I read somewhere that the issue is (for almost all electronics manufacturers) that all of those hi-tech fabs are also physically located in China, so you save a great deal of money and time.

Because Cook would have known about the results of the security audits that were performed.

Man, I am now 90% convinced that someone intentionally misled Bloomberg. It looks like this may end up being an extremely embarrassing episode for them.

Would be cool if they provided other examples. The Aboriginal's of australia have the strongest and oldest oral tradition of any culture that I am aware of, so it would be nice to see some other, less obvious, examples.

Not going to argue with you about using AC in Louisiana. I think a lot of people just don't understand how fucking hot and unpleasant it gets in the southern states during summer.

I strongly disagree. I think enjoyment of reading is vastly more important that interpretation and writing. What is the point of these kinds of assignments if it causes the kids to have negative associations with reading? Even beyond school

Fair, I grew up in the middle of nowhere, tv was a weekend only activity, and internet was pretty strictly regulated. As a result I read a lot.

In elementary school we would have assigned reading periods, during which we were supposed to read one chapter of the book we were on. Turns out that if you read five chapters instead you just fail all the quizzes because you don't hav

I grew up in a household that had passed that 350 book mark, and beyond all of the actual meaningful improvements it has made to my life, it also meant that reading comprehension on standardized testing was laughably easy. So teach your kid

Huh, weird how much opinions differ. My current main headphones are HD650s but my work headphones are qc25s, and I have no complaints about the Bose build quality, noise canceling, or comfort. Sure they could sound better, but music at work

Right so Google was actually aping someone else and hadn't even noticed that iphones have that notch. Be real here, it isn't a big deal, but they clearly set out to mimic the Apple counterparts.

Until someone produces some actual compromised hardware, I'm leaning towards Apple on this one. I don't know what is going on, and I fully trust that Bloomberg was very confident in the story, but for Apple to deny this so strongl

Sorry, I meant that they looked and felt quite similar to the user.

Can someone outline some reasons for me why nobody has come up with an actual physical example of a compromised board? I'm not trying to make a point, I just want to get a more complete picture of the issue, and the biggest thing that

Not to mention thinking that clean sensible code is always an option. There will always be something. It could be a kernel bug, it could be a quirk of an external library, it could be just to get the bloody thing to link against static libr

Windows 7 and XP were not good, people see XP through nostalgia goggles and Windows 7 is just prettier XP. Windows 10 is easily my favorite of the three. I wish I understood windows better though. The issues I run into with unix machines al

It isn't just a huge hint, most of the time it tells you exactly what the damn issue is. This discussion is blowing my mind. I am honestly speechless. IT GIVES YOU THE LINE NUMBER AND THE FUNCTION CALL AND THE REASON! Why would you eve

Sure but it still means something to the rest of the community, which is important. My parents are professors, and I can assure you that there is at the least a psychological difference.

This isn't necessarily the case, as shown by countries like Australia with very high minimum wages.

Are there? I disagree with the article, but have we really conclusively found organisms that do not age?

Wow, I didn't even like Stardew Valley very much, but there is a level of polish to that game that is unbelievable for a single person to have accomplished.

There are a ton of options as far as tools are concerned, and it really depends on frequency and type of use. For most people, cheap stuff is fine. Harbor Freight is far less "disposable" than people make it out to be, and tons of

It seems just yesterday they were but a wee lad. So adorable and quirky. Now they're all grown up, sniff, how things have changed.
