  • Ground broken on Foxconn's first US factory, rumored to supply iPhone screens for Apple

    These types of highly subsidized deals are nothing more than extortion and misappropriation of limited financial resources. With $4 Billion in subsidies for 13,000 jobs (not 15,000 per the idiot with the shovel), that works out to almost $308,000 per job! This is insane! Who and what will suffer? EVERYONE in the state, education, healthcare, roads, bridges, local services... etc etc etc.

  • How do a pair of HomePods compare to a $180 soundbar?

    Never buy the first generation of anything.
    Ridiculous comment. The issues discussed here are solved simply by software and firmware updates, not the hardware. These speakers are amazing, and only need the software / firmware tweaks.

    As a 10 year+ daily bike commuter in a major US city...My Giro helmet, 750 lumen headlight & tail light cost $75 less.

    I wish safety were as simple as having indicators.
    Honestly, the best investment i made was in a $20 air horn (refillable with my bike pump) 115 dB and it has the tone of a big truck.
    It has been the only thing, apart from a u-lock swinging from my bar end, that has kept drivers at bay.

    20+ years of bicycle and motorcycle riding has taught me that bright lights all day & night are important, but being heard is more important once the car is cutting into your lane.
    Every time i have been hit  (walking pedestrian, bicycle & motorcycle) the driver's excuse is "i didn't see you."
    I lived in China for 5 years and also used a similar air horn that you filled with bicycle pump. It was an essential piece of equipment to ride on Chinese roads with their horrible drivers - it scared the shit out of drivers and saved me more than a few times as drivers tend to come out of side streets there without even looking! And no regard for bicycles whatsoever!!!!
