I take it then that when you write a program if someone pays you less than it cost you in time to write it you consider that this must mean the program is highly desirable. And if they pay you more then it must not be a very desirable program? The fact that apple can make products people will pay a premium for is an indication of their desirability.
It's not overpaying if you value what you get. Is it overpaying to get your calories from any other source than generic branded Macaroni and cheese? After all calories are calories, anything else is paying for style. Intelligent people recognize this?
Why would you buy a $2.75 coffee, when a 30-count box on Ali-express no-doze tablets costs the same and does the same thing?
why do you buy cotton underwear when you could just go commando or stuff newspapers down your shorts?
A phone is probably the thing you are on more contact with daily that any other object. Why would you want to waste your time and life on an inferior experience for something that will consume double digit percentages of your waking living hours???
You have your priorities messed up. measured in terms of time spent, an iphone is one of the cheapest luxuries in the world. Nearly everyone reading slashdot earns enough to afford one anything else said beyond that is just trying to cast a personal prejudice as something else.
Fortune Mag remarks " the iPhone X alone generated five [actually 6] times more profit in the fourth quarter than all of the profits generated from more than 600 Android device vendors " citing Counterpoint Research analysts:
"Apple remained the most profitable brand, capturing 86% of the total handset market profits... Global handset profits declined 1% [compared to same time previous year], but Apple grew 1% YoY even with the iPhone X being available for only two months in Q4 2017."
Even 3 year old iphones outsold nearly all other handsets.
"Additionally, the longer shelf life of all iPhones ensured that Apple still has eight out of top ten smartphones, including its three-year-old models, generating the most profits compared to current competing smartphones from other OEMs".
While reports have remarked on diminished Apple supply chain orders for iPhone X, suggesting a failed launch, in fact "The iPhone X alone generated 21% of total industry revenue and 35% of total industry profits during the quarter."
every language is parsable. Parsing rule sets can be written out in YACC. the rules tend to be incredibly simple and simply use recursion for deep nested cases. As a result it's not a terribly hard task to decide if a small fragment could be expanded to legal code or if it's not legal code.
Perls use of sigils actually is actually there to improve both to simplify parsing as well as to make it human readable. Yeah yeah... human readable jokes about perl. Ha Ha. But really you can look at perl and tell what catergory a variable is from the sigils-- it's actually giving you information. And as result constrains the parse.
There's realtively few instances where mixed capitals, symbols and numbers are valid syntax. yes there are, but few. sounds like we just made it easy to spot thepassword.
Foxcon may have it's headquarters in Taiwan but it manufactures and ships from PRC. So China has control of Foxcon exports and it's just gravy if Taiwan is forced to align itself with china against the US.
As crude as you put it, you put your finger on it. (so to speak). Seems like three alternatives might be possible 1. this is could be the day when china forks android, bases it on red star linux, and comes out with an embedded ChinaOS ending the Alphabet hegemony.
2. NVidia fills the gap. Less likely, Tizen or firefox.
3. ZTE just sells it's assets to a buyer, either an existing cell maker or to a start-up. and then continues making phones. only thing that dies is the corporate name.
Daisy, Daisy, Give me your answer do. I'm half crazy, All for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage But you'll look sweet upon the seat Of a bicycle built for two.

It's just past the intersection where the old blinking light used to be. When you get to the bottom of the hill it's the one that's falling apart next door to the hideous purple painted house. You should see the crack dealer lookouts hanging out on the corner. You have arrived at your destination.
I get a salary. traditionally the distinction between wages and salary work is that in salary work you are paid to get an ever evolving job done on time, and wages is by the hour not the deadline. THat's why salaried workers don't get overtime. While I do fill out a time card it's not how my performance is judged.
So technically, I have as much time off as I want as long as I meet expectations. But of course meeting expectations requires me to show up for work when everyone else is there too, so hours do matter.
Google is also being sued under the same illinois law. Apple is not. Presumably this is because with apple it's you that is doing it to your own photos So it's you that would be culpable for gathering biometrics without consent
I wonder if this means you cant do any facial recognition research in Illinois? Sure there are face data banks but how do you know they are legal in Illinois.
I think they stole the plot from Saw 19. Isn't that the one where Saw encrypts 2 people's files and offers to decrypt them for the first one to saw off their pinky?
There is a possible silver lining here. If we can 1) consolidate bit coin mining, 2) have them use power plant scale amounts of power, then we have a new resource which is concentrated waste heat. Bit coin gives off waste heat but when distributed no center may be large enough to make practical recovery valuable. But if a whole power plant is devoted to this then a new scale may be emerging. They need to think about how to co-locate thermal power intensive industries. Some things like smelting iron probably require even more thermal concentration than possible. But things like baking bread or raising shrimp or some chemical industry activities might need lots of low level heat. Perhaps, in a nice ironic cycle, one could power CO2 sequestration using the waste heat.
It's one thing to repair with non-OEM parts. It's another to use COunterfeit screens that claim to be apple screens. Let's not make this about a something other than what it is. Headline seems to mislead
Doesn't really work well to do that. looking at the source takes a long time to find the place in a page long div element that might possibly be the image and there's no way I see to save it when you find that other than copying it into a new windlow and loading it.
Perhaps we should call the data you upload the exposed tip of the databerg with the hidden secret file on you below the waterline shredding your watertight compartments.
They seem to use javascript to disable the menu elements of the right click. I'm not sure how they do that but you can't just right click and save the image.
As we just learned from Zuckerberg, the term "your data" is facebooks way of saying that while you can have a copy of the data you uploaded you cannot see the permanent record of data they collected on you.
As for instagram I beleive they actually save the electrons that were used to send the data to them. This way when you request access to your data, then can send them back to you. So you really are getting back your data not a copy.

If I were doing it I'd have the AI discriminate what regexes will extract passwords most efficiently.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.
and if it becomes self-aware regex then they have three problems, two of which don't matter anymore

I suppose china might reply in kind.
1. Stop allowing exports of parts from foxcon to the USA.
2. End export of computer components to any company that sells to google unless they open source their entire OS.
that would tank the US stock market.
Food fight!

Is this the difference between doing it on the server: facebook, google, and on your own computer iTunes?

Even better FINAL.
