The sandbox is extremely limited protection. There's no recourse against misuse of data you grant permission to use, but in the main App Store Apple can kill a deceptive app

This is not true. Thanks to friendly YouTube and web tutorials, non- technical users are great at hacking themselves: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-XSS

Video game consoles were extremely limited, as well as being cheap enough that people could buy several, as well as being completely inessential luxury toys, not tools for running businesses and lives.

Huh? Locking a machine to Windows is the manufacturer's choice, not Microsoft's. A better comparison is if MS banned installing apps not distributed by MS.

What personal data does Apple data mine?

Privacy is not the same as anonymity. Confidentiality is a technique for offering a degree of privacy without anonymity. Offering services to fully anonymous counterparties is fraught with challenges. Android is extremely vulnerable to thir

That's a user choice. iCloud supports storage if encrypted data and disabling unencrypted backups. It's fine that you reject the legitimacy of government, but unreasonable to expect huge organizations to do the same while serving

Worse than mere accumulation, it grows toxic mold.

The fix, known all over industry, it insurance coverage that pays out for externality incidents. Then actuaries figure out what real security is.

I wouldn't trust a company that implements security critical projects on the weekend...

The problem here is that when, P&L in IT/Security is L, the answer is always "reduce costs", not "get more credit for enabling and protecting the revenue of other cost centers". IT undercharges for the value the

But everything is a cost center , even product development and sales. A salesperson is a cost center except for the singular moments when they sign a deal.

Sounds like it's a test in Security Fluency, not Solution Providing.

Humans can't get this stuff right every time either. It's not like Colin Percival or Theo de Raadt , perfect as they are, could just audit and secure all of the Fortune 500.

Rebuilding the entire IT deployment is prohibitively expensive. Imagine if the solution to Covid was "the virus can spread to anyone, we need to replace all humans"

If hacker hack your systems, they get the decryption keys too. They just might need to hit two separate targets with two attacks or a attack that both are vulnerable to.

Zero trust protects the servers, not the network, and not the data. Protecting the data means encrypting it (which Google also does) such that the client needs a key to decode it. But if the client is hacked, the hacker can get their keys!

Can you find one case ever where distributing an entire copyright-protected unlicensed software program was ruled fair use?

Nutrition Facts rules apply the same to humans and corporations.

Inheritance tax can pay for that. Use undeserved money to pay for underserved care.

The wars are why you get $150K/yr instead of someone else.

A pen is expensive because it's got single serve packaging. A vial has 1000units and lasts about 2 weeks.

It should because those routine costs prevent disasters. That's also why car insurance pays you to install LoJack and homeowners insurance pays you to install fire alarms.

Uh, the people building healthshare programs are building sensible healthcare programs. They aren't the ones running government.

The only thing wrong here is a bit of silliness in the structure, the people who do have insurance but don't get the good negotiated price, and your made up numbers

How would you make use of data that was "every write", which could just be blocks of subfiles?
