I agree more choice is good but I dont think it's fair to hold Google responsible for not providing their competition to you. And saying other stores are not available is just incorrect. I'm actually straining to think of some example where a store gives access to other stores (other than your ideal mall analogy). Apple has the same type of warning even on the desktop now. As long as the option is there I think it's fine. If they ever took that away though, it'd be time for pitchforks and torches.
Amazon's app store can be downloaded on any Android device (I just installed it on my Nexus 5X). And of course other stores aren't on Google Play That would be like Walmat allowing a Bestbuy to setup inside its walls -- but you most certainly can _use_ other stores.
Were any of the violations you saw as serious as setting up a personal server for all email? (Thank you for adding some perspective to this regardless)
They will never be able to vet all the ads. I used to work for a major news website and the Ad Ops people there were always swamped. They also only knew a bit of HTML. There is no way they will be reading all that minified javascript.
The only way to prevent malware from occasionally slipping through the cracks would be to remove scripting.
A lot of parolees are placed at a serioius disadvantage though. - Have trouble getting a job due to a record. - Often have to pay ridiculously high fines and "fees" related to their processing and incarceration - Rarely get good medical treatment for addictions. - Were often forced into the system by a plea deal
If we are serious about preventing recidivism, we would lay better foundations for helping these people become productive members of society.
Sadly, the reality is that our society prays upon those least able to defend themselves. No one wants to stand up for a convicted ______.
You know that's the price for a corporate medallion too, right? That's what outs him. It's a particular segment of a completely unrelated market. You think that applies? Check out his other posts on uber, he drops that shit in everywhere. His info is not out of date, he is just lying. That $1 million number is a favorite talking point of the pro-uber zealots, because it's big and lacks context.
Bullshit yourself. Uber is only working within the regulation in places that they have decided it wasn't worth fighting anymore (often because they won enough concessions).
Any app with the mic permission can listen -- it does not need to be signed by the OEM/system/rom. What they can't do is leverage a lower power dedicated processor such at that on the Moto X. But any app can turn on the mic with the correct permission granted.
Listen, sonny, you lived through that world. Slashdot once did well for itself. And given your uid, you should remember that.
"Buzzfeedification" of content is killing the net. Notice all those outbrain, taboola, and other shit all over news sites? This article is the same thing. Corporations astroturfing "advertorial" clickbait is bad for everyone -- especially on a site the is supposedly still "driven by user submissions".
So fuck any fatalistic or indignant defense of this turd masquerading as news.
Maybe it's fantasy to imagine it'll ever change, but don't be a tool.

The idea here is to use some other exploit to gain access and drop the .jar file onto the system, then run it as a regular local application.
If malware gains local application code execution, then the target user is pretty much farked anyways -- the language used is irrelevant.

I would assume it would have to be enough of the code for the FBI to prove it was able to use that code to identify the defendants.
If it can be read, couldn't they create a clone with a new chip? Pardon my ignorance on this.

Anyone can download the Amazon app store. Also try F-Droid. There are a lot of alternative stores, just not sure which are all that good.
Well, that's a stressful thought
You can block people from following you, and I think they have a private mode now so only your followers see your tweets.

it's logistically impossible to audit all the ads, especially for a publisher. They need to remove all the scripts.

Yep -- I have worked on apps that did exactly that. (Although not for listening in and the data was never saved). Certainly someone could though.
which often cost over $1Million
You realize casually dropping that in with weasel words outs you as a zealot, right?

It's nice to see you have moved on from your Apple shilling days to Uber shilling.

Just look back in his history: 0 comments, always an astroturf account, even pre-dice.
here's page 50 from his submissions which date back to May, 2012:

Yeah it would seem like a relatively easy fix for the background uploader service to check
Something sorta like:
//ask user if they still want to backup...
if (photosApp.isInstalled()) {
performBackupSync();
} else {
promptUser();
}
I'm sure they also pinky-swear not to look at any of the other logs for illegal activity.
I 100% agree with that^
