The intent is different.

If you do this to get everyone into health insurance that has a different base than if you do it because you want it for your own gain.

Why do you have this image of Apple might be the better question here.

I was able to afford a PC for a long time before i was able to afford an Apple product.

The PC platform did so much more for every single human being on our planet than any apple product will ever do.

Apple is doing a great job on being the innovative hipster company they are, don't get me wrong.

But Android had an real impact.

Google provided Maps free as one of the first.

I use a MacBook at work and sitll use more Microsoft products. Microsoft has much more products and is much more diverse then Apple. Those are just two totally different companies with different focuses.

Microsoft works on tons of fronts, Apple does that on one and Apple has to succeed in its small focus area while microsoft doesn't.

But yeah lets see how the sword will come down on Trumpy.

I do think corona shows rather nicely how critical good leadership is.

We should assume that other things also had impacts for people lives.

Otherwise it would mean that a President isn't relevant at all.

While one person takes care of a self-serving deal for golf courses, the other person would sit down and educate themselves on topics like climate change, education and current education system issues etc.

I'm quite bewildered, that you actually prefer a self-serving deals over everything else he could do.

And your two options are missleading arent they? Its not a black and white topic.

So the assembly code is different?

Is it easier, more logical?

Others misstake doesn't make it better. We should have always stood up and made it clear that lying is not okay.

And 'any other president'. Really? Do you have examples for this? I'm not aware of any president doing it that strong, that crazy, that often.

What specifically made you wish for ARM? Is there something specific with ARM which is not possible in X86?

I personally looking for factors like: low Power, high Performance, snappiness and 4k display support.

I have no real wish for ARM because it doesn't matter what architecture i use if it is compatible to what i need.

If Apple would have brought out M1 x86, it would also have helped the market.

My problem with this is really simple: You do see the scaling effect in stuff like corona or on a sunny sunday:

Suddenly everyone is going to the park.

What if suddenly everyone stops looking at news? Acting and reacting?

What if the stress i get through the news will never be necessary but what if there is another regime and we need everyone being on alert and standing up and knowing whats going on?

Yin and Yang, finding the balance in our generation is not easy. I get that, i see that, i experience it myself but while i'm sometimes ready to not care i'm worried that i might not react correctly anymore when it counts.
