That is at best very risky and at worst a total fail. These bags do not offer good EM-shielding, as shielding linearly depends on the thickness of the metal and type of metal. Aluminum is not very good.
Even if that seems to shield your phone, it could still pump out more RF from time to time to get a ping though and receive a (bad, but good enough) signal for cell-tower triangulation and can detect the strength of other RF signals, and, one thing you completely forget, it can still record sound, acceleration, gravity, orientation, etc. Altogether that may not give you fine positioning accuracy, but correlating it with positions of roads, buildings, etc. may still be enough.
Remove the battery, and you reliably prevent all of that from happening.
Even when an existential threat stares them in the face, they deny it if it is just a few years away and not too immediate. (Just look at all the deniers posting here.) The human race is incapable of dealing with an existential threat that is a few decades away.
That said, maybe Trump will nuke the planet, thereby reducing the problem as nobody will be around to suffer the consequences...
The only reason Dirty Cow is a problem for Android is that Android update sucks badly. Until update is fixed, the platform must be regarded as highly problematic.
Or have one with a removable battery and remove it on certain occasion and random other times. Anybody trusting their phone has a problem with perceiving reality.
And that is exactly the problem. The human race is at this time not able to produce secure complex software in one step. It is a long, incremental process, and at each new discovery it becomes a race between the attackers and the defenders and in the typical case, that process is not finished when the hardware is decommissioned. Without timely updates (and that means next day for a published vulnerability, and not too much longer for others), the outcome of that race is already determined in advance. These days the attackers we know about are still slow, but there is no reason to believe that they will stay that way.
When I buy an Android phone, the key consideration will timely security updates, everything else is secondary. The general public does not understand that though, so the situation seems to be getting worse, not better.
That makes no difference to people that actually have mastered coding. Incidentally, the indention-method of Python works remarkably well, there are just people that cannot adjust to having their bad practices directly break things.
Going on 50, I am one of these older folks that still do some programming. Lua is a very elegant minimalistic modern scripting language and very easy to embed. Python is sort-of the really big version of Python. I like both a lot and use them in daily work, Lua embedded in C, and Python with modules written in C.
Most people do not go in that direction. The ones that do notice more and more with growing experience how the pseudo-scientific answers doe not cut it. The others just cling to their (usually mistaken) beliefs harder and harder over time, because the magnitude of their error becomes larger over time and hence harder to admit.
I count these as barely human cave-men. But yes, these failed human beings tend to cluster around "leaders" that share their lack of positive human qualities.
You need to check out the respective entries on http://www.linux-on-laptops.co... before you buy. The problem are mostly with the vendors, not with Linux, hence you need to avoid bad vendors. With this approach, I have zero problems so far, except for one fingerprint-reader, which I do not care about anyways (they are far to easily tricked to qualify as security-mechanism).
People that go for fads like this one usually think they are "cool", "modern" or even "cutting edge", when nothing like that is true. While I fully agree with your statement, those people cannot even understand what you are saying.
I am willing to believe "accidentally". It may just have taken one typo. The kid is a moron nonetheless, as life exploit code needs to be treated with care, just like a sharp object or a weapon.
Well, the US "legal" system will probably not let him forget this, ever, but the real failure is with the parents for not insisting on some measure of common sense in their kid before allowing him a cellphone.
You should not confuse your demented fantasies with history. As I said, no indications of this in Germany. This is far too large for a cover-up, hence I very much doubt it is accurate. One thing I do see this matching is the (completely false) hysteria over "sex trafficking" in the US. Probably the same manipulation techniques at work there. And people fall for it.
The Holocaust, on the other hand, did happen and the reported size is very likely accurate. Also, lots and lots ow witnesses. And there, I got a lot of information in school and society in general in Germany knows. A completely different situation.
Fail, and fail. Impressive. This is about a government grant in applied research and it is _not_ peer reviewed. It gets reviewed by bureaucrats and that is one thing I will never be.
When it is also stupid, other terms are usually applied...
But that seems to be the new Apple strategy: Do utterly stupid things, and then praise them as "brave" and "innovative". I fear that the Apple fanbois will buy these product nonetheless, because they have no actual understanding of technology and hence cannot detect or understand how they are getting ripped off.
SSD speeds (and it is really access time we are talking here, bandwidth is pretty irrelevant for paging) is somewhere between traditional disks and RAM, but closer to disk than RAM. This means paging will be a bit faster, but still dog-slow. For Swapping, it is not much better either. You cannot fake RAM well, although countless bad engineers have tried and countless unscrupulous marketeers have tried to sell the inadequate results as the next revolution.
The one before you is a fool and his mind-set is what is causing the current crisis. He probably has never heard of science being funded by patrons, not because they bought a specific outcome (which is not science), but because they recognized a great mind and wanted a bit of that to rub off on them. With all the funding bullshit and worthless incremental "research" done today, there are basically no great minds left in science because the border-conditions suck too badly. Incidentally, the great minds in technology are getting fewer and fewer as well, due to similar problems. The bean-counters destroy everything they touch.
Indeed, it does. Even getting applied research funding requires you to lie convincingly these days, as the ones evaluating the applications seem to think they are buying a finished product. I have just been through this utterly stupid thing again. No surprise science is utterly broken today. Smart people move out of it as soon as they can. The rest cannot really do well.
I completely disagree. From my experience, "incremental research" universally means irrelevant research, as there is only so much you can do incrementally into a direction that actually promises results. Hence people go into directions where they can "increment" and publish long-term, but where nothing useful ever comes out. In fact, solving an issue can cost a scientist his job as there is then no more chance to do irrelevant increments!

That is one thing I do not get: Climate change will be an extreme challenge, and people evaluate things that will help by their looks?

Funny. Of course the second is meant to mean Lua. But why somebody cowardly sniping from the dark is expecting to be taken seriously is a mystery.

You wish.

Hahahaha, funny. You are badly off on all counts. Simply incompetent, or malicious liar? Not that I care much.

Spoken like a true cave-man.
I agree, but there were at least two stupid mistakes:
1. Sending out the wrong link (simple stupid)
2. Making it easy to send out the wrong link (pretty much an epic fail)
