Well let’s just start by openly publishing all of the information any Heat Initiative employees, donors and their families have in iCloud.

Rare Apple Earthquake Survival Kit contains timeless safety advice
The damage would be very widespread due to the lax building requirements compared west coast earthquake standards. The differing geology of the eastern U.S. allows quake shock waves to travel further. The New Madrid quakes were felt throughout the east coast and violent enough to ring church bells in Boston 1,200 miles away.JP234 said:I thought we were safe from earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes and volcanoes living in the Midwest. Then I heard about the New Madrid earthquakes. A series of quakes estimated between 7.2 and 8.2, followed by an aftershock of about 7.4. Changed the course of the Mississippi River in 1811-12. The area was virtually unpopulated at the time, so there were no casualties recorded. It remains the strongest continental American quake east of the Mississippi in recorded history.
A quake that size in that area today would kill thousands, possibly tens of thousands. The 1906 San Francisco was estimated at 7.9, and 3,000 people were killed. That New Madrid Fault runs through major cities such as Memphis, Tennessee, St. Louis, Missouri, Little Rock, Arkansas and Evansville, Indiana.
And all that would be a speed bump compared to the cataclysm if the Yellowstone super volcano came back to life and erupted. Global warming would instantly become the least of our worries.

Apple World Trade Center anti-union practices ruled illegal by Labor Board
Not surprised. Apple Retail management receives no real training unless they got it at Best Buy or Gap.

Apple has a stranglehold on the TSMC 3nm chip supply in 2023
kellie said:Please define what wafer cycle time is.From the web:
A simple way to look at cycle time is to apply a probability theory called Little’s Law in the fab. In this case, cycle time equals work-in-process (WIP) over the start rate, according to KLA-Tencor. For example, if a fab has 12,000 lots, and it processes 4,000 lots per month, the total cycle time is 3 months.
or
Cycle time is the amount of time it takes to process a wafer lot in a fab from start to finish. An advanced logic process could have from 600 to 1,000 steps or more.

Apple accused of retribution in firing five union activists
There are 500 Apple retail stores and every one is different. They range from urban flagships to small suburban stores with 1/10th the traffic. I worked 15 years in a nice upscale suburban store that grew from 29 employees to over 130. Evolving from 12 hour iPhone launch days to servicing a high percentage online pickups. Where staff had to know iPods, Macs and camcorders to 5 major products lines and a myriad of services. I worked with some very unskilled and some very skilled leaders. I also worked with some very manipulative employees. So when I read these stories I wonder what mix of store, leadership and employees am I hearing about. Most often I lean toward a team that has some highly manipulative employees with unskilled leadership. Those stores are no fun at all.
