I feel the App Store is one thing differentiating Apple from Android phone manufacturers. Money from the App Store gets reinvested in the entire iPhone supply chain. Whereas in the case of Android, App Store money goes…
There are quite a few numbers on the breakeven point but a quick google says it’s usually 2.5x-3x the budget - due to marketing cost and distribution fees.

I think he can’t STFU. He needs constant public validation and praise. Frankly, I think he never will. 20 years from now, if he is still alive and wealthy, we will still be hearing from him - long after his peers have…
Quite sure there was plenty of exploitation in communist countries.
I would hardly consider this as “take those disagreements public”. It’s not like they talked to the press. This letter was circulated internally using internal employee communications channels. Ironically, we would…

China rhetoric is very concerning. As the old saying goes, when people tell you who they are, believe them.
I think it’s preferred that the “competition” aren’t the country’s geopolitical rivals who would love to see the country weaken if not destroyed.

The billions Biden threw their way isn’t really that much when their fabs cost billions to build. Don’t think the grants cover the full cost of their new fabs - it was 50 billion total right divided among all the…
