> Either iOS is secure or it's not

This is flat out wrong. Security isn't binary.

Is it just me, or does every page on forestry.io take 4400+ milliseconds to load? I can't even use the website because it's so bad.

LogMeIn owns LastPass

Because you suffered, everyone in perpetuity must also suffer?

Women were barely allowed into workplaces in general within the last 50 years and are still fighting biases that have existed for millennia. Fixing the lack of women in tech is a multi-century process, not something that's just knocked out in as little as 15 years. We'd be lucky to start seeing the needle move in such a short amount of time.

You're arguing that Americans are fundamentally incompetent and unable to govern themselves.

It takes time on the order of months and years to build a coalition behind bills. During that time, a bill is considered, amended, and re-considered.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how government works if you think there "is no consideration."

Check out 1Password for 2FA management. It's extremely well done. When it auto-fills your user/password, it also puts your 2FA code into your clipboard so you can just paste it in on the next page.

Alternatively, and if the form supports it, you can use the share sheet on iOS to get 2FA auto fill from 1Password.

They're certainly not free from dying at school.

The vulnerability is solved pretty easily by doing your ownership checks _after_ you've opened (but not served) the file. At least, that's how I did it [1]. Despite our pleas and submitted patches, Apache wasn't interested in fixing it upstream.

I pay for RoboKiller and still get 7-10 calls per day that make it through. It’s not a panacea.

Why would Google ban apps for using Google's own business model?

It's in Google's interest to make using an ad blocker as painful as possible.

Do Project Zero's blog posts not focus on Google products purposefully, or is that just a perceived bias?

I understand and appreciate the work Project Zero does; it makes us all safer when these bugs are found, and fixed. It just seems like the only project zero blog posts that make the front page are aimed at Microsoft or Apple.

> if I had an app on the ".app" TLD I can now stop listening on port 80 altogether without as much worry that I'm breaking stuff.

Except the part where the `.app` domain is only "https-only" in Chrome.

They really did a good job with the mountain of evidence, too.

This isn’t a free speech issue. The government isn’t stopping anyone from speaking or thinking anything they want.

Freedom of speech != freedom to publish whatever wherever you want

The government exists for and by the people. Funny how fascists seem to forget this.

Or charging extra, per-page-view if the ISP felt like it, to visit FoxNews.com or NPR.org since they're not the ISP's preferred news networks.

THAT is the reality we're about to enter with this FCC change. Who gives a shit about Netflix being slower? Using that example to fight for Net Neutrality is a guaranteed way to lose.

As a long time iPhone user that swings Android every few years to try the waters, I am consistently blown away at the level of garbage Android users are expected to deal with on a regular basis.

Want to know how many times my iPhones have boot looped in the last nine years? Not once ever. My last Android (Nexus 6p) managed to do it several times in the 3-ish months I daily-drove it.

Want to know how long you can expect to get iOS updates with a new hardware purchase? 5+ years. Compared with the very best case for Android: 2 maybe?

How many times with an iPhone have I been expected to install a custom OS to get around a user-hostile feature like I saw about fifty times in the 1 billion outdated androids thread? Zero times.

It’s unreal.

I guess it's time to null route 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 on my networks.

Yeah, this feature was accidentally shown in the keynote.

> It is worrying they share this data with government agencies, marketing agencies etc

Facebook and Google are marketing/advertising agencies.

> Those all seem like pretty basic developer best practices to me.

Those are all bleeding edge developer best practices that didn't exist five years ago. Folks coming from matlab (an example I read above,) probably aren't in the industry and many likely don't even know docker exists OR why they would want to use it.

I have an iPhone, and a mac (two actually,) and an AppleTV, and an Apple Watch. There are a pair of beats headphones sitting next to me on the coffee table.

Somehow, I still manage to write free software that I care about, release it for free, and contribute to other FOSS projects. Caring about free software doesn't mean I have to use ONLY free software.

What you're doing with that argument is called gatekeeping http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Gatekeeping

> The best parallel I can draw is to the Napster era when pirating music cut off the head of the chicken in the industry.

I don't think this comparison holds up. Napster was a peer to peer network where publishers of the works being downloaded had no control over who was able to download what. By contrast, web publishers have extraordinarily fine grained control over distribution of their works.

For example, when I connect to nytimes.com to read some news, I politely ask the nytimes.com servers for access by saying:

  GET /some/article HTTP/1.1

The NYTimes, or literally ANY publisher on the web, have the option to say no right there for any reason. They are under zero obligation to give me access to content I'm requesting.

If publishers are upset about people reading their content without displaying ads, maybe they should stop giving it all away for free.

> Both sides are guilty of this,

This republican excuse for poor government is so tired. Further, from the third paragraph in the article:

> But during the Obama administration, the FCC determined repeatedly that broadband isn't reaching Americans fast enough, pointing in particular to lagging deployment in rural areas.

So no, it's not really both sides here. There is very clearly one side doing a shit job.

> an environment where one faces exclusion and persecution for simply having political beliefs that align with a large portion of their fellow U.S. citizens.

Can you elaborate on the persecution and exclusion you personally experienced from being an American conservative?

> The harm of Google’s biases

> I strongly believe in gender and racial diversity, and I think we should strive for more. However, to achieve a more equal gender and race representation, Google has created several discriminatory practices:

> * A high priority queue and special treatment for “diversity” candidates

> * Hiring practices which can effectively lower the bar for “diversity” candidates by decreasing the false negative rate

^ Isn't that exactly what the author is saying?

It's just not that hard to run a registrar. Even if the current one bites the dust, someone will pick it up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
