I'm assuming most jailbreakers probably don't want to enable piracy, but just want to use apps that Apple won't compete with fairly - like Steam game streaming, or a browser built with an alternate engine like chromium.

The only thing you haven't accounted for is buying power. Income comparisons have to be normalized along with buying power.

$12K in China-2019 is likely greater than $32K USA-1984??

> Because you managed to get under my skin...

I'm not betting on the remainder of your comment being objective. In 2019 if someone can get under your skin by just politely asking for evidence, maybe just maybe, you aren't engaging objectively.

Nonetheless, while there is some evidence pointing to aggressive spying by the Israelis, if you disconnect it from the context of what the U.S. does in Israel, the suggestions of favoritism seem disingenuous.

Most of all, there's no real evidence that 3-letter agencies and career state department employees, who largely handle domestic and international spying, would undermine U.S. interests, regardless of who is in the White House.

Regardless of the attempt here at painting a country's foreign policy as partisan, any given country favors one U.S. party over the other. Right now, China probably favors a Democrat led government, so does Iran. The U.S. probably favors one Israeli party over the other. Your entire issue with this is likely because you perceive Israeli spying to oppose your political party. On those lines, would you classify Chinese/Iranian spying efforts as harmless, just because they currently bat for the Democrats? Or Canada, given that they are allied?

Also, it is being taken as fact that Israel is the originator of the sting rays, when in reality this isn't conclusive.

I believe the U.S. and Israel have proportionate response to each other being caught spying, it makes zero common sense for the U.S. to undermine it's own national security by repeatedly going easy on Israel.

So, citations outstanding on the following open ended claims made:

1. Extent and depth of Israeli spying in the U.S. is considered to be particularly extreme (and U.S spying in Israel isn't)

2. US is easy on Israeli spying efforts despite Israel being hard on US spying efforts

3. Israel is definitely behind the sting rays

4. Your reaction to this story is partisan

And how's this different from America spying on Israel, or any of the five eyes nations it claims to not spy against?

Every country spies on everyone else.

The money comes from lobbyists for previous incumbents in those industries, like legacy taxi, hotel, restaurant... businesses. Those legacy businesses also tend to have stronger Union bases

No you shouldn't be writing in Ada. Embedded software running all kinds of sensitive workloads, from pacemakers to routers/switches use C for it's superior tooling, universal support across compilers and chip vendors, massive user base and decades long best practices (like NASA's C coding guidelines) to mitigate some of C's potential inadvertent misuses.

Not to mention the bevy of advanced niche features, like SIMD support, and custom GCC extensions that lend superpowers to C coders that other languages typically lack.

Sure, ada may have it's benefits for certain narrow use cases, but for non-hobby projects spanning tens/hundreds of engineers, considering real world vendor support for ada and missing talent pool, C is the obvious choice

The lesson here is for Uber drivers to realize it can't be a career, and quit, just like you did. I don't believe they're being compelled or misled into driving for Uber/Lyft.

Additionally, mass exodus of drivers from Uber/Lyft will compel those companies to increase rates

Every one of those features appeared in Chinese & Korean Android phones 2-3 years ago. Neither are these "feats", nor are they unique to Apple. They're already behind the curve on these features.

The only commendable thing is scale, when Apple adds these features they reach 10X in unit sales per SKU compared to the competition.

Where is the analysis on the percentage of traffic served via IPFS to back up any claims of the benefits of IPFS.

It appears to me that Cloudflare accepts IPFS as (another) source for it's CDN operations & any benefits of flat CPU utilization are likely from the CDN and not IPFS.

In fact, 3 VMs in 3 regions is complete overkill. If the traffic numbers are to be believed, one could simply post their Hugo site to GitHub Pages or Netlify with zero extra steps or dollars spent. No IPFS needed
