You can obtain emergency stabilization treatment at a hospital and nothing more, this is paid for by other's insurance payments. Perhaps you live in some idyllic utopia cut off from the rest of the country. Maybe you don't require

It may already have. The question is is 725 LY far enough away that we don't blow up too?

It is likely extremely difficult to win such a suit based on challenging the terms of an agreement that you agreed to repeatedly. Every single change to the TOS for a developer account requires acceptance. I doubt there is any part of this

Not really. It's basic contract law versus some small game company lawyers (compared to Apple's). Also, putting out parody ads and making fun of the whole thing will get you zero points in any court. Even if a court accepts this a

The device may be yours but the App Store belongs to Apple. Can you walk into a Walmart and start selling your stuff?

They will lose as the TOS clearly indicates the rules and Epic agreed to them. This is basic contract law. Apple has a massive team of experienced lawyers.

Pull it is exactly what I would do. Apple gets a cut of the paid apps, but $0 from free apps who show ads. Take away getting a cut from the paid apps then free apps suddenly cost the developers money—no more free apps. Imagine going to Walm

Whats to stop someone from getting a verified account for someone and them selling it to the highest bidder? Should Twitter now require that an account no longer from the verified person/org be reverified?

Exactly right. This is not a story but blowing a quote out of context into something that it is not.

MacOS 1.0 in 1984 used handles in order to allow the heap to be coalesced more easily (although locked handles and regular pointers often created islands). Given the first Mac had 128K RAM and no MMU, it was highly necessary at the time.

Facebook is American company responsible for complying with directives from the US Government. If one doesn't trust the US, then one should not trust Facebook. How is this any different? The US is one of the Five Eyes countries. They r

Woz was an amazing genius as a young man and turned into a lovable character when older, but really hasn't done anything besides that since. Which is OK, lots of people peak when young (most mathematicians), but still those accomplishm

If they weren't serious about this claptrap it would be downright hilarious. "Clean" means nothing, other than "Approved by us" which of course can mean anything they want, including shutting down anything they disa

Much of the world operates like this, to soak you for as much money as possible before you give up and pay, even if they provide nothing actually useful or meaningful. It only looks reasonable from their perspective which is to maximize the

Uber is not a successful for-profit business in the long run as they make no profits; given free money to be able to subsidize what costs there are (and operating on the backs of people who make little themselves) can exist for a long time

The article is pretty obfuscated. They don't say what the SDK does or is called or how to learn more about it. Location data however is only available to the app if the user gives permission to collect it, which I presume happens becau

The bank that the landlord owes money to has the real problem, but they are backed by the Fed printing press. So in the end future generations have the real problem, dealing with the debt. But 40M homeless people is everyone's problem.

I still wonder about another radical idea: launching payloads (not people obviously) via a long ramp with some kind of magnetic accelerator and flinging them into orbit. I forget what this idea was called.
