling the states as a different type of government?

I'm by no means an expert however if we are to have freedom to keep our secrets why is it shameful to do so - even if it is "something to hide" is fearful to divulge we should still have that right to make the choice.

Correct me if I'm wrong, please, because I'm still very young with politics and as such am still learning a lot about it.

They should offer a pick-up option to prevent any tampering in transit to make it seem more worthwhile.

I mean if someone is required to be that concerned about security I'm certain they will justify the costs to go pick-up a device versus risking having it compromised.

You gotta wonder if many of these owners who jump ship with vendors money, are the ones who show up suddenly with funds to "save the day".

No your not crazy at all!

Sometimes it is better to do many smaller requests versus one bigger request, and it would be nice to see a pricing structure based on bandwidth at least.

Interestingly enough that is being discussed on the front page of HN right now! That is if you have not already seen this.

Nice to see he responded with that info.

It was however after my comment so I was in a point of limbo at that point.

It's amazing and I will link the phpStorm/webStorm but as I am looking I am pretty sure it has been ported to all the IntelliJ products and even more.

The only down side is it's not great on looks but honestly it's a popup to tell you a shortcut so it fits well for the purpose

"Key promoter"

https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/4455

I have a plugin for IntelliJ's Webstorm/Phpstorm that does just this and it's amazing - whenever I use an item that has a shortcut it pops open that short cut so I can slowly learn them.

If I also use something that doesn't have a shortcut 3 times within the programs running then it asks me if I want to set a shortcut for that action.

I think as time goes on Google will eventually be on this route considering how well it works (at least with the first portion of showing the shortcut command whenever I use it).

However that still wouldn't solve the problem of the users having to learn the commands from scratch first so if they don't know it exists they would never learn the shortcut for it in "OK Google"
