If failure to pay property taxes means you vacating the property after government seizure, then you don't own the land anyway. Threat of seizure is a serious problem for a business, why not force them to pay twice?

I totally disagree. There were smartwatches before Apple's, therefore the category already existed. It may not have been a high profile category in some people's eyes, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. Also, I disag

How many examples of a particular technology has to exist before someone can't boldly claim that Apple created the category?

Well, in the jurisdictions I'm familiar with it is quite illegal to avoid authorities while being a wanted fugitive.

It's not that "old people" think they hear such things, in some cases those things are actually stated. That's the problem as I see it, the people who use calm, controlled, verbal arguments are drowned out by the idiots

I think there's plenty of examples of a small opinion resulting in big, unintended consequences. If people start thinking there's no long-term punishment for theft if caught then no one will attempt to take advantage of it? I&#x27

>> Why in god's name would they just lower their prices? To be nicer to people? Um, yes? Most businesses actually work that way in an attempt to maintain customer loyalty. I'm not saying every business works that way, but th

Is the act of avoiding the authorities while being a wanted fugitive not illegal in Germany?

>> Could have been lower... Yes, that's what I said. I find it interesting that in one sentence you admit something with no proof is not a given but the other part with no proof, that supports your negativity towards this store,

Risk for the owner's business does go up, because the pricing has to be adjusted to offset the theft; which affects everybody. Since theft is legal under this definition that means risk for the owner has gone way up now. Eventually ins

Civilized countries? Nice insult you got there, not very civilized of you though.

Or even better, implement the system that is starting to decent success in many areas; mandate that stores hand over still edible foods they would normally throw away due to standard business practices.

Your beer versus water question works for food as well. Will there be difference of opinion by the law if the starving man steals bread versus steak? The tax, or charity for that matter, to feed the poor is something that works quite well i

>> Its prices were also among the highest for any food store, so i'm sure they still did well) I'm sure their prices could have been lower if they didn't have up to 15% shrinkage as well.

It's likely as simple as a failed company of people from the beginning that got lucky with one or two games because of external forces and thought they could make run of it forever. It's not a new story in the games industry, it h

An inflated market can be called a bubble, it just depends on how inflated it is and how people interpret that. Just because something is a bubble doesn't mean it's destined to burst. What we're seeing now could be considered

Well, I would say all those things have required technology of some sort or another since they all started. So saying they require technology is nothing new. Now saying they all require software technology of a specific sort from silicon va

I've always understood that getting a local judge to expedite a warrant for timely reasons is not unheard of.

I was meaning in a general sense of the jurisdiction they are in; this new thing only adds to that ability.

Your comment has angered me to the point I went out and harmed someone. Be sure to step forward to accept your part of the punishment.

What's funny to me is the person probably doesn't even realize that's part of the problem they are supposedly against; or scarily they might. Hate speech laws are just used to justify punishing people you don't like or w

Likely those laws were never intended to actually do anything about racism. Racism was used as the boogeyman to justify expanding government powers to allow arresting of the "other". It's a growing trend in many nations aroun

Doesn't law enforcement already cherry pick judges for the different warrants that they want?

I work in Javascript every day, its ecosystem has very little influence on its usage in my job. I guess it varies from job-to-job.

I totally disagree with that, but that's just my opinion.

It's sad because that's judging a language based on external things that don't directly relate to the language itself. It's like blaming tools for the misuse of the tools instead of the people actually misusing the tools

So, does this mean we shall start seeing "the iPhone is dead" click-bait articles like we see with other similar tech products when their sales slump for various reasons?

Yes. Compliance things can be broken down into smaller deliverables just like anything else. You just have to make sure what the feature being delivered is compliant if it is being released to production. Just because something is being &qu

Bah, as a front-end developer paying attention to my space I hear about "HTML/CSS/Javascript sucks and this is why" articles nearly every day. I'd rather these people tell me what they like and why; it would be far
