You can't write a business plans/proposals and get loans/management approval on these kinds of tariffs. Imagine trying to get a loan from a bank to make a USA manufacturing plant, pointing to the 150% Chinese tariff. A week l

Yeah, that's basically what I deduced. They throw Android under the bus but _really_ it's not any more private, it just makes it up to Apple to comply, not the developer. There is an argument to be made that Apple is better positi

Point 1 is a good example of the GEICO jingle. People felt 5-10 minutes isn't enough time for something as serious as insurance.. but 25-30 is so long it turns people away... And then 5%, maybe even 10% savings isn't enough to go
