Ok so if they changed their plans to "Core" and said "Includes vanilla WordPress" is Ma.tt going to have an issue with it? This really doesn't seem to be much about Trademarks, but more like what every other open so

Lawyers don’t advise you on what is right or what is wrong. That’s what priests do. Lawyers advise you on what is legal and what isn’t, and what opens you up to liability. He seems quite confused.

Exactly. This comes off as a totally unhinged and immature rant, unbecoming of the CEO of a company that likely has a 8 or 9 figure revenue. I didn’t know (or really care) about this battle, but I’ve always passively seen Matt as one of the

Whoa that is insane if he faces no repercussions. And I am an alumnus of UMD. If they really find him guilty and still do nothing, that’s going to be a stain on their reputation.

I’ve had my battery replaced and sent family members to have theirs replaced, all at the Apple Store. All have had smooth experiences. Without AppleCare it’s something like $59 or thereabouts. Apple’s made it very easy to go to an Apple Sto

In just about any other situation in life, you will have to make some investment in tools with the understanding that you can use them multiple times. For example, I bought the iFixit repair kit nearly a decade ago and I have used it for an

Jobs explained it when he first debuted it. It's called that because the pixels are small/dense enough that you can basically not distinguish pixels anymore. So on phones it has usually been about 300dpi. On laptops and desktops i

Yeah compared to Chrome. I do like and respect Firefox but it’s hard to take them too seriously as a separate competitor if all their revenue comes from Google. But what choice do they have?

Simply not true. I once spoke to an old coworker (who's now a senior executive at a Fortune 500 company, not Apple). And he said in these large companies, there is so much discussion around risk, because the larger the company, the mor

I disagree. I like all the privacy protections that Safari gives me as a user. And the safari team seems thoughtful (like the other browser teams) in how they consider features to implement. In fact, I'd like MORE competition in the sp

Yeah but I think range anxiety is a great name because a lot of anxiety can't just be "explained" away. I've tried for years with certain friends. People don't like the _idea_ that they could one day be stranded wit

This is exactly what I'm asking about. Was that actually true? Where was the proof? I remember reading that he was some evil guy, but clearly he's still there and nobody seemed to care once Biden got into office. So was the fear m

I don't know how much detail they have but yes, insurers in the US do know if you've received a ticket for a moving violation (parking violations are irrelevant). Many of them use solutions like LexisNexis Risk Solutions (which is

Which schmucks? The Americans that got arrested? Yes, they would've had to somehow funnel those earnings (minus a cut) to the North Koreans, so they were absolutely complicit. If you're talking about the North Koreans doing this,

No, I was explicitly saying that the most frequent travelers likely do (either that, or are likely business travelers where those costs are borne out by the employers). Would that not be true?

In the cases where outages caused human deaths you’re 100% right that there should be worse consequences. But in many cases, hopefully it’s also a lesson to the places where people were harmed, to never let one piece of software get in the
