This has never been necessary for an IPO.

It's in the form of stock options, which won't be worth any particularly noteworthy amount unless the IPO goes really well.
I couldn't rely on them to have everything I'd need
This is a problem with Lidl in Sweden as well - great prices and all, but there's a large amount of things I'm interested in buying that they quite simply don't stock. As such, I go to Lidl for all of my 'primary' grocery shopping, and supplement with secondary shopping in other supermarkets and speciality shops.
This is only really viable since I have a Lidl 10 minutes away by bike and another supermarket 2 minutes away by foot. Given what I know about the state of urban planning in the U.S, I imagine that having to go to two different stores will be a significantly higher penalty than here.
Their attempt to maliciously comply is both against the spirit of the law - making it a violation in the EU regardless - and the letter of the law: the text mentions that they can't charge for this.
Time for a nice 10% of global revenues-fine. That'll do some good in the coffers of the EU.
You upload the binary to the App Store, and as a part of the release process they may inspect the binary to figure out what it's doing.
They of course don't do that for everything as it's a bit complicated to do for everything, but it can be an effective means to for example figure out when an app is calling an API in a prohibited manner.
1.8B was the fine they got for anticompetitive behaviour with regards to Apple Music, which is not an insignificant amount for that business unit.
The fines for DMA-violations go up to 10% of global revenue for first-time violations and 20% of global revenue for repeat violations. I would love to see Apple continue fucking around and letting Apple find out in the form of a fine of that magnitude. It would be so damn sweet.
I really love the mandatory fishing license-bit. Truly a peak Futurama-episode!
It will be faster, because they are moving off Xamarin. Big win in all regards.
It's criminal to threaten to kill people in Canada, right? Maybe this guy needs some time in jail to cool down his overheated head, combined with a permanent loss of drivers license.
Among the ways you can do layoffs, this is one of the better ones for sure. People who are kind of checked out already anyway can get a nice paycheck on their way out and start looking for something new, while people who still have something important to get out of the job get the option to stay.
Consent matters!
Are you talking about writing them off?
Options come with the obligation to pay for the underlying asset, so unless they are valued above the strike price, they are effectively worse than worthless.
