Samsung purportedly did an intensive engineering review of the design during the first recall and was unable to find the source of the issue, which lead them to incorrectly conclude that it must have been caused by a batch of bad batteries. I have to believe that the theories proposed in this article were well considered by Samsung during that review (if not during the design of the phone as well).
Theory sounds plausible but doesn't carry much weight without experiments that demonstrate the internal battery components actually making contact as a result of the factors they describe.
You're right, it's not a data security issue since this only affects whether someone can activate a wiped/stolen phone. However it is a physical security issue because the entire reason for implementing this anti-theft mechanism was to stop thieves from stabbing and shooting people for their expensive iPhones/Android devices.
If the lock can be bypassed by crashing the GUI logic that presents the lock then that must mean Apple implemented the lock as a simple flag that triggers a UI view controller, and that once the view controller is dismissed (either normally or by crashing it) the logic doesn't check the flag again thereafter. They should have instead implemented it as something that hashes a critical data structure with the unlock code so that the OS can't run without being unlocked.
There's no inefficiency in the market - prices are high because there is demand for housing at current prices. You can't lower prices by increasing demand, which is what throwing money at the situation will do.
Each user would have the phone situated on different surfaces with different resonances, which I presume would lead to different readings and waveforms. Sounds like a neat app but I wonder how useful the data is for actual scientific use.
Casey's vlogging of his problems may not be relatable but they're certainly entertaining which is why he has nearly 6M subscribers on his YouTube channel. This fits perfectly with CNN's focus on infotainment rather than news.
Hard to say for sure since Trump himself probably doesn't know but I found this quote interesting:
"Bruce Josten, the chief lobbyist at the United States Chamber of Commerce, said he had already been in communication with members of Mr. Trump's transition team, as the chamber pushes its priorities like securing approval for the Keystone Pipeline, the oil pipeline project blocked by the Obama administration, or reopening more federal lands to oil and gas exploration." ...
"The chamber already knows there are certain items Mr. Trump has said he will not support, like the current versions of trade deals with Asia or comprehensive changes in the nation's immigration laws, which the chamber pushed during Mr. Obama's tenure. But there are aspects of each of these plans, like increasing the number of visas for highly skilled foreign workers, that Mr. Josten said he expects Mr. Trump to endorse.
Who said anything about USA profits? Google ships their profits earned elsewhere to other countries, again to avoid taxation. Not saying Google is alone in that corporate behavior but it's absurd for Google to penalize small fry doing the same thing themselves.

I agree, good design practices carry a lot of weight. But theories voiced as conclusions without any empirical evidence don't.
Theory sounds plausible but doesn't carry much weight without experiments that demonstrate the internal battery components actually making contact as a result of the factors they describe.
Which ironically means a bias away from bullshit concepts like "tangibility bias" created by business consultants.

The logic encrypted by the lock could be limited something essential only for the GUI.
If the lock can be bypassed by crashing the GUI logic that presents the lock then that must mean Apple implemented the lock as a simple flag that triggers a UI view controller, and that once the view controller is dismissed (either normally or by crashing it) the logic doesn't check the flag again thereafter.

Regarding earthquakes there are tall buildings in lots of earthquake zones around the world.
I read to the end and his post-script about those factors seemed more speculation than anything.
That's a fair point. I did some searching and found that San Jose restricts building height, which limits density. Here's what I found:

When you consider that $18.5M buys maybe 5 single-family home sized lots in the area then it's hard to take the plan seriously.
Don't follow your reasoning. If someone puts cream in their coffee does that mean they like cream instead of coffee?
The reason they add sugar to chocolate is to make it palatable. Some grow to enjoy dark chocolate but most find its flavor abhorrent.
They don't have the engineering talent to catch up to Google's lead on maps or siri or anything else that doesn't involve making thinner phones.

Next up: wet dreams.

The same as tech companies sometimes acquire a company to get its engineers rather than its failed products.
