The reason I ask is this(copied from my same question on reddit): I see but does the fact that the judge told them to assume so indicate something about what he thinks about it? I'm not a lawyer and I wonder how it goes in these cases: when

Coincidentally I accessed this in class earlier today without seeing HN first and thought how amazing it was. I didn't know that it'd gotten a whole new look so recently. Amazing. Congrats to all at Git-SCM, nice job.

If some alien civilization landed on Earth, I'd like them to land in Dubai. It's as if they're building a future land, the landscape, the sand, the buildings. Amazing.
