Apple just posted a huge drop in revenue guidance forecasting they will make roughly $8B less in revenue for Q1, down to $84B from $92B. Tim Cook's letter to shareholders is pretty damning: "While we anticipated some challenges in key emerging markets, we did not foresee the magnitude of the economic deceleration, particularly in Greater China. In fact, most of our revenue shortfall to our guidance, and over 100 percent of our year-over-year worldwide revenue decline, occurred in Greater China across iPhone, Mac and iPad." "We believe the economic environment in China has been further impacted by rising trade tensions with the United States. As the climate of mounting uncertainty weighed on financial markets, the effects appeared to reach consumers as well, with traffic to our retail stores and our channel partners in China declining as the quarter progressed. " This is Bad News in two ways: 1) Apple is considered a bellwether for many tech companies. If it's struggling to sell things in China, odds are likely that many other tech companies will struggle too (trade wars are easy to win, though). 2) It provides a solid data point that is in line with the chatter that China's economy is slowing down faster than expected It'll be interesting to see how this impacts the trade negotiations since this is basically bad news for both parties. It's hard to say who's hurt more between China and the US at this point, but if we continue to see American companies suffering like this we could start to see more fracturing from the business wing of the Republican party.

GreyjoyBastard posted:she speaks Spanish and shares my weird Hispanic/Asian occasional ethnicity blindness, so she's unsure as to whether she can launch into Spanish with a given person I'm with you on this one. I've met a fair number of Quechua people that would probably blend into a crowd in Mongolia without much trouble. The number of takes in this thread about it being impossible to confuse Spanish speakers with Mongolians is kinda overblown. Hell, there are plenty of Quechua folks who don't even speak Spanish. Quechua:   Mongolian:  EDIT: It's a bad joke that is badly constructed, but I don't see it as malicious. There are a fuckton of different cultures in South America, and they certainly don't all look Mexican. Priapus Unbound fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Jan 3, 2019 |

Lmao, Fox News called Brown Broth Romney's op-ed a "blistering attack on the President" Mitt Romney has never done anything blistering besides walk up and down streets annoying people about Golden Plates in Utah They really are desperate for a principled conservative narrative that is trying to rein in Trump. This is hilariously absurd.

Babylon Astronaut posted:Racism and sexism are mechanisms of class in society. The explicit point of both of those are to create a permanent under-class that those in power have no risk of falling into. Fighting racism IS fighting the class war. And, again, explaining it like that makes sense but I've brushed up against too many straight white dudes chanting it for me to blindly nod along with it when i see it.
