The chip shortage will continue under Biden administration. Companies will not manufacture chips in US. They cannot make money. If they try to raise prices they need to double or triple the prices. And this route is not working. Democrats have no concept of capitalism. 

I can guarantee you that President Trump would have also discouraged Intel from building a plant in China. So why make it political? 

A little off topic but Foundation is one of my favorite shows. I don’t understand why some people are saying that it is unfilmable. I totally understand why a movie would be unfilmable because there is just not enough time to cover everything, but a series gives plenty of time to lay everything out. There are actually a large number of tv+ shows I enjoy watching and more are coming out all the time.

It is very distressing how litigious the U.S. is. I just feel very strongly that we should take personal responsibility. The crash was not the fault of the car. It was the fault of the driver. I still, after all of these years, think about the woman who sued McDonald’s because she spilled hot coffee on her lap. I of course believe that people should have the right to sue, but people take it way to far. If people are trespassing on my property without my consent, they should not be allowed to sue me for example.

The difference is if the company states a capability that does not exist and your family member dies using it in the manner they proclaimed.  Then the company is responsible. 

The company is not stating a capability. They chose a very bad marketing name. It absolutely is misleading to call their beta software Full Self Driving. However, the users of the software have to consent to the terms of use which state that the Teslas are not autonomous vehicles and the drivers are supposed to be at full attention at all times and be ready to take over at a moments notice. The people who are not taking their responsibilities seriously as a beta tester shouldn’t be using the software but I just don’t see how that is Tesla’s fault.

Was it privacy or security that convinced Cook to implement a program to scan everyone's photos on iCloud without their permission and without a search warrant?

Like every other cloud storage provider does?  I'm sure they're all just doing it because they want to invade our privacy and not because it's a law enforcement mandate. /s

Were you joking? There is no mandate. If there were a mandate then Apple would have been also required to do it a long time ago like all the other companies have already. That said I think people are exaggerating how bad it would be if Apple implemented their version. I trust Apple.
