Would we be discussing it here on HN if Google were not named in the suit? Would anyone other than the local newspaper have written about it? Probably not. But there are currently over 1200 articles on this, including national and internati

Maps and Photos let you enter your credit card info to buy stuff in the app (you can order food in Maps and prints in Photos). This is not unusual. Every app that offers food delivery or prints lists "financial info" on their App

I dunno. The value of the type of art that is a "corner stone of modern culture" (i.e. the type of art you see in museums, etc.) doesn't seem to be related to how hard it is to produce. For example, Flag by Jasper Johns sol

The current (yellow cube) logo is genius though! It's like they took the Terraform logo, which to me looks like a cube that has fallen apart, and put it back together into a cute little cube of tofu.

I'd say the analogy goes the other way around. Showering with cold water is obviously safer (no chance of accidentally scalding yourself). But most people prefer showering with hot water because it's the way they've always do

Uh... because that's literally what the First Amendment says? Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the ri

That's not how the Supreme Court has ruled in the past. If a law makes people reluctant to exercise their first amendment rights because of the ways in which it can be used against them in the future - then it has a "chilling effe

Is there a video (or even just audio) demo? I'd be very reluctant to install (and pay for) this without hearing what it sounds like first. EDIT: Oh! I see you can click on the little play buttons in the hero image to hear a preview. Th

I know a few engineers who are quite proud of their software patents. And many more who seem ambivalent, but are happy to file them if they get a bonus out of it. So, I don't think it's as clear-cut as you think it is.

For me, it was typically: 1. Log in to TurboTax and click through a few welcome screens (1 min) 2. Enter employer and AGI - TurboTax pulls in the rest of the W2 (1 min) 3. Enter bank credentials - TurboTax pulls in interest income (1 min) 4

That's irrelevant to this discussion. a) If they screw up payroll and the numbers reported to the government are wrong, you'd have to correct that even if the government sent you a pre-populated form (and if they screw up payroll

It's a similar level of difficulty in the U.S unless you have a really complicated tax situation. All the major tax apps integrate with the payroll companies, banks, and brokerages, so it's just a few clicks to authorize it to imp

The reason it's different is that domains are so cheap and the price increases are so small. Why would a major company (or even a tiny company) change their domain over an increase of a dollar or two per year? It doesn't make sens
