I was predicting hyperinflation from 2008 and for years after, but the evidence just isn't there. Maybe things will eventually pop. The actual happenings of the economy (people buying and selling) are insulated from financial markets e

People have been talking about the Apple TV for many, many years. This actually sounds like a stronger case for Apple not making a car. > can we make a version of this product that is differentiated enough to be meaningful in the market?

Yes, but even you are recommending automation as the solution here (a sign to direct people is automation). If restaurants do it poorly that is of course an issue, but it's not like rude servers and bad service don't exist.

All of the local restaurants have raised prices. I've overheard a few restaurant owners talking and it seems customers don't like even small price increases. They also indicate the price increases are necessary for supply costs ev

The West and Americans (in my experience) take for granted that civil rights, free speech, democracy, and other values automatically create better outcomes than authoritarianism. This is how it was taught to me, and it seems baked into the

That might be slightly valid if Apple had any plans to do e2e encryption. The fact that they haven’t said a word on that front would seem to indicate that they have no such plans, have never had such plans, and are not willing to make such

I do remember it, it’s just very weird that Apple hasn’t cited it as a motivation. If they had led with that, we’d be having a conversation about the evildoers in Congress rather than Cupertino.
