Not likely the people doing computer security are also trained firefighters so what do you suggest? They just stop doing their jobs until there are no bigger problems in the US?
Netflix is not at all the a la carte model. You pay for Netflix and you get everything, whether you have any interest in it or not. People are totally fine with that because it costs $10 a month or whatever it is. Amazon Prime is partially a la carte. Some stuff is included in the base price, and other stuff you pay more or you don't get it.
It's only when they're paying upwards of $80 a month that people start complaining that they're paying for stuff they don't want. It's really not a la carte vs bundling that's the issue, it's money.
I would think it's a lot easier to decree that the time has changed than to get thousands of businesses to all agree to change their hours. Just getting the TV networks to shift everything by an hour sounds difficult, though they're less and less relevant all the time.
"Allowed".... does the federal government have any authority to tell a private US company it's not allowed to hire workers or set up manufacturing in a particular country?
To pretty much solve trolling, one only needs to study the business model of those few companies and figure out how to disrupt it, how to make it not profitable.
Hopefully that's true, and they can't come up with another patent trolling model.
In terms of the end user experience. Yes developers are no-one.
That's an interesting perspective, since without developers there would be no end user experience. Or end users.
Or maybe just fire up Visual Studio
Visual Studio for Android development? No thanks.
If you're a developer and you're getting confused, please stop developing.
While I understand it can be amusing to make up stuff, I never mentioned being confused. Perhaps you're the one who is confused actually. You're mentioning all these resources for finding the relationship between the various pieces of information, when the comment that started this whole conversation specifically mentioned finding the information via a web search. Literally no one is saying the information is not available.
It's worse than that even. Besides the version number (9) and the name (Pie) there's also something called an API level that only developers see (28). Name -> number would be easy to figure out if it were always a major revision number, but it isn't. For example they didn't get to version 2 until Eclair, which starts with the 5th letter in the alphabet. Then Eclair, Froyo, and Gingerbread are all version 2.something. And so on. Only recently have names lined up with exactly one major revision number.
There are serious consequences to lying to investors, so whatever they say on the upcoming earnings call is almost certain to be true. They may not be entirely candid, but they're not going to say progress is coming along great if they've already shut down the project.
There are plenty of restrictions on speech though. Incitement to violence, fraud, defamation, false advertising. Free speech has never been absolute in the US, despite the wording of the first amendment. You may disagree with it, but that's how it is.
You're switching to iPhone then right? I don't think there's an Android vendor better than Google on updates. Or if there is, I'd like to know about it.
From what I read, it's fixing unit testing failures.
Well there you go. If the unit tests all pass after the fix, and test coverage is acceptable, and there's a QA program to test the kind of thing unit tests don't cover, I don't see the issue. It's true that the entity that created the bug fix didn't understand what it was doing, but a human (the person who accepted it) presumably did understand it, and it passes all the tests that would be required of a bug fix from a human. Either the testing is adequate, or it isn't. If it is, then we can be assured the bug fix was adequately tested. If it isn't, you're rolling the dice whether the fix was from a human or a bot.
If I understand correctly (I am not a particle physicist), describing an electron as a point is orthogonal to the idea of particles having both particle-like and wave-like behavior. That is, when physicists say it's a point, they're not saying it's a particle and not a wave, they're saying it has no dimension, unlike particles such as neutrons and protons, which have a diameter. Somehow (and I admit I do not understand how this is possible) electrons do not have any size - thus they are a point.
The reason that iOS has an upgrade rate that's 10x that of Android is because Apple has conditioned its users to constantly upgrade their OS.
I think it's more because (most) Android users are at the mercy of their manufacturer and carrier putting out an update. They're not really that interested in doing it, so most users get maybe one major version upgrade, and then some security patches, and then that's it. Whereas Apple upgrades all devices if it's compatible with the new OS version.

Some would call that the difference between invention and innovation.
I would buy the Huawei Mediapad M5 in a heartbeat were it sold at a store I could go to.
Well since it seems you have internet access: https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-...

Increase phone thickness, and use this change to increase battery volume.
And to add a slide-out keyboard. Hey, a guy can dream.

Statistics are always biased by their sample sizes, and criteria.

The SDK version and the Android version vary independently. There's obviously a mapping between them
It can't be both. Either they are independent, or there's a mapping between them.
if you look in the link you pasted for a single Android version with 2 different SDK versions
Which Android version number has more than one API level?
Users never even know about that. So why is it worse?
Because developers are people too.
So developers are no one?
Android version (7,8,9) and the SDK version (25,26,27) are independent.
No they aren't. Here's Google's documentation on them: https://source.android.com/set...
Moreover, the SDK version is not something a user of Android knows or needs to care about.
That's what I said. It's right there in the text you quoted.
It's worse than that even. Besides the version number (9) and the name (Pie) there's also something called an API level that only developers see (28).

You can install apps on Android in other ways ranging from alternative app stores to downloading apk files from a web site.
There are serious consequences to lying to investors, so whatever they say on the upcoming earnings call is almost certain to be true. They may not be entirely candid, but they're not going to say progress is coming along great if they've already shut down the project.
The last thing I need to do is download piles of identical WebView wrappers for websites
Perhaps you don't need or want any of them, but there are plenty of apps that are much more than that.
people have moving ONTO their software from a competitor
Does that actually happen though? I mean who would migrate to Oracle from something else at this point?
There are plenty of restrictions on speech though. Incitement to violence, fraud, defamation, false advertising. Free speech has never been absolute in the US, despite the wording of the first amendment. You may disagree with it, but that's how it is.
Actually there are numbers between 8 and 9, believe it or not.

it could also create an innocuous bug
So could a human, and it happens all the time. That's what testing (automated and manual) is for.
Build failures already tell you where the problem exists.
This bot was fixing build failures?
