Can't wait to see his take on Apple Euro fine. Will he manage more than the "Good" he gave UoC?

I finally unsubscribed after that particular hot take. What a fuckwit.

I could wind up in the minority on this point, but hands-on room feedback was on my side, and, well, I consider myself a connoisseur of button clickiness.

lol - the obvious reason is that they want to have a year of feedback on a home button-less iPhone before they move to the edge to edge, no-button iPhone 8 as is the rumor - but yes, let's blame China Grubs

Pinboard @Pinboard 4h4 hours agoI make sure to block The Deck with hand-crafted, elegant code I wrote myself.

I expect Tim Cook to handle himself just fine. I think he’ll leave Trump Tower with his dignity, integrity, and Apple Inc.’s interests under a Trump administration intact. (Getting a bill passed to repatriate foreign-held dollars at a reasonable tax rate could happen in the post-Trump political climate.) But, man, to be a fly on the wall in that room if Steve Jobs were still alive…

For those of you who erroneously claim I never link to stories about Republicans with approval, here you go: I love this. I hope they succeed. These are Republicans whose eyes are wide open to reality. (Maybe not the reality of today’s Republican party, but the reality of climate change.)

This is about as vigorous a response to Susan Fowler’s allegations as Kalanick could possibly pursue. Eric Holder isn’t going to sweep anything under the rug.
If Holder goes after Uber like he went after Wall st., Kalanick will just pay a fine and be done with it.

Personally, I think these establishments are morally repulsive.
I understand that Asian culture is different from U.S. culture, and I understand that part of Asian culture — certainly in South Korea — is “doing business” in such establishments. But The Information’s story doesn’t say the Uber execs were “doing business” with Koreans. They were a bunch of Americans out amongst themselves, so the cultural norms of South Korea aren’t relevant.
