npub1eeetax7xxyr7mem486lqayj4av7czytttp9swjwn6yry6sn790lqrve209 (npub1eee…e209) I am surprised your take on the Masimo import ban ended on a note insinuating that the issue here is that “the Left” has an issue with Big Tech.
Everything we know from internal Apple communication about Project Everest and indeed many of their partnerships suggests a strong pattern of meeting with smaller companies, proposing working together and then effectively gutting them on the assumption they’re too small to stop Apple. https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-watch-patents-5b52cda0
“After one executive floated the idea of acquiring Masimo outright, the decision was shot down. “Acquisitions of this size aren’t our style,” Adrian Perica, Apple’s vice president of corporate development, said in court. Instead, Apple opted to take the “smart recruiting” approach.” https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2023-10-05/column-joe-kiani-masimo-apple-watch-pulse-oximeter-lawsuit
Apple knowingly and intentionally stole this technology by poaching key employees, attempted to solidify their hold by having that employee file patents for that technology, then released that technology only for it to be decried by experts as “inaccurate” and worse than the technology they attempted to copy.
Not only is the import ban justified (and Biden would be a fool for stepping in) but you would be scolding Google or Microsoft for similar tactics. This is a story of a large company whose inability to produce the technology required to sell their product led them to abusing their size and legal budget to steal whatever they wanted.
