    Trump threatens Apple with 25% tariff to force iPhone manufacturing into US

    I'm waiting for the 30% tariff on to go to 200% any day now that the media is suggesting that Trump backed down. He's a big strong man after all.

    Feds continue effort to defund research at Harvard

    #1 This has to be illegal #2 Israel sucks, and their treatment of the Palestinians is getting pretty close to how the Germans treated the Jews in the 30s and 40s #3 Just because #2 is true does not me I hate Jews - I can have a negative opinion of the nation state of Israel - this does not...

    Amazon’s Chinese sellers to raise prices or quit US market as tariffs hit 145%

    I'm always surprised when I run across utterly ignorant people on Ars. Why are you even here? You're clearly not intelligent enough to understand the content.

    Amazon’s Chinese sellers to raise prices or quit US market as tariffs hit 145%

    I'd suggest that more than doubling the cost of Chines items is already past that number. Items that cost $10 costing $25 almost overnight is going to cause a huge decline in sales. Making that $35 or $45 probably wouldn't have much more impact. As usual, the best negotiator in the world shot...

    Trump administration’s attack on university research accelerates

    Whenever Trump does something, ask yourself "who benefits?" From where I sit, the answer is frequently "billionaires", but the concurrent answer is almost always "Russia". I posted on here 10+ years ago that Trump is Putin's bitch, and everything he's done in the last 10 years supports that...

    The trick to making great pour-over coffee with fewer beans

    French press is just fine and anyone who says different doesn't know how to grind their beans properly or use one. I use V60, Chemex and French press on a daily basis, and they all brew delicious coffee. I visit a lot of coffee shops (not starbucks, or the big chains) and I've never once had...

    The trick to making great pour-over coffee with fewer beans

    Plastic, particularly that Hario V60 is fine. Counterpoint - porcelain sucks all the heat out of your brew water leading to poorer extraction.

    Trump gives China one day to end retaliations or face extra 50% tariffs

    This is true, but China is a bit of a problem with their economy manufacturing a huge surplus that cannot be absorbed domestically. The best way to deal with that problem would be with the assistance of all your allies and by presenting a unified front. Oops... This approach is practically...

    Trump gives China one day to end retaliations or face extra 50% tariffs

    I think all affected countries should immediately impose 100% plus tariffs on American goods AND services. Especially the penguins. Also, stop trading in dollars and trade in Euros and Yuan. Also, also, Canada should impose export tariffs on energy. $8 gas will really hurt, but it will hurt...

    Auto industry braces for chaos as Trump sets 25% tariff on all imports

    Well, I'm glad my policy is to buy used but this is going to drive up demand for used cars and those prices are probably going up to, probably more than 25%. It's too bad that most American manufactures build shit.
