Didn't see the problem. If Free Speech isn't respected in SA, Netflix can't fix it.

I doubt they will be particularly interested in EU, maybe excluding some gaming studios.

The story behind Chang'e is also interesting. Essentially, she is the wife of a legendary hero, Hou Yi(后羿), who saved the mankind from dying of drought due to the presence of nine Suns, by shooting all but one of them down. Chang&#x27

That is in 70s. And even in this century, space programs fail all the time, think of ESA's attempt to land on Mars, one of the roller never makes to send anything back. The Soviets did an admirable job in even succeeded sending one of

BMW doesn't raise the price of their cars every year, let alone at the pace of 30%. Should that happen to BMW, I guess the consumers will happily take their business somewhere else. It is impressive enough that Apple can keep doing thi

It is coupled. The innovation is dwindling while Apple raises prices. So people will be more reluctant to switch, because 1000 dollars or north is a huge amount of money in any country, not something you could spend in a blink of eyes. Appl

A lot of Apple fan here are in denial that iPhone is a boring product, probably for some time now. Huawei P20 had 6 cameras and take super high-resolution lossless photos. At least that is something consumer is willing to buy.

They increase the price in US, they also increase the price in local currency ON top of that, to hedge the currency fluctuations. In the end, the oversea consumers pay much more even in terms of us dollars. So US probably has the cheapest i

Nationalism is one thing. My observation is that Chinese people generally hold favorable opinions towards Apple, it has a harmless image: selling good phones that happen to be really good looking. But I would say the real reason that Apple

If there is no subsidies in US from carriers, I would say that would be a better comparison. Consider that 40% US family had less than 400 in their bank account.

They played that Appel Status Symbol card for too long. In China, Yuan's depreciation should also be counted, so eventually Apple raised the price for local customer for about 30%, north to 10k in Chinese Yuan. In fact with 4 times tha

What you described is exactly one form of 'business-friendly'. Unfortunately, it is logical. Big business brings big investment and hold a lot of employment under its umbrella. Small businesses might, on aggregated level, provided

Interesting. This might finally enable those hologrammatic user interfaces as shown in many sci-fi movies.

Economically that is correct. The whole US is very much 'business-friendly'.

If you make the doctor liable, then I don't think any one of them will help in that regard.

I can see how it is getting traction. Static-typed java lite language, near-native, cross-platform support. There is a lot to like. And there aren't many alternatives out there, if you consider cross-platform compilation a must. React

> Because they sell to Costco at a price cheaper than the sale price. How is it different here. Apple Store is no cheaper and 30% is a huge cut, many service providers raise the price for iOS user to compensate this. So customer gets no

The technology is risky enough I am sure normal parents won't attempt to put their kids for experiments. And I am sure nations won't be interested in this as well, because the risk is high, the failures are unknown, and for the mo

It is different. When I shop at Costco I know I shop at Costco and that is what I paid for. But when I buy Netflix subscription, I am paying to Netflix, not Apple. Does Apple making Netflix as a service any better? I didn't quite see t

My thoughts as well. How could Apple's search so bad? If it indeed brings billions a year, why wouldn't they spend that money to improve the functionality of this revenue powerhouse? Apple tax should be stopped, people are paying

Wow, won't be surprised that Apple takes such hefty amount of money by essentially doing nothing. Now iOS's growth is slowing down, I see other big players follow the suit.

Well, when people abandon TV they go to YouTube, and Google owns YouTube, end of story... Video hosting is, by surprise, a very technology driven business, not as simple as upload a file then waiting for the profit. And as regulations tight

Maybe US should rethink a little bit why it takes until 2029 to build a railway in between SF and LA, maybe the due diligence is exaggerated and wear the whole process down?

Well I guess that is one valuable lesson to not choose no name company as your cloud provider. Big buddy is your friend.

I still remember sometime back Google's GNMT translate the Chinese text of 'I don't want to go to work' into English 'I want to go to work'. That example alone should be sufficient to showcase how most advanced

Most people don't care as they should. Facebook is a useful utility for many people, and the narrative of the marco risk where Facebook is destroying the foundation of social governance isn't accepted by them.
