Perhaps costlier but wouldn't it be more sustainable ecologically?

"Haskell is optimized for highly productive individuals"
"Java is optimized for teams of hundreds of mediocre programmers who are individually replaceable and insignificant"
Passwords are not the only sensitive info that can be stored in a database and most of the time, that info isn't hashed.
Not exactly confidence inspiring.
What we should do instead: - Better insulate houses - Make smaller living spaces - No one needs 2000 sq/ft of living space.
I sure hope this is just a red herring Apple threw at the media to have them trip on their shoelaces.
From the privacy policy: "We provide a service that indexes and accelerates delivery of your email to your device. That means that our service retrieves your incoming and outgoing email messages and securely pushes them to the app on your device."
So it basically doesn't work if you're trying to reach an on-premise Exchange server via VPN.
A driver looking out for cops is a distracted driver. You shouldn't be worried if you are following traffic and going at a reasonable speed. That's not the case at the moment.
In the real world, most apps don't change database engines during their lifetime. You wait for the rewrite and then you pick a new engine.
If you stick to ANSI compliant SQL, you should be fine when porting over databases. It's not perfect but it'll get you most of the way.
IBM makes complex expensive software that people are still trying to get rid of in the enterprise. Apple doesn't need a sales force for iPads, most top execs have been demanding iPads for the last 2 years already, it's just IT that's slow to adopt it because they fear loss of control with BYOD.
Only upside here is stuff like Watson and the likes. I can see IBM providing back-end services to Apple but that's about it.
It reminds me of a great post by Coda Hale a couple of years back where he was explaining why he switched back to Java from Scala (which was hot shit on HN at the time):

"The world has yet to take me aside and ask me for my opinion of it, and in the past few years I’ve found that it’s far more profitable to build things rather than tilt at windmills."
Very few people are "cured". Most get life extensions ranging from 6 months to 5 years.
It's better to concentrate on letting one live their last days on their own terms. Meds and hospitals are pretty good at keeping people "alive" medically speaking. But all that extra time usually comes at a price.
It really depends on where you are in your life. I'd think that parents with young kids would want that extra 3 months. If you're older and your kids are older, perhaps it would be best to just let go.
It's not the quantity of years that you live that's important, it's the quality.
I don't like when people focus 1 specific aspect of a country. I've seen Canada and Scandinavia also mentioned in replies further below. You have to look at the country as a whole.
What people forget to mention is all the other less desirable traits of an economy. For example, I'm from Quebec, Canada and there are plenty of people that question the sustainability of our free health care with the aging population. There are tons of French people coming from France because they can't find a job over there.
