We don't want to be human-dependent for designing, producing, selling and delivering stuff.
We don't want to be human-dependent for stuff to be sold/bought.
And in the end we don't need to be human-dependent for company profits.
Lay all humans all the way off and replace them with robots. That's it.

In C you always know where the pitfall is. Or at least you have chances to really know.

C++ fails in separating interface and implementation. Then you need to exactly know the interfaces by including the header. So you lock yourself to it. Objective C solves this with messages.

Well, "Learned" is absolutely a cute name for a professor.

Besides that, I just noticed that it's a 6+ years old article.

Between a real entrepreneur and a person with "just" a good idea.
You actually need to be both in order to sicceed!

This type of cases falls in the "stupidity" category. That also means that the case has never been reviewd and tested. Double stupidity.

A single key mistake from a programmer (not a user, be warned) that can delete a whole lot of data needs a specific function to be coded.
Cannot be a mistake. It's intentional. Intentional stupidity at least.
On the other side a single key error from a user is different. But still, a function that wipes data, all of them, with a single key(press) should require no less than a second key for confirmation.
My personal diagnosis:
- 95% The report is totaly nonsense trying to move responsibility on someone else.
- 5% That was a reall single key mistake

I think they also collect video from the camera when present (why not?) and I also think they will use the same "technology" to send it back home.
Is that encrypted? And, more important, is it allowed by law???

Correct, mate, indeed. A tracker won't give you incoming traffic (unless it's also a relay).
Provided that you have the IP pf your peers, you still need to ask them for those files. This boils down to be either able to connect to him.
HDT has one disadvantage: if your upstream firewall bocks your incoming traffic, then you are out witouht relays. Even if you don't need trackers.

The real problem with P2P in general is that you need incoming connections. This is why you need trackers. They have incoming connections.

Or better trying to hide it?

Tizen could replace Android within Samsung products.
It needs to be better from both the users' perspective and from Samsung's.
In my opinion that should be a "native code" system, not a Javascript one.
Native code needs fewer computing resources and thus less energy.

Can you trust the factory installed software?
Can you trust the modded ROM you want to install?
Why should it be different with the rooting tool, the modded recovery or any other thing?
Which ever pill you'll take, you won't ever know!
Welcome in the real world!
