It really depends on what Trump means by " built in the US". It won't be that big of a jump if Apple is just assembling them there. If every component has to come from the US it's likely impossible.

Apple is vertically integrated in a way many companies are not. It would be bad for them for sure but they already have really high profit margins. They could eat the cost and assemble in the US, but they won't because they are already a velban good.

This says less about toddlers than it does about what Apple knows the public requires to use a computer.

Are the speed/ red light cameras hidden where you are.

Our red light cameras are usually at intersections and people tend to know about them because they are always trying to vandalise them.

I'll note as well this makes it really obvious to your current employer and co-workers that you are applying for other jobs.

Most of these replies seem to be missing the reason. Paramount is trying to merge and needs FCC approval and the Trump administration has been using the FCC as a cudgel to keep them in line.

This is hardly the first, and definitely not the last corporate fad. We should have just about finished moving everything to the block chain by now.

I remember the cube, might not have been this, might have just been the animation to change desktops.

The reality is that more and more web users are phone and tablet only.

Phones and tablets are consumer devices and most users are consumers rather than creators. This is especially true outside the Anglo-sphere and in developing countries.

All this to say it's going to get worse and may never get better.

That's the standard in North America as well for single family homes or even condo buildings where they might put the condenser on the balcony or use a heat pump with a central loop.

I would guess these are popular in New York because they have many many old buildings with central heat and it's easier to punch a hole in the wall then hang somethings off the building 8 floors up. Also easier to work on the unit.
