The benefit to you of Apple is their driving forward of technology, bringing you new stuff every six months, and not their profits, which you eye covetously to blow on things you spent five years ago, debt-wise.
You gave them those profits by buying their wonderful innovations.
"Secure" in the sense that only Microsoft or the US Government (or China or Russia) can see what you're doing.
It's sad. In 1789, the Founding Fathers went to great lengths to make sure the government could not do these things without a warrant. Yet here we are.
And even if they get a warrant, China and Russia won't, and their citizens will get the joy of living the 1984 dream of not just imagining, but having a boot stamping on their face...forever. All so our prosecutors can get a few more (and we mean very, very few as a percentage) notches in their belt for mundane criminality.
Alternatively, if there wasn't so much environmentalism getting in the way of industry, our economy might have been stronger, and technology might have been 10 or 20% ahead of where it is now, yielding a better world than current or with unrestricted environmentalism.
But these are forbidden thoughts that must be hidden from the debate.
Thank god the Dutch have no living experience with a mass-murdering dictatorship that would abuse such power to maintain its power, and the last time they did was so distantly remote in the past that they can so rest assured of it never happening again that they can hand over such power for prosaic crimes and never fear a loss of freedom again!
I don't remember too much preachy, but I do remember a single twist ending lead into by a half an hour (or more) of mediocre dialog being somewhat common.
Science fiction is usually about the new technology of the day and the fears it brings. It's no wonder Black Mirror finds loads of subject matter regarding omnipresent Internet and social contact.
The Bitcoin operation must pay for its own electricity or there is no point. They are just piping the excess heat they generate anyway around the house.
Presumably it just stayed in their house anyway, making that room warm and then escaping through the roof or walls, without much benefitting other rooms.
They only prefer it in countries where big brother puts a hand on their shoulder and squeezes while they answer the question.
There's a reason they're lining up to get the holy hell out of such countries. Now it's fun to imagine the US is the evil in the world, if you are 14 years old and living in mom's basement, or are on the dole from the Russians, but that's not how people stuck in dictatorships feel. You know, those who actually have to live under the rules you do not.
The United States has banned expansion of the Old World into the New World going on two hundred years now. Canada, a tiny New World country, is a beneficiary of this.
Iirc, Bill Clinton tried to introduce an ID for people to get on the Internet. It won't fly anymore because it's a speech platform and you have a constitutional right to speak anonymously, and the government tracks traffic anyway, so can get all the "who is talking to who" info they actually want.
Which is one of the things the Founding Fathers were scared of -- those in power having the power, without a warrant, to feel out networks of people talking. It is one of the tools of tyranny that should be forbidden government, or gated behind a warrant requirement.
We in the US are too quick to sacrifice freedom on the ability of government to spy on the Internet sans warrant, to solve a few crimes. These handsful of notches on prosecutor belts comes at the hands of the same ability being used by Russia and China and the mid east and other dictatorships to keep billions in permanent subjugation.
But our prosecutors caught a few crooks! To hell with those billions!
Insofar as he understands anything, he knows the desires of political hacks who will use this for massive control of the economy so they can get huge kickbacks to ease off a bit.
Follow the money.
We should no more be throwing brakes on the economy than people in 1900 should have to "help" us today...leaving us with 1970 level tech (if that) in 2017.
I was certain Trump was trying to seize defeat for tbe Republicans from the jaws of victory from any otber candidate. The only reason it was so close was because Trump was an ass. In other words, they almost lost because of him,and would have more handily won without. He didn't save them, rather almost the opposite.
If fat, don't eat the apple, or replace the six pizza slices with it.
If not fat, eat it all or skip the peel but you probably will statistically lop more time off your life accidentally cutting yourself while peeling and dying of infection than from pesticide residue.

Separating them via computer and robot seems like a job awaiting someone.
Is this why the Slashdot dragbar for hiding comments below a certain upvote doesn't work on my phone or tablet?
If so, get with the picture and fix it...Slashdot!

Nobody says a few things aren't needed, so claiming the uncounted trillions in bloat are like a fire department cost is facetious.

I was a terrible manager but I quickly learned who was productive and who was not.
When you sit there at your desk doing nothing, you think you are getting away with something, but you are not.

Insofar as yet another gremlin-on-a-wing story or a kid who rivals Q for power, it will be a reboot. Retelling, I suppose.

Or the Twilight Zone parody on SNL: "We can make you squirm." (Puts ball of tinfoil in his mouth and chews it.)

A book written 20 years ago explains it.

Seriously, though. His followers and other True Believers in religion who liked him need to know his sordid details.

The only extremists are those in power looking to control everybody so they remain in power.

We can even use it in a sentence! e.g. Masturbating all the time kills one's desire to get out of the house and talk to girls.

Back then it was covered in lush forests and giant mammals.

Here's a decision tree.
If fat, don't eat the apple, or replace the six pizza slices with it.
If not fat, eat it all or skip the peel but you probably will statistically lop more time off your life accidentally cutting yourself while peeling and dying of infection than from pesticide residue.
If starving, eat it all.
