Like any business Apple needs growth to satisfy the shareholders. New growth would come from India and China. Apple didn't leave China and neither it will leave India. India can and will survive without Apple. Though having it in the c

Backward incompatible change means there is cost associated. It is like changing your furniture every 6 months. New furniture is fun, but unless your needs have changed (like marriage, children), it won't add you any benefit other than

I guess it is more like being hard prove a negative. There is no evidence that vaccines cause autism. But it is also difficult to prove vaccines cannot cause autism. The Anti-Vaxxers use this loophole to spread their beliefs.

The public keys won't be stable as we would need to rotate them. We need both a stable identity and a proof of that identity. Security is not very user friendly and would have made the digital tech even more fringe. One of the reasons

Agreed that obscurity is not security. However we don't want to make it easy for hackers to get a catalog of vulnerabilities to pick and choose from. I think the issue is public disclosure of vulnerabilities after a deadline. The hobby

I think one issue is when do we start drawing the line that an autonomous entity is recognized as a sovereign country. Do we start with the UN? Because before nation states formed, it was a bit ambiguous. British empire's colonies were
