They can request your PIN all they want, but you are not obligated to provide it. They can temporarily detain you but not indefinitely, and the EFF is challenging their authority to even do that. [0] Personally, I would refuse to unlock my

It's complicated by your phone or laptop also being a gateway to a much larger digital footprint. My phone has some information stored locally, but it also has the keys to all my online accounts. If I carry a key to my home safe with m

I never said that accessories don't make Apple money, but that money is a tiny percentage of the amount brought in by devices.

> Apple wants YOU to buy accessories, which are the meat of their business with ridiculous margins. This is laughably false. Accessories are a tiny percentage of Apple's revenue.

Seriously, I actually consider iPhones to be some of the most cost-effective purchases I make. My mom is still happily using my old iPhone 5, and my iPhone 4 functions as a pretty nice media controller.

The notion of charging people to be part of the community seems like a terrific way to immediately kill any semblance of community. Realistically, the only people who will pay a membership fee are those who can charge it to a company. That

No good interviewer is grading whiteboard coding on whether you forgot a parenthesis or semicolon.

It would also substantially increase the cost of this interviewing method.

I used to think that, but honestly after recently going through a job search I think it's untenable for most scenarios. As a candidate, I want to be able to interview with multiple companies simultaneously—if I had to do a trial week w

I'm not saying we shouldn't have serious questions about his competence after this breach. Rather, my point is that we should be questioning his competence (and that of the rest of the executive team's) due to this breach, no

Which part is a massive reach? The fact that certain companies (which I choose to classify as "tech" companies) are willing to invest 2-3x as much into their technical employees? A "tech" company is a company for whom te

I don't think that is relevant at all. There are plenty of incompetent CS graduates, and plenty of highly competent non-CS graduates.

I am 100% certain that "tech" companies have an entirely different attitude towards engineering costs than non-tech companies. The former want the best people working on problems and will pay what it takes (within reason), the lat

Is there evidence of that? I have to imagine that someone used to earning high incomes (like a doctor) would be able to effectively manage a large cash infusion without hurting their marriage. Of course, this ignores the fact that sometimes

Maybe it's my bias, but I feel like I actually hear a lot of stories about rural white people. Especially since the election, every outlet keeps wanting to do think pieces on their plight.

Sure, you don't want to rely on a lone genius. But I'd argue it's much better to have a team of 10 excellent engineers than 30 mediocre ones. There are tons of companies with thousands and thousands of engineers who could e

Exactly, that's why I think this is one of the biggest examples of mismanagement out there. For me, it's actually not about the compensation for its own sake. It's that compensation is a strong signal of how the company thi
