It seems like a reasonable metric. If someone only uses Photoshop and Photoshop doesn't work on a given OS, the OS is probably useless to that person. It might still be fine for other people who don't care quite so much about Photoshop.

In my case it's a large number of apps that all use the same broken API because they are made from the same framework.

The only way it would make sense is to use an android fork without app store as a way of making cheap feature phones. They could then upsell people to windows phone and create a market perception that android is inferior.

It doesn't make sense however, as the hardware needed to run android well outstrips that needed to run windows phone well. It would make more sense to make a stripped down windows phone. So, i see no way this plan survives the acquisition.
Decreasing inequality between nations is surely a good thing. However, the increasing inequality inside nations is dangerous not just because of a sense of injustice - concentrated wealth implies concentrated power, and concentrated power tends to be at odds with a democratic model.

Also, China may have brought a lot of people out of poverty but they're doing so partially by sacrificing the health and in effect lives of hundred of millions of citizens with pollution way off the safety scale.

> I think this damages the Android brand.

In my opinion, it strengthens it. This is precisely why I love Android and not iOS or Windows Phone. Android being open-source, means forks are possible. It also means that if Google's stewardship goes awfully awry, then a community or some company can take over their leadership, so Google has to play a lot nicer than other companies, as the lock-in they achieved is weaker.

Amazon forking Android is a great thing. People don't view Amazon's devices as being Androids (except us). It also enabled them to deliver cool devices for cheap in a small amount of time. If it weren't for Android, Amazon would've had to come up with their own proprietary OS, completely incompatible with everything else. Who wouldn't prefer a forked Android, rather than yet another half-baked proprietary OS? Amazon forking Android is THE proof that Android is an open platform, because that's what openness allows one to do.

And the way that Google has been consolidating functionality into Play Services makes me question their stewardship of the platform. Android has been advertised and sold as an open platform. In my country, I remember commercials for Android phones mentioning the word "open-source". My freakin taxi driver asked me about it.

Android has been sold to everybody as being an open platform, from day 1. Openness is a doubly-edged sword, but on the whole I think it's worth it. If you don't like it, then you can take your pick from the competition.

> Samsung is making most of the profits from Android

So what's the problem? They make most of the profits because (a) they are big and have a big distribution network and (b) they have been making the best Androids.

For both customers and developers, it's actually irrelevant whom gets the most profits. People used to say that Apple makes more profits than the whole Android industry combined, therefore Android is not relevant. But it doesn't matter, because (a) the pie is freakishly big and growing and you don't have to be number one and (b) things change fast, especially because phones have a short life, much shorter than PCs.

> Maybe they should do Plan B with Ubuntu Touch and/or Firefox OS

It's important to note that the Supreme Court has thrown the ball in the Government's court. They have said that they need to uphold the Constitutional section until it's there. If the section is repealed it can be done away with.

On the other hand, the Supreme court has the authority to stay such sections which affect fundamental human rights.

This is all objective stuff.

My opinion is that the Supreme Court effectively avoided the issue and put the onus on the government. In simpler terms, I feel the Supreme Court didn't have the balls to strike down the Section 377.

> I'd rather draw parallel to Ancient Rome and its citizens. As long as there were "Games" in town and bread for free nobody cared. Once the Rome was on fire they woke up. For some time.

This is not why the Roman empire collapsed. In fact the term "collapse" itself implies some weird sudden event, rather then a gradual evolution over the course of hundreds of years into the various entities which became the forerunners of nation-states today.

The Byzantine empire - east Rome - has no definitive end, for example.
A PRNG must be seeded. CSPRNGs are no different, right?

In a normal PRNG, if you want X different possible outputs, you must be able to seed it with at least X different seeds. Since each seed corresponds to an output sequence, you need at least as many values for a seed as you wish output sequences. Of course, this seed should be random, and you can't really use a PRNG to seed a PRNG.

How do CSPRNGs get around this? I assume that if I have a CSPRNG, I must seed it, and that I must draw that seed from a pool of seeds at least as big as the desired set of output streams. (See above.) If my intent is to generate 4096 random bits (say, for an encryption seed), to me it seems I must input a random seed at least that long. Thus, I need a good RNG.

Take a look at Wikipedia's definition[1], for example, of what a CSPRNG must do (as opposed to just any old PRNG):

• Every CSPRNG should satisfy the next-bit test.

• Every CSPRNG should withstand "state compromise extensions". In the event that part or all of its state has been revealed (or guessed correctly), it should be impossible to reconstruct the stream of random numbers prior to the revelation. Additionally, if there is an entropy input while running, it should be infeasible to use knowledge of the input's state to predict future conditions of the CSPRNG state.

Let's assume our CSPRNG of choice satisfies that. The problem is that second one only applies to "preceeding bits". If I know the state of the CSPRNG, I can predict future output. If Linux is low on entropy, or runs out, does this not diminish the number of possible inputs or seeds to the CSPRNG, allowing me to guess, or narrow down my guesses, to the state/seed of the CSPRNG, perhaps prior to it generating output?

Am I going wrong somewhere?

Your last point speaks to Bond's intent, which makes this an interesting narrative, but she was not charged with attempted murder.

Bond was charged with possessing, transporting, and spreading the chemicals, which have been classified as toxic (along with vinegar and chocolate). This is because the state police and prosecutor exercised prosecutorial discretion by not charging Bond, and the federal government has no jurisdiction over one person "trying to poison another".

edit: though intent is unimportant, it has been alleged that Mrs. Bond caused a rash on the victim, which is relevant, because this would be evidence of "harmful effects on plants or animals".

> I think this damages the Android brand.

I think Google and others are doing a pretty good job on this without Nokia's help. With all the different versions of Android, different hardware specs and the lack of updates to current phones, it's PITA to create an app which works reasonably well on most of the devices.

And because of that, Android starting to look more and more as the new Symbian.

It might have to be as convoluted as X -> unsullied foreign corp. Y -> Z to launder the relationship but I bet it's possible.

Arguably, you might want to exclude the BTS and website from the tipping system (or give them a separate pool to draw from), if you're trying to encourage code contributions. Not that website changes aren't valuable, but it's far too easy to make a dozen commits to the website as a natural part of cleaning it up and working on it, especially given the way wikis allow live edits of only a single page at a time.

Could tip4commit support configuring a single repository to treat commits differently based on what paths they change?

As an aside, if you added a full name to ikiwiki's Preferences, couldn't you construct proper commit authors using full name and email for anyone who supplied them?
Look at some of the most visited websites; google.com, Facebook.com, twitter.com, yahoo.com… Those are not "good domains". Prior to the ascension of the web, they weren't even words in most people's lexicon. If there's anything we can learn from the web, it's that "a good domain" is not a big factor in the success of a product. Consequently, increasing the price would only restrict the number of websites; it would not increase quality.
