Wasn't this the problem? That the kernel was drawing too much voltage from the battery, or something like that I read.

Problem with Android is the amount of devices that will never get updates.

How many devices are there in the wild that have yet to be patched against stagefright? I bet it's over 50%

I don't feel like typing much because it's nap time but IRCv3 is an almost closed group of friends, mostly znc core developers, who have decided they can choose what the future of IRC looks like.

They have put lots of pressure on and harassed other developers of clients and networks, sending them patches and infiltrating their devs if necessary, so their ideas are actually implemented.

If you complain about those ideas and specs, they'll tell you to refer to their github issue tracker, but they mostly ignore those who are not part of that core group I mentioned.

There are boards and boards. And even in the worst boards there are good threads. It's a culture of its own, though.

You mean, remove opacity from the body...

Such a great idea, though.

I don't speak English natively, and any corrections are welcome. On the other hand I don't run a multi-million business based on writing comments on Hacker News so currently hiring a PR person to proofread these comments is not within the boundaries of my budget.

WoSign runs a business that is basically based on trust, and Nigerian scammers have sent me PDFs that looked far more convincing and trustable than that one WoSign posted.

So much money they are making and they can't hire anybody who can write English properly or write a PDF that is not composed of a handful of font faces and sizes.

I also find it funny they have fired the CEO (the PDF does not say he stepped down voluntarily) but he's the one sending that link to the mailing list. I call bs.

Are we future obsessed? I am not.

I thought he said "Spanish" meaning "a local source", not "a source in a language other than English"

That's not Spanish, that's from Ecuador.

If the government had to subsidise them, I bet they'd make sure the prices were reasonable.
