Something that small, they likely just squeeze them between hot threaded rollers. The custom tooling was only the head as even Apple uses standard threads.
But that's a business with such low margins it's all in low cost countries. Apples problem is not using off the shelf 'penny parts'.
Tooling requires lead time. But there is nothing magic about any of it. Screw making machines are old technology. I assume these dinky screws are made with hot rollers.
The key is (ROI * (1 - corporatetax) * (1 - Capgainstax) * (1 - Corruptiontax)). That number is pretty consistent, world wide. It Has to be, if your nation doesn't compete on after tax ROI it gets no investments.
Of course ROI isn't guaranteed, past performance is not a guarantee...
Accounting tricks don't generally get money back to the investors, which is where the rubber meets the road.
For how many? There are still low volume shops that do the exact same thing in the USA. Yes it costs more, but if you want 100 the Chinese are unlikely to return your emails.
Not Google but NSA/GCHQ etc (and yes, they've got your google profile, DNS, torrents etc etc). It's not even a conspiracy theory anymore, just a fact.
'3 eyes' is when the ship officially sailed, 1945. They kept metadata (who people had called) on paper. We spy on England, England spys on us (Australia etc etc), everybody shares. Nobodies constitution gets 'violated'. Privacy shmivacy.
Free anon services are an invitation to poison the well.
'Have you ever had the solution to a tough coding problem occur to you when doing something completely unrelated?' would make a good interview question. If it didn't have such an obvious 'correct' answer. Only catch the honest, who I would assume never got through HR.
The people that can honestly say 'Yes, it's part of the process.' are the born coders.
I pretty much assume my first solution will not be the best one (for new problems). Better solutions (even if it's just 'doh, wrong pattern') often occur to me while single stepping code.
It's not insane to put sensors on things you know are going to be ignored by your target market. Why BMWs have electric low brake pad sensors (for many decades now). They talk about 'driving machine' but know their typical driver isn't paying enough attention to notice brake squealers.
For a week or two. After that, they are crispy and progressively more useless.
The best business reason to limit hours is so the crew has enough in the tank to handle a real emergency. That means you can't be in constant emergency mode.
When I did EE, calc and physics 1 did most of the heavy lifting with regard to getting students to 'rethink their major'. It didn't take long at all.
We were down 20% in less than a week. 50% by the end of the first semester. A few of those might have dropped the class and kept the major, but that was just their ego holding them back. Most of the 'fails' switched down to CS, then failed there as well. (CS lacked rigor, they could get away with taking 'baby calculus'/'calc for business majors', which of course was _not_ the prerequisite for diffEq.)
The really bad ones start by taking remedials for a year or more, but they weren't allowed to declare as engineering students until they got the remedials done.
Iran was in danger of losing to Iraq at that point.
The stalemate had to be maintained.
That was Sunni/Shia war #175, they are on #176 in Syria/Yemen/Iraq right now. But good news, we've got a very experienced crew at maintaining that stalemate.
Dad taught med students chemistry. When he gets a few drinks into him, he will often brag about the number of 'memorizing morons' who he stopped from becoming physicians by giving them a B (mostly general chem, before they got to the memorize fest that is organic.) His claim is that it was _common_ for pre meds to not be able to balance a RedOx equation, a subject they all got As in during HS.
The have any hope of getting into med school they have to have a 4.0 in premed (on a 4 point scale). If they didn't have a 4.0 in HS and their counselor lets them major in pre-med, they have been ill served.

Nation states are a much bigger threat than corporations. Moron. Pay attention. One just wants money, the other is all about power. Stupid.

Bud is chewy next to coors light.
Not saying it's not terrible, just that you can get much closer to water (think on a log scale) than bud.
Before that, it was the experienced people that knew what the machine was supposed to sound like. Some places paid attention.
The news is that it got cheap enough that a bunch of PHBs an inbev deployed it.
Are the noises louder than the stereo?

If it's available on any airline flight, check. Cans in MASS production is implied.
If it's available in cans at all, check. Odds are good its InBev or the 'other one'.
EA hasn't made games of their own in _decades_. Their studios are in a constant state of birth/death as EA churns.

Binary coded decimal. Two digits in a byte. How things were done, back in the stone age.
56% work less than 40 hours? EA must be better than their reputation.

MD = Memorized Degree.
Med school has been like that forever in the USA.

There have always been many _terrible_ CS programs.
CS is a mixed bag, it's generally taught out of one of three schools/departments. In descending order of desirability: Engineering, Math, Business.
Often CS is it's own 'department' but it can always be traced back.
Once you've identified local schools where CS is in the business school. You can just stop interviewing those graduates, they suck.

That basically never changes.
But when it's a goldrush (85, 99, now) , there are even more unqualified/unprepared freshman.
The FAA will not like your sub 1000ft AGL aerobatics. Not generally enforced is not the same as legal.
Modern Helipads are rarely on the building top. Winds are typically too high.
