> But I don't see anything in there that say they have the ability to mandate unlocking.

That's because cell phones didn't exist when the FCC mandate was created. So no, you won't see cell phones (or attributes of cell phones) explicitly mentioned.

That said, cell phones are radio communication devices, which is something the FCC does indeed regulate. They have long history of regulating the manufacture and operation of such devices. Vendor lockin included (something that ATT tried and was swatted down for with landline phones).

And let's be honest, Congress has had decades to narrow the mandate of the FCC if they believed they were misbehaving when it comes to cell phone regulation. The FCC operates on behalf of congress, after all.
I'll never forget when we were at a trade show and one of our competitors walked up to our booth and blatantly said we should all work together to keep prices at a certain level.

it even does a surprisingly good job of avoiding descriptions of them too. i'm assuming that on this blog for/by geospatial types, the author presumed a lot about the audience.

in fairness tho, the concept is simple enough and the post is more about how they fit within the cube than the maps themselves. given that, I'm not sure how useful the avoidance maps created at the NYC workshop discussed would have been. hand drawn, quickly annotated, and (it seems) created by laypersons new to the idea.

Barring any evidence, of which there was none in that video, you must evaluate the credibility of the speaker based on the entirety of their message.

Do you or do you not believe that thinking that someone should be tortured to death by waterboarding makes you a sociopath?

Do you or do you not believe that a suburban Canadian stay-at-home mother personally witnessed:

1. a human being,

2. being waterboarded,

3. until that human being died?

Yes, or no?

I say yes it makes you a sociopath and no she did not witness a human die due to being waterboarded. That makes her as credible as Alex Jones.

> Shared iPad requires a mobile device management (MDM) solution and Managed Apple IDs that are issued and owned by the organization.

To note, I don't think I've ever seen an organization actually sharing their iPads at scale. For instance I saw a Sales fleet with central management but each employee has their own iPad that's exchange only if it dies or disfunctions.

Same for classrooms, each kid getting their own iPad seems to be the norm. I'd guess at the end of the day having multiple account on one device is still a PITA in some way ? (local storage management perhaps ?)

Apple truly has been very slow to market with a lot of basic features like this. And even this feature is only available to enterprises/schools with an IT department.

For a mature OS (if you subscribe to the idea that iPadOS is an OS in the first place), features like multiple profiles seem like table stakes.

I'm not sure whether I prefer a go to market approach more similar to Google (launch quick, and kill projects that don't work) or Apple's approach (launch extremely slow and be extra sure there's long-term product market fit).

> Yes, sure, but this applies to UBI as well.

It does not. THE primary difference between UBI and unemployment is that UBI does not disappear once you are unemployed. So in my hypothetical scenario above, the person would be making Y+X. Assuming UBI is paid for via income taxes, and that those income taxes are applied progressively, at some point up the income ladder you will be paying more in taxes than you receive in UBI, but at the lower income scales it is all accretive making for a strong incentive to work.

> Then I think we should also guarantee a job for anybody who wants one, with a significant step up in income. (And right now that job should be capturing carbon.)

I think we should have a UBI and then combine that with eliminating the minimum wage. Maybe we limit that to just nonprofits, but the goal would be to make it easier to pay people to do work that is currently not incentivized in our current economy. For example, near me, I volunteer for beach cleanups and at the community garden. These groups are well funded, but they need to rely on volunteers because the minimum wage near me is over $17 and the operations are very labor intensive. If you have a UBI, the idea of paying people a few bucks an hour to clean the beach becomes much more palatable. Right now, we need to try to strong arm companies into paying livable wages, but there is only so much economic activity that is profitable at those levels. A UBI that provides very basic subsistence (we are talking squalor levels of assistance, FYI), combined with reducing barriers to employment would go a long way towards resolving some major ills in our current economy.
> For papers with code, I have a[sic] seen a tendency to consider the code

That's merely a tactic for making threats with plausible deniability. Message gets transmitted, but in a way that shifts authorship away from its true source. Trump uses "people are saying" in this manner, Putin has an actual lackey in flesh doing the talking.
But the result is that, although I want a new iPad, I cannot justify buying even one, given how useless it is in a family-shared environment.

I did a road trip through a part of Canada recently. These are only on 401 I think, but they were pretty nice. Small convenience store, a food court with 2-3 fast food choices, gas pumps, and DC fast chargers. Usually have their own exit/on ramps on the highway as well, made it super easy to get in and out. Well-spaced for charging on a road trip too.

Possibly true, though too many separate studies and surveys show the inadequacies of American healthcare for me to dismiss them all.

When I last lived in the USA my ACA premium (self-employed, two adults) started at $1,150/mo with $12,000 combined annual deductible, plus a co-pay. I struggled to find doctors who would accept the insurance, and in the US you need a primary care physician to refer to specialists, get diagnostics, etc. After two years of that my premium got raised to $1,450/mo with $14k deductible — prohibitive for me and I will guess most middle-class people. Quality of care fairly poor — doctors and labs missed a critical cardiac condition twice.

I live in Thailand now, where I can walk in to a hospital without a referral, get the tests I need immediately, and pay out of pocket because prices come to 1/5th or less than US prices. Thai hospitals found two urgent conditions missed in the US. I have a catastrophic policy that costs $210/mo for me and my wife, with $500/yr deductible. In a poor developing country that, incidentally, has a lot of immigrants, legal and illegal.

Thailand has socialized health care for citizens. Very cheap but not the best quality of care. If you remove automobile and motorbike collisions (bad in Thailand) the medical outcomes and life expectancies match the US, on average.

Your mileage varies. In the US you can get treatment for some things in the ER. You cannot walk in and get a colonoscopy, or cardiac imaging, which may not seem urgent in the moment but can save your life nevertheless. I prefer not to wait for the heart attack or tumor I may survive if I can get to an ER in time. My father had the same largely genetic conditions and died without insurance, unable to get diagnostic care where he lived.
It’s very common in industries where the software is the tool, not the iPad itself.

For example, it makes sense for sales to have their own iPad, because they use it as a portable notebook, CRM, email box, slideshow controller, etc.

But in geomatics or environmental engineering, it’s not uncommon for field techs to share the ruggedized iPad that’s already preloaded with the 5-figure mapping software, data collection tools, etc

I don't know if this is true - might just be a joke - but I've heard stories of people unfamiliar with Western classical music going to concerts and telling the people who brought them that they liked the "first part" of the music, their hosts thinking they meant the first movement or the piece that was played first, but they actually meant the tuning. See e.g. https://silpayamanant.wordpress.com/2013/11/06/if-you-apprec....

It seems like the story is usually told about an "Indian musician" and something similar happened in reverse at a Ravi Shankar concert, where the Western audience applauded after he tuned.

My parents bought an iPad recently, intending to share it. They were dumfounded that it could only have one account and amazed that no-one had pointed it out to them when they went to buy it. It's now my Dad's iPad, which is a shame for my Mum.
