A side-effect of a 4+ satellite fix is both extremely accurate and extremely precise computation of current time (in addition to location). (GPS sats broadcast time, receivers triangulate.) Some high-quality receivers (Trimble, probably others) attempt to count the number of pseudowavelengths back to the satellite, including relativistic, gravimetric and atmospheric effects. http://www.trimble.com/gps_tutorial/sub_phases.aspx

Either they don't want to release it or they can't (a third-party contract/NDA), at least right now. Open sourcing is often seen by big-businesses as potentially "helping" competitors undermine, replicate, sue, make interoperable wares which may threaten the "Golden Goose." It sucks, but that's the situation... lawyers can't force them to release other code unless they're caught TiVoizing some GPL 3 code or something similar.

You'd think Apple would want to invent the next cool kids bandwagon, maybe invite some community goodwill and crowdsource maybe some new features like fixing time synchronization to have a high-precision ability or working on another actual replacement for HFS+, or adding Windows compatibility. Maybe developer pressure could sway them, and wouldn't it be a good PR move to eventually relent after a long, drawn-out public debate which buys some time for the Apple Car or whatever else is cooking next to be readied? Ive and Cook have massive shoes to fill, which they and the Apple team helped fill, but many people don't think that right now, at least not yet.

"They almost always pair with the opposite color morph for breeding. The two color morphs occur in approximately equal numbers. Both male and female white-striped birds are more aggressive than tan-striped birds during the breeding season."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-throated_sparrow

"Four sexes" sounds click-baitier than "two morphs." It's not like they have unique procreation, other than effectively two subspecies whom cannot interbreed (they both have males and females respectively). It's interesting a species can diverge with a large mutation and split the gene pool suddenly. More intriguing is how enough of a population could grow from the first individual and thrive.

EDIT: gotta make you wonder if there were a large forest fire, volcano, human hunters or other event that almost wipe them out, and that the survivors went through a population bottleneck, perhaps picking up the mutation along the way.

The big questions which need further research:

0. Beyond socio/psychopathy, are there genetic markers for criminal tendencies?

1. Do unconscious biases of other people motivate certain looking people to engage in crime?

Robert Reich would agree per John Kenneth Galbraith at a higher level of abstraction. Strong, nearly equal-strength parties is better for democracy than a lopsided near-monopoly.

In an ideal world, a parliamentary/coalition system maybe better because it promotes greater socio-political evolution and forces parties/leaders to put forth better platforms. There are other pros/cons as well.

Conclusion: pipe-dream

Gad Saad and Jonathan Haidt bring sensibility to causes and effects of the Karpman drama triangle that displaced actual, past revolutionary action on college campuses / social sciences with mostly an imposter, going through the motions but stuck bikeshedding (i.e., microaggressions, SJWing) rather than attacking major social problems. There's also helicopter parenting, lack of movement leadership, fall of SFDS, extended adolescence, for-profit universities catering to student whims and other aspects which compound the situation. Critical thinking skills, respectful debate without onerous preconditions (i.e., demanding apologies/subservience) and proportionality of response could be emphasized more in education.

It was only old because they let it get that way.

Mine: (2) 960 GiB SSDs, 16 GiB RAM, Sugru'ed FireWire port and optical slot.

The processor and screen are old, but they're not critical to what I use it for. New ones lack MagSafe and force you to pay for Apple upgrades and more accessories to haul around to do what was previously possible.

Anyhow, it's the last Apple computer I'll likely ever buy, until they get their products back to something people actually use as opposed to a Bentley for a Sunday drive.
