Not that we know of, for hardware supply. Microsoft can't supply ARM Windows to Qualcomm's competitors. Windows can't be ported to anyone else's ARM chips because of an exclusivity agreement with Microsoft.

Unions lost popular support among the American public when it became illegal for them to discriminate by race. That environment has been great for pro-business interests to push laws that weaken union power in many states.

Yeah we better get used to disappointment. I think the best hope we have is that Twitter becomes the next Facebook and people we read go somewhere else. It's very dangerous but this is a dangerous time in a dangerous place.

He is a CEO and is replacing the first person to hold the Republican president accountable after Jan 6. I think that impacts his decision making, working the refs works dude. I think neither he nor Tim Cook are stooges for Republicans but t

Can you imagine writing: "pandemic-era lifestyle adjustments that lowered cost of living for many people"? Is that a fun way of saying workers are getting pushed out of areas where workers are needed? Yeah that's a preexistin

Yes the expensive but not-ready automation tech that needs 0 maintenance is going to take 2100 by storm!

Chips are critical, the highest value new process chips are not as much. AMD and Qualcomm’s PR departments want you to think otherwise.

Exactly Apple made themselves first because otherwise AMD and Qualcomm would have been hogging the capacity but it’s only unfair if Apple does it.
851.
by fundad 5y ago
Yeah everyone need capacity and only one player can get it first.

Making motherboards high volume that are faster than your competitors is something small businesses could not afford to do. We’re talking about one process that makes the same chips but more valuable. And AMD and Qualcomm want more access t

Samsung’s foundry, obviously. Choosing Apple meant letting go of old guard players

Every post is going to attract someone "just asking questions" about whether a normal, serious, hypothetical person would immediately be thinking about right-wing talking points instead of thinking about health and suffering.

I think they should be experienced enough to verify what people say. The world is full of bullshit because it works and experience teaches you to be aware.

Thanks, I'm curious if any place with snarky signage even wants to actually attract applicants (and if they would even respond to applicants).

local businesses aren't orchestrating the actions of large businesses but they definitely take opportunities to talk explicitly to reporters and put up signage. The idea is business owners are acting in concert to protect their interes

It feels like a capital strike. With every business raising prices, a business owner can comfortably profit by raising nominal prices and decreasing the quality of service by not staffing up. They all want to recoup losses from 2020. They k

Yeah if there was enough of a market that Apple sold them, it would be much cheaper than the current cost to make these low-volume Librem devices, not to mention the domestically assembled one for $2000

Anything a digital camera can do is the fault of the first company to sell them: Apple or the company that sells the most: Apple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbBqbONm1_Q

The temporarily-embarrassed capital class can rest assured their negative dividend will reliably go toward state violence. The police unions hold a special place because of what is known as Police Nationalism. For those people police determ

Being laid off and not finding new work so you’re forced to retire which is the opposite of choosing to retire early. And it’s sad, I hope that doesn’t happen to me.

Imagine thinking that people don't take jobs because their foreclosure has been pushed out into the future. Would people without a home will be more or less likely to be hired?

I think the issue is rural areas aren’t viable, even tourism is proving too labor intensive. I’m “summering” in a rural part of NY and Dollar General is a bigger messier version of a sundries shop. They don’t have the value-size packages of

Yeah and letting ICE run wild was supposed to make labor more scarce and more valuable. Thank immigration hawks for the wage inflation they promised.

The business owner can close up and file for unemployment if that pays more than they’d make paying prevailing wages.

This the painful in-between time when citizens realize they have to take those jobs

That also means housed workers will be in more demand, command higher wages and increase cost of living for everyone. So I agree it's good for worker power if that's the point you're trying to make.

Wasn't this one of the stated motivations for Brexit? Fewer immigrants pressuring owners to raise wages for British citizens. It was the same here in the States with border wall construction, turning away asylum seekers instead of lett
