That's the approach I took.

But that's only because my model does not allow you to delete a Wi-Fi Configuration! You cannot even change it to a fake one because it will not save the change unless it connects.

Itâ(TM)s a, famously, fake data sheet.

One non-obvious reason for a tiered approach is psychology.

If there is no cost to hitting the limit, people will mindlessly consume. As soon as there is a dollar value associated with blowing it, it'll cause people to do self-throttling.

The ancillary revenue probably isn't enough to help improve infrastructure; it's there to shape behavior.

Laws tend to get more complex over time, not less. I get the clear idea from the text that the authors would like to be able to hit up companies for fines at will, and this law will allow them to do it.

I've read a lot of this regulation and I think it's probably impossible to comply with. It's also very light on technical guidance for compliance. There are only a few passing mentions of encryption and nothing at all about particular standards. In other words, there is no specific requirement to encrypt data in transit or at rest, but rather a vague suggestion that encryption in general might be a good idea. On the other hand, with respect the right to be forgotten, which is really a right to request erasure, it's unclear whether deleting keys to encrypted data constitutes erasure. It could be read to require actually writing over all the copies of the bits.

Yes, better to do the right thing in the end. Even better to do the right thing to begin with. It's a good reason to be leery of him.

The article doesn't claim that web apps are as good as native. It claims that standards are advancing rapidly and that they *will* be as good as native, at which point the benefits of the web become compelling.

no, that's not what FFOS is. FFOS takes web sites and packages them up as apps that are delivered through a store and they run locally on the device, something like Cordova apps. The story (and I ought to know because I wrote it) discusses actual mobile web sites, e.g.. m.slashdot.org as opposed to a Slashdot app. It's not hard to give the app experience by putting an icon on the screen and running the browser full-screen

This uninformed stereotype of twitter activity is outdated.

The vast majority of tweets today are links and retweets. Live example, I just looked at the 10 most recent tweets in my stream. The first 9 are links and the 10th is a comment about WeChat.

How do they insulate themselves from generic competition by stopping sales of their own brand name? If it's off-patent and there's demand then generic companies will offer it. If there's a sufficient advantage to the new one then doctors will order it in spite of the cost.

If he thinks he can make it successful as a commercial enterprise, why shouldn't he?
