Let's be clear and honest, the Huffington post is far right wing, they just play to the left for views, they profit off the left, they are most definately not part of the left. Just like the pretend left indentitarians, the SJW freaks, they play left, well, they are fucking worse, they are deep state and shadow government tools, created to make the left look bad, left == workers and right == bosses, all else is a lie, put out by the bosses, just the way it is. Huffington Post, sold out to far right corporations, the second a big enough offer came in and they just gave the people who did the writing the finger and no share of hundreds of millions of dollars.
What happens when dinosaur media bought up the internet, well they tried to turn them into dinosaurs and well, it failed because dinosaurs turning new media into dinosaur media, wont save them from extinction, just take down the new media they bought.
Dinosaur media, simply failed to come to terms with the level of competition on the internet, hence the skullduggerous push for the elimination of net neutrality to create an entirely corrupt and disingenuous barrier to block competition. Problem is, well, the likes of slashdot, how much bandwidth do you need for text, not much at all and hence whilst they can try to stifle video competition, they totally fail on touching text based.
The level of global competition is also growing, look at https://www.rt.com/ or https://www.bbc.com/, their focus international news to an international audience, something for which US news media is extremely poorly equipped due to the level of empty headed bullshit and corporate propaganda flooding their channels, simply news, most people do not want to hear and who will go elsewhere at the first opportunity and you ain't seen nothing yet. The best current job for AI is auto translation services for web sites and the level of competition that will introduce for international content to an international audience will be huge and will be the downfall of US media, to used to dominating in order to adapt to mass competition, hence their solution the end of net neutrality and US internet isolation.
Because, cough, cough, Google lies, pretty routinely, as do most tech companies, truth considered entirely an expensive option. I would not believe any numbers coming out of Youtube, just of partial interest. Shoving content on people on the Youtube homepage, making it seem more or less popular by cooking the numbers. I would trust Netflix subcriber numbers more because they would go to jail if they cooked those numbers to inflate share value. So can the Alphabet liars go to jail for lying about Youtube viewing statistics, no, so why trust any info coming out of any Google site, if no criminal penalty applies when they get caught lying, faking search, misleading statistics, why believe them.
Google presented statistics, yeah interesting but you know what ever, maybe true, probably a lie but I would never bet on them being accurate, not ever. Neither can they, as their systems are forever in Beta, their forever excuse.
I would point to the fact, the Google as a corporation made the claim that email is equivalent to postcards, they wanted the excuse to examine everyone's email. So NHS by law can not send patient information to a GMail address because privacy laws are in force for the medical profession. In fact by law, unless the email is encrypted or goes direct to that persons in home email server which would be the equivalent of a fax machine in their home, would probably be illegal because the ISP has full access to emails, as do employers. Prior to any government attempting this, which would be a criminal act, they should secure email first as in require encrypting email clients to be used. The encryption can be fairly simply, as it would be a criminal offence to decrypt an email not addressed to you. I don't see how you can use email for medical records legally because in most instances, others will access it, either ISP or employers.
You forget the bit about selling the most crap products. Reality is, the era of the pseudo celebrity seems to be coming to an end, the sense of meh, just another internet identity, just another blogger, one amongst millions, who cares. Spectator computer gaming seems of really limited value, sort of hanging on to a hold over of existing spectator sports, as if they have value, rather than marketing promoting marketing, selling a sport to sell a other products via that sport and government subsidises to back sport advertising because the sports will back those politicians. So selling to sell, selling sells, once the false beliefs about spectator sports stripped away, there is nothing there of value.
The age of video games is meant to be about participation not spectating and the whole concept of spectating video games seems totally absurd when you can simply participate and the only thing driving it is saturation marketing, marketing to sell a sport to sell marketing.
The whole idea of putting that much effort into gaming is extremely hypocritical, game a lot and you are a loser without a life, lazy and worthless, game even more and now you are a gaming super star, WTF?!? ESports, video gaming for the sheeple.
From the not working perspective, when ever I am feeling a bit stagnant, I simply get up and go for a walk. Often within the home, just quietly pleasantly, around and around and around, sipping on some hot cocoa and listening to music. In fact more physically active than when I was at work all day at a desk.
