Collective bargaining forms the basis for an intelligent, social civilisastion.
Bullshit.
Unions in the USA exist to steal money from workers to buy hookers and blow for mobsters and politicians. The teamsters in particular are as dirty as they come.
This is not the case for ApplePay. You get a notification on your phone asking "do you want to pay (amount) to (vendor)", and you put your thumb on the fingerprint reader if you do. Less time than handing the cashier a bill and waiting for him to count out your change.
Why is it that cops ever recover murder weapons at all? Seems to me that if you have a gun that could incriminate you, the obvious thing to do is get a bench grinder and turn it into a pile of filings.
I know you think you said something clever, but I should point out that there was a time when Apple didn't know how to make phones or run retail stores. They found and hired the experts they needed to become world leaders in those lines of business.
I'm going way out on a limb here, but it seems to me that if Apple gets into the car business, they'll do so by hiring the top automotive engineers and designers in the world. I know they can outbid anyone else for them.
Watch it with the broad brush there, sparky. In the words of Frederic Bastiat:
"every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.”
I have no issue with vaccines. I have an issue with government usurping the power to decide what medical treatment I will undergo.
Speaking as a Libertarian, you're full of shit. There are more of us here in the Silicon Valley than many other places in the USA, but we're still tremendously outnumbered by the Ruling Party believers.
Apple intends LLVM and Clang to make GCC cease to be a signal success
The truth is, Apple no longer cares what happens to GCC. They hired Latner and supported LLVM because GCC was not meeting their needs. LLVM and LLDB make a far better tool chain to base Xcode on for many reasons, not the least of which is RMS's fanbois wanting to get all fucking political about what should be technical decisions.
Seriously, it's time for parents to quit letting these fucking brain-dead bureaucrats pull this shit. If you're thinking of voting for any politician who takes contributions from the the NEA, then FUCK YOU.

There's literally no reason for anyone to prefer gcc over Clang in the foreseeable future, other than ideological commitment to his ideas.
That's not quite true. GCC still supports many more CPUs than LLVM ever will.
