Bullshit. It's ILLEGAL, period. Executive orders don't trump acts of congress, and acts of congress don't override the constitution. Every NSA minion involved in collecting this data without a warrant issued by a judge naming a specific person and stating what they're looking for and why, is a CRIMINAL.
How can you tell when you receive a lot of death threats whether any of them are credible?
I've had a dozen or so death threats over the years, and two of them have mentioned where I lived and/or worked at the time. Nobody's showed up to kill me yet.
"When all is said and done, a great deal more is said than done."
Placing and canceling orders with the objective of disrupting a competitor's business? Yeah, that's wrong. Lyft could easily adopt the countermeasure of charging for cancellations, and requiring a legit user to identify themselves to request a refund.
Confiscation is legal. When a pack of thugs in costumes takes your phone to keep you from exposing their crimes, they're stealing your phone, not confiscating it.
why not assign a small group of adepts to create and shepherd an App Store Guide...because there are millions of apps, and this would be a hell of a lot of effort just to piss off the majority of developers who won't receive preferential treatment.
But there are a number of customers who can't leave. Some are simply the poor who can't obtain the credit for the capital costs, others are people in poor solar/wind locations; and then there are the high density customers who simply can't obtain a sufficient amount of renewables from their property such as tall buildings and factories.
I would expect those customers to still be better off, because lowered demand for coal and oil will drop the prices of those fuels.
I'm not interested in another battery of wanna-be MENSA admission tests.
I never interviewed at Google, because I know several first-rate developers that got screened out by those hoop-jumping exercises. I have one friend there who asked me several times to apply, but he couldn't tell me what he was working on. Turned out his project was Google Earth. Might have been interesting to work on, but I think I did much better for myself and my career by going to Apple.
The charges were bullshit from the get-go, and they were filed because Amazon pays a hell of a lot more bribe money in Washington than Apple ever will. Steve would have fought this to the supreme court.

Bullshit. Limiting the supply of cars is just another way to prop up the taxi cartels.

"Fair share", my ass. The FAIR share is zero.

If the F35 is obsolete, all other aircraft in the world are also.
No, just all other fighter aircraft.
The F35 is a cold-war relic. A world war two P47 could do just a good a job at bouncing the rubble in a village in Afghanistan.

That happened at LinkedIn years ago.

you admit that Apple committed the crime,
He did no such thing.
Apple broke up Amazon's monopoly. Because they did so, authors no longer had to just take whatever Amazon was willing to let them have.