Perhaps more breaks are in order, a person should have more opportunity to go for a little stroll every hour or so, a wander to get some air, use the leg muscle to promote circulation and interstitial fluids https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... movement. Perhaps every 50 minutes the ability to go for a ten minute stroll, in terms of health very valuable, which brings to mind the idea, can you sue an employer for actively denying you the opportunity to maintain reasonable health by not allowing you to go for a ten to fifteen minute stroll every hour. So how much of your office desk, can you carry around whilst you stroll.
What struck me was the absurd notion of the whole scam. You have stuck someone in an advertising loop, they will not be happy, seriously why would you expect them to buy anything, the inane greed of psychopaths.
So the great barrier reef, so diverse, yet every iceage, it goes from being an underwater formation, to a well inland above sea level formation, fully exposed to wind and sun, entirely destroyed every ten odd thousands years or so, interesting huh. Coral seems to have little problem re-settling as conditions change. There are coral cores that prove it, though they are little discussed for some reason?
The reason tech places of employment tend to be unhealthy, the lack of older employees who would stabilise those environments and teach younger employees how to socially interact by older, I do mean much older, so plus 50. Without that older demographic the younger staff have been winging it without much success, depending upon the age and experience of management, which can somewhat balance it.
Want better tech work environments, figure out a way to squeeze in plus fifty employees who are not burnt out hacks and they will teach younger employees how to properly socialise in the work place by demonstration and instruction, too easy.
Well actually in reality, the alt-right was started as an alternate to the corporate Republicans, more libertarian in approach. This was considered a threat by the establishment and they trotted out some paid for nazis to rebrand the alt-right as white supremacy, so a deep state/shadow government rebranding of the alt-right. It all came about when the Greens and the Libertarians found they had more in common with each other, then either did with the corporate Republicans and the corporate Democrats, who in reality are much the same, legislation for sale to the highest bidder, foreign or domestic, so couldn't let that happen and SJW shite and fake left emerged there in after, again deep state and shadow government plots and schemes, the whole identity politics thing an establishment lie carried by totally disingenuous corporate main stream media who routinely gives voice to the nuttiest identitarian gender freaks. Disclosure, I have chosen my own identity and my preferred pronoun is cheeky bastard, ask me that in public and I will dare you to ask all the cheeky bitches in that locale to put up their hand;D.
The delivery medium changes habits. Since netflix, I watch a series until it gets boring, how ever many episodes and the swap to another, to watch until it get boring and then swap again, maybe back to the first. Is that binge watching or not, it gives a good sense of series development and when that series becomes a bit stale due to extended exposure the ability to swap.
News, the internet and I take my pick, as a rule of thumb avoiding all US main stream media channels as well as UK ones and then what ever turns up from the rest of the world in English.
Sport, well, fuck that, had enough of jock strap fuckwits in school why bother there in after, dumb as rocks, not worth talking to, so why watch them, play as children to be lorded by mainstream media for their marketing ability, boring, boring, boring.
On the internet, get bored with netflix, play a game, interact on forums or in a limited capacity interact with social media. The internet is not just Netflix but Netflix is part of the internet channel from a users viewpoint. American news, stop bullshitting for a few years and people might start listening again and Youtube faking your numbers and fucking up everyone's news search to put you in front, wont win anyone, people stopped watching for a reason. Suck it up main stream media News channel, you are just another association of bloggers, get over yourselves.
Instead of salt, try some lateral thinking. Build your properties above major roads and turn building lots into parks. Safe travel in all weathers and you are directly above transport corridors for easy social and business access, you also recover than land value under roads.
Google is crap a social media because they are an advertising platform, the is the raison d'etre, their reason for existing. Social media for them is nothing but bait, how good, just good enough to get the sheeple to bite and hopefully become hooked, how bad, as bad as they can possibly get away with.
They are not a social media company, they are a advertising company, that is the way the bit shit at Alphabet positioned them and why with the SJW marketing nuttiness, they are bad at social media.
