Comment Re: So unfair (Score 1) 125

If Apple has "only copied", how come their stuff is doing so well that 2 out of 3 Smartphones in the U.S. are iPhones?

Marketing

If they were just Copying, then someone else should have already had a phone ecosystem that was far more successful. But apparently, they don't.

Both things cannot be true.

Why not?

Personally, I wouldn't say that they've ONLY copied, but certainly they have predominantly copied, albeit well.

In America I don't even get why you would use any bags. As in Australia, 99% of people drive to the shops. I just have a couple of foldable crates I keep in the boot (trunk). Take the trolley to the self-checkout, grab the gun (not THAT gun) and scan everything in the trolley. Take the trolley to the car and pack the groceries into the crates. Too easy. I did that before they phased out single-use plastics, because it's just easier.

In countries where driving everywhere isn't the expected thing, I could understand somewhat.

Comment The US is insane... (Score 1) 164

The US is insane and the rest of the world just watches us and laughs. I've been living and working outside the US for years now and it floors me that every time I've spoke to a recruiter about opportunities state-side they're almost always apologetic when explaining that the job is not remote eligible. As if I'm entitled to such a thing.

Nearly 50%? Good. Pre-covid people that wanted to stay at home rather than go to the office were either unemployed (congratulations) or self-employed (here's their opportunity!). But it wasn't really news.

What a weirdly entitled country we are.
