Interesting. At home we've grown increasingly dissatisfied with Netflix. It takes forever to find anything good to watch. There was a time when they had reasonably current good movies. Now it can take us 30 minutes of clicking around to find something decent and, more often than not, we give up.

Let's put it this way, we are finding that we are recording dozens of movies shown on the FX channel an end-up watching these recordings, even though FX is great about ruining the experience with pointless commentary and tons of commercials (thankfully fast-forward on the DVR takes care of that).

FX (and others) have had better content for at least a year. Not sure why we keep paying Netflix. I need to have a serious look at Amazon video and other options.
Can't tell if this post is for real, but either way I respectfully disagree. Ever worn a Rolex? 99% of people won't recognize it. From those ppl that do recognize it and know the price, some will think its expensive and some will think its quite inexpensive.

Rolex sells almost a million watches a year now. It's a brand bought by rich, knowledgeable watch nerds as well as plebeian, flashy status-seekers and everyone in between. Rolex are given as gifts often enough whether from family or from your old fat boss for you being the best salesman in the district. And by now in 2017, many ppl are wearing Rolex watches they inherited as the company has been big for well over a generation of customers. In short, a Rolex doesn't signal anything discernible that can be generalized. Ya there are a small % of people who will see it and recognize it and think its expensive, but it is not screaming expensive, it's not screaming anything. Reasons for buying or having or wearing a Rolex may vary but its just a watch now.

Also, a sports watch or any watch with a tuxedo? You're at a party, and hopefully drunk, I would say leave any watch at home. But that's debatable too, so do whatever the fuck you want, assumptions will be made incorrectly regardless. Cheers :)

I think this falls under the pragmatic category of "you're only breaking the law if you get caught."
This is not specific to Android, it is basically the antivirus industry in general. "Let's ask every possible permission and inject code everywhere in the OS so we can prevent other applications from doing so."

I am usually for modularity, but I think this kind of security is part of the OS' job, and we have to move to security models where third-party AVs do not exist.

Of course, this is not just my opinion, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13082832 in particular.
Frankly i will eternally be puzzled why Symbian was dropped like a hot potato when iPhone and Android entered the scene.

It was almost as if the American tech press was completely unfamiliar with the mobile world outside USA (never mind being stupefyingly in love with Apple), and thus they praised iPhone like something unique in the mobile world when it launched.

The real puzzler though is that the rest of the world's tech press parroted that message like they believed it, when they should have known better.
You're getting downvotes for your "LA, LA, LA I'm not listening" attitude. Android and iOS have many very different advantages and disadvantages over each other, but security on iOS is very clearly vastly superior and this has been confirmed repeatedly by top security researchers. Trying to pretend that's not true or pick and choose 'whataboutist' issues and pretend that's all that matters to make false equivalences is really going to wind people up. The expected level of discourse here is quite a bit beyond that.

But, that's done on websites as well, and frankly it's annoying. Giving apps the ability to put stuff into the clipboard and extract it out again has been made too hard (and one of the few remaining applications of flash).

I'd even settle for the ability to put stuff in the clipboard programmatically ...

This is a case of overly broad security imho.
Longmire is a great example of the problem I have with "Netflix original".

It started on A&E 2012 to 2014; it's produced by Warner Horizon -- how is this original to Netflix?

It's a losing arms race, you can just feed the apps fake information if they insist. Are they going to disable their app if you don't have GPS reception or if it appears you are on the North Pole?

This may be hard to do for Google but it isn't for people like the Cyanogen developers.

No third-party ads. Prime pre-roll advertises its shows in its own show.
Yeah. Amazon released Prime internationally recently. And it has 7 day free demo period, so I thought I'll try it. I open app and see - aww, it's like 15 TV shows and a hundred movies? Come on... Then - ok, lets check what they actually have available. The Man in High Castle? Looks promising...

And I'm still subscribed :) . Need to check Netflix too, hope they have a bigger content selection.
You can also get HBO online in Sweden and Norway for example, but branded as HBO Nordic. So it's not only in the US, but for some reason they're not using the HBO GO branding outside the US.
I don't expect anything to work 100% of the time. I do expect a missile to fail in a way that wouldn't mean accidentally obliterating tens of thousands of people in the wrong country though.

I would also expect a politician to mention that failure mode is a possibility when politicians are considering spending £30b on renewing it.

I think the law is the problem. First, banks should not be held responsible for wrong doings by their customers. (think if hosting companies were responsible for the content their customers publish).

