Lots of infosec and cybersecurity professionals go. I assume they make up the largest group of attendees.
Re:Apple and Google Face Growing Revolt Over App Store ‘Tax’
on Wednesday August 22, 2018 @04:44PM (#17822002)
Apple Pay and app store/itunes payments are completely separate. I had apple pay set-up for awhile and when I went to purchase an app, itunes wouldn't accept apple pay and I had to re-enter all my CC information into itunes.

The economist agrees with you.

"Imagine if advertising spending really did rise to 1.8% of GDP in America by 2027. Most firms’ costs would have to rise, cutting total corporate profits (excluding those of ad platforms) from about 6.5% to 5.7% of GDP, the kind of drop normally associated with a recession. Alternatively, imagine if the firms in the S&P 500 index (excluding ad platforms) bore all the additional cost of the advertising boom. Their combined return on capital would drop from the present 10% to 8%, at or just below their cost of capital. America Inc would go from being the world’s greatest profit machine to flirting with Japanese-style financial-zombie status"

Note that's not a legal requirement. That's just a policy many companies have to lower the risk of insider trading.

Food for thought on how incredibly biased these effort can be.
Re:Apple is close to acquiring Shazam, sources say
on Friday December 08, 2017 @04:25PM (#15882180)
I thought most companies were moving towards NN for this. Doesn't Shazam rely on a ton of audio processing and not NNs? Seems like a backward move.
Re:Meg Whitman to Step Down as HPE CEO

Can you explain how his links in any way support his argument that D's implement policy specifically to avoid voting R? Seems like you just want to perpetuate a victim-hood narrative that doesn't exist.
Re:Meg Whitman to Step Down as HPE CEO
on Tuesday November 21, 2017 @06:04PM (#15752483)
Not sure what your links have to do with voting D or R. Specifically I don't see how either link has anything to do with "avoiding putting a checkmark next to a (R)"
Re:Tesla's mass firings spread to SolarCity
on Wednesday October 25, 2017 @12:51PM (#15551738)
California is at will but they do have specific laws and procedures for mass firings and layoffs. I think Tesla is trying to skirt these by calling them performance related instead of layoffs. (And to protect their stock price from having to admit they can't afford all their workers.)

No it's preempting going broke. Especially since Elon is one of the combined companies biggest creditors and has his own personal finances deeply entwined with that of the company. (See also Sears / Eddie Lampert)
