...good for them?
We used to call that competition.
Imagine making this argument with a straight face in any other industry:
"The claim is that Japanese car companies are buying Ford vehicles, and then leasing them to American consumers at cut-rate prices. In return for the cheap cars, the customers are letting the Japanese observe their driving behavior, studying how they use their F-150 and then the Japanese car companies are applying that data to design new vehicles that will directly replace Ford!"
- eigenspace 2mo agoI wasn't arguing against the practice, I was clarifying that the weights of these models are not being stolen, and explaining what these companies do to create their models.
- petilon 2mo ago> observe their driving behavior That's not what they are observing, it is the behavior of the engines.
- ForHackernews 2mo ago:sigh: fine, s/observing the way the Ford cars work
