Apple cares about security, as long as there is no way to make money out of making you insecure.
The only real remedy for this is if Apple pushed out an IOS update that took away the ability for these hidden privileges to exist, but likely they won't because probably the main other user of them is Apple itself.
Separately, the
high cost of shipping is a substantial burden on the Island's productivity.
Puerto Rico is in a distinctive
situation with respect to the Jones Act because of its status as an island economy. One option could be
to seek a temporary exemption from the Jones Act, for instance for five years, in order both to evaluate
whether or not these restrictions really are a substantial cause of elevated shipping costs and to allow for
assessment of the costs and benefits of a permanent exemption.
So now you know which act I was referring to, how about commenting on its effect on the economy of PR?
The USA has created a situation where the cost of living on PR has been artificially increased, to benefit a few wealthy people, and ensuring that the brightest people can easily leave.
Do you really think that that's been good for the economy of the island?
Again, there wasn't a clear majority because of the boycott.
You don't call 97% a clear majority? Oh, you mean a majority of eligible voters? I'm sorry, but democracy does not work that way. You either vote, or your opinion doesn't count.
Using your argument, no recent US President had legitimacy, because less than 50% of the eligible voters voted for him.
In the case of Trump, less than 27% of eligible voters voted for him. Should he be ignored because of this?
You can't simply pretend that the Jones act doesn't exist and doesn't drastically raise prices on PR, which then has a knock-on effect on the whole island economy.
Why hasn't the US government responded to the request for statehood?
Did you fail to read the article? Or do you simply not know how the electricity market works in the UK?
Either way, I suggest that you don't bother posting when you don't have the facts at hand.
In this case, the installation is "subsidy free", which means that it must compete with other sources to sell electricity into the grid. You might also note that UK-produced nuclear power is heavily subsidized. https://www.ft.com/content/b8e...
Which is not the story the previous guy was telling.
You don't know that. The "previous guy" was describing an incident when surge pricing made a trip very expensive. There is no information on what caused the surge pricing: it could have been due to collusion.
In this case, it appears that Mr. Gates is talking about using CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the login screen, not to reset the PC.
The article is rather confused, because I don't think that IBM controlled what keys were on the keyboard layout when the use of CTRL-ALT-DEL for the login was introduced. But I may be wrong about this.
Depends on the terms of the tax deal. If the incentivized company and its entire workforce are declared tax-free from both income, property, and state sales taxes, then you could have a point.
Do you have a problem with reading comprehension?
My original post on this topic explained how this could work, and has worked in other deals: the state provides tax credits to the company which take account of the estimated tax payments (sales taxes, income taxes) of the employees.
So the employees still get to pay taxes, but the tax they pay effectively goes to their employer, not to the state.
Explain to me how that money is taken from the state budget
Simple.
Some, perhaps most of those people will move to that state to take those $50k jobs. When they come, they will have infrastructure needs. Their kids will need educating, etc.. All these add costs to the state, while there is no additional revenue from their employment.
Others will move from existing jobs within the state. The state will lose the revenue from the their state income and sales taxes.
You seem to be under the misapprehension that all or most of the people who take up these new jobs are currently residing in the state and are unemployed. That's an unreasonable assumption.
Having an extra billion dollars or so of annual payroll is a positive, no matter how you spin it.
Not if the state agrees to a tax credit/rebate that includes rebating the estimated sales and income taxes paid by the new employees. Such deals are not unheard of.
I think that T-Mobile recently started building out new infrastructure, using a lower frequency (600 MHz). This makes support of less dense areas cheaper. However, none of their current phones support it. https://newsroom.t-mobile.com/...

The title is either like saying:
"The world's oldest living person is alive"
or it's wrong, because Sputnik is older.
Or, to be pedantic, the moon is a satellite, and it's still in orbit.
We can all agree with the "more expensive" part of that claim. But "better"? I think that statistics suggest the opposite.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Amazon "hires" drivers to do deliveries in the same way Uber hires drivers. Their only concern is delivering their packages as quickly as possible.
There goes Apple's reputation for security.
I expect that there was money involved.

That's what a study by the Federal Reserve of NY thinks.

97% voting for statehood isn't clear?

Why hasn't the US government responded to the request for statehood?
1. They already voted for statehood.
2. Much of their fiscal problems can be attributed to the Jones act, which increases prices on the island.
The US has treated Puerto Rico shabbily.
You should not uncritically believe the NY Times:

Puerto Rico has been created in its current form by the USA.
Investigate the Jones Act and then come back and tell us how the USA has allowed free commerce to develop the economy there.
For your drone-watching pleasure
I wonder if this cable is a response to the revelations of NSA tapping cables.
Does this provide Microsoft and Facebook any more protection (legal or technical) against NSA tapping without warrants?
No, you didn't paraphrase him.
You took a quote and changed it to suit your own ideology.

Trump's Supreme Court will reverse this.

Don't forget that they have a talent deficit: they just lost their head of information security.

So you are saying that their backhaul into their cell towers is 45Mbps. That is, less than a single phone can achieve today?
I think you are talking out of your ass.
