We won’t know until the tell all book is written in ten years.

Only if Chiquita actually failed miserably.
The same county that just tried to have a coup?
Hey NSA/CIA/FBI you guys might want to check that one out…
The problem is we aren’t in a thread talking about Apple stealing code. We’re in a thread about China doing it. And people in here are like, “that’s illegal! It’s not actually open source!”
Which is why I’m driving this point so hard.
In countries following that legal regime.
No, I’m pointing out that China doesn’t care about your dictionary.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
At this point if I’m ever responsible for making a tv show it will have obvious places for commercials to go just because I don’t want them butchering it.
Especially in shows not edited for commercials. They just throw them in the middle somewhere so the show gets cut mid-sentence. It’s ridiculous. If you want to show me ads after that episode, then fine. But killing the entire pacing of the show for your ads in a service people are paying for already? that’s just infuriating.
China has never been consistent. Doing business there is all about relations with the CCP. This is a perfect example of how an authoritarian regime differs from a liberal regime. One is bound by it’s promises and rules and the other binds it’s rules to it’s needs.
If you want to use piracy language then this is privateering. It would be piracy except for the fact that they’ve got the backing and protection of a major country.
Oh I get the theoretical difference. I’m talking about functional difference. Good luck taking China to patent court.
Obviously it functionally very much is. If you wanted to keep it closed source you’d host it on your own servers or even keep it offline.
China is a sovereign entity. I’m pretty sure they can decide foreign licensing laws don’t apply there.
In real talk, if you zoom in on the picture far enough you can see there’s roads running under the runways here. They probably don’t have to contact the tower to leave the airport. Security would be a thing though.
Sure, for the electrical part. But the door as a whole should Fail Open. You can pull over with an open door. You should not have to break the door to escape after a failure.
Clearly it’s a safety issue. You should not have to break it to use it.
I have a Toyota where the electronic part of one door has completely failed. It still opens. You shouldn’t have to break out of your own car.
It does where they’re concerned.