They are factually trying their best but the first and last question, how to force ads on the sheeple when they take the social media bait and target and manipulate them with those ads, not just commerce but in the sickest fashion imaginable politics and social relations.
Want to know how cunning the American government is, https://www.theglobeandmail.co... and then they sucked in Canada to fucked it all up. What, Canada, you think you can pick up all the lost US exports to China, fuck you Canada, US then ponders let's see what stupid thing we can get Canada to do, as punishment for stealing those exports to China, ohh, I know we will exploit this treaty and get them to fuck themselves up, the US doesn't get the trade, that means Canada the sock puppet doesn't get the trade. Canada should still cop stick, even though it was sucked in, there never ever is a reward for stupidity, just in American movies, not ever in real life.
Arrogance of Americans is astounding. No tit for tat arrests, all strictly letter of the law arrests, just with the most severe punishment possible being applied. Unlike the US where family has become disposable, family is a big thing in China, really big, especially at the top. This was not the arrest of a Chinese executive, this was the purposeful assault on the child of a leading Chinese business leader, which in Chinese reality, also means a leader in politics (you do not get to be one without the other), in order to extort compliance out of the government of China, else what, the daughter of the Chinese leader will be extradited to the US and what raped in one their prisons because rape is deemed normal in prison.
No accidental event, but a plotted scheme to kidnap the daughter of a leading Chinese business leader to extort compliance out of the government of China, seriously, come on, what do you expect the reaction to be from the Chinese perspective. They can do this to one of the leaders, how about other Chinese children in Canadian schools are they safe. The marketing and PR on this in China will be extremely bad for Canada, grabbing the children of executives to extort compliance to US demands, Canada, idiotically did this and no denying it, they knew in advance and already admitted this.
It is not the Chinese government who will act, it is the Chinese people, with just a bit of prodding from the government of China. Individual police officers in China will act upon their own impetus for this attack upon Chinese families, same as for judges and that means consumers as well, will view Canadians and Canadian product very negatively, depending upon how much they are prompted to by public comments by Chinese officials.
This had nothing to do with justice and everything to do with high level corruption in the US government and apparently in the Canadian government and Canada will be paying by far the greatest penalty, ain't nothing going to stop that. Billions in trade gone, at the consumer level in China, negative diplomatic relations with China for years to come, and likely harsh treatment for Canadians anywhere in China, especially Hong Kong and Macau, again the Chinese police and courts, reacting based upon their own feelings for family and how this event will be be perceived and how it is portrayed in China.
US executives who actually work in China, know how much importance is placed on family and how it was an extraordinarily bad idea to kidnap and abuse the daughter of a Chinese business leader (arrest is abuse and make no mistake) which means they are also a leader in Chinese government, just the way it is in China, this to extort compliance out of China. the message, watch out China, we will be arresting your children overseas (no matter how old still viewed as children), top notch messaging American sure to win life long enemies and Canada, oh so fucking stupid.
Nah, you will be fine with English, the trading tongue, sure it will change over time and incorporate other words from other languages, that can not be expressed in english, no word equivalent, without explaining them. Chinese can not win because, inefficient and a whole host of other languages ie German, Spanish, Japanese, Russian and even French. So bastardised English will trade dominate, for simple efficiency and neutral, American will be ignored of course.
The difference between school projects and work projects, time management and at access personal knowledge. How good does you work project need to be, just good enough to succeed at the task set, not one iota better because that time could be spent on another project. Access to personal knowledge, means being able to answer any required question upon request without looking it up, except of course figures, those you can reference because accuracy counts. Fail at those and you fail in any competitive industry, except corporations, where could a being promoted, you scammy, credit stealing brown nosing and effectiveness at passing blame, rather than being good at the actual job (that is what underpaid assistants are for), is more important.
As a work guide, in competitive industry, those naturally good at exams will succeed and those good at projects will fail. In non-competitive industries, those good at projects will succeed and those good at exams will go insane with the endless inane meetings and reports.
