And yet not in a shareholder letter issued before which said
"In total, we are expecting to deliver 360,000 to 400,000 vehicles in 2019, representing a growth of approximately 45% to 65% compared to 2018. In this range, we are expecting to have posit ive GAAP net income and to generate positive free cash flow (operating cash flow less capex) in every quarter beyond Q1 2019.
We believe these results will be substantially driven by our restructuring action and the ongoing financial discipl

Hey ass-hole, it is well know that companies like Microsoft, Google and Apple off-shore their profits in order to evade paying taxes. Tim Cook laments about this all the time. Got Trillions of dollars off-shore but doesn't want bring them to the US because he'll have to pay taxes. The EU told Apple they owe Ireland, Apple's tax free zone in Europe, back taxes. Tim Cook said Ireland can have taxes or jobs not both.
Some one will write an original story instead of regurgitating old stories. Making movies is suppose to be a creative endeavor. And yet it seems that in order to write a female lead character, they need to take a familiar male character and make the character female.
Waiting for the female version of Oedipus Rex....not that could be really hot...
Really? Yeah because an AI stethoscope won't be expensive and will be easy to service in sub-Saharan Africa. Did you read the bit about "developing strategies for countries with limited resources" or was your head up your ass because you're a fucking engineer who's never been to sub-Saharan Africa. FYI given the many illnesses that plague people living in sub-Saharan Africa broad spectrum antibiotics would be the right treatment. But hey what do doctors know compared to IEEE engineers who have never treated anyone in sub-Saharan Africa. Fucking morons.
"Given the global burden of these respiratory ailments, the World Health Organization has developed strategies for countries with limited resources. The guidelines for pneumonia [PDF] diagnosis minimize dependence on any technological tools, and instead rely solely on observed symptoms of shortness of breath, cough, and rapid breathing. In hopes of saving lives, the WHO recommends antibiotic treatment for all children with these symptoms, with the result that half the children who get treated for pneumonia don’t really have it. This approach puts unnecessary costs on communities, and the unnecessary medication contributes to the growing problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
We propose a technological solution that builds on the stethoscope, which has hardly changed since its invention in the early 1800s."
"Today’s electronic stethoscopes typically cost around US $500, making them far too expensive for many health workers in the developing world. The Johns Hopkins smart scope is designed to be significantly cheaper, with affordable electronic components and low-cost power and computing options, in hopes that it can be useful for low-resource communities."
"You wake up one morning to discover that your child is ill: His forehead feels hot to the touch, and his rapid breathing has a wheezing sound. You live in Malawi, where your health care options are few. When the local clinic opens, you wait for your turn with the solitary clinic worker. She’s not a doctor, but she’s been trained to identify and handle routine problems. "
"She puts on a stethoscope and presses its chest piece against your son’s front and back to carefully listen to his lungs. Through the windows, open in the heat of the day, come the sounds of people talking, the thrum of a generator, and the roar of a moped on the main road. The health worker strains to hear.

This is not remotely the problem anywhere else. So in 3rd world countries were people who are not doctors treat people in noisy conditions, this would help.
Do you fucking understand now. Take your fucking head out of your ass.
This is a non-story. Thank you New York Times for your bullshit reporting.
This is about supply chain. Standard for any business. Apple knows their supply chain requirements. They know what steps need to be taken in order for the supply chain to work in the US. The fact that Apple did not take those steps - and worse that NYT did not grill Apple about - shows a complete management failure on Apple's part.
As mysidia pointed out:
"The problem is not large volume screw production... its large volume custom screw production with very short notice given.
Don't expect to go to a factory with a custom product design and expect to have a huge volume of them manufactured for reasonable cost without any lead time."
This is bullshit and you know that. It's about SUPPLY CHAIN. Apple knows this. In fact supply chain issues have been the bane of Apple's exist for that past 40 fucking years! Apple knows about it. What Apple did not do was ensure that they had sufficient supply chain available here, which they could have easily done.
This was Apple's fault. It's a known issue that is easily solvable.
Actually it is well documented. Technology in he classroom has proven to disrupt learning not enable it. The higher cognitive functioning technology was suppose to allow has not materialized. In fact the use of technology has shown students regress in simple tasks.
Technology in schools was always about sales and never about education.
People were waiting for Apple to come out with a TV, not a TV Service. No one fucking cares about ANOTHER streaming TV Service. It was all about the hardware. People thought Apple would do to TV what they did to MP3 players, tablets and cell phones.
I understand Apple wants to rebrand its self as a SERVICE company and not a HARDWARE company but this is revisionist history.
When you have a sample size of 1, it's easy to believe in spells and fairies....however in the real world, in corporate America where turn over is a constant, old programmers get tossed on their ass on a regular basis. Don't believe me, read a few articles about IBM's layoffs. How about the Microsoft? Google? Perhaps UC Medical Center?
The point is if you bothered to read the news and follow what's been going on in the IT sector, you'd understand that state of the industry.
Perhaps but the layoffs will do nothing to correct this. The layoffs are meant to reduce costs. By reducing costs AT&T can funnel more money to investors, as opposed to back into the company to improve operations. So no, this move is not meant to improve the business.
Umm, no it didn't, The Affordable Care Act required people to PURCHASE HEALTH INSURANCE. People still go bankrupt due to medical expenses. People still do not have access to affordable healthcare. Even with health insurance plans (which most of them have high deductibles) people still do not go to the doctor because they cannot afford it.
Right remind me again why Facebook, Google, and Twitter got hauled into Congress to explain Russia hacking or Cambridge Analytica's access to data?
The U.S. government often over sees areas of technology when it feels national security or interests are at risk. The U.S. government restricted sales of Apple's computers to certain countries.
LMOL thanks for adding the qualifier...but yes you can tell the difference. When listening to music on a shitty setup, it's hard to tell how shitty the recording is, when listening to it on an audiophile stereo system, yes, yes you can tell the difference.
More to the point why pay for something less. There's no reason to providing a lossy format when the internet and computer technology can easily support it. We're not talking dial up and floppy disks. WiFi, Cell service, cell phones and usb drives can all accommodate lossless formats.
You're paying from something less for no good reason. At least something they used to provide before streaming...

Actually Musk agreed to get permissions BEFORE he posts such information. So Musk is in violation.
You can stop dick suck Musk now.

31 years and you still can't get it right? You would think at some point you would arrive. Guess with Microsoft it's, "a work in progress."

Come on that's way to obvious of a solution. Don't you know we're suppose to throw tech at a problem with a simple solution.

Exactly get the earlier release.
A big reason cassette tape is still going is content! There's stuff on tape that's not available on CD. It's that simple.
Also, magnetic tape is used for computer backup. So no it's not strictly analog. Jackass.

No, it's just the United States has shitty internet access. Broadband is not available everywhere. Ass-hole.
