“Buy, receive, or sell the personal information of 50,000 or more California residents”
If a business engages this type of activity, they need to have a scalable process for providing California residents with their data.
Describing a California law passed by a majority of voters as “idiotic hoops” is a miss.

RecyclerViews are only implemented in the support libraries, even for newer versions of Android. I haven't used Exoplayer personally but by reputation it does all of the hard media stuff for you.

From what I've gathered this totally depends on your market. Creating a paid app or an app targeting US University students? iOS first. Creating an ad supported app or targeting an international market? Android first or use a framework that supports compiling to both platforms.

Re:Wikimedia Foundation spending

Where I feel a lot of the animosity from the Wikipedia community stems from is that the people who have "cultivated expertise in governing" are actually Wikipedia volunteers, not WMF employees.
Re:Wikimedia Foundation spending
on Sunday May 07, 2017 @04:36PM (#14287512)
As a Wikipedia administrator (mostly inactive), this sentiment makes complete sense to me. The WMF seemingly spends the majority of its money on non-critical functions such as community outreach, local chapters, yearly conferences and other non-critical costs. Including a parade of highly paid, not very effective executives. One thing to keep in mind is the WMF != the Wikipedia community, it is very possible to truly support the Wikipedia mission without also supporting how the WMF is ran.

While you're right that a lot of FinTech applications do use fingerprinting, it is absolutely against the rules. It's rather annoying from a mobile security perspective but given the rampant abuse of persistent device identifiers on Android, I understand and appreciate Apple's stance here.
Re:Google Identity-Aware Proxy
on Thursday March 09, 2017 @07:51PM (#13835379)
The purpose of ascertaining device identity is to prevent someone who can't obtain legitimate Google issued hardware from using stolen user credentials. If you're already a Google employee you can just ask for more trusted hardware, so there would be little point in breaking that part of the security model.

For one, without Google Play Services you have no Play Store. Unless you're going to prevent users from installing apps entirely, there isn't really another safe way to obtain apps. Additionally Verify Apps, SafetyNet, Safe Browsing, etc. are all part of Google Play Services. You _really_ want Verify Apps.
