China ups tariffs on US goods to 125%, calls Trump's war a 'joke'

Re: Et Tu Musk

So why havent they ?

America needs to learn from their personality cult society where they think that leadership are their benefactors.

America needs to abolish the current position of President, its potential for chaos is nothing more than a termporary dictatorship until the next election.

The genius of the westminster system is the Prime Minister can and often loses their position at any time and ogften for good reason.

Thats why Australia is peaceful no guns and everthing is far more moderate instead of the extremes we see in America.

Re: I love this

Thats why the UK has 500 years of relative peace when compared to the violence America has experienced since it got independence.

Re: Amazon

Why would amazon care ? They dont actally pay for anything they are just parasites who take a cut.

Re: It's all pretty simple if you start with the right perspective

ALl this respect etc thing is a distraction. LOok at how many are talking abiout here, instead of actually measuring what is really happening.

Trump only cares about money, and he is clearly making money from insider trading with all these swings.

Thats what you can measure and thats what actually counts. WHen this all ends, Trump and his mates will walk away with B more... you cant walk away with more or less i am the greatest.

Re: Ye olde pissing match

Trump is not an idiot.

He clearly doesnt care about crashing the economy, on the other hand him and his mates are making a killing by insider trading.

Re: Et Tu Musk

Given how unpopular Trump is today in America, your lame duck story hardly matters. Trump with just his Tariff policy and big mouth has plenty.

Re: Tariffs and the cloud.....

WHy would a billionaire President help non billionaire citizens with his actions ?

Re: Tariffs and the cloud.....

Time to just run your own servers.

The cloud is not cheaper, claims that is is are just an example of American bullshit.

Re: Tariffs and the cloud.....

Hahah..

AWS and Microsoft will never charge customers from America, where the tax is higher when they can charge from a tax haven like Ireland or some island you never heard of.

What makes you think Microsoft and Amazon are loyal and try and pay tax in America ?

Trump derails Chinese H20 GPU sales, forcing Nvidia to eat $5.5B this quarter

Tehres a famous story from Aesop about a scorpion trying to cross a river...

Microsoft OneDrive file sync apps for Windows, Mac broken for 10 months

How is it possible to release something when the major feature is fundamentally broken ?

Then again its. great advertisement for Co-pilot somehow.

Intel flogs off majority stake in Altera to private equity for $4B

Re: Missed opportunity

You forget that Intel leadership only cares about Intel leadership not Intel, just like Trump only cares about Trump not America.

Good too see the intel leadership never forgets to make a few dollars or next years bonus.

Tech tariff turmoil continues as Trump admin exempts some electronics, then promises to bring taxes back

Re: Tech CEOs backed Trump

No NVidia got an exception because Trump got a kickback.

Its not about America, its about Trump making a dollar.

He is a mental case in most peoples eyes, but in his own he is making a killing with insider trading.

WHat is wrong with America, that such an idiot and his mates even manage to rise to the top ?

Surely the system is supposed to weed out people like this ?

Satellite phone tech coming to your mobe this year – but who pays for it?

Thi sis a fake achievement, like apple and their constant acheivements of reducing the next macbokpro by 0.5 mm.

Why does anyone need this ?

99.99999 people are so lazy they cant even cross the road... they will. never get lost in the outback sinply because its too much effor tto try.

Pentagon celebrates snipping 0.58% from defense budget in IT, DEI cuts

Re: Efficiency oversight

Have you ever seen a computer or smart device near DJT ?

He doesnt know how to use one in any capacity.

Re: Actually

He did drain the swamp, he gave all those jobs to his family and friends

Re: Terminating the Tourist industry

Those overweight big finger americans will be able to pick and carry far more fruits.

Re: Actually

Like all things its always better to have the devil you know that a surprise.

I would argue in todays modern world its better to have incompetant governments who do nothing. Look at what happens when a government does something new or different, aka DJT.

Pick up the garbage, clean the roads, fix schools and hospitals. Thats all i want from my government nothing more.

The reality is we dont live in a perfect world, a lot is unfair and bullshit, and change doesnt mean its getting better, aka again Elon and Donald.

How long before some major military system is borked ?

White House budget proposal could beam NASA science back decades

All those patriots in America and yet not a single one can actually stop DJT.

Hollywood.

Trump thinks we can make iPhones in the US just like China. Yeah, right

Re: It's not the labour, it's the supply chain

Cocaine requires mountains, it doesnt grow at sea level.

Re: It’s just wages,

South Korea is not a powerhouse.

Sleeping and working and having no other life is not success.

Re: A used care salesman is not really a "businessman".

He has today, he must have made a few B with this stock manipulation.

