Not really relevant as this is an example of when you can sign away your rights but I thought I'd just mention that it is impossible to sign away certain protected rights, no matter what a contract says.

A good example is a paid parking lot where it might say something along the lines of "by parking in this lot, you accept that 'parking company' is not liable for any theft, loss or damage of property." however if say a light fitting fell from the ceiling and damaged your car and you were able to prove negligence by the parking company then you may hold them liable for the damage.

Various companies try all kinds of unenforceable contract terms on the basis that the average Joe believes that he has to stick to whatever he agreed to. There was an amusing post on a legal blog where they went around NYC pointing out the hundreds of unenforceable contract terms that we are exposed to everyday.

The Governor of the Bank of England disagrees with you that there has not been an economic impact yet. His estimates are that we have lost possibly as much as 2% of GDP as a result of the vote. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44207677

I'd also point out that last year in the first 3Qs the UK grew its economy, true, but at by far the slowest rate of any of the G7 countries indicating we are lagging behind. Not all of that can be definitively put at the feet of Brexit of course. https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-economy-performanc...

I don't think the government is actively ignoring the economy, I just think they are hamstrung by the clear divisions in the nation (and indeed their party) as to whether we pursue a hard Brexit, or a Brexit in name only.

I agree with this. The best thing to do is try and resolve this with Apple. Apple's review process is very particular, and sometimes simply resubmitting an application version is enough to get it through. It's common for things to be picked up by one person that are ignored by another. I've also found that simply pressing the issue is enough to get reviews passed.
This might suffer from the same issue the alcohol consumption study lacked.

People that aren't consuming eggs might do so because of health issues. Meaning that they are more prone to feel the side effects.

Similar effect happened in the alcohol study, where moderate consumption had a lower mortality than those consuming nothing. It turned out that those abstaining from alcohol were more prone to get side effects immediately. After adjusting for these errors in data reporting, the u-curve disappeared and the relationship was linear (more alcohol you consumed higher the mortality).

I was also, embarrassingly, citing the alcohol study, since then I've realized the first reaction to a paper should be doubt and I'll definitely abstain from acknowledging epidemiological diet studies in the future. Even meta-analyses taking them into account.

One of the best examples is that many meta-analyses conclude that dietary cholesterol does not increase serum cholesterol (proven risk in CVD). Disregarding the fact that many of the aggregated studies do not measure baseline cholesterol, and it is assumed that there's a linear response on serum cholesterol to dietary cholesterol when it's a 20 year old information that response is non-linear.

From a security point of view, they're absolutely doing the correct thing, though account lock-outs also allow for denial-of-service attacks

Parent: >> I'm sure it deters the theft of iPhones/iPads at least a bit if they know the device will become completely useless once locked out.

>> Not a single one was stolen

The interesting question with the popularity of people having high values phones, tablets and laptops now, does the security measures of those devices keep the rate of theft low. If I were to correlate your statement (none stolen) with the theory (locking devices deters theft), it matches up. But, I get the feeling that isn't the point you wanted to make :)

> The people who actually advance culture have practically always been international cosmopolitans and humanists.

That claim is hard to square with the literary canons of a number of European peoples, the creations that these people consider the bedrock of their culture and which are exported around the world as what that respective people has to contribute to humankind. You'll find that these canons are to a large extent dominated by nationalists, especially in the wake of 1848. Sándor Petöfi, Mihai Eminescu, Taras Shevchenko, and Elias Lönnrot were not international cosmopolitans, at least not in their literary activity.

Whether their business model is handling data is irrelevant; they must ask for consent to use that data for ads and such - and that's even if they already have collected the data to provide a service requested by the user.

They recently came out with a new screen asking users to consent to a bunch of things, so they weren't compliant until then, and I wouldn't bet they are now.
So basically, like all crypto it’s just another layer of speculative trading, fraud and scams all the way down?

