Sustainable means different things to different people. In a simulator, could you have 12 billion people with their needs met, living fulfilled lives and continuing into the far future? Yes. Is there a political and practical way to reach t

Well, the bulk of them want more meat, washing machines and air conditioning. The main increase of energy usage has been due to this, not people in urban areas eskewing apartments and public transport to drive cars and live in suburban hous

There used to be a style for journalism called reverse pyramid. The most important part is at the start and then details get filled in. Online video has turned this on its head.

True, but instead of providing education, healthcare and a social safety net, Apple just makes some phones. Good business if you can swing it!

As a government regulation, yes, you might need some liability insurance if you want to sell food for example. Apple is acting like it's a government here.

The new business terms still allow access to list apps on the Apple EU App Store. But they allow other app stores as well.

But Apple was scanning all applications' executables before Notarization/App Store listing. With browsers or JITs they can't do so.

Apart from what the other poster said, Apple also had meetings with EU regulators. Who are not judges so cannot definitely say whether something is legal, but they are the other side in any case that goes to court. As well, I don't thi

Apple has probably calculated the risk of a legal challenge as 99%, the risk of losing it is 80%, but they expect a small/affordable penalty and at least a couple of years where they can hold onto their rent seeking in the iPhone space

I know a wide range of nice restaurants. There's the seasonal French guff you mention, but there's also pizzas, places that have breakfast menus, curry houses...

Restaurants already know how to design menus to drive diners to choose the options that are better for the restaurant. I don't see how personalisation can improve the situation. Maybe the illusion of personalisation?

Actually, precedent only applies in common law systems. Switzerland has a civil law system. For somebody who doesn't know what they're talking about, you sure do press a lot of buttons.

The London AWS region was missing a lot of features for a long time. It's easier to just go with a big region.

Companies like Amazon and Apple are free to set prices, but there are rules about being a monopoly and what that entails. Amazon is not a monopoly, it just has a dominant position. Apple has used technological means to make itself a monopol

Amazon customers are still available on other platforms. They use credit cards and they can put their details into any site, and I imagine most of them frequently do. Their shipping address is also accepted by every company. iPhone users do

When a UK court made Apple merely put a notice on their website for two weeks (due to stealing Samsung's design elements) they similarly found the worst possible way to "comply". So much so that the court issued another order

They offer token settlements, require the victim to provide lots of evidence they wouldn't have, and expect them to pay for their own lawyers to invoke legal arcana that would get them a just compensation. https://www.taxpol

If every door has NFC why don't they just make physical cards like employee access cards or hotel key cards? They can still be logged, revoked, etc, the only "feature" lost is the Face ID/mobile phone passcode.

It needs a supported device, which is not that common.

And Windows AD and Exchange. You'd struggle to find a large business which doesn't use it anywhere in the world.

If I send spiders to somebody who ordered it to feed a pet, or I send it to a museum, it's the same act. So same damages due?

Sort by number of orders. It's a bit crass but you can accept a few duds and still come out ahead. In my experience even the duds are good for a year or two.

Yes, the claim that the scientists' hacked-together code is well tested and even uses valgrind gave me pause. It's more likely there are no tests at all. They made a change, they saw that a linear graph became exponential, and the

Well exactly, which is why we need regulation to force them to stop treating the iPhone like it's an Apple-operated shopping centre.

The green bubble makes it hard to read the text. (It actually violates Apple's own guidelines for text contrast).

Ah yes, because the current system is incentivising them to keep it simple... otherwise we'll vote for the simple taxes party... which party is that again?
