>I think Apple would be on solid ground if they refused to do business in China

It's not about Apple being on solid ground with anyone. It's about wether Tim Cook can keep his job if shareholders flip their shit.

The alternative is to stop doing business in China, is that what you want Apple to do?

The percentage of iPhone/Mac users that care enough about VPN in China to switch to Android/Windows wouldn't even be a rounding error.

So you can swim in it in your money bin.

This guy seems like quite the blowhard. I do, however, need to know if he also does this to men. I've had a few co-workers that just talk on and on without letting other people get a word in. They do this to everyone.

They're expected to act like robots. They'll soon be replaced by actual robots.

Exactly! If part of middle management's evaluation is based on how many packages their underlings deliver, middle management will start hiring (or give more hours to) people they think are more likely to signup for this and cut (or reduce hours to) people that don't do this.

>unenforceable

What part do you think would be unenforceable?

So many things that don't make sense. Why not flights leaving the U.S. to Europe? Why not flights to and from Asia, South America, etc...?

Maybe they're saving those other bans for when they need to distract us from other news stories again.

What companies would you invest in if you're in charge of Berkshire amount of money?

Your father probably doesn't have a "super common" name.

What's your point? Are you suggesting that Detroit Water is some how to blame?

The amount would be way over Judge Judy's limit.

You only become a pro when you actually get money.

I am the type of person that would benefit from self-driving cars. I don't pay attention.

I tried a bunch of zip codes in California, none are available. Phoenix, Arizona works though, I think they're still only testing there.

Why not use stats from April 18th then?

Saw on TV news this morning, those weren't even real cops. They were private security hired by United. They were even told to stop wearing jackets that said "POLICE" months ago, but kept wearing them.

That's great, but why not make them round?

>not about environmentalism

From the article: "Finally, invites are not environmentally friendly as they are one time use and easily lost or misplaced."

Doesn't freedom of speech trump that?

> So, basically, they cry foul in UP accusing the machines were rigged. But, they happily accept the same machines' verdict in Punjab and form the govt and conveniently ignore the fact that in two other states the same machines gave them the single largest party status.

I have no dog in this fight, so this is not political but purely a response on the reasoning.

Questioning the security of a system doesn't mean you believe all such systems have been compromised.

The way I understand it is that they can offer any amount they want to get volunteers. But if they want to involuntarily bump someone, they have to pay at least four times the one-way fare that passenger paid, up to $1,350.

So bumping the person that paid the least for their ticket would mean they have to pay them the least.

The cap is the maximum of what passengers are legally entitled to. The airlines can offer more if they want.

Exactly! This wasn't the last chopper out of Saigon. Someone would have given up their seat in exchange for more money.

> Over here

We don't know where you are, you need to tell us where "here" is.

So is there a danger that I may have Bitcoins from the wrong branch after the fork? How can I tell?

Ah, got it. I tip base off of the pre-tax amount just out of principle.

Ah, the old "What do they call the person who graduates last in medical school?"

> This is partially because credit card receipts only include the total, not the tax separated out. So really, anything under around 22% is a bad tip.

Can you explain the math? Why is this amount higher than 20% rather than lower than 20%?
