The new Reddit desktop site has a good solution for that - each comment draws a bar down the side of its children, which you can click on to collapse the paarent. You collapse any level of parent comment without havign to scroll back up.
I believe that copyright only refers to creative works. Technology would be covered by patents. See also trademarks as the third kind of intellectual property.
Yes, perhaps these will be reclassified as satellites and moons will have to be large enough to form spheres under their own gravity. That would mean that Mars would have no moons though.
> It would of course be harder to count using your fingers.
No necessarily. 4 fingers * 3 knuckles per finger make 12, so you can count in base-12 using only 1 hand. I think the Sumerians (?) used that * 5 fingers on the other hand to count in base-60, resulting in our base-60 time system.
Maybe they should have just let people upload audio files with a title card, rather than fragment the service into another app. Would have fixed the bandwidth/battery problem and kept the interface, network, etc.
Agreed. I'm amazed the comment got such a negative reaction. I can't think of anyone I know who would be happy about being called a chick, however casually.
Maybe because then you could pick on small patents that a competitor isn't really using to hit them for 6k/60k a pop? Of course, that would only work if they have several dodgy patents, so you argue they should just be more careful.
Disclaimer: I'm just speculating and know nothing about patent law.
> A story about Syria might be filed under "America's foreign engagements" and a story about decaying highways could be filed under "Tracking America's infrastructure quality and infrastructure projects".
I'd like to point out that this is meant to be a global news source so the fact that America is involved would hardly be the most significant aspect of a story about Syria.
The Learn More section has a very nice description of the concepts. The compression page [0] seems to say that they group each attribute for a fragment together and then apply compression.
