Isn't this business 101? Charge what the market will bear? Unclear to me why the court thinks profit margin needs to be a factor of the value of goods/services/ip, or that the court is even capable of determining what that value is?

The app is free for users, but the coworking space pays the app's company a considerable fee to manage access to the doors and audit logs and such, so it's not that it's subsidized by brainrot games. Free apps on iOS should be subsidized by, I don't know, the purchase price of the phone and the $100 yearly developer fee I'd think. > Honestly this system isn't half bad, it's essentially a tax on idleness that funds a…
> the coworking space pays the app's company a considerable fee to manage access to the doors and audit logs and such, so it's not that it's subsidized by brainrot games. I think you're well aware that these fees don't go toward the iOS SDK licensing/infra/staffing/security/distribution costs of the app and the App Store. That's what is being subsidized by the brainrot games. Furthermore, there's nothing stopping tha…
The door opener uses NFC, and iOS does not allow webapps to use NFC, only app-store apps: https://caniuse.com/webnfc
Apple has consistently made the experience of using webapps worse, including making installing them so convoluted that most users continue to not even know they exist.

A change of leadership? This is clear, obvious, undenied evidence of Tim Cook committing a criminal act. This is a crime . A coordinated, intentional, well-informed crime made in malice! He should go to jail!
100%. For any regular citizen this would obviously lead to jail time. Being Tim Cook shouldn't change that.

> So was Roman incompetent or just kissing ass hoping to become the President of Finance Why not both?
Execs will continue to default to obfuscating and misleading in testimony as well as minimally complying with court orders until a high-profile exec spends time in jail for criminal contempt. I fear this particular guy isn't senior enough to be the example we really need. While I'm sure he lied and obfuscated, I doubt a VP Finance was really the top decision-maker on "Despite the clear court order, we're going to kee…
I am not sure but it does seem that apple's stock price has taken a hit. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/ Maybe somebody could enlighten me but the off hours part shows -2.3%, is that a correction because people are losing faith in apple or what exactly? and would these off hours loses get converted to on hour losses or what exactly? (Sorry I could ask AI but I might as well ask here as well) So I had done some…

Apple didn’t lose money because their stock price dropped. All their shares out in the world lost that much value . The stock price has little, if any, affect on the company and its bank accounts.

>> Tim Cook ignored Schiller
>> Cook chose poorly.
>> Cook, Schiller, and Maestri were the ultimate decision makers “about what they felt was [an] acceptable” level of risk to cabin the Injunction’s effect in terms of link placement and design.
I really, really, really hope this guy gets treated like very else under similar circumstances. Top execs are totally used to be able to buy their way out of problems with company money without any personal repercussions other than maybe a big severance package.
The argument for the high wages was always the "big responsibilty" the manegerial class has to bear. IMO to hold them personally liable is the absolite bare minimum, they already for the money for it. In reality CEO processes are often among the line: "You earned 10 Millions in boni for illegal behavior? Here is a 100K fine!" A simple tradesperson is also personally responsible when they fuck up their job despite bet…

Singapore got this right with everything up to capital punishment for white collar crimes.
Otherwise what is painful punishment for a poor person is just a laughable fee for rich people.

The market amd the law allow it, and so it is the case. Moral justifications are just post-hoc fluff.
