#2 is more complicated than you think. It would be seen as a constructive dismissal, basically equivalent to a termination. Only a lawyer can properly advise if this is a good idea. I'm going to type the words a few more times for emphasis:

Why isn't apple making it more clear that it's supposed to be one account per person? A lot of us technical users are already aware of that, but its clearly a detail a lot of people miss. Couldn't apple put a slip in the box that says "mak

This story is missing the best part, which is where the compliance officer bluescreens after being asked about whether the sex tape would be owned by Sony.

Why is this cuda and not OpenCL? There's no reason to legitimize nvidia's proprietary nonsense, it just enables their bad behavior.

Most members of this community see the absurdity of making a certain string of bits illegal, whether its the private key to decrypt blu-ray discs or describes the shape of a firearm. What's odd is that they don't see the parallel absurdity

Maybe it should be HackerNew Accept Bitcoin since we're dropping the s from every word. Bitcoin needs to be plural and accept needs to be in the present tense. This makes no sense.

There's no possibly way they screwed it up. Both companies are large enough to have competent production forecasting and supply chain management teams that this must be fully intentional. They decided exactly how many of the phones to make.
