You know Samsung lost a billion dollar lawsuit because they stole the entire iPhone UI right?
92.
by mrgordon 5y ago
Yes but Samsung copied the iPhone so closely that they lost a 7 year $1 billion lawsuit and ended up settling out of court after appealing to the Supreme Court They almost exactly copied the major UI features in violation of the patents so

This doesn’t change the fact that Samsung always immediately clones whatever Apple does

I strongly disagree. The maps add tons of variety and the objectives force you to have team battles instead of just one vs one landing to last hit minions all game. Shared XP is another part of making it less about winning your one lane The

Think of it this way, they could have bought something for $10,000 at the beginning but now that $10,000 item would cost $15,700 and they only have about $13,810 or less depending on state tax. (That assumes a 23.8% tax rate on the $5000 in

“The state has since given up on connecting LA & SF by high speed rail” We are going to need a citation here because I’m pretty sure this isn’t true

Sure but the person I was replying to was talking specifically about Silicon Valley versus SF. There are many cities out there that will attract people certainly. I don’t live in the Bay Area anymore so I can relate.

Maybe you should check what some of their houses are worth lol

by mrgordon 6y ago
Because the younger talent they’re trying to attract prefers a lively city to the suburban sprawl with good schools

This doesn’t solve the problem at all. Many of the NFT sites are hosting their own IPFS and many of the images have already gone missing from the IPFS because no one is hosting that file still. https://twitter.com/checkmynft

If you Google you will find that a lot of NFT art has already gone missing

by mrgordon 6y ago
Well when artists are pretending to sell art for $69 million to their business partners to create hype for NFTs and lure in clueless people who will lose their money on a pump and dump virtual asset then people start to feel like it’s a sca

> Diamonds are a great example. They are in fact scarce, which drives value, and the reason artificial diamonds don't retain value is because they are less scarce. Now work backwards. Yep exactly. Quod erat demonstrandum

Sure but one bank went under in 2008 versus how many crypto exchanges that stole or “lost” deposits since then? The scale of issues is not even the same order of magnitude, likely at least 100 to 1 given how many banks there are and how man

Nobody said it’s what the people wanted all along. I miss the days where my songs don’t just disappear from Spotify because they renegotiated a contract. But there’s no risk of being sued and it’s cheap enough so it’s easy to subscribe even

The WSJ has a ton of dubious articles. The Opinion pieces are garbage compared to the average one in the Times although of course both have misses

by mrgordon 6y ago
The WSJ has much worse editors than the NYTimes. They really allow a lot of bias.

I guess they see it as a small price to choke out the competition through acquisitions

Well plugging an iPhone 11 into the wall with the included cable would be 5W and the phone itself only supports up to 18W. So yeah plugging it into the wall will be super slow too. So yes some people will buy a USB C to lightning cable for

by mrgordon 6y ago
It has nothing to do with syncing. Many people charge their phone off their laptop using the cable.

by mrgordon 6y ago
The lightning is the iPhone end, that hasn’t changed to USB C. The USB A that goes to either the wall block or your computer to charge only became USB C three months ago. People constantly plug their phones into their MacBooks or other comp

by mrgordon 6y ago
Do you really believe most people don’t use USB-A devices anymore? Even the iPhone 11 is USB-A and that was the newest until like three months ago lol

Wanted to read the article but got redirected to a scammy pop up ad on iOS saying I have a virus etc Anyone else? Sad a major domain would appear to be running this malware

Haha guess it wasn’t such a good example then, I had no idea. But I do think Slack or Discord works as well as native Mac apps from the user perspective. I can’t really tell the difference between Atom and say the old Sublime Text or Textma

Many cars like 4WD require all tires to be replaced at the same time to avoid weird issues like this with the automated systems

There is this meme that Electron is so bad but as an end user I have much better experiences with Electron apps like Slack and Discord then I do with Microsoft Teams or other competitor apps that don’t use Electron. Is Microsoft Teams suppo

As a tech worker who lives in Miami and works remotely, Miami’s tech scene is a joke. I live right near Mana and the other posters are right to say he’s just patting himself on the back here
