Since we're just making up statements, I guarantee that Apple would never voluntarily disclose this issue if it was reported privately. So Full Disclosure is the only way to put Apple's feet to the fire, as it's the only way in which this issue would have had any visibility whatsoever.

I'm sure Apple will in the future.
Anyone can call CPS for just about anything, and having someone pick through your home and point out every little flaw, with the threat of taking your kids away is a real issue. Please don't downplay it, and don't downplay how shitty people can be to each other.
Light can move about 300 meters in one millionth of a second. It's easy enough to find a store where the parking lot is well within that distance from the middle of the store.
So whatever system that goes into place would need to possibly have accuracy down to the 1us level or smaller.

Chocolately never distributed Fiddler packages. This is just a basic misunderstanding of how Chocolately works.
Those drivers are not open source, and did not allow for distribution. So Linux distributions included scripts to download from the public sources (provided by Broadcom), and run the install. The only software "distributed" by the OS provider, was a simple download script (probably less than a couple dozen lines).
If you are Ok with that, then note that that is what Chocolately does. I linked to the actual source code of the Chocolately package in another comment if you want to see what it does.
Which is not to say that Postman is not good at what it does do.
"wget https://www.telerik.com/docs/default-source/fiddler/fiddlers... && fiddlersetup.exe"
redistribute their packages
Chocolately wasn't redistributing the Fiddler packages[0].

The two stated reasons (again, likely just citing Telerik's request), are "they own the ip" and "it's not public" are just bogus. Linking to a publicly accessible resource doesn't have anything to do with IP (using someone's trademark to accurately describe the thing or direct people to it is not a crime, at least in the US), and "it's not public" is just false, as shown.
All in all, seems like a cave on Chocolatey's part. Particularly since they have a whole section of their FAQ dedicated to vendor distribution rights[0], which goes through pains to show that most of the time, there is no distribution at all (since it's just automation scripts).
This is about as silly as Telerik saying that I can't write:
"curl https://www.telerik.com/docs/default-source/fiddler/fiddlers...
[0] - https://chocolatey.org/docs/package-triage-process#are-you-a...
The URL in question[0] provides a 200 response and an executable without requiring authorization/authentication. That's a particularly weird definition of "not public"

I addressed the comment you made, not the comment you didn't make.
Let's say the total GDP over the last 40 years was 300 trillion dollars. Also, let's say Bill Gates's wealth is 100 billion dollars (for ease of calculation).
100B / 300T = 0.003 = .3% of 40 years of GDP
Let's say that the average population of the US during that 40 year period was 170M[0].
170M * 40 years = 6.8B person-years of work (PYoW).
Bill gates contributed 40 PYoW to the GDP, which is 0.000000059% of the GDP.
However, he captured .3% of the GDP as current wealth (not including wealth spent during that 40 years)
That means his wealth capture is 5 million times the "average".
That 'tiny sliver' is anything but.
So as soon as that first fare is picked up (if not sooner), then the renter is in breach of contract. Any insurance from the rental agency is now void, and without special personal insurance waivers, the driver is now driving uninsured.
That is both illegal, and all liability will now be 100% on the driver.
So if someone is going to do that, then they need to calculate in the risk of an accident/arrest and all of the full liability that goes with that.
While I don't know if there is or not, these studies of the results of the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombs[0] shows that the effects were limited to those currently pregnant, and without 1200 meters of ground zero of the blast. With no effect on the future children born to parents exposed to ionizing radiation of those levels.

"The many studies that were conducted after the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki determined that some of the risks that the public perceives to be associated with radiation exposure are non-existent, while others are in fact matters of concern. The cancer risk for children who were in-utero when their mothers were exposed is higher than it would be for others without this exposure, but children who were conceived after their parents were exposed to radiation had no increased cancer risk. Similarly for both birth defects and mental retardation, it was found that in-utero exposure possibly increased the rate of incidence of these conditions, but results from all studies are inconclusive, except for the case of pregnant mothers within 1200m of the hypocenter. All of the in-utero children born to these mothers experienced mental retardation. All three of these cases found that there is no increased risk of these conditions if the parents of the child were exposed to the ionizing radiation of the atomic bomb (child was not conceived at the time of the exposure)."
Alzheimer's isn't like being dead though. It's an incredibly painful reminder to everyone you've every loved that you are no longer "you", but they have to take care of you every day anyways. Painfully re-opening wounds every time you don't remember who they are, or hurt yourself from confusion. It's a continuous living purgatory for your loved ones, with you gone but not gone.
I'd rather live the best, unhealthiest life, and hope I'm dead dead from other causes before I can cause so much pain to the ones I love.
No one disputes that a modern computer implementing a Turing machine is going to calculate faster than manually manipulating MTG cards.
However, better here means 'more expressive'. Turing completeness is concerned with whether or not a computational system is 'universal' or not. In other words, whether that computational system can compute everything that another computational system could. If two systems can both be shown to simulate a Turing machine, then that means that those systems could compute the same exact set of things (given enough time).
So with regards to expressiveness (or the things a system could theoretically compute), since a modern computer can implement a Turing machine and a MTG game can implement a Turing machine, they are both the same, and thus neither is 'better'. In other words, the addition of electricity doesn't effect what a system could theoretically compute.
What's interesting is actual MTG gameplay uses a HUGE amount of shortcuts on every play, because saying every single thing you and the opponent have to do during each step and phase would be incredibly time consuming.
That's a benefit to the employer, that probably is not a benefit to you, since you would likely want to quit on your own terms.
Another quick example is knowing that your employees are researching how to unionize, and thus knowing to bring in anti-union resources.
I'm sure there are more.
Without the individual mandate, insurance companies have three options for pre-existing conditions. First, they can not insure them (which would be illegal). Second, they can raise rates for everyone who does have insurance. Third, lobby to have the pre-existing conditions section of the ACA repealed (which will now be much more palatable politically because in the mean time everyone rates will have sky-rocketed in the mean time).
Since #2 is the likely outcome in the short term if this bill passes. Startup employees who have health insurance may see a windfall in the future with the options change, but they'll lose out month after month with increased insurance costs.
But #3 would be up next, and the insurance companies will lobby hard, noting that they have been clear since day 1 that covering pre-existing conditions is only possible with an individual mandate. So long term, repealing the individual mandate and not covering pre-existing conditions look pretty much the same.
Indeed, the text is so clear, it's hard to argue that there is any actual room for disagreement:
3. The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.
The treaty will cease to apply upon a withdrawal agreement, or after 2 years, or after unanimous agreement to extend the period.
The only action that ends up with anything reasonably resembling a "reversible" Article 50 is for the UK to somehow convince all of the EU member states to unanimously agree to an unending extension. Meaning that the UK would be in a permanent state of leaving the EU.
Apple employs the original developer of CUPS, which is Michael Sweet.
Apple employees (Michael Sweet) made 150 commits in the last year and a half. The next contributor has 7. He has 50k+ additions/deletions. The next contributor has 8k.
It's safe to say that Apple develops CUPS.
edit:
Michael Sweet himself in this announcement also uses the terms "Apple is excited to announce" and "we"[0]

Isn't that exactly the VC model?
For emergencies where the passenger is more responsive, an "onstar"-like emergency button that calls emergency support staff would probably suffice.
