Most of the investors do not grasp what this is about. Nor do they care for that matter. For them, it's only about money.
Until punishment for this kind of negligence do bankrupt companies, nobody will care. They'll get a fine and they'll walk.
Also, after a mess of this magnitude, all NYSE transactions should be deemed invalid until a month before at least for the board. Those C-level deserves either jail or AT LEAST, all gains nullified. That's whether they were in or not. I don't care. Being that incompetent should be a crime.
It would require probably less than 5 lines of JS to actually allow tabs, backspace and other special characters in a password (or otherwise text) field. And the transmission to the backend has been figured out since decades now. You can actually encode those the way you want, even left up down and right arrows and other special keys that do not have an ASCII counterpart (think caps lock, Scroll Lock and such and even mouse events !)
The biggest issue here is that you're diverging from a perfectly universal way of entering a password on your site, which your users need to be aware of. Since the available mind-time for such bullshit is lower than ever these days, I'd say good luck.
My first concern was that it'll actually do what they say, not keep logs, etc. What's in it for Mozilla? Corporate altruism is extremely rare, or even logical from a business standpoint. Maybe it's providing more PR visibility for Firefox since it uses that domain name? That seems weak though.
Think about Firefox - the web browser. What's in it for Mozilla?
Regardless it is many many times faster than an iPhone
I don't see how it may be. It takes me around 2 seconds from the time I grab the phone in my pocket to the time I can press the shutter button. Maybe the Sony is faster but that's going to be a stretch.
Maybe you should try a modern iPhone instead of comparing your flagship Sony to the fading memory you have of an old iPhone.
Meanwhile as you are still fumbling to unlock your iPhone, using the dedicated camera button on my Z1 Compact I have already taken a photo.
It's already been years since unlocking the iPhone wasn't needed to take a picture. Take it in your hands, slide to the left and take the picture is all that is needed.
That may make you look pretty stupid when they file a criminal complaint against you. The proxy does not help, or have you forgotten that they have your email address?
While incredibly stupid, his reaction has nothing criminal to it - assuming he did tell us all the story there is to tell.
If your turn it off then apps can't get your location, even when they are in the foreground and you want them to access it. Your solution is the equivalent of healing a sprain by amputating the entire limb.
My favorite is trying to enter 15 character randomized passwords into a "force mask" field.
My favourite is entering a 24 character randomised password into websites/software where the retarded morons designing it felt they knew better than me and blocked/intercepted paste.
Drag and Drop is one sure way to defeat poorly-coded-paste-prevention input fields. It's as easy to make it inoperable but nobody thought of that one in the afflicted websites I've tried so far.
I beg to differ. My iPhones lasted me longer than my Android ones. Granted, they are more expensive so it evens out.
, the battery cannot be replaced,
Yes they can. Either by you (If you're skilled with tiny screwdrivers) or by Apple (if you don't feel like it)
it cannot be opened by a normal person and be repaired or upgraded.
Neither can an Android or only moderately so. I repaired iPhones and Androids and apart from the battery which is more serviceable on most Android phones, it's on the same level.
Apps are not better, they are made to run swiftly on older versions.
Apps used to be widely better on iOS. Now only moderately so. But the Phone will receive OS updates for WAY longer then Android phones and Apps support will be overly superior on iOS.
You are just buying a phone with next year's specs,
Yes.
and after that it's just like any old phone, which will scratch, which battery will fail
Well, just like an Android phone now no?
, which will become slower and slower.
It has stopped being true since iOS 9. Actually, iOS9 made my phone faster and then iOS10 made it faster as well. Memory usage is another thing but overall this is not true anymore.
Women are six times more likely to encounter stereotyping than men (25 versus 15 percent), and twice as likely to be subjected to unsolicited sexual advances (6 vs 3 percent)
If you're feeling threatened because someone on an online forum is "bitcing rudely" about other people, you must have a hell of a time navigating the real world. Get PTSD every time a car backfires.
You have obviously not been near the kind of forums (supposedly private but you don't really know who's there since they're all strangers behind aliases) we're talking about here. Some extremely rude comments (covered under questionable humor) about women including rude talks about slavery, gang rape and other nice bullshit about women are not as rare as you seem to think they are. Especially when some members of said group are drugged, drunk or otherwise high.
And I can assure you that being a female and working in a project with such people can be more than intimidating.
They don't need to, but it's easy to do, and it solves the problems without much sacrifice. And you can still try to make it a better place at the same time.
Sacrificing your identity is arguably the biggest sacrifice.
The biggest gap is here: "In the survey, 95 percent of respondents were men", even though an on-line open source collaboration is the perfect place for a female developer to be judged purely on the quality of the code rather than gender. Just pick a gender neutral alias and start coding.
It doesn't quite work that way when the male cohort starts bitching rudely on women on the general chatroom your magic neutral alias doesn't save you from feeling A) insulted, B) threatened.
Moreover, suggesting women need to hide behind a gender-neutral alias in order to contribute to an OSS project should be big enough a tell for you to figure out you are way out of line.

There is no need for a disaster for a disk to fail. Disks fail. It happens.

Isn't that what HDR is ?

Just turn it off for the weather app then.

It's actually easy to see what Apple can do in a phone for $1200- just look at what Samsung/HTC/LG/etc. can do in a phone for $600.
Ever tried to pay something with Samsung Pay ?
The iPhone is not made to last

So: No.
Your choice, but obviously based on wrong data.
Even though it cost Apple only around $200 to make my iPhone
It didn't cost Apple $200 to make your phone. It does cost them $200 a pop to mass produce them, which is quite different.
So... You can get Uber on one of those phones? Or does Uber needs Gapps - just like most useful apps on Android?
On Apple you do not have to have an Apple account either. You can Jailbreak.
But everyone opens an account (either google or Apple depending) just because it allows you to really fully use your phone.
The difference is hairsplitting here.
I want the ports of the Macbook Pro, but I want a physical escape key like the Macbook.
FYI, you can still get a Macbook Pro with a physical ESC key.
But those only have TWO USB ports and nothing else. It's barely better then a Macbook.
Not that I know of. Care to elaborate ?

That's all fine and well until you bitch about someone's code, and they happen to be female. Then it's discriminatory.
No it's not. This is you being a giant asshole.

Linus may be a dick but all of his flame wars are based on code and otherwise technical-related.
I don't remember him bitching about women or disabled people or on looks. He always bitch about the project and factual things.
This is very different even though I would never work under his care because of it.

Please read the post before mouthing off. The first three words "for my education please" are an admission of ignorance and a request for information.
"for my education please" is four words, no?
This is going to be great, in 2020 - too bad it's 2017.
Agreed. How dare they take the necessary time to build something great.
