That comment totally got it. When S. Hawking said, philosophy is dead, he was right, was death for him, the the gross of the world still doesn't understand what essentially philosophy is, and more important, how it can help you, therefore , when people will start questioning basic behevoirs and trying to understand basic things then , philopsohy will have reach the end , which is teaching the humans to think by themselves . At least this is what I think.

I think Apple is doing the right thing. The error lays in the user, a) don't rememebr my security questions .... eh well... B) Apple provides ways to restore everything, two factor, email recovery etc etc, if you didn't take care of your own security for 7 years, what are you crying about? Sometimes I don't get users.

A) Remove this post B) Contact, by phone an apple employee *your region. C) I am serious about this, fly to Their offices to solve it. prove them that you are not doing anything worng, they need that. Did they shutted you down becuase you are making profits out of a digital asset without apple purchase?

The only thing that I don't get is this concept of free Apps ( software) , we don't deserve to be paid for our work as a software developers? and btw, all this "free apps" , all of them, have inside tracking frameworks such a google tracking services, mixpanel , you name it. So in the fantasy world that you are trying to achieve , I dislike as well what big, tech are doing with our data, you would have to create your own Store with strict polices of non tracking , and still you would not be able , because they will track you in their servers, so, unfortunately as you know, the battle is mostly lost.

And open source would not solve anything, we all know that google is tracking us (always) and we go with it, we don't need to read the code, is an open secret.

5 years seems like... short time, as a reminder, 16 years ago the best video game system was Nintendo 64, in 2006 mobile phone were anything near what we have today, Tesla autopilot was first offered in 2014, 3 years ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if by 2019 full autopilot is a everyday thing

It will, but how many accidents per minute are there by drivers in the world? And we don’t say, puff I don’t trust drivers. Somehow we accept dying by human errors better than by a computer, somehow I always hear, look the computer failed , like if you in that situation as human wouldn’t have done it. I don’t know, I embrace the future , if compouters tomorrow are able to code and My job as a engenieer becomes obsolete, welcome.

Didn’t NASA land a robot in mars without testing just base on simulations and law of physics , mainly because they couldn’t do in other way. Of course computers are a tool and not a silver bullet , but I trust more the computational power of a computer and the path taken base on algorithms in dangerous situations than a fragile human being

As a developer I was about to give you an elaborated reply but I'm gonna simplify it.

Do you trust more your calculator when you have to perform simple operations like sums , multiplication or square root , or you trust your self with a paper and pen more?

The calculator is a board with written code by humans. Then please, do you think Space X does all their calculations by hand or base on computer simulations using well known and tested algorithms

It will take a while, as I said, because people won't trust it. then you need sometime for humans to see it as normal, and comprehend than a computer is better than them at driving, and is safer for them if they don't drive.

If people get mad at uber for killing taxi, imagine how mad they will be when uber will kill taxi drivers, probably in less than 5 years. Now imagine Tesla telling us, you know what? you don't need Truck drivers anymore, which we don't. Then the rage would be ...

Instead of designing cities (the world) base on cars , we will design cities base on the next transportation method, which in my opinion will be autonomous. we won't own cars, for what do you want a car? you won't need it. I think is obvious it just needs someone to push the rest, will be tesla? I don't know, but the car (truck) economy is not sustainable in my opinion.
