Literally the entire argument for board and executive compensation being grossly inflated vs the people who actually do real work for companies is the responsibility they have. If an executive approves a design that kills people, they shoul

I mean Apple's iTunes is at this point one of the only services that lets you "buy" TV shows and movies, and download and "archive"[1] them (for whatever that means, when the sony/playstation network is allowed

Ok, so who does the federal congress represent? Could it be... you know, the people? But I do realize now from looking at your other comments, this is a 30 day old account in which all you do is spout BS white supremacist, conservative, and

My recollection was that it was essentially company A would decide they wanted to employ person X, and they would then go to contracting firms 1 through 100 and get all of them to apply for the same person X. And they could use the contract

Oh, so this looks like it's correcting for that thing where companies were essentially using multiple contracting companies to all apply for a visa for the same person? e.g. double (triple? n-ary?) dipping in the lotto? I still think a

The plan was always web apps, they're vastly more secure than any other option. That's a significant part of why safari for windows ever existed. The problem was developers just wanted to write native apps, presumably believing th

But see that's exactly the point. It's much easier for developers to support the majority browser, and that's what they do. MS did lots of shitty things to ensure that once IE was the majority browser it stayed there, but no

Yeah, but you can also point to features in Safari or Firefox that chrome doesn't have (weirdly often CSS features?) and make the same argument. But if you say "only supporting chrome is the easiest option" you're also s

To enforce permissions the OS needs to know what those permissions are. That's what entitlements are, and the App Store review is what ensures you don't have bogus entitlements. There are entitlements that, for example, control wh
