Classic debate about whether being stupid or incompetent is the same as having ill intent. We're still the ones being hit by a bus.

- voakbasda 5y agoI think Apple is neither stupid nor incompetent, leaving the third option: they made a choice to do harm, if only by choosing to do nothing.
- otterley 5y agoThere’s no evidence that they chose to do nothing. Again, they are probably working on it right now and we should not be surprised to see a backported fix in the coming weeks. There is already a long history of them doing just this; why do you think this time it’s different?
- otterley 5y agoThere’s no debate, unless you truly believe that intent should play no role whatsoever in how we judge actions, in which case, you disagree with the vast majority of post-Enlightenment society. I don’t think you would like living in a world in which strict liability made every mistake a criminal act.
