Your two sentences basically contradict one another, no? Apache doesn't handle brotli, so it will pass the compressed body to the underlying server undecoded, which means the underlying server is effectively exposed to attacks on this bug, if it does brotli decode on the body.

Not under long settled American jurisprudence. See Marbury v. Madison (1803).

One of the top comments in this very thread suggests the seed timestamps were maybe selected specifically for purpose.

Apple doesn't use one either.

Can you clarify what you mean by "second screen content" here? I don't feel like I would get anything out of Alec's videos by "watching" them while really watching something else (which is how I understand that term, possibly incorrectly). Do people really do that?

That would be a steep hill for shareholders to climb, IMO. They'd have to prove that ignoring trump was not in shareholders' interest in the short term and (even harder) in the long term, right?

By your theory, couldn't (presumably other) shareholders sue over what Apple actually did? Like, maybe cowing to Trump has done damage to Apple's brand, in violation of fiduciary duty.

I agree, though I still don't really know what that reason is. What is the point of fuck-you money if you won't use it to say "fuck you"?

Apple's execs, for instance, definitely had enough monetary and social capital to basically just ignore Trump, and they haven't.

No, because their HN comment is a primary source, not a secondary source.

Definitely. But I've at least heard about the people doing the false reports being prosecuted, even if not consistently enough for my liking.

At some point, the responding local police should be held criminally liable. A tiny brass badge should not shield you from having to comply with society's laws.

You don't see what's confusing, and then you proceed to mention something confusing. If a basic-skills user can't find "missed calls", that's confusing!
