If you mean "different OSes" then say so. I use Android devices with Nougat, Marshmallow and Kitkat all the time and I don't have to change the way I use them. They're all the same. There are minor changes to appearance and the newer ones have some stuff I never use (multiple windows..on a 5 inch screen? great. Power saving - I charge them when I need to, in the evening, so it just means plugging something in every 2 days instead of every day). Which apps can I not use on Kitkat? They all seem to work for me.

You're new to this, aren't you? Yeah, you might find an exploit randomly, while chatting to a mate, and think "yeah, i'll tell snapchat i was chatting to someone and the app revealed a backdoor and i could access anyone else's chats". Sort of like if you find a million dollars you hand it in and get $1000 in return, for being honest?
No. They want people to tell them about flaws they've found when they've reversed the app, watched the traffic with wireshark and managed to pinpoint exactly what's happening and why. That's what's not worth the money. They're just not competitive.
I don't know what you're talking about. Nobody has a device for 30 years. This announcement is just an advert for Project Treble, so people can pretend they'll be using the same phone in 6 years instead of the usual 2 or 3.

Eh? The largest group now are gamergate kidults and other retards who post death and rape threats to normal people, plus a handful of eternally optimistic people posting replies to celebrities in the hope that they'll read one of them.
Only Americans are worried about Iran. Everyone else is worried about America! If you're American and worried about Iran you're consuming the wrong news sources.
You're special. Most people don't give a shit if the app they use makes a note of where they are more accurately than they need to. Because the phone already knows exactly where you are, and people know this, and they assume the information is available. If they gave a shit they'd not use smartphones, or they'd be more careful.
"This means that once the Treble vision is fully realized (and it's going to be a process; this is a huge change which may take device makers a couple of years to get fully up to speed on)"
Are you saying that potentially some Oreo devices will not actually have Treble deployed? How would these be identified? We're not going to find out until Android Q comes out and isn't available for that device, are we?
To be fair, they were comparing the quality of microsoft's translation with the sort of quality you get from the sort of Indian who phones you up at home when you're having your food to tell you that "your computer is having virus and internet is being attacked with hacker but for you sir because i work for microsoft and can do the needful i can remove hacker for only $699.99"
Loads of muppets on Hacker News asking the same question... as if Google would launch a whole new OS and accidentally choose the name of a popular snack, and not sort out the commercials (advertising, payment etc).
The US government does this all the time. Talk badly about "socialism" when the topic is poor people, healthcare etc, but take money from those people to pay billionaires and wealthy corporations and banks so that they can continue to profit.
Get a raspberry pi and a 16gig sd card. Create git repositories for all your local repositories. Every once in a while push your data there.
If you lose 3 months work because you didn't know what you're doing, tried something, didn't read a message, and didn't have backups you're not a developer - you're just a fucking idiot.
Star Wars - Rogue One was £21 in London. They can fuck right off. Watching a movie once, for a couple of hours, isn't worth more than £10 maximum to me.

They've not convinced themselves; their job is to make money from popular films, and some body shapes are more popular than others. People associate fat with less attractive and lazy. If the producers routinely and non-ironically cast overweight people all the time they'd be less successful. Do you seriously think that, to pick a random example, Bond movies would have been more popular if, instead of, say, Ursula Andress climbing out of the sea we were confronted with the likes of Beth Ditto or Roseanne Barr? All things being equal (acting ability, charisma, charm, ability to ad-lib) there's no advantage to being overweight and, I'm sorry to say, the stigma will never go away because everyone knows that if you really want to lose weight it's just not that hard.
I had some bugs explained on the mozilla forum then they wiped everything and said missing stuff had to be entered again. What, no backup? Can't be bothered. I want to use Firefox as i like plugins but I can't be dealing with stuff like the Google Keyboard not working properly on firefox (but is fine on every other app including chrome), specifically the ability to move the cursor by swiping the space bar left/right or holding the delete button and swiping left/right so I'm back to chrome.

How about the one where you can escape a vm through javascript on the client browser, for starters?

Damn man, same here. Just bought a $4000 solid gold NFC ring and now it's going to be made useless.

"E-Cigarettes With Nicotine Increase Your Risk of Heart Disease, Says Study"
later
"It also only shows that vaping affects the markers that are known risk factors, it doesnâ(TM)t show that vaping is connected to actual heart disease"
Seems like either the study, or just the headline, is worthless.
I don't. I use whatever is right for the job.

I would have guessed more than 9% too! I think that figure will surprise people but not for the reasons Microsoft were probably hoping.

In the UK at least, if you didn't pay, there's no contract.

Even in theory it is impossible to "unfairly punish" Murdoch's News Corp.