Nope the poison pill always was exactly what you would expect, no fad lasts forever, no marketing program lasts for ever and once marketing started to fail the far product was doomed. Bitcoin is nothing but a marketing program, an illusion of worth created by quite successful hype marketing and of course human greed. Energy backed crypto across international and national exchanges, with an international currency supplied by the international exchange, where ever it may be based upon the future energy assets it holds, that were deposited by those seeking access to sell energy future, you know say 10% of what they want to put up on the market, for which they receive the international energy backed crypto currency, they can trade internationally.
In this case simply rising sea levels mass adjustment. it will cause weird not very initially eventful outcomes, how ever it will inevitably create alterations in timing of seismic events, so earlier and more severe, some latter and less severe. All depends were the mass is going and where it is leaving. The end of the ice age would have created similar outcomes, that why legend has passed it down as a time of fire and ice, the same would have been true at the beginning of the event, shallower seas and piled up ice, just the opposite direction.
Straight up shifting masses on the planet will end up triggering some pretty nasty seismic events, probably be able to guesstimate the most troublesome locales based upon gaining or losing mass and the existing fault lines. Make all the jokes you like, under waterfront is under waterfront, millions are going to die, and fuck all will be done until it is too late and then people will really freak and scream crimes about against humanity and the fossil fuellers ring leaders will probably hang in large numbers to appease the furious mob, such is life.
I wonder how much you have to pay Google for those numbers;). The 10 million dollar edit, change a number and you are done. We all know Google is wildly cooking the books to make American main stream media news, look way more popular than it is in reality. Numbers go up and numbers go down, million dollar edits for cents at a time. Not that I don't trust, Google, yeah well, I don't not one little bit, so those numbers are as meaningless as the time it takes to edit them.
Not good enough. An advertising platform like Google should be held fully legally accountable for the advertising it sells. That is it's function it most definitely is not a social media platform, it is a advertising company that does social media as bait and has a total disregard for the honesty of the ads it sells. The careless fuckers sold a fuck bank app for a major bank on it's play platform (obviously not giving a fuck about that either), with the Australian government in the most absurd fashion, failing to prosecute Google for that major failure.
When your corporation is specifically an advertising platform, when that is main profit base, when it is it's main function, it should be held accountable for those ads. Not only in terms of fines and penalties but also custodial sentence for extreme cases, like the fake bank app, who ever approved should go to jail for criminal negligence, end of story.
I am sure when Google executives start spending time behind bars, the criminally negligent Google ad system will reform double quick smart, start locking up the fuckers. Main stream media, no matter how crap, did police it ads.
Who said anything about making cars. Tesla makes more than cars, for example home power systems, you know, solar panels and batteries as a complete system. A much bigger market, than high end cars, in fact no comparison between the two, at a guess home power system should be worth about ten times as much as high end electric vehicles and probably require ten times as much floor space, being a far more average consumer product, regardless of how much that terrifies the fossil fuellers.
Consider all the ways, us nobodies can earn an income without paying tax, practically none but with solar panel and batteries added to your house you can earn you electric bill, tax free and considering how shite bank interest rates are, that investment becomes extremely worth while. Tesla should start publishing numbers on income generated by their home energy systems. How much it costs, how income it can generate in terms of electrical charges saved and how that income is entirely tax free and what return that would have against borrowed money to install the system, can your electricity bill pay the loan interest charges, on installing a Tesla home power system and if you are not borrowing is that return higher than bank interest, especially taking into account tax free status (if you sell the electricity you generate, you would of course be paying taxes).
Simple example for the perennially stupid. Unregulated free market, easiest way to deal with competitors, SHOOT THEM, a regulated market bans this. In more business like terms, say one health insurance company wants to out compete another. It simple offers cheap policies, that it never intends to pay. Basically chew up all premiums in wildly inflated executive salaries and let the company go inevitably bankrupt. In the meantime they have bankrupted honest health insurance companies because they are not selling insurance because they can not compete. So every one dies because no one has health insurance that will pay anything because the corrupt companies can start, again and again and again, bankruptcy after bankruptcy, zero regulation, voilÃ.
