  • Well. That’s not changed by anything in your article …

    It’s interesting and all, but it’s more about how the people they were investigating under pseudonyms were eventually installed over the efforts to get investigate themselves…

    Like, that’s fucking huge. And definitely implies they were really involved in it, but it’s not a smoking gun

    Edit:

    To be clear the most likely explanation has always been the same as Cheney and 9/11…

    They knew it was coming, in general if not specific, and they choose to let it happen because that was what was best for their interests.

    That’s a billion times more likely than the CIA taking explicit actions to lead to the assassinations of a US president. It takes a lot to make something like this happen, very little to know it’s gonna happen and intentionally let it happen.

    which is requiring it for apps

    The simple solution is not making everything a fucking app…

    It’s always hilarious to watch people act like they care about security and privacy but download 27 different apps instead of just using a web interface…

    It’s like the iPad generation can’t figure out a bookmark list








  • Nah, they got a point:

    , but the skills, and knowledge of how to make things.

    Apple spent billions training Chinese workers how to do highly skilled manufacturing work for pennies and shitty hours with huge turnover rates. Remember the days of suicide nets in factories where the workers lived?

    Apple viewed them as a disposible work force, they viewed it as job training.

    They wash out, then get jobs doing the same things “the Apple method” for more pay and better conditions for a Chinese company.

    Still not great pay, still not great conditions, but there’s an incentive there to work for a local company instead of Apple.

    Over decades this has led to today where even if we tank our manufacturing away, that just makes manufacturing Chinese competitors even cheaper.

    It has nothing to do with discoveries, it’s about a trained workforce with the infrastructure in place for them to work and a supply of the rare earth materials they need.
