Readit NewsThere's this other thing:
Can apple/samsung/google claim a copyright to the case designs based on the design of its hardware? It really wouldn't be a stretch for Apple to say the specific layout of its macbook or whatever is a type of copyrightable design. Right? I mean, it reflects specific hardware layout design.
Highly unlikely, Zach specifically mentioned how their scans are an artistic representation, since the scans undergo heavy editing to highlight certain parts and make the hardware "pop".

Debt does not stop you from leaving, if you have a second passport.
US is one of the only countries in the world where you still have to pay US taxes no matter where you live or work and what passports you have, as long as you are a US citizen, and you can't give up US citizenship, which is also a paid process, unless you've paid all taxes.

You poor soul. Moved to such a terrible nation full of those awful people you described and now you seem to be completely powerless to leave. And I'm 100% sure this is everyone elses fault.
At what point do you look inward for someone to blame for your circumstances?
I was forced to move here when my parent got married. Never wanted to come here, didn't have a choice, tried to like it and I don't think that's humanly possible. Don't be a dick.

And yet, you live here.
Annals of revealed preferences.
Oh no, don't get me wrong, I've been dying to leave, nothing I would like more. But I am sure you've heard of the term economic slavery, and that's what I have become. Don't make enough to make the ends meet, and don't make enough to leave. Have to pay the debts before I can give up the passport.

Sometimes the US perspective of things is completely surreal for me as a European. In a country where you can buy assault rifles with minimal background checks, people worry about addresses being available because someone might be able to look up the address to kill them with a drone and a home made bomb.
As a European who has been living in the US for a decade, yeah, you're pretty spot on. Americans are a scared people, probably the most scared I've ever seen. Afraid of the gov't, the neighbors, and random people they don't even know. I've gotten a ton of hate as a foreigner and I am not surprised a hateful, greedy and selfish population like here is afraid somebody will take them out with an improvised device.

Oh boo fucking hoo. Just a few months ago turned down a university teaching gig at the department of computer science for 45k a year (you need a PhD to even be considered). It's not surprising, and there should be a shortage of teachers and professors given what universities/schools want to pay for these jobs to highly educated people.

I wonder how that $2350 was calculated.
Uncanny, but it does add up to a year of minimum wage (7.25) work minus the weekends and the holidays.
I simply don't believe the model is that good. Otherwise, maybe try to compete with OpenAI directley?
