  • Apple's $900 million tariff bill in Q3 is a sign of Tim Cook's supply chain mastery

    I'm impressed that Apple can manage to import a majority of US iPhones from India and the rest of its products from Vietnam. The real scandal is why they haven't tried to diversify to more countries sooner (and also the AI fiasco).

    Actually, neither of those is a scandal at all, and you thinking that they are reveals more about your ignorance of how difficult this is to manage than it does about Apple.

  • Apple supplier Pegatron says tariffs will mean third world-style shortages for US

    Oh, look, calling his tariffs “nonsensical” and using scare quotes.  Shocker.
    Um, they are nonsensical; they are literally nonsense. And the quotation marks are entirely appropriate here, because Trump is trying to claim that the tariffs are "reciprocal", but they aren't. Words have meanings. In this case, the use of that word is plainly a lie. And that's what the quotation marks are signifying here—use of a word in a context where that word is hilariously untrue. 

    How about you just keep quiet until you have a legitimate point to make.

    They could easily have a touch Mac. 
    Yes, they could. Except that that would be idiotic, for the same reasons that have existed for 15 years since people started saying thoughtless, stupid things about this.

    Why on earth would I want to run an AI model?  Locally or otherwise?
    If you don't already know, perhaps you should pause on commenting in public until you've spent 15 seconds figuring it out.

    Suffice it to say that many people have very good reasons to do this.

    "As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to look before we leap,'" executive producer and star Sudeikis said in the release, "in season four, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it's exactly where they're meant to be."

    What a bizarre message.  I predict this will continue the final season trajectory of the show to the absolute pits.
    I got about 2 episodes into S3 and quit. Season 2 was already nowhere near season one - having the 50-something team owner sleeping with an early 20's player was a true WTF plot concept, and had it been man/woman instead of woman/man, that would have been quite differently handled - and 3 was just unwatchable.

    OTOH, Slow Horses is excellent.
    Waddingham was around 47 at that time and the actor playing Sam was 25. That's 40s and mid-20s. If you have to exaggerate to make your already lame point, that kinda shows you didn't have a point at all. Also, if you are too closed-minded to handle that kind of relationship, that's a problem with you. Not the show. Obviously.
