First: It's fucking Uber, they can do what they like to. We know they are doing shit. Second: If you rely on Uber, you're left alone if anything happens. Don't rely on Uber alone. Third: When everyone wants to get away, there IS surge and many people will be happy to pay twice the price, just to get a ride before somebody else gets it. If Uber limits the price, there will not be more rides available.
There are literally hundreds of such apps, which probably most the time just contain a few buttons with nice pokemon images and some sections of the FAQ... and of course a lot of ads. This makes it really hard to find good apps, like pokevision (RIP) or Pokeradar or some useful pokedex, which has the weaknesses of the pokemon as they are in pokemon go.
As far as i know, the way to circumvent it is to temporarily disable root access. Which is a no go, as it would probably disable mandatory root apps like xprivacy and afwall. I do not want (other) apps to phone home while i am playing the game.
If consent is that easy for you, i do not want to be your girlfriend.
Just because i give you my name, that doesn't mean i give you any right to use it for something. You need to ask me, what you may use it for. Then we can get to an agreement. What do you think, why there are long and unreadble ToS? Because without, the companies would NOT be allowed to use your name, even when you enter it on their website.
You're telling, they use safetynet, which is nearly impossible to circumvent and then you say it will only hurt people not knowing what root is, because it's already circumvented. Somethings wrong here, and i think the first part is the true one:-(
Sorry, but i am discarding pokeballs all the time. Sometimes even superballs and the berries as well. When you walk a usual route with pokestops, i.e. on your way home, you get a lot of stuff, but most the time you need the potions and revives only. If you're running out of pokeballs, you're visiting too little pokestops.
If they would have kept their strong policy here, there would be a general discussion about the policy. So they admit a small failure, allow the image and life goes on. Nobody needs to discuss the policies any further, because the image is there, isn't it?
It's not Google Play, but Google Play services, which provide the whole phone with location. If some app uses wifi location, the services provide it. in turn they send gps to google, so the matching gets more accurate (and google can improve the wifi map).
But yes, you virtually cannot stop GPS from talking to google all the time and that's a big problem. And many apps won't work without play (and thus gps) installed, because they use it for Google cloud messaging (GCM) push notifications, DRM management, inapp purchases, location and much more.
The whole DMCA was designed to have a law, which extends the existing copyright laws, which provided these barriers, to be able to remove content without proving such things.
You notice the difference, if there is some exploit. A sandbox will protect you (i.e. the flashplayer sandbox of chrome), but the extension api doesn't protect you from extensions for example exploiting a weakness in V8. And the weakness may allow the extension to use all api functions. Or run native code. Or whatever.
Not for Mozilla. They have important bugs, that are a decade in their BTS. Such big projects have a hard time to fix everything, especially when they set the priority on moving forward to new features.

> the latency issue in Tor exists as a protection against timing attacks No, it does not, but it should (as idea of the tor devs). This means currently you have random relay based latency, which can make it even easier to fingerprint your connection. The plan (to be done when it's time) is to add random latency and padding to packets (generating overhead as well) to make fingerprinting harder.

you can. just disable all the crap in your firefox. See ffprofile.com
Googles safebrowsing does. Firefox does it not at all if you disabled the google phone-home-to-make-my-browsing-safer stuff.
... huge things.

Why should somebody over 18 be tracked? I send a Do-Not-Track Bit and want the companies to respect it.

Niantic blocks root users.

They already do. Some person reported, that he got prompted to install a mc donalds app when entering the restaurant.
And you give a site permanent location access? Really?
Btw. if you do so, google could just use an iframe with maps.google.com to get the location on the main homepage.

Good thing. You never have too many linux isos. Never ever.

No sandbox, just a api limited by permissions.

SymphonyOS?
Dark Patterns. And not even the cheapest option selected by default.

Yeah, let me walk around for two weeks, before you tell me if you want to hire me. I have nothing better to do in the meantime.
