Because developing for the alternatives (Firefox OS and Ubuntu Touch) don't allow people to make a living.

That's seriously messed up. There are tons of adblockers on the Play Store, why has Disconnect Mobile been singled out?

BTW, I'm currently using Freedome which from what I understand is very similar to Disconnect Mobile

This is _exactly_ the kind of thing that only a player as heavy as Google can kickstart.

We need to "reset the net", encrypt everything possible, and Google's help is more then welcome.

Why? The crypto is just as strong with a self-signed cert as a "name brand" cert. The only downside is teaching users to ignore SSL errors, which is bad.

> available for less than 10 USD if you don't care about it's quality

A cert with a larger key is better than one with a smaller key, but other than that, what's the "quality" of a SSL certificate?

I'm glad they haven't added this creepy feature to Android yet

Apparently, it's just been open sourced but it's not a new project

Because it's open source, so it will be easier to audit, and probably because of the UI (Lastpass UI got a lot better in the latest releases, but still sucks).

AFAIK, the mobile apps only listen to the microphone when the app is open, not in the background

It's recently become really good at electronic music since they signed a deal with Beatport: http://news.beatport.com/blog/2013/02/06/beatport-x-shazam-a...

Slack has nice native clients for OS X, Android and iOS too.

Or worse, Coldfusion

You should regenerate the keys after updating because they might've been exposed.

What's up with the period instead of a space to separate words?

Yeah, but the stories may be much more uncommon not because it's safer, but because electronic fraud is much easier to conceal then physical fraud.

With unencrypted communication, any insecure Wifi network is enough to "leak" your information, it's much worse then "only" Google/NSA/etc having access to it.

I'm not so optimistic. If their intention was to open and publish the protocol and specs, they'd announce this intention and avoid (or at least minimize) this PR backlash.

Yes.

They've put together a FAQ about routing: https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2013/4/2/routing_and_web_pe...

Timing

> At Google, our Python style guide dictates 80 characters with 2 character indenting

The style guide you linked to says indents are 4 spaces. I sense the question of indent size hasn't been solved at Google yet :-) I find 2 to be too little, except for XML and HTML which are naturally indented many levels and there's no way to refactor into new functions or methods.

[Edit: added quote]

It's basically CPU + (disk) I/O + Wifi, but I think it would be a great feature. Android phones have battery usage monitor.

Not apples and oranges if the OP's business is design

Both my Mac and Android twitter clients are still logged in, and in the e-mail they said that session tickets had been invalidated...

Does anyone know if Python bindings are on their way?

It's pronounced "Cute": http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/16/that-smartphone-is-...

"pgrep Chrome|wc -l" gives me 54 right now with 2 windows open (29 tabs + 2 tabs)

Searching Github for assignments is pretty easy, but I wonder how they'd be able to detect duplicates other then when every source is 100% equal to another student's.

Android device's lifecycle is worse then iPhones: I replaced my (almost 2 years old) HTC Desire because it was stuck running Android 2.3.4 - thanks to Cyanogenmod, otherwise it would have an even older OS - which means security vulnerabilities like the recently found USSD "remote wipe by visiting a website" are exploitable.
