The most obvious and not controversial- Home screen on the iphone vs a home screen on Android.

I consider all of these likely-

>FBI found someone inside they could negotiate with(IE- better patents or the threat of denied patents)

>FBI found someone they could bribe

>FBI hacked and broke into the iphone

3/3 of those Apple wants to keep quiet.

This is the biggest benefit of Apple users.

I like Bitcoin, I don't see a use for any other coin. Decentralized verification seems to be valuable in Currency only.

Timestamps and voting do not seem to be valuable, this was the craze over alt coins.

>when you value things that are based on things outside your control e.g. social validation, financial success, you will struggle to be happy.

These are outside our control? I found both were achieved by choosing to be an engineer and going above and beyond.

Warning,

When Medical got regulated in the U.S. the prices skyrocketed, and customer care stagnated. The regulators were incentivized to create a monopoly by the entrenched medical professionals.

Now people are asking for more regulations. Is that the solution?

>the government will helpfully tell them what to correct.

>the government

There is no 'the government'.

The government is an entity of elected and unelected people. They have their own bias, their own friends, their own wants.

I have stopped using Facebook because it sucks, but if the government sucks, I am forced to use them.

Higher standards of living. Less starvation, better environment, etc...

>My friend "applied," knowing full well it was a scam.

Knew it was a scam and did it anyway?

These are the people that need to have conversations with economists.

>Complete win for who exactly ?

The sweat shop workers, the company, the customers.

Sweat shop workers are losing their ability to do mindless labor, next up, they will be using their brains to make low skill decisions where automation cannot. Think Amazon Turk.

Customers get lower cost, likely higher quality products.

Company gets more reliable workforce.

>It's all fun and games until you have to take into consideration the soci-economical aspect of automation.

This has already happened in history. You COULD make it illegal, but then your countries technology will be out performed by another country.
