I’d be interested to know from someone knowledgeable whether Apple can recognize the revenue from a sale before the product has been delivered to the customer. It’s not clear to me that they can/do.

FWIW I see the corollary of this fairly often in commit messages, where the author "teaches" the code how to do something.

I just needed one peek at that crazy diagram to agree with your point.

Entrapment by what, reverse psychology? He didn’t walk into a sting set up by FBI agents; he went to a real conference in the real North Korea despite official warnings not to do so.

Not really too bizarre. Header files should include or declare everything they need; they should not introduce include-order dependencies. Listing your includes in lexicographic order is a good way to enforce header completeness.

He doesn’t know, hence the “probably”. It’s a good guess though, based on the known reliability of the wireless Magic Keyboard.

I believe it's controlled by a sort of dead man's switch, i.e. you must continuously hold down a button for the car to move.

It's alleged that they made misleading claims, but it's not like the whole operation was a complete fabrication. There were plants and machines and whatnot, as can be seen in several articles on tis topic.

So it's plausible that they illegally dumped wastewater as part of whatever it is they're doing that isn't working as advertised.

Wow. The walker kicks and whips the dog until it vomits blood and Wag offers a refund and a $100 credit as settlement.

Who in the world wants Wag credits after an experience like that. If Wag wants to buy these folks’ silence, shouldn’t they at least make a non-insulting offer?

Yes for ESPP but no for RSUs, which is what folks are talking about here. Selling RSUs when they vest incurs $0 capital gains.

But in both Apple's and Amazon's denials they claim to have already done extensive investigations.

There's a cost to damaging your credibility.

>It’s kind of like deleting a Facebook account then logging back in.

It’s not like that, though. You pay for MoviePass up front each month. Cancelling means you don’t want to pay for next month, but you are still able to use it for this month. Deleting the app would just be throwing money away.

They’re exploiting users who want to get fair value from their existing purchase.
