More like they should pay the extra for American employees instead of outsourcing it to Chinese nationals.

Apple makes it easy for China - that’s where they do so much of their manufacturing in near slave labor factories.

It’s not about greed. They literally believe in doing whatever’s necessary for their country to succeed.

I attended the graduate engineering commencement at USC (University of Southern California, not South Carolina) last Friday. My daughter was getting her masters in astronautical engineering, but the commencement was for the full range of graduate engineering programs. The number of Chinese and Indian students is…

If extradited from China

Never underestimate the allure hiring someone who promises to work stupid hours for next to nothing.

Hiring a Chinese national for any sensitive IP work is a terrible idea. Theft of IP is a huge driver for China’s economy and military, and I hope stories like this have a chilling effect.

Haven’t had a spam call in months.   Thank you Google Call Screening/Spam Block. 

The problem is that most people who get these calls are on the Do Not Call registry anyway, which Telemarketers abide by. Its the scam calls that pretend to be Telemarketers/Charities that are the real problem. And they don’t abide by any laws, because they’re, you know...criminals.

Uh ISPs have been doing this for well over a decade? Got nastygrams from AT&T back in 2010 for downloading fansubs of Naruto episodes.

Freaking awesome. Does anybody know how to build that orbital satellite? Some of the bosses are surprisingly brutal.

By the logic of this post, there’s a 35 year old 486 in my closet that can play X-Com 2 because it can remote in to another desktop running Windows.

Id give it a week before someone “jailbreaks” the Telly to disable ads and run Doom on the bottom screen.

Note that TVs saying they have “Dolby Atmos” is meaningless. Atmos is an audio format. Yes, the TV’s internal apps could process Atmos audio data and transfer it via eARC HDMI to an external receiver, which could play Atmos if it is hooked up to, at least, 7 speakers and a subwoofer (5.1.2).

Cue the Weird Al!

Hmm, must have been a company policy then.  I worked at a big box home center years ago and if we worked over 8 hours in a day, we got time and a half, if we went over 12 hours in a day, we got double time.  And if we went over 40 in a week, we got time and a half, over 60 in a week was double.

If they’re trying to slow me down with curvy roads, they’re doing it wrong.

Yeah, for fast casual dining (or at any self checkout), I will never tip and will also not feel one bit guilty.

I feel zero remorse or guilt when I press the No Tip option on digital pay systems. I will tip when I want to, I do not need a prompt/notification asking if I want to tip. If I’m given great service, I tip, plain and simple. Crappy service? Crappy Tip. Be a dick to me, no tip.

In a similar case, 28-year-old Corey Gary was prompted to leave a tip at a self-service beer fridge in San Diego’s Petco Park. Gary told the Journal that he wasn’t clear where the money was going, but left 20% anyway.
