Despite what you claim you clearly didn't read the link the GP posted. It's a massive list of stuff that's disabled that people would find an iDevice barely useful without.

It's not a "massive list" and the things mentioned are barely an inconvinience (oh noes, Photos drops location details and Facetime doesnt work unless you had contact within 30 days, oh noes). The biggest would be restrictions on the web browser and you can have per-site exclusions.

So what the fuck are you talking about?

I'm surprised you're a fan of the Alien franchise if people making bad decisions that get them or other people killed is a deal-breaker for you.

You clearly aren't a fan. If you were, you'd knew the precise movie where instead of being competent and making the right decisions and getting fucked anyway, the franchise turned to supposedly smart people doing dumb shit all the time.

Trump could sign a peace treaty with Russia tomorrow and /.ers and other American leftists would still bitch about it. "Ooh, of course Agent Krasnov would broker a peace deal with Putin!!

OF COURSE everyone sane would bitch about it - the only "peace treaty" Trump is capable of signing is the utter capitulation suggested by Russia.

I agree it sounds like a bad idea. The stock markets already have tools they deploy during crises that pause trading to give people time to stop and think rather than just react. Having trading stop at the end of the day and other markets around the globe take over gives everyone an automatic long pause to regroup and plan for whatever crisis the markets may be looking at..

Just one problem. Not everyone around the world lives in the same timezone.

Stupid take. The stock market is always forward-looking. If you want your company stock to command a hefty premium, you need to be able to show a believable roadmap to riding major trends into making a lot of money. it's okay if you can't, but still make a lot of money right now and tomorrow. Just don't go Pikachy-face that this is indeed reflected in your stock valuation.

I don't know what they can do about that without breaking their business model

If a business model inherently depends on non-cooperation, opacity, or immunity from justice and harm becomes systemic as a result then that model is not only broken; it is unacceptable.

If you jurisdiction requires communication software vendors to provide law enforcement with a backdoor and/or encryption decryption capabilities, your jurisdisction is not only broken; it is unacceptable.