Yes, you have to regulate the fuck out of the free market because psychopathic capitalists do no give one fuck about how many people they kill as long as infinite profits are generated. Capitalism is a business practice designed around failure and not success, no matter how successful, the system is designed so that a new competitor will destroy the existing company, no matter how much worse it is or that it has been designed to extract maximum profits and then fail and push those losses on the rest of the public, whilst the psychopath capitalists run off with the profits (this is not the isolated event but has become the psychopathic insane fucking norm of American capitalism ha ha ha ha ha ha ha).
Technically speaking, Apple store desired language, fully complies with their restricted access closed garden. Need to pigeon hole Apple in you mind, consider and Ladies and Gentlemen's computer club and cheeky fucker's ain't invited. Yes, that store language is typical of that kind of club, no one is ever really at fault, the environment is creative whilst always remaining pleasant. Don't buy into that lifestyle, don't buy into Apple products, as simple as that. They most certainly do have their place within a broad and diverse environment, but specifically they are designed around a greater acceptance of that controlled country club environment ie targeted at the snooty snoots https://www.collinsdictionary...., the digital toffs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... They do actively pay for exclusivity of computing environment, it is who they are, as a corporation, as staff members and as customers.
Note of clarification, I do not own any Apple products and never have, I did run Quicktime for a while and generally had is as backup but https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (what more needs to be said, it does the job, with minimal fuss across multiple platforms). Not that I am opposed to Apple products, just somewhat unlikely to purchase them, well, until windows anal probe 10, now the unlikely is becoming the likely, as long as dual boot to Linux, specifically https://kubuntu.org/ is possible, to be blunt so that I can escape the garden when ever I choose to do so and still return, for a more pleasant and polite computing experience.
How about simply reality. YES, you should be very much worried about all foreign supplied technology in your countries infrastructure. It basically places you hostage to that other countries control of the companies that supply you that technology. It can be backed doored in all sorts of ways, to intercept data, to censor data, to shut down the transmission of data, YES, it is extremely risky to place the control of your countries infrastructure in the hands of other countries governments via their control of the companies supplying the technology.
Who would I trust the least, well, you know the easy answer would be the USA but in reality Saudi Arabia and Israel would be fucking worse, and a bunch of other corrupt countries but to be honest I would trust China ahead of the USA, quite a ways ahead. Other countries should really stop using code or electronics coming out of the US, it is way more back doored than most would believe, oh yeah, multiple back doors.
The part where a bunch of Americans and Canada get arrested in China as Chinese authorities target and crack down on them specifically. China is an authoritarian state and that means that have lots and lots of police officers. Honestly fuck the bullshit propaganda the Americans government wants to spout, leaving China would probably be a sound idea if you are American or Canadian, the slightest infraction will have you seeing a quite stiff penalty, again something for which authoritarian states are known. Yes, and the arrest is the most idiotic kind of American bullshit and the Canadians were total fuckwits for pathetically complying with idiotic US demands. Good luck with the mess that ensues.
Let's be clear and honest, the Huffington post is far right wing, they just play to the left for views, they profit off the left, they are most definately not part of the left.

Individual police officers in China will act upon their own impetus for this attack upon Chinese families, same as for judges and that means consumers as well, will view Canadians and Canadian product very negatively, depending upon how much they are prompted to by public comments by Chinese officials.
This had nothing to do with justice and everything to do with high level corruption in the US government and apparently in the Canadian government and Canada will be paying by far the greatest penalty, ain't nothing going to stop that. Billions in trade gone, at the consumer level in China, negative diplomatic relations with China for years to come, and likely harsh treatment for Canadians anywhere in China, especially Hong Kong and Macau, again the Chinese police and courts, reacting based upon their own feelings for family and how this event will be be perceived and how it is portrayed in China.
US executives who actually work in China, know how much importance is placed on family and how it was an extraordinarily bad idea to kidnap and abuse the daughter of a Chinese business leader (arrest is abuse and make no mistake) which means they are also a leader in Chinese government, just the way it is in China, this to extort compliance out of China. the message, watch out China, we will be arresting your children overseas (no matter how old still viewed as children), top notch messaging American sure to win life long enemies and Canada, oh so fucking stupid.
