I heard you can Set Lures to get Pokemon to appear in locations that you want. So you could cause the P.Go servers to spawn Pokemon in the middle of a highway, in the middle of a swamp, or in a KKK meeting hall.
If they made P.Go available in Cambodia, they could put them in live, uncleared minefields.

Thanks mr safety guy thats great advice.

"Do not drive or ride your bike / skateboard / hipster techie device while interacting with the app."
Am I allowed to sit quietly in the corner without moving? Can I do that? Can I draw my gun and empty the magazine if a pokemon suddenly appears in front of me? Am I allowed to set fire to a building in order to flush them out? Can I poison all my coworkers so they're deathly ill and unable to play, giving me a clean shot at getting the pokemon at my workplace? If I'm robbing a bank and a wild pokemon appears, which takes priority- grabbing the sweet, sweet cash or capturing the pokemon? Am I allowed to give other players concussions or mortal wounds if they encroach on my playfield?

To be blunt about it, most of the Indian "developers" I've worked with have been worthless oxygen thieves.
About 10% seem to really know their shit, the rest are faking it, spending most of the time copying and pasting non-working code and then letting other people fix it. Some of them ask embarrassingly ignorant questions that expose them as completely unqualified, but because of the bargain-basement rates they work for, no one seems to give a shit.
"If you're an iPhone user and have installed Pokemon GO, you may have noticed that the app grants itself full access to your Google account. It can read your email, location history, documents and pretty much every else associated with your Google account."
Oh, I'm sure that Google would never do anything bad while they're pawing through all your shit in an attempt to monetize everything you do.
I mean, so they have your email, phone calls, location history, documents, camera, pictures, videos, contact list, etc etc, but c'mon- it's Google, and Google has never done anything shady, amirite?
Oh, and how does an app grant itself all of these permissions? Aren't we supposed to have to do that? What's the point of having "permissions" if an app can just assign them to itself at will?
Sue the Road Department for facilitating every crime which involved the use of a motor vehicle on a road or highway. Those guys aren't going to get away helping terrorists so easily!
Why, in my town they built a road that runs right past the bank, and some bank robbers used it when they held up the branch. Tell me that those road-building bastards aren't complicit!
It's the excitement of getting something you enjoy which you rarely get.
First, we got them pretty much whenever we wanted them, and second, I'm so relieved that you know better than I do what effects sugar and other ingredients have on my body and are able to confidently dismiss my personal experience that you had no access to or knowledge of.
They've done studies on this, too, and yes, children told they were being given sugary treats were more energetic than those being told they were given sugar-free treats.
Lol, no one sat us down and explained to us that Twinkies had sugar in them. We just ate them, we didn't give a damn what was in them. But wolf down a package or two of 'em and yeah, we felt a sugar buzz. Or some kind of buzz. Maybe it was all the fat and chemicals they contained, but something in them got us jammin.
Parents imagine the child acting out more because the placebo effect leads them to expect it.
Except I was the one feeling it, and I'm pretty sure what I felt. Unless, of course, it was some other ingredient that they used like meth or cocaine or something.
If an incident of counterfeiting becomes high profile enough to be an embarrassment to China, the authorities will hold a mock-trial and in short order you will be taken out and shot. Is that serious enough for you?
So if I'm not selling drugs, but I *believe* that's what I'm doing, I can be put in jail
Yes, and people have gone to jail for it.
-
If I put classified information on an unsecured server, but I don't *believe* that I'm doing anything wrong, I won't be charged.
No, because (theoretically) "ignorance of the law is no excuse", unless you're Hillary Clinton. The whole "intent" thing is tricky to prove in court, it's a huge, subjective gray area.
But as far as Hillary Clinton, goes, personally, I think she should be charged and convicted, just as Comey said he'd do to an FBI agent guilty of the same "misbehavior". It's a crime to "mishandle" classified information, and I think it's pretty fucking clear that's what she did.
-
And here I was, thinking that evidence of a crime is what you went to jail for.
Silly me...
Yep, silly you. Thank goodness you're not a judge. Normally the court wants "proof" of a crime, not just "evidence" of a crime. Or they want "proof beyond a reasonable doubt", but just "evidence" alone is not usually sufficient to convict a person. That's how it works.
It is also not entrapment to hand you the tools to commit the crime, and it's also not entrapment to drive you to a location for the crime, hand you the tools, and pay you a lot of money to commit the crime.
According to what I've read, that could indeed meet the definition of entrapment. It goes beyond mere "facilitation", and I suspect if those circumstances were part of your case you might very well get it thrown out.
So if I make you a dinner with tomatoes and think that tomatoes are poisonous, I'm in for attempted murder?
Yes, if you really thought you were feeding me something that was poisonous, you could in theory be charged with something. Possibly attempted murder, but I'm not sure what the actual charge might be.
As far as I know, it's a crime in every state to "deliberately poison food, drinks or medicine intended for human consumption". Penalties include fines and up to several years in prison.
So yeah, if you really thought you were poisoning me, yes, you may indeed be charged. In this case it's all about intent.
Is it breaking the law to not detonate a bomb that doesn't exist?
It's all about intent as far as the court is concerned. It's illegal to sell fake weed or crack, even if you know it's fake.
But the real nugget is that the FBI manufactured and facilitated this whole thing from start to finish in order to be able to claim they caught a "terrorist". That's what this is really all about- upping their stats.

Or do you not suppose that a driver will swerve to avoid striking them, with unknown results?
Not me. Jump in front of my car and you'll be lucky if I don't bill you for sponging the blood off the headlights.

Most people are bad at judging the effects of things in their food.
I'm not most people, but sure, whatever you say.

Do you even know how this sort of thing works?
Well hurr durr no, these new-fangled computin' machines are a consarn mystery to us techo-n00bs.
The article says, "you may have noticed that the app grants itself full access to your Google account"...
If it asks for those permissions, then it isn't granting itself a goddamn thing, now is it?
So, either the article is wrong or the app grants itself full access.
Out of curiosity, what part of "grants itself full access" sounds like "the app requests for those permissions when you install it"?
"The security researcher said he developed the tool after discovering that the randomly generated eight-character password"
Wait, what do you mean he "discovered" this? Doesn't this "researcher" know what his own fucking passwords are?
-
"I used that password as a general password for many services," he wrote in an e-mail.
What he meant to say was, "I claim to be a security researcher but really I'm just a hypocritical idiot who doesn't practice what I preach."
"If you're an iPhone user and have installed Pokemon GO, you may have noticed that the app grants itself full access to your Google account. It can read your email, location history, documents and pretty much every else associated with your Google account."

"At midnight on Friday, Uber also shut down their service for one minute "to create a moment of reflection for the Uber Community,"
Wow, a whole minute. They must really have been broken up about all that murder and killing and stuff.

They used real cream back in the 1960's.
So the legend has it....
The sugar rush from eating one of those on a little kid back then had about the same effect as taking one of Roger Ramjet's proton pills.
Roger Ramjet is great, super classic 1960s Saturday morning TV. Still funny after 50 years.
Being able to run Linux apps in Windows is like bragging that gold leaf will float in a sewage tank.
