John Donigian, the senior director of #SupplyChain strategy at Moody’s, said the #tariffs could lead to higher #costs, potential #delays & pressure for #businesses to shift production closer to North America or into the #UnitedStates.

All industries would face unique challenges, he said. For #electronics, moving #production could be #slow & #costly. For #retail & #consumer #goods that try to keep costs low, inventories could fall & consumer #prices rise.

[so less stuff that’s more expensive]

So over the last few days I've been taking a cross-country trip by #train, and while #Amtrak is a national treasure, travel has been marred by frequent #delays, as we've had to pull over numerous times to let #freight trains pass or been stuck behind a slow-moving freight in front of us.

I've been trying to figure out why today's train has been constantly on time and occasionally a little early, and it just now occurred to me: today is Sunday. Freight trains usually don't run on Sundays.

Set aside high-speed rail for a moment; if Amtrak had dedicated rails it could be this reliable all the time. And by rights it should be.

@senbillnelson 's outsized influence on #NASA over four decades is undisputed, but some of us in the #SpaceCommunity are concerned this may not be a feature 👎. Senator #Nelson’s imprint on the #SpaceProgram has led to grand pronouncements based on #unrealistic industry estimates, multibillion-dollar 💰 #cost overruns, years of schedule #delays and unmet expectations 😠 scientificamerican.com/article

FFS! First they said late 2022, then early 2023, then April, now it’s July?!

I don’t want a big, fat, heavy MacBook Pro. I hate the new aesthetic. I just want a faster version of my 5 year old MacBook Pro. It’s sleek, pretty, I love that the escape key turns into a “exit full screen” when an app is full-screened.

I don’t use Vim. I don’t want a hardware key.

Actually, can you just fit a 16-core cpu and a 2TB SSD in my old laptop, please? That would be perfect.

Lacking that, please release the thinner MacBook Air in 15”
