Apple is selling its products globally, not just China. Why China's economy decreasing would impact Apple's revenue so dramatically? All blames go to China?

Google glass should also on the list

why I need to tip in restaurant? any other countries have such policy?

yeah, it's much crazy radical like this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18850770 So basically the hospital charge extra money for those legal residency's human right to support those illegal ones' human right. That's great!

Combined with this news, it's so ironic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18851731

Only US still stick with tip. Why the customer need to pay extra money named as tip?

what's your point for this? If someone bought any Apple products, they also pay tax to California, should they also get free healthcare at California?

why healthcare is different with housing, education and food? If I don't have safe place to live, enough food to eat, I will get sick inevitable.

Please get out of California, especially SV, and go to mid-US, there are so many US citizens can't afford daily food.

if so, why should any patient pay the bill to the hospital?

I agree with you only if when you homeless, don't ask me to increase my tax rate to provide you free food and shelter. And please persuade Seattle government, those homeless are their own choice, and they deserve it.

But they are not UK's local manufactures. They are same as Apple as foreigner brands.

But VOA think that's not normal, and it's a political signal. Do you believe? https://www.voachinese.com/a/news-us-china-travel-20180703/4...

But in UK, there is not too many alternative phones, like Huawei, OPPO/vivo, Xiaomi. All those local players in China are based on Android, but still provide customized OS with unique features.

The answer is similar with current computer market. Most of people in the world still choose the cheaper PC, even Mac is more beautiful, solid and fancy.

I agree with buy apps, but not the rest. There are lots of local content providers, like Tencent Music, Tecent Video, iQiyi, Netease Music, Youku, which provides music/video streaming service with much better localized content.

1. China is the second biggest market for Apple 2. The cellphone competition in China is hotter than other regions, and the local players manufactured cheaper and competitive phones, like Huawei, OPPO/Vivo, Xiaomi 3. The whole economy situation is not good, the consumer would be more cautious for expensive consuming.

I would say the legalization of marijuana

China's warning is related with US randomly violence, gun shooting, robbery etc (if you understand Chinese: http://www.china-embassy.org/chn/lszj/zytz/t1597786.htm). US and China are very different countries, like in China, the downtown of metropolis is very safe at night, but in US is totally different. And also, gun shooting in US is really normal, but extremely rare in China.

Tesla is the ONLY player in US only. There are plenty EV players in China right now. NIO with ES8/ES6 https://www.nio.io Xiaopeng with G3: https://www.xiaopeng.com Weima with Ex5:https://www.wm-motor.com

I would say those posters are created by some software, definitely not that person.

That's funny. The cities have most homeless are the places where Marijuana be legalized states: SF(California) and Seattle (Washington).

As a software engineer, I knew the bug in every software is inevitable. What we should do is learning from each bug and try to find a solution to avoid repeat the mistake, either by some engineering process, or more tests. And blindly blame the engineer who wrote the codes is stupid.

Interesting, why USA needs to recruiting foreign IT professionals easier? Why the other countries don't have such concern? The right way shouldn't be improve the STEM education to provide more qualify new graduates?

US has self driving cars, which is much fancy.

Another example is about Boston's Big Dig. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Dig $6 billions with 15 years for 1.5 miles tunnel. What a horrible project!

you remind me of this incident as a joke: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Washington_train_derailme...

The similar question is, I can write zero line codes with Wordpress eCommerce to setup a eCommerce site like Amazon.com, why Jeff Bezos would spent so much money and hired thousands people to develop Amazon.com?

Then Apple can contribute $X out of US, like China, India etc.

maybe not provide them the smartphone, and also limited the time of playing tablet?
