I'd love to see it coming, at least like another supported standard in computers.

While I agree with most of your points, it's still GOOGLE's decision who should be part of them. We are all doing this - selecting our favorite shops, favorite vendors, favorite places, and we are OK with it. Why business can not choose the similar?

The company _offers_ a position to some _applicants_, and it's the company decision who should get this position. If they want young people, male, thin, or white, I think it should be just announced, to not waste other people time.
We all have some expectations about the employees on particular job position. People working with other people (like salesmen, waitress, stewards, etc) should have some specific features, and it's widely accepted. Why we cannot accept limitations for other job positions as well?
A Large Number of Top Free VPN Apps Either Have Chinese Ownership or Are Based in China (hackernoon.com) 92
William Chalk, reporting for HackerNoon: After big names like Whatsapp, Snapchat, and Facebook, VPNs are the most searched-for applications in the world. "VPN" is the second-highest non-branded search term behind "games", and free apps completely dominate the search results. The most popular applications have amassed hundreds of millions of installs between them worldwide, yet there seems to be very little attention paid to the companies behind them, and very little scrutiny done on behalf of the marketplaces hosting them. We investigated the top free VPN apps in the App Store and Google Play Store. We found that very few of these hugely popular apps do anywhere near enough to deserve the trust of those looking to protect their privacy online. We recorded the top 20 free apps in the search results for "VPN" in the App and Play Store for UK and US locales. In total, these applications have been downloaded 80 million times from Google and 4 million times each month from Apple. Our investigation discovered that over half of the top free VPN apps either have Chinese ownership or are actually based in China, which has aggressively clamped down on VPN services in recent years and maintains an iron grip on the internet within its borders. Furthermore, we found the majority of these apps have insufficient formal privacy protections and non-existent user support.
Comment compare the speed on different ports. (Score 1) 203
Please note, the OP asks for the ways that can be accepted as a legal means.
I would set up some host on the internet with public IP, and set the pack of speedtests (for instance using iperf) using different TCP/UDP ports. If the tests will show some significant differences on the ports used by P2P, than for ports 80/443 for example, this could be accepted as a proof, I suppose.

Submission + - Online multiplayer games on TI calculators? (cemetech.net)
Anonymous Coward writes: "A calculator enthusiastic has managed to allow TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus graphing calculators to connect to the Internet with the help of an Arduino board. It is called Global CALCnet 2.2 and there is already a chat program demonstrating it. Multi-player games for gCn such as a Scorched-Earth clone are currently in the works. Maybe in the near future we will be playing some variant of Ztetris against our friend on the other side of the world?"
Submission + - 172 doomed BBC sites saved by one geek, for $3.99 (thenextweb.com)
revealingheart writes: The BBC is set to close down 200 of its websites in the near future as part of cost-cutting measures. Hearing that 172 of these sites would be deleted from the Web entirely, an anonymous individual has taken matters into his or her own hands.
The result is a BitTorrent file that anyone can download to store a backup of these “lost” websites forever. The cost of the project? Apparently no more that $3.99 for a VPS server to crawl and retrieve all the sites.

Submission + - Pirated app sold on Mac App Store (wolfire.com)
iDuck writes: When Wolfire Games released their animal martial arts games, 'Lugaru HD', on the Mac App store, shortly after they could be forgiven for thinking they were seeing double. A counterfeit version of the software is currently available on the app store at a much lower price point under the name 'Lugaru'. The best bit: as yet Apple have not responded to Wolfire's emails to rectify the situation. Whilst the source to the game was GPLed, "the license made it very clear that the authors retained all rights to the assets, characters, and everything else aside from the code itself".
