The real problem is that HN doesn't annotate paywalled sites. 1/3 of the links I click I can't access. If I could filter by non-paywalled links I would agree with you
"We knew the Hansa servers were in Lithuania, so we sent an MLAT (mutual legal assistance treaty) request to Lithuania and requested if we could proceed with our planned actions in their country. They were very willing to help us in our investigations."
Okayy, this "very willing" part is going to deter me from hosting anything located in Lithuania any time soon
Every country has laws. If you want to evade investigations into drug trade and whatever else they were trading at AlphaBay and Hansa, you should go to a country where they're not illegal.
Hi, i would like to draw the attention of you, the people with more expertise than I to another app that at least for me is more terrifying Xiaomi Mi Fit (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiaomi.hm....), because it also takes all the intrusive permissions (modify system settings?!), but also takes all this info and combines it with your health data. Furthermore it is very hard to find it's privacy policy (I may have seen it once during registration in the app and it said "it's scattered around the terms and aggreements). This comment may be burried, but I hope at least someone, who's better in this than I will check it
Modify system settings permission is needed when your app needs to change network state. Previously using the Change Network State permission was enough, but since Android 6 it's no longer suffice. I imagine that app probably need to access the watch accessory over Bluetooth and need that permission to make the Bluetooth turn on automatically.
What's interesting is that back in May, EU parliament has approved the directive to use pnr data for intelligence purposes, meaning that every air carrier has to trnsfer this data to law enforcement agencies (http://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2016/...). Have i read too much Orvell or...?
Coupled with IP addresses from web bookings being on the PNR, and the likes of the new Investigatory Powers Bill in the UK, it won't be long before border control agents will be looking at your recent Internet history.
Blackberry android phones does this. They patch phones the same day google nexus is patched or even earlier for beta program users. Still no one is buying them
