Trump says he doesn’t want Apple building products in India: ‘I had a little problem with Tim Cook’

Tim Apple lying?!?

[9YearLurker]

But this is inching to fascism.

I’ll give it a try if there’s a free version. I don’t expect it to integrate as seamlessly with my SQL Server Express DB as MS tools. But it’s worth a try. Especially when my MS Visual Studio 2013 gets too old to use. LOL

Read the book.

Those phones cost less than $100 to build so Apple could easily make them here.

MySQL is used by some pretty major operations (e.g. Facebook). It isn’t Oracle, but it not accurate to call it lightweight. Even my favored FileMaker Pro can handle tables with 10,000,000+ records related to half-a-dozen other tables, with numerous calc and summary fields. It is all a matter of throwing enough hardware at it. God Bless SSDs and NVME storage.

I have no problem with Apple building in India, if the products it builds in India are for the markets in India and surrounding countries.

Cook, like that arsehole Jobs before him, rejoice in using slave labor. All Apple devices depend upon that — which might explain in part why Apple treats its customers as slaves.

It’s nationalism. For better or worse, it appears Trump is trying to turn the clock back to the 1940s. Things will be made to last forever (again), and they had better— for what they’ll cost you!

[9YearLurker]

Good—I like it that way!

[Tell It Right]

Agreed with MySQL being able to handle large datasets, at least really large ones...if you give it enough time. For some of my employers/clients that would have been an issue. Respectfully, I doubt Facebook uses MySQL for most of its heavyweight DB operations.

And IIRC MySQL had a problem handling many simultaneous transactions. Nor, IIRC, does it do transaction handling. Admittedly, my memories of this are from years ago and newer versions of MySQL may have fixed these problems.

There is no way Americans are going to work for $5 hr or less to keep the iPhone affordable and not adding $1000 to the price. There are not hundreds of thousands of vocationally skilled workers in the US [ let alone in some city ] to do the assembling.

47 knows that US iPhone assembly is not possible, and if he forces the issue, he would destroy Apple.

From scaleyourapp.com

“ MySQL is the primary database used by Facebook for storing all social data. They started with the InnoDB MySQL database engine and then wrote MyRocksDB, which was eventually used as the MySQL Database engine.

Memcache sits in front of MySQL as a cache.

To manage BigData Facebook leverages Apache Hadoop, HBase, Hive, Apache Thrift and PrestoDB. All these are used for data ingestion, warehousing and running analytics.”

Other sites state that MySQL does fine on simultaneous transactions (especially with DB engine InnoDB) as long as you keep users per core under 128.

I use databases differently, as I work with large, complex datasets, but NO competition for resources. I am creating a large output, but utterly static. Hence, front ends for on the fly customization is MUCH more important than abolity to handle Home Depots transaction volume.

A usable front end, which for me MySQL does not have, is my main issue with it.

Thanks for clarifying.

Who predicted it would be the GOP that would give us a centrally planned economy?

[central_va]

The amount of labor per phone is trivial compared to what the retail price is. They could build them inthe USA.

[central_va]

Do really think the labor per phone made in the USA would be 1000 per phone? Are freepers that dumb!

[central_va]

The labor per phone now is around $20 . Make it here and it goes to $50 a $30 increase. Big deal
