Puts things into perspective
Just found a new fave site.
Both parties showed their evidence on a projector screen. Apple’s legal team used a MacBook to shuffle between evidence documents, stacking them side by side in split screens and zooming in on specific paragraphs. In contrast, the Justice Department’s lawyers could show only one piece of evidence at a time. One video that Mr. Buterman played as evidence failed to produce the audio commentary needed to make his point.

Its hard to blame the Justice Department when their internal IT policies are such that the best tool for the job is not the prime objective for each asset purchased - but rather block purchasing at lowest price (not cost, that’s something different that very few businesses actually track).
We are currently in the stage of looking for a place to buy in Sydney and one of my core requirements is space for a basic herb and vegie patch. I really like having a productive garden - and if I had to have something more traditional, it’d be stacked with natives (plus gardenias - a childhood favourite from my Grandmothers garden).
Interesting to note, however, that the “viability” that is being referred to isn’t the benefits to a household of being able to grow some (note: it will always just be “some” in an urban setting), but rather, with viable being defined as:
small-scale commercial aquaponics is commercially viable in an urban setting
Any non-commercial benefit by the very nature of the investigation is excluded - like teaching your children about where the food on your table comes from, or the non-monetary pleasure it brings.
Holy shit - just rediscovered Binary Bonsai!
For those who don’t know, Michael Heilemann was one of the theme builders of Wordpress with K2 and Kubrick.
Ah memories.
If those services don’t trust me enough to give me an RSS feed, why should I trust them with my data?

While Jeremy Keith is prone to hyperbole at times, this summation is a pretty good one.
Unfortunately, non-geeks don’t quite get it - and management doesn’t care.
Much like working in the enterprise.
What If? seems a tad morbid at the moment - everything ends in death.

Lucid moment - until you read the rest of her diatribes.
For example, conversations which take place over iMessage and FaceTime are protected by end-to-end encryption so no one but the sender and receiver can see or read them. Apple cannot decrypt that data. Similarly, we do not store data related to customers’ location, Map searches or Siri requests in any identifiable form.
