@aturbo17 @peterpham I am pretty sure as drafted it would run into a wide array of constitutional challenges but go off, calling me racist definitely makes sense — PolitiTweet.org

@panzer The problem here is that there is so much Apple design corrupted by obviously merciless business decisions at this point — PolitiTweet.org

There are probably better ways to make a camera UI, but if I have to get you to quit iMessage or whatever, I might as well make switching camera apps really really easy along the way. (I’m not convinced of this but i could be. I think.) — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a muddle of an idea I’m still working through: it makes sense that other device makers copy iOS so shamelessly? It’s hard to move apps, messaging, data between platforms the copying is the only real way to reduce switching costs, and it’s not that Apple made the best way — PolitiTweet.org

To this day the funniest thing about the entire Foxconn debacle (to me, anyway) is when the company settled on "Wisconsin has magic dirt" when asked why the buildings in Mount Pleasant did not have the required foundations to actually build LCDs. https://t.co/JLrgoiZwzw https://t.co/5vsdbeZJno — PolitiTweet.org

There's nothing in the new contract between Wisconsin and Foxconn that would suggest that this plant will produce Fisker EVs, which was what Foxconn wanted people to think for a minute there. — PolitiTweet.org

nilay patel @reckless

Foxconn has fully caved to reality in Wisconsin and accepted a deal reflecting that there is no LCD factory. The original $2.85 billion subsidy package for 13,000 employees now scaled back to 1,454 employees doing, um, something with an $80m tax subsidy. https://t.co/oJeAHUHefx — PolitiTweet.org
