From the article, there is overlap in their markets. To add even more color to the kerfuffle, Lemonade filed a motion yesterday with the European intellectual property office to loosen Deutsche’s legal vice-grip on the color, and has petitioned to remove DT’s color-rights on magenta in the insurance sector. The problem is, T-Mobile actually does offer insurance on services like cybersecurity and tech-gadget protection policies, which could add a touch of gray to the magenta dispute.

  I know HN is super minimalistic but I’d love a way to indent quotes considering how often we do it here

    I'm not against that but what is wrong with using a carrot? It works well.

      It doesn’t indent

        Why is this a problem? Visually, it's very clear what is and is not a quote.

        So that it’s more clear? and supports multiple paragraphs Do you indent your code? Or are the curly braces enough?

        ...clearly we're not going to agree on this. Yes, I indent code, but—while I've never thought about this before—I actually think using carrots could work equally well! I'd add one carrot per ident level to the start of every line. Back to quotes, for multiple paragraphs, I just add a ">" to the start of each paragraph.

        I totally agree with you, but FYI they're called "carets". Much as I like the idea of carrots in comments :-)
