TFA says a 20 person company can only make 1000 screws per day????
WTF?
Each person can only do 50 screws per day? Six screws per hour? Something is wrong here, they are fileing them by hand under microscopes?
Once set up, a screw machine can make 50 screw per minute !
TFA also says they got rid of their machines for doing that sort of thing because there was no demand and got more precise machines for specialised jobs or whatever. If the business was there Im sure they'd be first in line to get a fucktonofscrew making machine and run it 24/7. I mean 28,000 screws is a lot but how much can you make of that one order?
As the article states, Apple kept changing the specifications on the screw on short notice, so they wanted a local manufacturer to avoid delays from shipping and long-distance-communication failures.
And apple have how much money? If they really wanted they could set up the entire supply chain on their own and then outsource capacity to other manufacturers in the US that need 15,000 2.765mm torx penta secu screws or whatever with zero lead time. Wouldn't that be a turn up for the books.
Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it.
Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.
'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said.
In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.
The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her.
Even properly regulated " trusted " medication have been proven to contain toxic materials or other additives that have no place to be in there and never been declared. Any pharmaceutical product should be taken with the same dose of mistrust especially that we take these pills and shots for granted yet in a large number of cases they clearly do not work or have severe side effects. My 60 year old father takes 14 pills a day and this increases constantly becouse the ones he takes dont work so the doctor just keeps chucking more and more branded medication onto his prescription unending
Forget that, the real problem is in the DHMO (Dihydrogen Monoxide). It is a completely unregulated chemical that can be DEADLY in all forms. Liquid, solid and gaseous can all do massive amounts of damage to your body up to and including death. Yet, they put it in absolutely everything from cleaning products to kids juice! Big DHMO has a lot to answer for when the revolution comes, they addicted everyone to it, EVERYONE and if you try to stop you will die within a few days, fact..
"We're not lobbying for changes to any rules." Rather, she said, Google's claim that the Obama-era protections should be overturned was "a legal defense that we included as one of many possible defenses"
Thems weasel words Google.
We're not lobbying to change the rules, we just want them to be different and are trying to make that happen.
A pointless technology in China. It would get ripped out of your hand by the throng coming around the corner. A better invention might just be a fake periscope with a video of a throng coming around a corner. And you could use filters to decorate the throng! =)
And there'd be an option for musical accompaniment. A "Throng Song", if you will...
Get Sisqo to do it and you can have the Throng Thong Song.
The Pearl Harbor decision was bold but Japan miscalculated the effect their attack would have on US public.
Pearl harbour was just one of a number of attacks designed to secure the pacific, one of the reasons ironically to provide them more safety from the US. It didn't work.
autonomous vehicles can barely handle 2 dimensional space... and people think we're ready to tackle the intricacies of safely navigating 3D space? good grief, flying is not even remotely similar to driving a car. You need to worry about your airspeed, generating enough lift to safely take off, fly and land, you need to worry about wing-loading during turns, the vehicle would need to be able to interpret the way the wind 'feels' against the control surfaces when flying in order to judge what's going on, lest the aircraft fall from the sky... this is not the best way of doing this....If anything, an autonomous aero-stat would be safer. no aerodynamic forces to worry about, and it's slow... but even then...
Drones have been flying a lot longer than they have been driving and they are actually pretty good at it these days. I still wouldn't get in one and let it fly in close proximity to loads of other ones though.
Why are there so many people here with reading comprehension problems?
He didn't say "distrust everyone". He said "be wary of trusting someone who goes to suspicious length to try to convince you how trustworthy they are".
Imagine someone being pulled over by a cop and immediately starts trying to convince that cop that there's not a dead body in their trunk. Guess who's trunk is immediately getting searched?
And when they don't find a body they will believe you when you say the spare tire isn't filled with drugs.

It's BAD ENOUGH you STALK me by UNIDENTIFIABLE anon posts OR even IMPERSONATE me telling lies
Like you're the real apk?
I shudder to think how you get on.
You climb up a rope ladder as its flying away into the sunset like bond or some shit
Interesting, thanks.

In the interest of cost cutting and efficiency they decided to drop the middle word.

How does it account for differing light sources? Depending on where the light is coming from an object can cast all kinds of shadows.

What are you talking about? They are coming from inside the hollow earth, or moon, I forget which, whatever, illuminati.

Until the Germans drove around the end of it, took Paris then attacked from the rear. Sure... But effective as what?
About as effective as sarcasm online?

You know Hitler did just this, he'd just go on and invade, forget the formality of declaring war. It just wastes time.
A thousand tanks rolling over your border is declaration enough.
But I am le tired

Why would I bother wading through all that drivel more than once?
What, you don't want to spend hours researching and refuting each point just so he can call you a shill and move on?
So, how much do you think it would cost for sites to pay M$ to trust it. I think somewhere in the $50000-$500000 range.
They can pay ms as much as they want. Newsguard is a seperate company.
