but even in that case, android is more toxic than iOS, because iOS apps have restrictions and warnings on background functions. For example, anytime the microphone is being used in the background, a big red band appears on top and if you click on the band it takes you direct to the app. in android, you can have rogue apps listen in the background and report back everything you say (actually, this is Google's business model).
Are you a nihilist or a sociopath "everyone will die eventually and people have been killing people ever since Abel and Cain. So let's not rush to judgment or take action to protect ourselves"
If he gets the pop up over and over again then at some point he will likely either goof and hit ok or give up and hit ok. Especially if they are not savvy about this. Will the app ask again later, do you want to keep giving the app your location? Umm no. Did you know that iOS does this at the system level, with occasional pop ups saying that an app has continued to access your app in the background, do you want it to keep doing that? Also iOS has three location options, no/yes when the app is open in the foreground/yes all the time. And they are pushing apps away from the third option.
you're closing your eyes to the true depth of the islamic terrorism problem if you insist on seeing it as a bunch of jerks instead of how it really is, a cultural and political movement.
Analogy time. Let's say there's a fraternity on campus known as the rapey fraternity. The leaders encourage and endorse date rape. Members of the fraternity cheer on social media whenever date rape is reported in the media. You know a guy in the fraternity who is a very active participant. Goes to all the meetings, goes to all the parties, wears the fraternity sweatshirts around campus, all that stuff. You don't know him personally, but isn't it reasonable to be wary of this guy? would you want your sister or daughter dating this guy?
Many strains of fundamentalist islam are like this rapey fraternity. Hate and violence are so infused into the core of the sect, and infused into the religious teachings themselves, that I think if you are american or european it's perfectly reasonable to be wary of somebody who chooses to associate themselves with this sect.
Here's the deal. Islamic terrorism is not a "fringe movement" or a group of "isolated loners". This makes it different from the Charleston church shooting kid, the Colorado movie theater kid, the unabomber, and even the Oklahoma City bombing. It's an international movement and is the express goal of many nations, Muslim sects and people around the world. Search Twitter for 'allahu ackbar' to see all the people around the world celebrating this attack. A person who reflexively rejects any attempt to understand or protect against a worldwide message of hate and violence has his head in the sand.
in terms of the way a computer network is built, it may not be "peer-to-peer" in that sense, but in terms of how the financial system operates, it is peer to peer. If you wrote me a check, I would have to go to the bank to cash it. But if you gave me apple dollars, I would not need to make a special trip to deposit them. Kind of like if you gave me cash.
would you have to tie a checking account to your Apple ID? Would people be willing to do that?
I know that people woudl be willing to do this, because this is how paypal works as well. Paypal is tied to my checking account and they can withdraw or deposit funds. that's why it's so dangerous to get your paypal hacked as compared to a CC.
the article (yes, I read it!) says that apple is targeting a paypal-style service where they keep a service fee. They would displace the credit cards in this regard.
It should be said, polygon has been giving games 'provisional reviews' and then updating a final review after a month. This is especially relevant for online multiplayer games that are most functional when there's a large community.
There's a larger issue of password reuse. It's likely that many of the 590k people on the list feuse passwords, which means you can just start an auto logging script to get into email, banks, everywhere.
but you must also admit that Google is a dysfunctional organization that loves to explore cool ideas and take on innovative projects, but ultimately fails to execute in any meaningful way. It has truly changed the world with internet search, its browser is very popular, and its email service is used by many. The android OS is a big hit. And its advancements have provided motivations for other companies by showing what is possible. It's unlikely that the auto industry would be pursuing automation if Google hadn't pioneered it. But think of all of its dozens of really cool, innovative projects that have never really gone anywhere meaningful. More than anything it reminds me of the coolest academic department or R&D lab ever.
If you're a robotics visionary would you go work at google to lead their robotics efforts? It's likely that you'll get to work on cool stuff. but it's also likely that none of your cool stuff will go anywhere. This seems to be the pickle that they are in.
The problem isn't the emissions levels. The problem is engineers actively cheating on these regulatory requirements. Are they also cheating on safety tests? Or reliability tests? It would suck if your wheels came off when you were on the freeway then your airbags didn't work.

what do you have to wait for
so seriously, you can't unequivocally denounce a horrible crime? you can's say, "that is a shocking crime" without equivocating?
Are you a nihilist or a sociopath "everyone will die eventually and people have been killing people ever since Abel and Cain. So let's not rush to judgment or take action to protect ourselves"
Are you tom criuse? And I don't know anybody names siri.
Can you summarize here how it would work without a mic?
If he gets the pop up over and over again then at some point he will likely either goof and hit ok or give up and hit ok. Especially if they are not savvy about this.

Also iOS has three location options, no/yes when the app is open in the foreground/yes all the time. And they are pushing apps away from the third option.
And why can a rogue website or app access the microphone? Oh yeah cuz android.

What does Syria have to do with anything? Are you saying the Paris attacks are no big deal?

I'm glad there are console controls, because illbeayinv on a console!
I don't know what to do tonight - watch the GOP debate, or play fallout 4?
but you're not making a moral decision in the above comment, you're having an emotional reaction that's set by ideology.
You're one of those Fox News suckers that votes against his interests.
-1 sucky meter.

There's also a Bennett diagram of Comcast customers and Internet users...

So it's nice to be a worker drone... GP is talking about leadership.