Nah, you will be fine with English, the trading tongue, sure it will change over time and incorporate other words from other languages, that can not be expressed in english, no word equivalent, without explaining them. Chinese can not win because, inefficient and a whole host of other languages ie German, Spanish, Japanese, Russian and even French. So bastardised English will trade dominate, for simple efficiency and neutral, American will be ignored of course.
The difference between school projects and work projects, time management and at access personal knowledge. How good does you work project need to be, just good enough to succeed at the task set, not one iota better because that time could be spent on another project. Access to personal knowledge, means being able to answer any required question upon request without looking it up, except of course figures, those you can reference because accuracy counts. Fail at those and you fail in any competitive industry, except corporations, where could a being promoted, you scammy, credit stealing brown nosing and effectiveness at passing blame, rather than being good at the actual job (that is what underpaid assistants are for), is more important.
As a work guide, in competitive industry, those naturally good at exams will succeed and those good at projects will fail. In non-competitive industries, those good at projects will succeed and those good at exams will go insane with the endless inane meetings and reports.
Nope the poison pill always was exactly what you would expect, no fad lasts forever, no marketing program lasts for ever and once marketing started to fail the far product was doomed. Bitcoin is nothing but a marketing program, an illusion of worth created by quite successful hype marketing and of course human greed. Energy backed crypto across international and national exchanges, with an international currency supplied by the international exchange, where ever it may be based upon the future energy assets it holds, that were deposited by those seeking access to sell energy future, you know say 10% of what they want to put up on the market, for which they receive the international energy backed crypto currency, they can trade internationally.
In this case simply rising sea levels mass adjustment. it will cause weird not very initially eventful outcomes, how ever it will inevitably create alterations in timing of seismic events, so earlier and more severe, some latter and less severe. All depends were the mass is going and where it is leaving. The end of the ice age would have created similar outcomes, that why legend has passed it down as a time of fire and ice, the same would have been true at the beginning of the event, shallower seas and piled up ice, just the opposite direction.
Straight up shifting masses on the planet will end up triggering some pretty nasty seismic events, probably be able to guesstimate the most troublesome locales based upon gaining or losing mass and the existing fault lines. Make all the jokes you like, under waterfront is under waterfront, millions are going to die, and fuck all will be done until it is too late and then people will really freak and scream crimes about against humanity and the fossil fuellers ring leaders will probably hang in large numbers to appease the furious mob, such is life.
I wonder how much you have to pay Google for those numbers ;). The 10 million dollar edit, change a number and you are done. We all know Google is wildly cooking the books to make American main stream media news, look way more popular than it is in reality. Numbers go up and numbers go down, million dollar edits for cents at a time. Not that I don't trust, Google, yeah well, I don't not one little bit, so those numbers are as meaningless as the time it takes to edit them.
Not good enough. An advertising platform like Google should be held fully legally accountable for the advertising it sells. That is it's function it most definitely is not a social media platform, it is a advertising company that does social media as bait and has a total disregard for the honesty of the ads it sells. The careless fuckers sold a fuck bank app for a major bank on it's play platform (obviously not giving a fuck about that either), with the Australian government in the most absurd fashion, failing to prosecute Google for that major failure.
When your corporation is specifically an advertising platform, when that is main profit base, when it is it's main function, it should be held accountable for those ads. Not only in terms of fines and penalties but also custodial sentence for extreme cases, like the fake bank app, who ever approved should go to jail for criminal negligence, end of story.
I am sure when Google executives start spending time behind bars, the criminally negligent Google ad system will reform double quick smart, start locking up the fuckers. Main stream media, no matter how crap, did police it ads.
Who said anything about making cars. Tesla makes more than cars, for example home power systems, you know, solar panels and batteries as a complete system. A much bigger market, than high end cars, in fact no comparison between the two, at a guess home power system should be worth about ten times as much as high end electric vehicles and probably require ten times as much floor space, being a far more average consumer product, regardless of how much that terrifies the fossil fuellers.
