If we want to be ridiculous, should we talk about Trump sharing intelligence with Russians, causing American allies to limit intelligence sharing?

It would be the most effective way to hurt Americans. But it isn’t politically possible for Canada to do this. The two segments that would be most effective, oil & gas and potash happen to come from provinces that already have significa

I guess that explains why Dave Verwer handed off ownership of the iOS Dev Weekly newsletter. Always great to see community members see success.

Correction: the class war already started long ago. Unfortunately the lower classes are not only getting trounced, they mostly don’t know the war is happening.

They supported it because they saw an opportunity to remove limitations on them, both domestically (see FCC, restrictions on state level AI laws, etc) as well as internationally (regulations, digital taxes, etc in the EU and Canada, for exa

I think you are giving Trump way too much credit. He is a much simpler man - he sees a weakness or some leverage, then he will use that for financial gain. No more than that.

For what it is worth, there are lots of double DIN aftermarket AirPlay options for a C6. No need for an iPad.

That may or may not be true. But what is immediately clear is that Trump has no idea how to accomplish it. Americans are in I believe 6 months of contraction in manufacturing jobs.

But none of that really changed. The money printer is still going ant the same pace, and will only be going faster in the coming year. And the Federal layoffs from the DOGE nonsense haven’t even started to hurt since so many are still getti

Maybe I am missing something but ~1/3 of voting age Americans voted for this. Trump was very clear that tariffs were coming, and even warned that Americans should be prepared for some tough times. And another ~1/3 were comfortable

I got a request a few months ago for a sysdiagnose for a bug I filed for their in app purchase server API. There really is very little reason to file bugs with Apple now.

> It had Republican support so it would've gotten the 60 votes in Senate without needing to get reconciliation That is a bit of a jump. It wasn’t too long ago we had the Republicans vote against their own bill.

> Or only when it crosses ~$100 million like President Trump did ? I believe you missed another option. The President-elect has been convicted for fraud, is a big believer in quid pro quo, and did similar actions in his first term. Somet

Will the Americans stop massive dairy over production that is supported by government programs like “government cheese”? Or massive farm subsidies? You need to expand your view beyond the latest talking points.

Just over a year ago the agreed upon settlement process from NAFTA 2.0 ruled that Canada was not doing anything out of line with the 2018 agreement. The current quota system was also agreed to in 2018. What we are seeing from the Americans

It is important to differentiate between immigrants vs temporary workers and foreign students. What Canadians seem to have issue with is the latter, which is being abused by Canadian companies. The anger should be aimed at the rich in Canad

The current state of the US is the roadblock to this. We already have very high economic integration between Canada and the US, but we now have to deal with a belligerent and incompetent American administration coming in that seems dead set

My job is typically to deliver features that make the company money. The writing of code is just a part of that. In my experience the people who solely focus on the code end up being significantly less effective.

This is an unfortunate attitude. The current state of things in our industry is a reflection of this “not my job” way of doing things.

The company puts A LOT of effort into its program for hiring new grads. But is horribly inept when it comes to providing a career path for individual contributors. So unless you manage to get a promotion to a senior IC position (like me), y

It is fairly obvious. If it is expected that a product or set of features will drive X revenue per month, and you are late by Y months, then a decision that directly contributes to that delay just cost the company money.

I just had a very valuable teammate quit this week from lack of salary progression. New-ish grads are making more than him for much lesser jobs. The business refused to do even a token salary increase because of the ‘economic climate’ Now a
