Well, I wasn't sure how to respond to yours missing the entire conceit of the post before it, so I guess we're even.

>Smartphones are not even that similar to laptops. I believe that was the entire point of the comparison. Smartphones replaces SOME use cases of laptops in the same way ubiquitous smart glasses could replaces SOME use cases of smartphone

I'm usually a big proponent of longer-term corporate thinking, but deciding your name around problems you might have five decades after becoming a household name is a little much.

I haven't had any problems in at least 7+ years, but I work in coffee and I can remember at least two instances where an Apple update made half the staff late by turning off their alarms, myself included.

Are there any actual recent examples of this? The major examples I've always heard are solidly in the 20th century. It's not like Google has had any problem holding their trademark.

Sure, but when was the last time anyone claimed a major franchise was ripping off God-Emperor?

A key difference is that we did know how to read non-burnt scrolls before that.

Interestingly, went to do a search for "Zima Blue", and because the sidebar decided I wanted information about the tv episode, it gave me a Spanish Wikipedia link ( https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zima_Blue ). Th

Yeah, it's hard to call their model particularly predatory, when a lot of the industry is going with battle-pass models that rely on FOMO to keep the revenue constant. At least with Paradox you can still buy-in on a sale years after re

The difference isn't typically that vast. At usual dilution levels, drinking a 16oz cold brew would be slight caffeine gain on the double-shot. Heat does extract caffeine better that cold, which is why the shot is prepared in ≈25 secon

I wouldn't call that entirely coincidental. Di Modica picked a bull because it was a well understood metaphor for market optimism. The bull-run analogy, while not being central to the financial bull concept, has been applied to it plen

That all makes sense for physical products, it's just less clear what the local bookstore is actually adding to the process for a digital e-book transaction.

Maybe it's just because it was high school and not elementary school, but I remember basically everyone who was into games even a bit having a DS, but nobody used them as a daily carry portable. It was something you'd just notice

If I can safely discount all human behavior through history, then I can also assume that the behavioral changes you are espousing are equally non-relevant. Either human behavior can be a greater driver than genetic probability or it can&#x2

You're making very strong claims based around broad trends in genetics for a process that isn't entirely genetic. The society that is choosing what to eat and how to prepare it is doing so based on their own set of axioms, not pur

The problem is that it seems to be necessary to prompt every transaction for a tip to collect any credit tips at all, or at least all the major POS are set-up that way. Which doesn't seem like it should be a big problem in an already n

That 5+ year grocery store stocker is the lynchpin that allows them to quickly hire teenagers who are only going to work there for a year at most before moving on. Without the institutional knowledge of the long-term workers, the store woul

I have large hands. Left control is the natural resting place of my pinky, while reaching A from an ESDF rest requires I adjust my whole hand to scrunch my fingers closer.

You can do all that, but if you have a noticeable gap in parity on features that users actually care you'll just be the secondary utility browser. Like Internet Explorer traditionally was.

The 360 didn't pick HD-DVD as it's format, the built-in drive was just regular DVD. The HD-DVD drive was an external add-on that they sold along with the 360 Media Remote.

There's not any correlation between fitting the standard HN mold and liking The Onion. I'm a barista who just checks in here for the marginal stuff outside the tech professional centered stuff, and I'm a big fan of The Onion.

To shed some light on why Americans kept checks for so long: I'm 33 and have never done a bank transfer. I can't even say what the flaws in our system are, because I grew up in a family where it was never considered as an option:
