We're not talking about consumer safety reasons here, and I was talking about a default posture not an absolute rule. The reason a judge has to approve pausing the ban is to work out whether it should happen in that particular case.

Masimo has a market capitalization of a bit over $6 billion, so Apple presumably has a very long way to go before acquiring them is cheaper than continuing the lawsuit. Apple could certainly do a hostile takeover out of their cash-on-hand i

Pausing the ban during appeals seems generally reasonable. After all, the point of there being an appeal is that the case isn't actually settled yet, so leaving the status quo in place until it is seems less-harmful overall. Possibly

You're right, it's not actually the direct lost-sales that they're calling irreparable harm. Reading further into the legal filing, it seems that they're arguing that having to take the Watch off the market will cause da

I'd think they were being disingenuous if it was a PR statement, but this is just people quoting the legal filing by Apple's lawyers. My understanding is that "irreparable harm" is the core component of the legal require

If Apple's in trouble for infringing on Masimo's patent, why would Masimo's watch have any better accuracy? The whole issue is that they're doing it the same way...

It's literally true, in the sense that they'll suffer harm and it won't be fixed if the appeal goes in their favor. They'll lose sales, and those sales won't just back-up and all get made the instant the product is

The parent wasn't just talking about the top-level of their clothes, though, but about overall presentation. There's generally a lot more cultural signifiers embedded that you can cue off of than just "pants or skirt?" a

October 7th did pretty notably feature a massacre of young people at a music festival, and some widespread killing of civilians at multiple different villages. Are you employing some non-standard definition of "target" or of &quot

The suggestion I've seen is to legislate changing the presumption such that if body camera footage is missing then it should be presumed to be foul play unless the police department can show evidence otherwise.

You'd think so, but the average jury is extremely deferential to police. In part because a lot of places include some questions about how you feel about the police in the standard jury screening interview, and expressing any negative

In a similar vein, WoW has become a lot more dynamic and stateful over the years, and the somewhat-hacky solution used to track what the current character has actually done is invisible quests. It's the exact same system behind the sce

Most notably, in 5.4.0 (in 2012!) they removed register_globals and magic_quotes. (Which had both been deprecated and off-by-default for a while before, I believe.) The former was notoriously insecure, as what it did was promote anything

That just says "there's less activity", and doesn't address bawolff's question of quality in any way.

Ignoring them would result in breaking them with any hand edits, I think. This spec seems to create chunks of markdown documents that (almost) cannot be edited by hand -- any change you make that affects the offsets in the `Annotations` r

In fact, the PS1's 2d games tend to stand up much better to modern sensibilities than its 3d games. You can still play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night now and it looks pretty fantastic, whereas something like Tomb Raider has some

You don't have to use Steam keys to sell a game on Steam. Steam only issues those keys if you request them -- you only need them if you're selling your game somewhere other than Steam (or doing something like fulfilling Kickstarte

I think the argument is that Steam is sufficiently dominant in the PC-games marketplace that small publishers like this feel that they absolutely have to list their games there, and so have no option other than to accept Valve's term

Regarding taking your Kindle books with you... the standard recommendation is to use the DeDRM plugin[1] for Calibre to convert your DRM'd books into plain old ePUBs. My understanding (I'm not a lawyer) is that this is perfectly l

I'll grant that it's a bit of a pedantic response, though I do genuinely think that it's better not to misuse terms. It also affects what you appear to be calling for as a response -- just because Apple-and-Google are the two

I don't really like slicing the market up that way. There's a compelling argument against broad-category monopolies, but the more specific it gets the closer it is to just "you have made a successful product". Apple natu

Words have meanings. It's a monopoly if a single entity has complete (or almost-complete) control of a market. "Apple/Google" isn't a single entity, neither has anything close to complete control of the US mobile-de
