Claiming the US is a third world country may make Europeans feel better about their place in the world but it has fuck all to do with reality.

If a manufacturer is putting out virtually disposable electronics they should be on the hook for recycling them. Electronics are a horror show of toxic waste and that cost should be born by the source. 7" Android tablets go for as little as $30 on eBay.

Google invests significant effort into making iOS apps because they make more money from them than they do from Android.

This has nothing to do with exceptions for a pretty face. If you cede the high ground then you are worse than nothing in terms of helping your cause, as has been born out through history over and over.

There should be a law that manufacturers have to take back their cheap tablets and phones for recycling so they don't end up a toxic pile in a landfill.

It makes me very angry that this known scumbag tries to associate himself with a true hero like Aaron Swartz, so in my opinion he is getting what he deserves, regardless of drug law incarcerations.

That is wishful thinking, the US dominates the internet now more than ever.

From the article you linked to:

> The attack didn’t defeat Apple's sandboxing technology otherwise they would have earned a lot more.

Also Google makes more money from iOS than Android.

Thank you raquo that worked like a charm. We now have them dead to rights. I will do a write up for HN at some point when everything is resolved. Simple and effective solution, thanks again.

Well that is a pretty tepid imperialism. If a country isn't willing to put their money where their mouth is then maybe they should be quiet.

Ask HN: Rule of thumb for identfying fake web traffic

einehexe — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:16:59 +0000

We suspect that our marketing firm is generating fake web traffic. This is mostly a gut feeling from watching past traffic but we need proof. Our privacy page is suddenly very popular and people hang out on the video page without watching any videos. Is there a good way to tell if it is a bot from the server logs? Any input would be appreciated.

New comment by einehexe in "NSA's Surveillance Powers Extend Far Beyond Counterterrorism"

einehexe — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 20:06:10 +0000

This is a classic strawman that the EFF sets up to easily knock down. No one in their right mind thinks that the sole purpose of the NSA is terrorism. All American interests are to be looked after. The NSA unilaterily disarming would be a dream come true to many, mostly those who would like to see the West decline.

I am sure you would prefer to have all their FB data but you will lose a lot of potential customers if you demand they use FB.
