If anything reverse engineering is more permissible in the USA than many other places, IIRC

Peace and harmony ?

I don’t think heterosexuals are persecuted anywhere, that’s not a valid equivalence. Not that I find the idea of making porn to prove your sexual orientation morally fine.

If you know their name, they are probably a celebrity. That’s kind of the definition

Isn’t the joke that the smart engineer will change the labels on the knob since they don’t have any unit? That’s the scammy aspect. I don’t think OC finds the idea of selling a better amp immoral

GDPR applies regardless of where headquarters are located

Oh we got a bunch of leeches in Europe, Ireland is not the only one

It is easily provable that there is an infinite number of prime numbers.

Except Michael in German is not pronounced with a “k” sound

Actually facing jail time for killing someone with a car in France is unusual, that’s probably why

Si cet argent partait en investissements on pourrait justifier de privatiser quelque chose comme la FDJ, qui n’est pas vraiment un domaine crucial à mon sens (mais on peut débattre de l’intérêt de privatiser le peu de services bénéficiaires de l’État). Mais si c’est pour financer les retraites des boomers pour les garder dans la poche aux prochaines élections, merci Macron.

Impressive how people misunderstand this stuff. You don’t open a research lab for technology transfer, kinda the opposite. This is Apple saying they don’t see the USA as the best place to do research. The tech is already transferred

What’s yours? This whole “pirates are also buyers” is just a cop-out, but sure your anecdotic experience is valid proof against the more logical alternative

This article just reminded me to cancel my DB ticket, so they didn’t get everything wrong I guess

White people moving across the world, imposing their language and culture, is a “cultural mixing pot” ? Did you play a uno reverse card lol

Can’t you read or do you just want to be right?

Right, because D-Day and Vietnam showed clearly that USA politicians never act against what the popular opinion dictates

That’s… Exactly why they would be anti union?