I have a revolutionary idea about bringing manufacturing back to the USA.

Isntead of Apple selling Iphones, they can sell empty boxes with a picture of Tim or Steve inside.

Hey i said that years ago about Tim. I will say it again today. The thing killing American manufacturing are is the tax known as Bonuses for leadership like TIm and his mates.

Re: Most of the iPhone is built by robots

The sad thing is all this talk about American jobs is also a lie because they (Trump and his mates) also talk about using robots to do the "American Jobs".

So there are no americans job in the end anyway.

Re: I don't see the issue.

Slavery is more efficient, a company town requires attendants to run the company store and all that jazz. I fyou dont pay workers you can skip a few levels of beaucracy.

Im pretty sure 1x Elon could make more phones in a day than a million peasants with his super skills.

Self-driving car maker Musk's DOGE rocks up at self-driving car watchdog, cuts staff

I head they spend trillions on them... and theres no income of any. kind.

Nvidia paid $1M for Mar-a-Lago meal, US later scrapped AI chip export crackdown

Re: "and he takes a bribe..."

Im using a rhetorical question as a conversation device.

I never claimed in my post that i BELIEVE, im simply pointing out Trumps logic in his MAGA policy.

Tech CEO: Four-day work week didn't hurt or help productivity

What an arsehole CEO, he never actually measures or mentions whether the employees thmselves like the arrangement.

What a psycopath.

Re: Experience a friend had with 4 day week

The problem is work especially in IT is almost never rewarded based on merit. Im sure many here have stories where they could improve something but its reject by others who dont understand etc.

EU lands 25% counter tariff punch on US, Trump pauses broad import levy hike – China excepted

You misunderstand what "Planned" means. It doesnt mean it the consequences of the action are good, it simply means they had an idea and tried to acheive something. Because something is a disaster or joke doesnt mean its not planned.

Re: EU to charge citizens 25% extra tax on loads of stuff and pocket a stash of their cash.

Bene: Strangely, that grievance is not with the USA. It's with this nebulous thing called "the West", which might not actually exist.

cow: No China groups America with the West. America was very much an active colonizer during the century of shame and also had its own colonies with china.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_of_humiliation

> The century of humiliation was a period in Chinese history beginning with the First Opium War (1839–1842), and ending in 1945 with China (then the Republic of China) emerging out of the Second World War as one of the Big Four and established as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, or alternately, ending in 1949 with the founding of the People's Republic of China. The century-long period is typified by the decline, defeat and political fragmentation of the Qing dynasty and the subsequent Republic of China, which led to demoralizing foreign intervention, annexation and subjugation of China by Western powers, Russia, and Japan.

Its pathetic so many people downvoted me and pretend this doesnt exist when it clearly does.

Re: No feet left to shoot

Thank you brain dead down voters. Im sure America needs mor eparasites like Elon giving themselves billion dollar payouts. Im sure Elon will use all that money efficiently to buid schools and free hospitals for your kids.

America has never been free.

Look at the NFL ?

Is that an example of a free market ? It doesnt even have any promotion or relegation of any kind. Same for NBA or MLB.

Its all planned and cartels.

Who needs enemies when you have friends like America ?

Re: No feet left to shoot

You forgot the tax to pay or leadership and management.

Re: No feet left to shoot

Wheres the talk about cutting leadership million dollar payouts ?

Even the average American has trouble saying this basic problem with the unsustainablity and stupidity of paying people Elon $50B and then claiming theres no money to pay American workers.

Its ironic how Trump is actively targetting and hurting the very people who are his supporters.

Re: Trump vs the EU

What are you telling me that "Going Yippee" isnt Shakespeare ?

Apps-from-prompts Firebase Studio is a great example – of why AI can't replace devs

Copilot is dumb. All it does is basically randomly code complete or pick given the current context. If your var is this then it picks the most popular method or field in your code base. Nothing smart.

How could it be smart if it has no idea what your goal is ?

Ex-Meta exec tells Senate Zuck dangled US citizen data in bid to enter China

Re: Meta has some of the best minds in a generation

Stop the CEO worship.

Steve Jobs didnt do shit, he stole a lot of credit for a lot of hard working people we dont know by name.

ITs this sort of stupid pretending that leadership does everything that has made DJT and ELON into heroes and given them more power than they should ever have had.

Bezos cost Amazon more than Jassy did in 2024 compensation stakes

If Trump wants to MAGA, it needs to look at the parasites who are taxing the big corporations.

> Bezos, who is worth an estimated $189 billion, stepped back as CEO in July 2021 and switched to the role of executive chairman.

Of course AMerican cant compeete when millions are wasted on someone who literally does nothing for the company.
