Still waiting for HTC to make a G3 :-(

Looks like it works

I think that was the upside down map

Just got my fold, voyager seems to have a weird scrolling lag. Doesn't seem to happen anywhere else tho

Whoa that rendered on my phone in 3 phases

Couldn't I just record my mouse movements clicking on it a couple dozen times and randomly replay one of those recordings?

Sounds like something they should talk about in some kind of summit about security

I'm not defending any companies, just thinking out loud, but I supposed I can see if that's how it reads.

I was just asking myself why it feels wrong when a machine does it vs when a human does it. By your argument, would it be ok if some poor nobody invented and is using this technology vs a billion dollar company? Is that why it feels wrong?

I'm more trying to figure out why it's generally acceptable when a human does it vs when a machine does it.

I don't know for sure, but I think they would be able to adjust settings so that it looks nothing like any original work, but still have the same style, as I've seen people do.

Ok, dumb question time. I'm assuming no one has any significant issues, legal or otherwise, with a person studying all Van Gogh paintings, learning how to reproduce them, and using that knowledge to create new, derivative works and even selling them.

But when this is done with software, it seems wrong. I can't quite articulate why though. Is it because it takes much less effort? Anyone can press a button and do something that would presumably take the person from the example above years or decades to do? What if the person was somehow super talented and could do it in a week or a day?

That's pretty close to what I do. Imagine your manager asking a question that you answer in your supporting details question, so you have to repeat your answer. Then he asks another question that is also answered in that section. I used to reply underlining where I answer it specifically, but have given up as it made no difference.

My manager only ever reads the first 2 lines of an email. Very annoying when there's a complex issue that needs more than 2 sentences to explain and he wants to know all the details. I swear he must've read it on a list of "x number of things that highly successful people do" and now he lives by it.
