Have you taken a look at Wizard?

Your point is well-taken, but to put things into perspective… $136 billion is a <1% move in Apple's market cap.


I think you mean 10%.


The fault lies entirely on your previous company's management.

As Buffett says, "price is what you pay, value is what you get." Your ex-co failed to provide reasons why customers should pay for the value it offers.

Apple excels at this, despite naysayers saying that a premium consumer electronics is a "bad business".


They excel at it from the point of view of Tier 1 countries.

They want to stay the Ferrari, Bang & Olufsen of mobile phones and laptops.


Someone help me understand this. If China and India get into a conflict, doesn't that mean each side would be trying to get the other's exports banned? Which means, effectively, Foxconn is handicapping itself?


India and China recently ended up at war. 20 Indian soldiers died and an undisclosed number of Chinese soldiers died during a primitive battle with Kung Fu sticks and stones. There's an agreement on not using firearms in conflicts and that has held up for some 60 years. There's no reason to believe this would be an all out war anytime soon.


> There's an agreement on not using firearms in conflicts and that has held up for some 60 years.

This is the first time I heard about this and a quick search confirms it's true. Amazing!


Really? This deserves a post of its own!


it won't be that big. After 1962, Mao was the Chinese Primier and Nehru was Indian PM.

Right after the cuban missile crisis was solved, UK and US started dropping military equipment to help India.

Mao then did a single handed ceasefire and retreated back to the original places.

then a peace summit happened and India China decided to not indulge in a firefight at the border again.

And now China had started meddling in Indian affairs, after weeks of tensions, I don't know what Indian govt did, but tensions were de escalated.

Yes, sadly, both sides lost lives, but the thing is CCP has now claimed a Russian port of Vladivostok (I read in the news), it has claimed Bhutan, and Ladhak in India and it has always claimed Arunachal Pradesh (India)


Quick chime in regarding arms supply post cuban missile and 1962 Sino-China War: While US and UK definitely gave arms to India, they refused to supply advanced machinery and weapons. This is where the Soviets were glad to step in, and henceforth was one of the major reasons why in the latter half of the Cold War the India sort of allied with the Soviets; while the NATO block in general sided with Pakistan (whose really close ally was also China).


Seems like an AirTable/PowerApps competitor, but an early version which means the polish isn't there. Personally I prefer Coda.


> Furthermore, Person 2 is a hidden node from Person 4, as Person 2 is not within Person 4’s set of immediate notification contacts.

This is the system working as designed. What purpose would be served that Person 4 needs to know Person 2 was also a contact of Person 1? It's not a perfect system, but this is a strawman argument.

The Google/Apple system isn't perfect, and relies on people behaving like responsible adults. The real world isn't like that, as the Corrupted Blood bug shows.


Moving to ARM is enough of a technical challenge, doubt they would want to divert even more resources to supporting AMD.


Yeah me too, it would be great to see AMD cpus instead of the Intel ones in the x86 offerings. In theory it shouldn't be a huge change. Moving to ARM is much more challenging but Apple has done such project before.


Read the article, please. Author said nice things about his workplace & its leadership (AWS). But he could not bear to see unfair treatment and so he quit.


Just because I know how a car works mechanically doesn't mean I'm inclined to build a fleet of my own.


The DoD absolutely has the technical ability to run their own shit.


The trend for the last couple of decades (since Reagan?) is: if it’s not used to kill people, contract it out. Systems that used to be run by DoD personnel are now ran by Oracle/Microsoft in the cloud and Northrop/Raytheon and various small companies for on-premise.


Sorta but sorta not.

Lots of things are contracted out but still run in DoD data centers with government oversight.

Me = Former DoD software engineer of 12 years.

But even so, there are a shit ton of DoD software people.


There’s an entire Agency of them.

It’s called the Defense Information Systems Agency. And they’re not even the biggest in that space.

I worked there for about five years.


Even the "killing people" part is also contracted out.

Yes, but he's suggesting that DoD might not care to, which I can believe. Whether that's out of laziness or time constraints is another question.
