I'm sorry but you are factually wrong on it being an overreach by Apple.
Apple's terms expressly allow certain use of their Enterprise certificates by developers, everything else not stated in the T&Cs is forbidden. Facebook broke the conditions set out in the T&Cs by distributing the app outside of its employees (not covered by any of the exceptions).
Apple have every right to revoke the app and would be within their rights to terminate the developer full stop (but obviously that won't happen in this case). So this is pretty much the least they can do without doing nothing. And given how well facebook is digging their own hole with the number of privacy violations that are constantly coming to light, Apple definitely don't want to be anywhere near that train wreck.
Humming would be a derivative work and showing people links would be covered by the granting of the original license for publication. Copyright law is well established and works reasonably well (let's ignore businesses buying extensions to it).
There is no 'news' in this article, it's just how the law works currently to prevent theft.
There's a lot of crap in there, mis-characterisations etc. I mean the bit about having an education means you _just_ want to argue with those higher up is brilliant.
I bought a projector lamp from them (being sold by Amazon itself not a third party) and it overheated and melted the projector mirror. I sent the projector off to Optoma who examined everything and said the bulb was a counterfeit. Presented with this evidence Amazon said they believed their supplier that the bulb was genuine and refused to admit any liability.
They literally said the people that make the product were wrong. I've never bought from them since (5+ years and counting).
SLAs are what ensure companies can't do this to you. If you don't have an SLA with the cloud provider then you should probably run across multiple clouds and/or in-house infra.
Not so much for companies, although I have had one company do this to me about 15 years ago. It's unprofessional but it also told me I'd never have wanted to work for them anyway so it was obviously for the best.
Agents though, or as an ex-colleague used to call them 'weasels', have been doing this for a very long time. If it's at the beginning of a conversation I usually ignore it, if we've gone down the road a bit then they normally get the lifetime ban. There's plenty of other people out there recruiting.
Depends which lawyers you speak to I guess. How about this opinion from another employment lawyer:
Alan Lewis, employment partner at law firm Irwin Mitchell said the decision was not a "game changer" and that cases would continue to be argued on their specific facts and, for businesses that rely on self employed contracts, that means further uncertainty.
"This decision is not necessarily a win for 'gig economy' workers seeking to challenge their employment status."
Pimlico Plumbers does "not operate a gig model and the implications for Uber, City Sprint, Deliveroo etc may be limited, although the publicity around this case may encourage other 'self employed' contractors to challenge their legal status," added Mr Lewis.
My first line was reasonably frivolous, semi-sarcasm laced to present the idea of how Facebook approaches privacy in the second line (which had the barb in it).
Personally I really don't like the new keyboard, I still use my older 15 inch pro for work and love going back to that keyboard.
On the reliability front, I'm not sure what causes the failures (dust or otherwise) but mine failed within 3 months of buying it (which is about 5 months ago now). It was the spacebar that went on mine, it just stopped clicking every few taps. At the same time I had problems with the track pad too, conveniently they have to replace the whole top of the computer (including battery) to replace the keyboard since it's all glued together.
Given how slow Apple have been updating their hardware these last few years and the restrictions, I'm planning to go hackintosh until they get their act together again.
Because it's easy to win if the defendant admits it is?
Presumably then establishing a precedent that Google would then follow without doing their own determination because they are relying on the rule of law (i.e. the court's decision).
It doesn't tie to your Facebook account beyond a one-time import of your name and profile picture.
I'm curious as to how you think this isn't a permanent tie? As in, everything you now do on your work account can now be associated with your home account.
Actually I think it's time they were made legally responsible for their product's security.
Practically speaking they could never know about every single attack vector that could be dreamed up. But using making them (on pain of large, ongoing fines) use decent security protocols and decent, random default passwords would be a start.
I don't think you get to make a generalisation about a group of approaches to software development when you have never used them;)
Not having the need for them is perfectly valid though, if you're in that kind of situation then you're actually very lucky. Things like Waterfall can work and work well, the whole point though is that one size doesn't fit all. So whether you're Scrum or Waterfall it doesn't actually matter. Just like development tools, you use the best thing for the job.
I'd also say I have NEVER seen a business actually commit into any of the methodologies. That's why the phrase SCRUMBUT was coined. Nearly every non-technical business person I've met has the 'get back to me when it's done' attitude.
If you think it's waterfall with shorter iterations you may be missing the point.
I'd also say 'agile' covers many different methodologies so your generalisation isn't really applicable.

What tosh. Accessibility has nothing to do with whether the case has merit.
But it's more worrying that you believe facts should not be required in a court of law.

I know this from personal experience.
I bought a projector lamp from them (being sold by Amazon itself not a third party) and it overheated and melted the projector mirror. I sent the projector off to Optoma who examined everything and said the bulb was a counterfeit. Presented with this evidence Amazon said they believed their supplier that the bulb was genuine and refused to admit any liability.

Amazon don't care unless it costs them money.
SLAs are what ensure companies can't do this to you. If you don't have an SLA with the cloud provider then you should probably run across multiple clouds and/or in-house infra.

..that you never hear about 'bugs' that accidentally make people post privately instead of to everyone.
I can only presume it's because their default privacy mode is 'none' and the features that change that setting are the ones that are faulty.
Is that you again Scott?

Seems... sensible.
...they don't have Windows on them.

Also there's a good reason why the Playstation store shows PS3 content when you have a PS4, as otherwise the shelves would look rather bare.
So, cloud hosting is expensive versus standard hosting, you pay a premium for scalability. Simple as that.
in this case, akin to 'hefty' or 'beefy'
Surely there must be a law against helping people make false copyright claims against other people's work?
