What a ridiculous statement. It's over 9% of their (giant) business, it would be a Fortune 500 company itself if not part of Apple.

Hear, hear! I type this on a "Late 2013" MacBook Pro that I would have upgraded years ago if the replacements were desirable and they can't even keep those up to date.

If you call 911 it is by definition an emergency situation, so no I don't believe this could be abused outside of emergency situations. Also, 911 already gets your location and that feature isn't something that gets abused (again,

The location is also only sent during the 911 call, so if you don't dial 911 your location isn't in the database and the security of the database doesn't matter, your location is "safe". https://info.rapi

I think that hypothetical is rare enough of an event that the overwhelming likelihood is more people turn it off without knowing the implications and then are unable to share their location when they are in an emergency.

TSLA isn’t the largest short, but have you considered the possibility that it’s a popular short at least in part because of all the negative reports? What Elon could do to really stick it to the shorts is make the amount of cars he said he

What about AR makes privacy matter? Apple has kept the same policy on privacy since way before it meddled in AR (and realistically almost no one uses AR, it’s photos/messages that people want private).

Interesting tidbit in this RFP is the winner has to pay for it! So of course they chose a startup that hasn’t built anything and has no financing.

In M&A cash means loans, not equity. If successful they'll probably issue a lot of bonds, but in the immediate term it would be loans.

That's great for you, but most people have enough photos and videos that 5GB isn't enough for a single device, let alone four. For a similar reason this is why many people complained that Apple continued to ship 32GB phones for so

To be fair there is not a single commercial REIT worth more than $35B [1]. WeWork is certainly large enough to own real estate, but they want to be valued like a tech company and you can't do that if you look more like a REIT. https:&

It's because they were dangling nearly 8% yields out there. As a comparison Argentina was recently successful with a 100 year bond (!) at about the same rate. This is the same Argentina that has defaulted on its bonds eight times and

What are you talking about? You can do directional with multi-leg just fine. Like you could buy the August TSLA 350 for $25.50 and sell the August TSLA 400 for $9.25. Selling the higher contract lowers your entry price to $16.25 and you&#x2
