Yeah I almost did a double take

Its convenient. Not everyone wants to waste their life centering divs you know

There is a summary bot that is usually the 1 comment on any article posts. Not sure why it did not appear for this.

It’s truly a great thing if Death is unable to change your priorities. You got your shit figured out and must pat yourself on your back.

A lot of people definitely would take it. This might be the time to confess their love to a lifelong crush, punch their bully in the face, save up and complete their bucket lists, etc.

Death focuses us on what’s actually important and meaningful for each of us.

Hey don’t pretend that you didn’t migrate as well.

Hey but that wouldn’t make money to companies like google ot samsung.

Your smartphone is itself a security hole. It has 10+ sensors on it nowadays and who knows how many apps lying about their privacy promises.

There’s no such thing as perfect security… unless your application is trivial and doesn’t do very much. Android is designed to collect data from the dozen plus sensors on your phone in order to get money from app vendors to push ads.

Android as a system has too many moving parts. You not only have to worry about various device manufacturers compiling their own versions of AOSP, you have to worry about how manufacturers package unremovable apps like facebook, candy crush, etc.

The backdoor is actually the front door… and it is app vendors who are actually the customers… not the phone owners.

The main reason smartphones took off is that business people were salivating at an always on, always listening device with 10+ sensors collecting data on this whole world. And we pay for the privilege.

Android has to be designed to collect data and show you ads. Is it really surprising that security here is just security against free access to this data from outsiders… and not caring about your security?

Hey I was just trying to make a joke… but looks like I didn’t consider the wording too carefully.

Hey, this is the history of human civilization since humans existed. You want an answer for why people don’t give up on their ideologies?

More like stock buybacks

As a developer this question is hilarious to me

The problem is it’s incredibly hard to switch off the years of information accumulated in your brain and pretend to be a beginner when communicating your thoughts.

Google lost the Artificial Intelligence race… so now they’re trying to win the race to Artificial Stupidity.

It’s effectively mandatory by design of U.S cities if you want to hold any kind of stable job that pays well enough.

Sure a lot of pages of ad infested ads replaced human produced content.

Can’t buy if it’s a private company and the founders are refusing to sell. Especially if the founders were former google employees who got fired.

Roads are fundamental to the operation of any government. It isn’t simply that states need to maintain roads. It is that states need roads in order to exist.

Is it right to say then, that the users of the roads pay for maintenance? Do you expect the government to print more money to pay for maintenance?

Edit:

Regressive taxation leads to overfunded main roads and underfunded side streets.

As opposed to both main roads and side streets being underfunded without tolls and road taxes? Do you expect Government to print money to pay for all this?

That selling to the next buyer who throws money at you obviously leads to risks of getting shutdown. People don’t want or care about long term sustainability and cry when business daddy decides that record profits this year don’t match up with imaginary made up profit growth and hence declare this as a failure.

Edit: “Making good, profitable games ‘will no longer keep you safe’” But only if you sold your soul for a bunch of retirement money from Bethesda or whoever else. If you are so keen on that sweet retirement exit then your studio was doomed the moment somebody offered the founders to a buyout. I am baffled at how people are missing this obvious conclusion.
