Well, while I agree that it's an industry wide problem, it's kind of obvious why Supermicro has been singled out out of all vendors making enterprise servers with BMCs -- Supermicro is the cheapest, no-frill whitebox vendor. I&#x

Samsung is going mass production with their EUV in Q1 or 2 in 2019. I'm also speculating that Qualcomm's next SD would be made by Samsung LSI. How does it compare to TSMC?

1. Sure, contrary to some views here that Apple is too big, too talented, or too successful to do any wrong (see bsimpson's comment), we do have plenty of historical evidence that Apple is fully "capable" of doing so. 2. Nobo

what's up with all these glaring defense of Apple? Apple's success has been narrowly focused in on designing, marketing, and a few technical areas -- wireless tech pioneered and dominated by the likes of Qualcomm, Ericsson, etc fo

Did the one-click feature have that much impact on Apple's e-commerce? I thought it was their retail stores that really made difference in how the company sold and communicated with their customers.

I don't want to insult the dead. But if we had more McCains, his stubbornness and militarism would lead to greater welfare and warfare states with American soldiers fighting someone else's civil wars all over the world.

I never quite understood what the net neutrality debate was about, having even spent some years at ISP in NYC. So net neutrality is all about giving unlimited data access to pulic safety workers?

There is a 50-miles requirement for financial companies that came into effect after the 9/11. So I think 150 miles isn't all that unreasonable for military.

That was years ago when Samsung was on 14nm (vs TSMC's 16nm). Apple completely moved all US based A chips manufacturing to Taiwan.

just to nitpick, Samsung's cash pile as of June 2018 is $83B, but once you combine all forms of assets (ie, inventories, PP&E, etc) it comes out to about $300B. Apple doesn't have large PP&E (their datacenters aren't

This is wrong. Most education budget comes from your state or local (often in property) taxes, not from the federal gov't. According to US gov't spending, the fed spends $111B, but local and state about $1T in FY2018. ( https:&#