Congratulations, I guess...
have you ever spent a lot of time sifting through any non-trivially large set of data looking for a pattern. Sometimes you need precepts to help you narrow your scope of attention. Like, when you go to find the proverbial needle in a haystack, the surest way of finding the needle is to take a "bottom up" approach and sift the entire haystack. Or, you could use your knowledge of where you last saw the needle and do a rough search there. Or in the hope that the needle is the right kind of metal you might try using a magnet. Each of these might prove fruitless if your assumptions don't hold but they have a high probability vs their cost.
I feel like Apple did nothing wrong here. If they parent/daughter chose to go around every recovery mechanism Apple provided it's their own fault.

You realize that this article actually does state: Yes, they ARE regulating power consumption of vacuum cleaners.

Apparently you think it is a good idea for some bureaucrats in Brussel to regulate power consumption of vacuums - if you believe that, fine with me, your opinion.

But its not "fake news" or FUD. Its real.
It absolutely is not censorship resistant. It is 100% mob rule. Smart contracts are complete horseshit and this one will be no different. See also: the DAO. Can’t work and never will.
It's _better_ for the EU to define these things. If the EU hasn't done it centrally, member states would be doing it individually. This way:

1) You get a single definition of cucumber class 2C for every country, rather than a bunch of definitions that make trade more complex
2) It's (num_countries_in_EU) times cheaper to do it once than to do it seperately for every single country.

It has become quite clear to me that anyone who brings up the shape of bananas or cucumbers in the EU is either just spreading FUD because they've decided they're against the EU for other reasons, or believes anything the papers tell them without applying critical thinking to the matter.
It just seems to be easier and more likely to have tablet locked forever, especially for a child, this way then have it actually stolen. Also, a mean schoolmate can lock kids device forever if the kid is not looking.

Which sounds like a good reason not to password protect the device.
> She did not do anything to trigger the Apple ID issue.

I chalk this up to the child not wanting to admit they entered the wrong passcode too many times. iOS devices "disable" themselves after enough failed attempts. This is a good thing - you want this to happen if your device is stolen. "Disabled" only means you need to prove ownership by either:

a) Connecting the iPad (via USB) to iTunes on a Mac or PC that is logged into the same Apple ID account. This is the original method, from the era when desktop iTunes was mandatory to setup and sync iOS devices.

b) Using "Find my iPad" to reset the device via the iCloud web interface. This was added as an alternative when cloud sync/backup was added (ie: when owning a second device running iTunes became optional).

Two critical points from the OP:

1. Inability to provide the birth date and answers to security questions.

2. Inability to access the email account associated with the Apple ID ("her email provider deleted the account about 3-4 years ago").

These are only needed to perform password reset / account recovery for an Apple ID - which tells me they do not even know the Apple ID's password, and cannot provide the information required to recover that Apple ID.

This person's situation is indistinguishable from a stolen device, by a thief who cannot prove ownership of the Apple ID. I say: "working as intended".
Trouble is, a PIN code is useful as a very casual line of defence (threat model: your brother picking up the device and messing with your stuff). It's terrible that the obvious means to avoid that threat is also something that could lose you access to your device entirely.

Sometimes the code is perfectly easy to understand, but the reasons for the code may still be a complete mystery.

e.g. This is the kind of thing I find myself wondering very often while browsing our company's codebase:

"Why are we only appending the jurisdiction on this partner and not the others? Is this intentional or an oversight? Maybe the unit tests will tell me more..."
I agree with that analysis. The main reason why Facebook is relevant in Europe is because everybody is still on it - but actual usage is steadily decreasing, especially in the younger generation. Most communications nowadays is done via WhatsApp, but that is trivial to replace. (Telegram is already quite popular, and then there is Signal, Threema, etc.)

Of course, it would be a blow for individuals if all their uploaded content was suddenly locked. But at least in Germany FB already has such a bad reputation that public indignation might center more on the company than on the EU regulators.
Well, I'm interested to know what they are.

