The metric to beat isn't "is self driving dangerous, yes or no?" The metric to beat is "is self driving on average substantially safer than human driving?". Once you beat that metric, it would be insane not to allow

After looking into it more, I see that the instant credit system is the culprit. 1. Apple instantly gave Dustin the credit (because he opted into paying monthly). From Apple's site: "If you pay monthly: We’ll apply the value as an

I think you missed the point where Dustin mentioned this: "Very soon after, it seems that Apple simply added the amount of the credit I received when I purchased the M1 MacBook Pro to my Apple Card balance." Timeline is as follows

Wrong. If Dustin used a Chase card for the trade in/payment for the Mac, this situation would have resulted in the exact same way.

Chargeback is to establish that Apple can shutdown your services if Apple thinks you owe them money. Dustin was erroneously credited for something from Apple, and now Apple shutdown his account because they want the money back. This would h

SIWA will still work for two weeks should Apple decide to "terminate all related functionality". Apple did not decide to "terminate all related functionality".

If you read Tim's tweet, it says in the policy "Ability to ENABLE Apple services [like] Sign in with Apple". This makes sense as Epic no longer has the ability to enable SIWA on new apps. Says nothing about termination of SIW

How do you know Uber and Grab? (Grubhub?) were never rejected? You're assuming they passed every single review which I think it's highly unlikely. Considering 40% of all submissions in the past week (shown on Apple's website)

Judging from the screenshots in your tweet, your first rejection was failing to follow the rules that stated if you have a third party sign in, you're supposed to use Sign In with Apple too. That's not on Apple. Regardless, I don&

So far the last several Macbooks have throttled after X minutes of rendering. The only real surprise is that the 2018 Macbooks ended up with worse rendering time. But it does make sense since the i9 is a hotter chip and combine that with th

Apple didn't advertise a minimum time guaranteed to sustain 2.9ghz with 100% load. It's not much different than my iPhone shutting down after recording 4k60 video for 2 minutes in the hot summer sun at 110F degrees (in fact, that&
