I copy-pasted the wrong reply to the window, and corrected it while you were formulating your reply. There’s no way to edit a comment once it has been replied to, so there’s no way for me to put an edit reason. But thanks for the ad hominen

So your argument is that Google values privacy, so it doesn’t operate in China. But if it were to operate in China, it has to obey Chinese laws. Agree or disagree? As for the first part, explain to me how Google values privacy when it circu

Merriam-Webster defines "ban" as "to prohibit especially by legal means". I don't see the problem. If you replace the word "Apple" with "Microsoft" or "Red Hat" or "Canonical"

Yes, which is why Google is still operating in Hong Kong, which is part of China, which is my point. Your's?

And this is how extremism wins. The world's economy has been inter-connected for some time; some part of that computer or phone that you're typing that on, is probably made in China.

Upvoted you. Google is still operating in Hong Kong, which is part of China.

Do you agree that if Congress passes a law that bans phone encryption, Apple would have to comply with it? Yes or no?

Except that it is true that directors face lawsuits about breaches of fiduciary duty frequently enough for it to be not uncommon. A suit was filed recently naming Eddy Cue for violating anti-trust law relating to the settlement for the e-bo

Interesting that neither the article nor a single comment mentioned AT&T's efforts to undermine net neutrality. That would be their ace up the sleeve. And they can get away with it because this administration is corrupt to the core

And Apple is not a "fast growing business"? Have you looked into their "Services" category? IG's REVENUE is claimed to be $10 billion. Apple's Services NET SALES was $9.19 billion. In the last QUARTER. So, yes,

And Apple management would be stupid to pay $20.5 billion for Tesla's plant, property & equipment. They may acquire an interest in Gigafactory but that's not worth $20.5 billion. And let's not forget Tesla's largest

Why not since Bloomberg is now pulling numbers out of its ass? A billion MAU with projected $10 billion annual revenue gives a 10x annual revenue valuation. Apple has long surpassed a billion iOS units sold, and annual revenue is $230 billi

Sure they're not putting together internal combustion engines but still, tolerances are important and can vary quite a bit without temperature control.

It's not that the author is incorrect, it's just that the argument he used was a straw man. i.e. they are unrelated domains. However the metrics that are used to qualitatively measure the performance of each model's performan

Read the article. It says very clearly that AT&T has got "good" lawyers performing this schtick for years; some of them "write the laws" i.e. regulatory capture.

The difference is that you can actually go to a dealer and buy those other cars right off the lot if you so desire. Can't do that for a Model 3.
