In the US it is a crime to impersonate police that most police zealously prosecute

I suspect Apple wants to enable proprietary wireless features and they don’t want to involve Qualcomm in their IP
106.
by someguydave 2y ago
Why couldn’t Apple negotiate directly with Globalstar?

Sure it could be done but good luck convincing cell phone vendors to adopt liability for aircraft safety

are you referring to a particular EM modeling software or codebase?
117.
by someguydave 2y ago
Because that would be stealing from everyone who holds dollars by increasing the supply
118.
by someguydave 2y ago
“by code” what codes? Do you mean offered but cancelled bids/asks and things like that?

Yeah selling options makes you an insurance firm, so you should have a better handle on valuing risk than your counterparty or you are probably the fool.
