If only California could move its capital to a cheaper location like Sacramento, that would solve all its problems.

US$ 450,000,000.00 divided by 80,000 employees = US$ 5,625.00 per employee. So let's be super generous here and assume that they spend $5 per bagel + Schmear.

Each Apple employee would have to consume 1,125 bagels each time. Assuming each bagel is 87.4 grams and that each employee eats 1,125 bagels, that would make 210 lbs (or 95 kgs) of bagels consumed per employee each Thursday (not including the Schmear).

Of course, I've made other assumptions. I've assumed that only the full time employees got free bagels, which is probably not the case. And I've assumed that all full time employees, even the ones at retail locations and warehouse locations, all got free bagels (which is probably not the case either).

You're not necessarily hosting people.

Just like putting a for sale sign on a car doesn't mean that you have sold your car.

Listing a property for a particular set of dates, or listing the same property multiple times, doesn't necessarily mean that any of your listings were accepted.

You forgot the sarcasm tag.

Not everyone knows that most of iOS users won't get iOS 8.4 until two or three days from now (June 29th or 30th).

Android users are having similar problems with the Android M Preview. You can install the Android M Preview on a rooted device, some manufacturers will even officially give you access to their official custom Android M ROM, but you can't unroot and then reroot an existing device with Android M Preview on it. If you try to do so, SuperSU will go into an infinite loop.

You mean don't use your own birthdate and don't answer security questions truthfully.

Because according to the link you provided, passwords weren't the weakest part of iCloud's negligent security.

That's because you're not a celebrity.

If you're an obscenely rich and famous celebrity, and your agent agrees that you will show off your Apple products to your fans, or if you're a famous reporter and your newspaper didn't make the mistake of printing iPhone-related bad news, you'll get invited to Apple's parties and you'll receive receive many of Apple's gadgets for free.

I recall the FDA was created because some idiot used paint thinner to mix a batch of medicine which then killed a bunch of people.

If fighting against false advertising and placebo sugar pills are parts of its mandate now, it must be because of scope creep. Now I can understand the FDA regulating Chinese medicine for instance. After all, some herbs and some natural remedies can be as potent and as dangerous as real medicine, especially when people are self-prescribing, but in the case of homeopathic medicine, that really isn't the case, its real intent is to do no harm, and to make use of the placebo effect. Remove placebo sugar pills and people are going to die as a result. The placebo effect is not negligible.

That makes more sense.

If FedEx drivers can be independent contractors, so can Ubers.

There must be some confusion on your part.

This is not an open source project and this is not a web site. Any app they make that takes advantage of the native functionality of the camera is most likely going to be in a black box, whatever language they choose.

And one would think that Facebook hired enough developers that can program in C++ to have proper code reviews.

According to the Play Store, it allows me to install it on all my Lollipop devices:

My T-Mobile LG G2, my Sony Xperia Z Ultra, and my Nexus 9.

May be, they're doing a staged rollout thing. Staged rollouts are a good idea from a technical perspective. The marketing department hates them, but on a popular app they can avoid you thousands of negative ratings/reviews because there is always someone, whether it's an impatient higher up or an impatient developer, that tries to make one tiny little change to the final build that doesn't have the time to go through proper testing.

The system works well enough for you guys.

I doubt that. It's difficult to get gps readings indoors or underground where the transaction might take place.

This is evil. The last time I tried contacting Pay Pal's customer support. I waited three hours on the line. And I wasn't even calling them as a consumer, I was calling them as a business that made them a lots of money. I can only imagine what's the actual wait time for an actual consumer of little value to them that wants to be taken off their robocall list.

Blackberry-like keyboards on Android phones have been around for quite a while.

Motorola has a few. They're mostly geared toward business users, but a consumer can still find them if he looks for them.

We fire the guy for speaking his mind. We replace him with a female scientist.

And we pretend that this very kind of problem doesn't happen in any of the female-dominated professions.

What you're implying may have been true 10 to 15 years ago, but things have changed. The video game industry knows the female market for games is a growth market.

The only successful game developers and game designers I personally know are women. The one successful male game developer I know got out of the video gaming industry 10 years ago. I personally know many other male game developers as well, but those are just cogs in a machine and they're not successful by any definition of the term.