At some fundamental level, how do you ensure the security of a device if you can't verify that it's the owner who is trying to access it?
No, he cracked the screen but also killed the power supply by shorting it somehow. From Apple's perspective, it's unknown the actual extent of the damage that they've caused to the machine, and the moment they repair it, they're accepting responsibility for it from then on.
This is painful but I don't see this as an Apple problem.
People do get convicted of murder and perjury, though.

That's really only the case if the owner isn't able to show that they own the device, and hasn't set up a password recovery mechanism to demonstrate they own the account.

I do feel bad for them, but it's kind of a confluence of a lot of different mistakes that led to this point.
I had the opposite experience as I love(d) Pascal but I never did warm to Delphi quite as much. Borland's IDEs were amazing though - for a long time I preferred Delphi's IDE over Visual Studio. And as for Turbo Pascal; even now I look upon that as one of the greatest IDEs ever released.

Why bother ?

This app is capturing website history which would be invaluable to third parties. Given the current environment (with Cambridge Analytica and Facebook) there is no way any normal, sensible company wouldn't crack down on apps like this given half the chance.

It sucks for the guy if his app isn't sending data to third parties but you can't blame Apple for not trusting him.

* Unfortunately, younger generations have lost sight of this, some of them erroneously believe that wars could not start again in Europe without the EU. That's very short-sighted, historically, Europe has been torn by wars almost all the time. *

We live in different times today. 2018 is not 1918. I would be worried if younger generations could imagine to waste their lives and their wealth for war.

The problem is that too many of the younger generations trust the older generations (current politicians) which trust in lies and wars as solutions. E.g. Syria, Libya, Iraq, Israel.

I generally find it a safe assumption that were the comments don't agree with the code both are wrong, or will be next time someone makes a related change (as sod's law says they'll chose to trust the one that is least correct). Even when all the actors involved are me at different times.
It amazes me how both the hearing at the US senate, and the one at the European Parliament, were marred by an absurdly ineffectual format of the Q&A session.

You'd think that having achieved the seemingly hardest part, which was to get Zuck to talk to these bodies at all, care will be taken to make the most of the opportunity. Rather, the complete opposite has taken place.

I found it laughable how many times I've heard, during the US Senate session, an injunction addressed to the speaker to wrap it up, as their allotted time was up. The entire thing was rushed as if they were in a hurry to catch a train.

Is the Cambridge Analytica fiasco alone not reason enough to keep Zuckerberg in the hot chair for 12 hours over 2 days, if need be, if that is what is ultimately required to get him to actually divulge meaningful information, rather than the sound bites that he happily served up?

It seems that these hearings were mostly carried out for show, and rather than actually protect the interests of their constituents, these legislative bodies are content to operate on a purely formalistic level, devoid of any actual meaning. This is global politicians v.2018 for you - fumbling, toothless, woefully out of their depth on crucial issues of our time.
Dmhgmkguj,
(Opinion zone) Eggs cannot be healthy for you. They’re mostly cholesterol and saturated fat. The B vitamins in them come from supplementing their mothers with synthetics.

For the high caloric price of admission you get very little vitamins, minerals, and protein. Just look at their nutrient profile for proof: 1 egg nets you 10+% of your daily saturated fat recommendation, 14% riboflavin, 11% vitamin b12, and all other vitamins less than 8%. For the minerals, 23% of your selenium (really not something you need in abundance - google selenium overdose), 10% phosphorus, and the rest 5% or below. All of that for only about 1/9th of your daily suggested protein.

So to get your daily protein from eggs you would need to overdose on cholesterol by almost 9 times the recommendation, consume 90+% of your saturated fat, and overdose on selenium, and so on.

And if that weren’t enough, you would be eating more fat (by weight) than protein.

Edit-fixed saturated fat content to 10%

Edit 2-The ratio of omega3 to omega6 is about 1:12. That should be more like 1:1 (preferably) or at least 1:4. So to correct that you would need to eat even more fats to correct that ratio intake.
