You should read all about that and learn ya something.
Not really, even a little bit. Because, in TFA they state, quite clearly, why they do so. It is for consistency of load across platforms. Please try again.
I get a feeling that while they are including all app devs, the money generated was really only though a small group of devs producing handfull of apps. Would really be interested in what the average 'per development house' take was. As well as the earnings median.
I don't know why it would matter, I see my OP was labeled troll. But, I figure folks have two options. You can accept the response that Apple gave (regarding the phone jack and 'courage') or you can recognize it as BS. And troll everyone who sees the world in black and white. IE-He poked fun at a bad decision Apple made, so he must hate Apple, or not.
Truly though, Apple deserves to be trolled at every opportunity for telling consumers, in essence, that it doesn't matter what you want and you simply lack .
So, when Consumer Reports tells other consumers about something bad concerning an Apple product, I fully expect them to rely upon the same hubris that lead to the 'courage' remark.
At some point, the business will operate well enough that people doing the actual 'work' can leave without everything crashing. So that new people are simply cogs in the machine that is already running. Then the only important people are those 'leading' or 'managing' the additional generation of revenue. And the 'workers' matter less, as the machine will continue to 'work' with minimal effort. So those in upper positions are the only ones who can 'make' more wealth with the machine by strearing it this way or what. And it shows in those sorts of things.
I would have thought, if this were the case, that it would be the CEO donating their bonus pay. Not the employees creating the value in the company. But it appears that Google is now becoming more of an income generator for its management/Shareholders, and and less an innovator.
Issue with this: The presumption that product manufacturers can be held liable for how their products are used illegally. This idea is not new (see holding gun manufacturers liable for crimes committed with their products), and will not work.
If the rate of available organs isn't high enough to cover the rate of those in need. How does extending the life of those in need change that? Is that not just putting newer additions to the need list further behind while complicating the recovery of those with pig hearts?
I mean, its neat. I just don't see how it will help unless there are times where a viable heart is waiting for a patient, not the other way around. At lest then you might hope that an oversupply of donated hearts occurs and you could get one. Otherwise it seems kind of pointless.
I think you are correct. In a CYA world, you need proof of the most stringent testing and accuracy people will demand when something goes wrong. It is one of the reasons I think that some limits to medical liability would help lower costs, and improve access in the USA. I think people forget that doctors, nurses, and other associated professions are people. And that having anyone, no matter how well trained or educated, perform operations that involved cutting you open and probing around can and will go wrong. Because people, are human. For every scissor left in a patient, 1000 or more had no issues. But assigned that one guy multi-millions in a lawsuit effectively raises the costs for the other 1000 that had no trouble.
Of course, I suppose its easy to say that when you are one of the 1000, and not the one guy with scissors in your gut.
You are correct AC! Banks and CC companies found out that most people are lazy, ignorant, and stupid when it comes to the once force in the world they must interact with and the one that controls most of their lives. And they profit off of it! But you won't see many classes devoted to reversing this trend. "Life" skills like this are generally taught by parents. So the lack of knowledge on the subject is systemic and growing every generation! Poor folks don't know how to teach their kids to be 'rich', while rich parents pass on all the things they learned to their kids.
I never said to focus on math exclusively. Nor was that the implication of the article. Adding more focus on CS is pointless given the lack of 'life' math skills students leave High School with. Your argument makes more sense in the realm of higher education. You don't get to be Joe Star Programmer without knowing all that stuff. Besides, its Chicago, their greatest detriments to a student doing well post HS is probably going to be mostly Socioeconomic. You don't defeat that teaching them CS, you defeat it with teaching life skills.
...have your outside router start ignoring IP addresses that exceed some threshold of activity that is not a 'normal' level of activity for, oh say 90 mins? I have a edgeOS router. I could have sworn I saw a part where I could set rules based on an arbitrary number of attempted connections in a period of time.
They would focus on math more. In particular, they would focus on financial math. In this class, they would be taught why credit cards are not doing them any favors. How compound interest works, how to create a budget you will actually follow. How to estimate your expenses. What the local cost of living index is, and why they should look it up for an area they want to work in. What a ROI is, and if certain fields of education have, on average, a good ROI for the education they require.
That would help ensure they are competitive in the workplace.

Because knowing it works won't do anyone any favors. Know HOW it works might help - but will probably be out of the scope of any HS level class.
If everyone was willing to work for stupid low wages in a stupid high-cost area. Then they (The company) have no incentive to offer more money to attract good people. You do research on if it is beneficial to work in that location for those wages. If not, you don't accept that position. I don't blame her though. She was hoping to hit it big doing something she enjoys for a job. That is pretty commendable. But no one said doing what you love pays all your bills.

I didn't think 30mil was enough money to entice the expenditures of space exploration. Would have figured it would be too costly to do so.

Common, CR. You have to know what real courage is to understand and accept Apple products!

Let me tell you about my SSN, and PII being lost/exposed/incorrectly released by government employees. Multiple times, multiple agencies.

A vast difference exists between the reasons those things have a central authority and the reasons a currency would have one. They are not equitable.
Once a state backs up a currency with this 'full faith and credit' then it has value. That is something bitcoin lacks.

The FBI and Apple have already conspired, but Apple requested the theater over this to give the appearance of being a privacy advocate.
