Another copycat CEO who read somewhere that in-office work drives "collaboration, creativity and innovation" and thinks that it's the ultimate solution to solving a companies problems. In reality, all these CEO's ONLY care about the stock price and their structured earn-out/incentive compensation within their executive employment agreement and how that plays out for them.
That’s what apple has largely done and that’s what a lot of small repair stores complain about. Requiring an AppleID to activate a phone, tying components to the crypto processor on device, etc. all is part of this - and it just happens to make repairs harder, used parts worthless, … There’s a pretty big tradeoff here.
Most components in an iPhone today are programmed to the device and will either warn you with an on screen prompt, or refuse to work at all if you move them to another iPhone. It hasn't seemed to stop theft tho, I suspect a large number of people are falling for the iCloud phishing scams after their device is stolen.
This is one. Data shows that Apple's technical solutions and policies (e.g. disallowing repair for phones marked lost or stolen) caused iPhone thefts to plummet when they were rolled out, and were so effective that they became a model for the rest of the industry.
"Thefts of iPhones in London fell by 24% in the first five months of 2014 compared to 2013, while in San Francisco they fell by 38%, and in New York by 19%, according to data from the New York attorney general's 'Secure Our Smartphones' initiative, following the introduction of the kill switch – officially called "activation lock" – feature in the iOS 7 mobile software which lets owners remotely wipe and lock their phones if they are stolen."
I don't understand the problem here. Living in EU country. Nobody would ever try to steal so publicly from you.
There will be some deeper problem in London, hmm hmm hmm. I wonder what is it.
Source? The Venezuelans and Iranians have strong relations, I doubt this is real. A lot of propaganda against Iran lately while the Israelis continue to slaughter Palestinians on a daily basis (while calling for “freedom” in Iran).
I don’t disagree with the point you’re making and I too am angry about abortion bans but I’d hardly say there was “not a peep from anyone”. I heard and continue to hear (and make) a lot of peeps.
America spends hundreds of billions on foreign policy while blatantly ignoring domestic issue like these that are detrimental to our way of life. It’s sad to see America turn into a cesspool of crime.
Foreign policy is a national issue handled by the federal government. Small crime like this is handled by the local government.
San Francisco and other progressive cities are getting the crime they voted for with defund the police politicians and lax district attorneys. Not all cities are experiencing these issues. Its a local issue from mid-guided policy.
Does it seem though that specific locales are disproportionately slipping back into crime "cesspools"? Could it be something like the "broken window" theory of crime or might it be areas of heightened homelessness where this is a problem?
True. But this just shows that we do know how to bring crime under control. Just a question of political will at this point. The recipe is there, if we look to history.
America is a federal union. The policy and spending of the federal government can't and shouldn't be applied to these hyper local issues. San Franciscans are probably the highest taxed individuals on the planet and the San Francisco government was flush with cash. Blame local government policy and politics for these issues. This is what happens when you elect literal communist terrorists (see Weather underground) into government.
There are parts of this country that can be considered paradise in comparison to San Francisco.
There is no tradition of American elites joining government for public service, other than a small group who joins the State Dept to control foreign policy.
There is no American nobility who joins government consistently to make a positive impact in America for Americans.
Anyone can join an Ivy League school though. Thousands join every year. Not just anyone can join the nobility.
Sure some of those are legacies, but many are not as well. Every Harvard class has nobodies from nowhere.
You just don’t see the same mobility in other systems. England likes their story about random boys drawing swords from stones and becoming kings, but that just doesn’t happen. Sure maybe our system is not 100% egalitarian, but it’s an improvement I think.
There is no such thing as unlimited when it comes to resources and/or scalability in the hosting market. You might want to find a local colocation provider, buy a few network switches and servers as a secondary production and backup environment for your startup. Deploying your own infrastructure gives you full control over your startup. Yes it will raise your overhead and yes it’s not cheap but for a sustainable operation it’s a requirement in my opinion. I currently use Azure but I also have my own deployment with my own IP addresses and ASN which I keep spare capacity and keep some important servers on there incase something happens with Azure. Definitely helps me sleep better at night.
This is disturbing. Outside of this, I actually deleted the Twitter App from my phone a few weeks ago when I found out they still own a huge part of Twitter.
