It's baffling to me that Apple doesn't get get more attention from regulators. They're very blatant in behavior which is explicitly illegal in current antitrust law. They 1) formed a cartel with book publishers to increase ebook prices, 2) formed a cartel with multiple other tech companies to suppress software engineer wages, and now they're 3) using a dominant position in one market to enter into another.
The other tech companies do things which one could argue should be illegal... Apple does things which already are illegal.
The UK equivalent of the NSA invented both RSA encryption and DH key exchange years before any of Diffie, Hellman, Rivest, Shamir, or Adleman did their work. No Fields medal per se, but two Turing awards...
I think the odds that the largest employer of mathematicians in the world is secretly sitting on ground breaking fundamental math is pretty high.
Tldr- commodities trader accidentally specified physical delivery for several thousand tons of coal; very surprised when the barges show up at their waterfront office.
The UI is good wrt readability; but the statistics, not so much.
2 concrete improvements would be 1) to change the color coding to cases per population (right now it seems to simply be a hard cutoff of 100 for orange, 1000 for red--which makes comparisons between unequal-sized geographies misleading), and 2) show a smoothed version of the curves (e.g an exponential moving average or somesuch) to handle noisiness in the day to day data.
But, yeah, much easier to read when it isn't overlapping blood red circles.
My previous employer and my current one (both Fortune-50 tech companies) each had quiet policies that prospective job candidates who had Huawei on their resume needed extra clearing before they could even interview. Reading through the indictment makes the policies seem less paranoid or perhaps even not paranoid enough.