Second, the law gives them power without a recourse. This is because the law makes them responsible in case one of their customers were laundering money.
How can you construct your own “Library of Happiness”
I've been doing TV via iPlayer, (formally) piracy, and now Amazon Prime and Netflix for about five years now. I can't stand watching TV with adverts now, I find it almost impossible to follow a TV show when the story is being interrupted every 15 minutes to bombard me with adverts for things I don't want, so I just don't bother starting.
It makes me happy as a Norwegian living in the UK that the major Norwegian language series (Lillyhammer, Occupied, Nobel) are now available on Netflix in the UK.

I still hope they can go even further and offer globally their back catalogue of kids shows in Norwegian language currently only available in Netflix Norway. I noticed some UK shows are available with Norwegian subtitles but for the smallest it would be good to have the audio track as well.

This is probably all down to what ever rights agreements they have signed with the local publishers. And would apply to every countries catalogue and agreements, so not an easy negotiation.

If the purpose behind is is to get the government to force banks to responsibly handle money ... you forget it's the government that requires these rules in the first place. Barclays obviously carries the biggest part of the blame, but when consulting for a bank, we were constantly reminded that there are EU regulations stating that any transaction above 10.000 euros is to be automatically flagged and reported, and if such a transaction is "unusual" (yes that's what the government rule says), it is to be blocked, along with all other transactions on the account, until evidence is provided that the transaction was (a) legitimate (b) not made with the purpose of evading tax. Note that the owner of the blocked account needs to prove the tax department has no issues (for instance a letter stating no outstanding debts).

If Barclays is anything like my local banks, it sucks, but chances are they're not doing this just to spite their customers.

Since that job I carry 1000 euros in cash in my wallet, and never again shall I have a single bank account again. I managed to have a third account in a separate country last year under a not-identical name (if you're married in the EU chances are you have the right to use any combination of yours and your spouses names, including both of them with or without a dash in between).

I'm honestly unsure of how to understand your point here.
I'm trying to determine whether iOS apps could sniff my clipboard, and i haven't proven that they can't; it doesn't seem to be a specific permission that needs to be assigned or can be denied. And thus using 1Password on my iPhone to copy and paste passwords seems to have a bit of a risk to it.

I use Visual C++ 2013 at work and it is quite bad. It is just smarter text editor. There are only most basic refactoring features, even find all references is not reliable (it is text based search). You have to buy another extension to make it usable (Visual Assist or Resharper). Project files are a mess. There is vcxproj file to define build and vcxproj.filters file for directory structure view in VS (I do not understand a reason for this). vcxproj.filters is often broken by VS. It sometimes inserts duplicated lines for no reason if you add or remove some other file from project. Debugger is quite good but still I have some issues(you can't set hexadecimal format just for one variable, it is global option). Overall I have better experience with Eclipse CDT (more features) or Code::Blocks (almost same features but faster) than with VS without extensions. Resharper makes it good IDE but it cost additional money and also it is not fastest extension.

There are reasons for bad code navigation and missing refactoring features: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/09/25/rejuvenat...
Personally I'm actually against the UK having nuclear weapons - but I can't get too excited about this particular incident.

Missiles will go wrong, Trident actually has a fairly reasonable level of success and probably is far more reliable than equivalent weapons from other countries.

It's a political mess not a military/technical one.
I guess a part of this is inconsistency between development environments as well, but generally speaking, while not completely impossible, the dev user experience is just that bit more fiddly.

For a prod server, the process can be as simple as (Ubuntu/Apache being a common setup):

apt-get install letsencrypt && certbot --apache

Or more generally:

$PKGMGR install certbot && certbot certonly

For dev, you need to either select and install an SSL library, generate snakeoil certs and install them into each vhost you use, and thereafter go through every varying and occasionally unsurpassable browser warnings about unverified certs, OR - much, much more complex - install and maintain a boulder setup.

Given the above, most devs will continue to take the chrome://flags easy way out, which doesn't really allow proper testing of a HTTPS setup locally.
I am ok with that. It at least is somewhat relevant. And Im not really watching the screen yet, adjusting ear plugs etc.
Yours is cool, I like that you put yours into real life mockups. The whole point of my project was to put it into an app/GUI to make it easier for people who are less tech-savvy to use. That's a cool new idea. I'm currently already working on another project, but may create something similar to the drum machine after my next project.
Yes it does. The Libratus bot uses a conterfactual regret minimization algorithm variant of the CMUs teams' own design to calculate endgame strategy. The inputs to that algorithm explicitly takes into account previous player behavior.
Just want to mention Streisand here; it's an opensource project that helps you to "setup a new server running L2TP/IPsec, OpenConnect, OpenSSH, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks, sslh, Stunnel, a Tor bridge, and WireGuard. It also generates custom instructions for all of these services. At the end of the run you are given an HTML file with instructions that can be shared with friends, family members, and fellow activists".

