I've seen business software, where money can be lost, just handwave and silently dropping conflicts (because "it doesn't really happen that often!")

Does Nintendo take a 50% cut if you publish on their eShop?

> I think you are doing it wrong.

I'm going to swallow my pride with stoic calm on this one in case you are correct. Thanks!

If we want to discuss terminology, I agree I should have said "handling conflicts" instead of just "conflicts".

What you are describing is just the beginning of conflict handling. The consequences for bad handling are dire: data loss. If conflict handling and resolving was easy (hint: it's not), the article would have mentioned it.

I'm all in favour of a better word. What's a good one of for pouring the granules into the sieve and leveling it off?

"Packing" definition doesn't require stomping although it's often applied, both with coffee and suitcases.

For me it's also the process that makes it so rewarding. The grinding, packing, listening to it bubbling on the hob, the smell, the gurgle at the end and finally the pour. Then you also get a nice cup of coffee! It's an amazing "gadget".

If you enjoy coffee and haven't tried one, you're missing out.

It conveniently doesn't mention the hardest part: conflicts.

If you just drop a conflicting edit then it's a stretch to call your app "offline". Yes, it "works" but who wants to use an application to at drops you edits?

It's cheap and sleazy to steal a name from another project to ride it's fame.

> it probably saved a few cents in material costs

Perhaps a few cents for whole batch production. A lot of it is planned obsolescence. I've had countless things break on hinges or other tiny moving parts, because they were made from 3mm plastic instead of 5mm plastic. Every time it's moved it's under way more stress than it should. Therefore it'll break after around 3 years.

I still don't see how this is a crime though, I mean sure, he has a sense of inspiration and borrows sentences and phrases from somewhere. But, that doesn't mean the entire plots of his books, or the primary reason they sell is because of him stealing a few sentences from others.

Was going to ask that. I had the tab open but couldn't find it on HN anymore.

I think it was at least in 5th place on the front page when it suddenly disappeared.

Wasn't there a tool to monitor HN article rankings?

Ah yes, thanks!

Isn't there still an open bounty on reconstructing shredded Nazi documents? Perhaps useful on that too.

How is it affecting Google's profits?

> do stupid things

Yes, we've all done stupid things we regret. But this is not it. This is way to bad to fit in the "stupid things" category.

The existing mass. Currently there have 4.9 billion Bluetooth devices shipped. It might be shit, but it's the shit we have and know.

Didn't Bill Gates "kill the command line" in a infamous video when Windows 95 came out?
