Author here. Garbage! I hope not. I think you misunderstood my intentions when I explained the complexity of Apple Pay. It wasn’t to discourage complex systems, but to highlight the immense and necessary complexity for these systems. I never meant to imply that complexity is a bad thing, and instead said that true complexity must lie somewhere. And to answer your question, if given a choice between a life support machine that connects to systems in-hospital, compared to one that requires a constant connection to China, I would choose the locally managed one.