> Basically, back in the Symbian/UIQ days, we worked on this and came up with a way to embed apps within another visually even though they were separate apps with separate permissions.

iOS added that in v6 with "remote view controllers", it's used to embed a JIT-ed Safari view inside arbitrary applications (without having to disable w^x for them)

- The prices doesnt factor in costs of me (or doesnt seem to) getting a ferry, train etc out of the UK
Without having any "hands on" (or off) with either of these devices - Can anyone tell me if there is any training data held locally on either of these or do all voice commands get sent to Amazon/Goolge for parsing centrally?
Their algorithms increase the usage of each car, reducing the cost per passenger mile. So Uber can cheaper than normal taxis.

My own self driving car is unlikely to be cheaper to buy than my manually driven car. But the self driving Uber will be significantly cheaper to run than one with a driver.

I can't wait til I no longer need my own car. Uber, and competitors, are the future.

Android has it as well - you either have the "Advertising ID" which behaves the same way as the iOS one (requires no permission on either OS) or ANDROID_ID (also requires no permission).

Both are reset with factory reset, but apps still for some reason demand tracking via IMEI.
I was an insider so I was jaded and biased. But ... :)

S60 was a horrid codebase and very hard to wrangle into modern things.

UIQ was a cleaner smaller codebase where the main big apps (e.g. messaging) didn't actually use the latest greatest parts of the framework. UIQ was always being dragged in opposing directions by its two big owners - Sony Ericsson and Motorola. Sony Ericsson had some success with their early P800 and just wanted to keep on iterating that with the P900 etc, whereas Motorola wanted smarter feature phones and features like keypad navigation. Neither wanted capacitive touch, despite UIQ suggesting it umpteen times.

The Symbian codebase was an antiquated C++ dialect. I happened to have liked it, and found it very expressive and powerful and simple, but there was definitely a learning curve.

When the iphone came along it was so simple and beautiful and had a capacitive screen and basically everything else was obsolete immediately.

Android was unreleased and actually had an extensional crisis at that point, but they quickly revamped it to be more iphone-like and launched.

At that point everyone else thought "android will be cheaper to develop!" and dropped Symbian just as quick as they could.

And I don't blame them.
I've never said SSL isn't important nor that I don't care about it.

My beef is how Google forces this change on everyone, but at the same time haven't the balls to shake things up and make SSL easily available for everyone.

Of course as there is a massive business out there selling empty air "certificates" which are jsu tnumbers on a database requiring next to no maintenance, for princely sums.

THAT is lame on Google.

But I guess this is the transition now that is going to be painful for lots of small sites / apps like me. I genuinely never heard this a year ago so they shoudl also have made a big announcement of this much sooner to give time to small guys like me to prepare.

As for the general security question. I understand the "insecure" aspect is mainly related to public networks, and indeed nowadays it's becoming increasingly coming to use public wifi networks on the go.

But some of reaction is also implicitly that using a good password was always a good measure before or after this change. Hence saying something is "insecure" outright is somewhat bullyish on Google's part. Of course it's insecure, so is using a car.

You're making lots of assumptions. My passwords are encrypted and "salted". My site properly handles input I'm not that dumb thank you very much. I like to question decisions like these. Just have to vent a bit I guess. Yes, it's a good thing, but I can't help to think it's still bullyish and a half hearted solution from Google.

In any case it looks like the first notice of this won't be as bad as I thought, it's a small "Not Secure" text... won't scare users too much while I move host and add SSL.
They were. American mobile phones didn't even have SMS.
Actually, I think learning to understand how these (complex) market forces come into play is exactly why Slava added the recommendation to religiously read The Economist at the very end of the article for maximum effect.
Maybe all those Note7s are already recycled, but couldn't they just release it again with good batteries?

Or would replacing the battery and re-distributing the phone cost more than just release a new phone?
Yeah, Wacom tablets were/are great and terrible at the same time. I've used them on and off for a long time, and they really are great for drawing, but there's a learning curve to be sure. Actually I liked the older Wacoms better than some new ones I've tries out. The ancient "cursor" device was mouse-like, but used in absolute mode was great for some tasks where keeping it in the same place enabled keeping the pointer on the screen in a predictable spot.

Actually the newer touch/stylus screens on tablets like the MS Surface models I've used are harder for me to use with the stylus. Manipulating the stylus is harder due to parallax and the fact that the tool and hand covers up part of the screen. Just doesn't seem as "natural" to me as the old drawing tablet.
So was this a design problem with the batteries or an engineering one? Or both? Did the fact that they tried to pack the battery as tightly in as possible contribute to those flaws?
If you want to watch ITV shows without the ads use the Scottish STV Player instead of ITV Hub (or whatever they call it now?).
