  1. We need an app that snoops on apps snooping on users.

    Everyone knows that. Question is, who really cares among the powerful? Does a 72 year old business man, mired in scandals and in lobbies commitments, eager to succeed politically at all costs, having a single (short-term) objective in mind to that end: 'improve his economy'... don't expect this man to care about something likely happening in the future to the planet, even if the proof was as clear as 1+1 = 2.

  4. Disclaimer: she is from South Carolina

  5. Maybe the problem is not the browser.

    Why, does it hold explosive features?

    Well they pulled a new feature, so I guess that's a step in the right direction!

    Not sure about that. That sounds more like a desperate move to remove a feature that will never be ready for the September "event". Not really reassuring, the guys made plans to integrate the feature, and a month before public release they give up the whole thing. Looks like nobody seriously controls the developments anymore [and yes the Jobs effect is completely fading away].

    I remember Tim Cook saying (after iOS 11 release, one of the buggy disaster since Apple Maps), roughly, "you want all these bugs fixed... we heard you! the next iOS will focus on that mainly, less on new features". This is not a good start...

    Since a couple iOS back, the UI deteriorates each time a little more. Unlocking the phone (fingerprint) while looking at the timer makes the iPhone go to several states before showing a stable screen. Sometimes, the icons get redrawn (like some older Windows). The other day, after using Music a while, playing a song and switching quickly to another one made the interface stay on the previous title. Not mentioning the various bugs that are never fixed, every year the UI is losing something.

    This doesn't look good, because those are not bugs that seem easy to fix. That sounds more like deep bugs, maybe some race conditions also, that show the Apple team has lost it, either because they're not motivated, or because the most competent ones abandoned the ship.

  15. Everything is illegal in Europe.

    Europe is making laws to protect users privacy, like the recent GDPR. What's wrong with that?

    GDPR to the rescue (in Europe).

    What do you do when there is actually a team of devs. SN could be a group of university students, which code is a mix of styles.

    No need of a complex AI engine. 1) Using line numbers smells an old dev used to early Basic stuff, 2) Using 10 and 20 confirms 1), 3) "Hello" not even "Hello, world" confirms that the dev has no other experience and is probably a lousy programmer, 4) print / goto shows a total lack of imagination, and 5) posted anonymously, so we're looking at an old degenerated pretending-programmer not really proud of his code, posting anonymously in the hope of getting a desperate funny mod while being actually almost certain to leave an unappreciated lousy post. That was easy.