Consider all the ways, us nobodies can earn an income without paying tax, practically none but with solar panel and batteries added to your house you can earn you electric bill, tax free and considering how shite bank interest rates are, that investment becomes extremely worth while. Tesla should start publishing numbers on income generated by their home energy systems. How much it costs, how income it can generate in terms of electrical charges saved and how that income is entirely tax free and what return that would have against borrowed money to install the system, can your electricity bill pay the loan interest charges, on installing a Tesla home power system and if you are not borrowing is that return higher than bank interest, especially taking into account tax free status (if you sell the electricity you generate, you would of course be paying taxes).
Simple example for the perennially stupid. Unregulated free market, easiest way to deal with competitors, SHOOT THEM, a regulated market bans this. In more business like terms, say one health insurance company wants to out compete another. It simple offers cheap policies, that it never intends to pay. Basically chew up all premiums in wildly inflated executive salaries and let the company go inevitably bankrupt. In the meantime they have bankrupted honest health insurance companies because they are not selling insurance because they can not compete. So every one dies because no one has health insurance that will pay anything because the corrupt companies can start, again and again and again, bankruptcy after bankruptcy, zero regulation, voilÃ.
Yes, you have to regulate the fuck out of the free market because psychopathic capitalists do no give one fuck about how many people they kill as long as infinite profits are generated. Capitalism is a business practice designed around failure and not success, no matter how successful, the system is designed so that a new competitor will destroy the existing company, no matter how much worse it is or that it has been designed to extract maximum profits and then fail and push those losses on the rest of the public, whilst the psychopath capitalists run off with the profits (this is not the isolated event but has become the psychopathic insane fucking norm of American capitalism ha ha ha ha ha ha ha).
Technically speaking, Apple store desired language, fully complies with their restricted access closed garden. Need to pigeon hole Apple in you mind, consider and Ladies and Gentlemen's computer club and cheeky fucker's ain't invited. Yes, that store language is typical of that kind of club, no one is ever really at fault, the environment is creative whilst always remaining pleasant. Don't buy into that lifestyle, don't buy into Apple products, as simple as that. They most certainly do have their place within a broad and diverse environment, but specifically they are designed around a greater acceptance of that controlled country club environment ie targeted at the snooty snoots https://www.collinsdictionary...., the digital toffs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... They do actively pay for exclusivity of computing environment, it is who they are, as a corporation, as staff members and as customers.
Note of clarification, I do not own any Apple products and never have, I did run Quicktime for a while and generally had is as backup but https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (what more needs to be said, it does the job, with minimal fuss across multiple platforms). Not that I am opposed to Apple products, just somewhat unlikely to purchase them, well, until windows anal probe 10, now the unlikely is becoming the likely, as long as dual boot to Linux, specifically https://kubuntu.org/ is possible, to be blunt so that I can escape the garden when ever I choose to do so and still return, for a more pleasant and polite computing experience.
How about simply reality. YES, you should be very much worried about all foreign supplied technology in your countries infrastructure. It basically places you hostage to that other countries control of the companies that supply you that technology. It can be backed doored in all sorts of ways, to intercept data, to censor data, to shut down the transmission of data, YES, it is extremely risky to place the control of your countries infrastructure in the hands of other countries governments via their control of the companies supplying the technology.
Who would I trust the least, well, you know the easy answer would be the USA but in reality Saudi Arabia and Israel would be fucking worse, and a bunch of other corrupt countries but to be honest I would trust China ahead of the USA, quite a ways ahead. Other countries should really stop using code or electronics coming out of the US, it is way more back doored than most would believe, oh yeah, multiple back doors.
The part where a bunch of Americans and Canada get arrested in China as Chinese authorities target and crack down on them specifically. China is an authoritarian state and that means that have lots and lots of police officers. Honestly fuck the bullshit propaganda the Americans government wants to spout, leaving China would probably be a sound idea if you are American or Canadian, the slightest infraction will have you seeing a quite stiff penalty, again something for which authoritarian states are known. Yes, and the arrest is the most idiotic kind of American bullshit and the Canadians were total fuckwits for pathetically complying with idiotic US demands. Good luck with the mess that ensues.
