Damn, that is a picture of me right now, Overwatch. No deviation from reality at all. (It's grant writing time in Spiny's research laboratory.) Well done, doode.

sketchy,
if that cost is the independent variable you have no data to ascertain that it's curve is exponential.
Exponential decay is quite common in Nature and Processes but exponential growth other than within a very small region is not sustainable.

sketchy,
Such Assertiveness. Wow wow wow Where did you pick up this useless skill?
If you think I proved your point you have just substantiated that you know very little if any about exponential growth. You do know how to spell the word. You can talk the tall but you cannot walk ....
You are a great wind bag with hedging skills!!

spiny Norman,
the keynoted source SEC filings would sound pretty good.
But isn't your source Motley Fool?

Locker,
his responses appear to be based on actual knowledge of the law...
you say appear and I understand that word use as he has a very assertive skill in sounding like he has made a point but one sees in these innuendo remarks that he never puts the spike through the coffin when you follow him through his song and dance. He just makes another groundless assertion rather than stand and deliver. You can see how evasive he was on the subject of exponential growth. If that subject[exponential ] has nothing to do with the case as he later claims, why did he first present it?

locker,
he appears to have gone where as you and I have hung around in these discussions through thick and thin.
And by the way your off the wall juxtapositions always get me laughing. And so the pun like comparison of sketchy.

exponential growth
...an argument which has squat to do with the topic. It's like arguing that someone misspelled a word; low quality debate. His point was quite clear, whether or not you agree with that point or not. If you cannot see his point for your forest of definitions....you might consider the fact that you're wound a little too tightly.

If those shooters had a safety deposit box and the bank refused to attempt to open the box, claiming that opening the box would cause them to lose their customers trust, or more outrageously, that opening the box would encourage thieves to break into their bank, would you all feel the same way?
If Apple's encryption is genuinely impossible or unduly difficult to break, they should be proud to say that. Otherwise, I can't see how they can simply refuse to help.

spiny Norman,

But isn't your source Motley Fool?
If they disagreed with the broad consensus in the financial press, I might have more reason to doubt Motley Fool's reporting of the SEC filings. But they agree, so I don't.
If you don't think that's right, no one's stopping you from digging out the SEC numbers yourself.

Not an applicable analogy.
Let me tell you that hackers the world over are currently working to put the feather in their cap of being the first to disable the encryption as we type.
Let us HOPE to hell they do not succeed, because if/when someone does, all your phone are belong to us(so to speak)

"San Bernardino County, who owned the iPhone... paid for but never installed a feature that would have allowed the FBI to easily and immediately unlock the phone..."
http://www.sbsun.com/general-news/20160221/common-software-would-have-let-fbi-unlock-terrorists-iphone
Easily and immediately. Wow. One S.B. County cubicle-tard could have probably handled it himself, without even setting foot outside of his government cubicle.
But no. If you're in government, YOU don't do the work - especially if it involves thinking ahead, or just thinking - you use force and coercion to make someone else, like Apple, do your work.

It seems you are the one that is wound quite tightly to have been standing on the side lines and then jump into this topic and further show that you were not paying attention to the particular topic happening then. Rising Costs.
you dirty dog fighter

Locker,
are you saying we would have just as good of security with Samsung since nothing with them is traceable?
