So, he is happy to spy on another country's citizens, from within their own country, but he draws the line at it being done back home. Hypocrisy.

Really? I would consider unchallenged, systemic slavery to be a fairly important problem. Not something to be dismissed as less concerning than another critical issue. I am just surprised by the complete lack of news.

How many people do we think would choose not to buy a smartphone made in China this year, if they knew the supply chain used slavery. Sadly, I don't think people care - as long as they get the latest iPhone... (maybe why I am being downvoted?)

Mixed feelings about this. What happened to the reports that Apple suppliers were essentially using slave labour to build their products in China? I didn't see any response at all from them - do they care?

Looks amazing, I really need to dive into machine learning more this year... Waiting impatiently for UK release to give it a try!
