Thank god Apple has been putting their eggs in their home-woven ARM basket. Now I just wish that they had a CEO who was above golden-trophy ass-kissing.

Partly home-made. Arm Holdings is British-based, but owned by Softbank Group (Japanese).

Japan is our ally.

Stupid flamebait. Not a sitting president and the NSA doesn't need a warrant for foreign targets.

> [T]he NSA doesn't need a warrant for foreign targets.

That is correct. IIRC, FISA made that the law of the land since like the 1970s. However, Congress felt the need to provide retroactive immunity to the telcos who assisted in the FISA-violating wiretaps that the NSA demanded of them around the turn of the century. See Title II on printed page 32 of this [0] for more information, and check out newspaper coverage about the "FISA Amendments Act of 2008" around July, 2008.

This grant of retroactive immunity was particularly outrageous because it mooted in-progress civil suits against those telcos, which is not something that's supposed to be done at scale... especially for civil liberties violations.

That's a really odd thing to do if no law was violated, don't you think?

What are the odds this ends with Intel getting nationalized? I think it's really looking kind of non-zero now.

Thank god Apple has been putting their eggs in their home-woven ARM basket. Now I just wish that they had a CEO who was above golden-trophy ass-kissing.

Does it being "designed in California" but "made in Taiwan" really make a difference? If Taiwan was to be invaded and TSMC follows through with their threat of destroying all of the fabs, Apple's home-woven basket wouldn't be worth much at all

I hate everything that Cook is doing to kiss up to Trump and he did something similar during the first administration by letting Trump brag about final assembly of low selling Mac Pros was happening in the US. But this is the country that the US wants (said as a born and bred US citizen) these are the results of it. Every CEO is kissing Trumps ass because that’s the only way you get ahead in the US now. The media, th…

The fact he allowed Tim Apple to just hang out there was telling

My read is that this is a mature response to an immature accusation. This guy is well known in the industry for being mature, responsible, and having high standards.

Given that context, and the context in which accusations are being made, the unfounded idea that he is corrupt due to links to China says a lot more about those spouting that idea than it does about him.

Refuting individual claims would be engaging with that which does not deserve engagement, whereas pointing out the shared goals (US economic/national security) is a good way to refocus the discussion.

Yes, what actually happened is important. In that Constitution story, a government website that has the Constitution's text was updated in a peculiar way. It could be interpreted as having been related to habeas corpus rights, as that was in the middle of the removal. It could also be interpreted as unintentional, as the deletion started in the middle of Article I Section 8. You'd think a targeted deletion wouldn't i…

Just so we're clear that you apparently still think it's possible that an order came down from the top to delete Congress's authorization to form a Navy from the Library of Congress's online annotated Constitution, which isn't even in the first SERP for me on Google for "online constitution", but I guess you've gotta start somewhere.

If the US or the Netherlands were being invaded that world also wreak havoc, but how is that related to the links between China and Intel's CEO?
