What a shame. A lot of guys will have worked hard on this, perhaps going on a journey from initial enthusiasm at the novel gimmick to anxiety over real-world usability.
Sadly they’re going to lose all their money or, even worse, find a way to pay back the VC.
6·1 year agoThis will be a tough one to fix. There must be millions upon millions of embedded systems out there with 16-bit epoch burned in.
They’ll all be much tougher to find than “YEAR PIC(99)” in COBOL was.
Y2K wasn’t a problem because thousands upon thousands of programmers worked on it well in advance (including myself) we had source code and plenty of static analysis tools, often homegrown.
The 2038 bugs are already out there…in the wild…their source code nothing but a distant dream.
So you could hava “Delta decent airlines” and “Delta fucking shit piss-stained seats threadbare aircraft $15 50ml Coke cans” then?
Totally different market sectors.
If it’s all in writing you can’t just force another company to do what you want. What you can do is wriggle, twist and delay until it becomes too expensive for the smaller company to continue to pursue.
However judges are more than well aware of this technique and will allow the plaintiff to accrue costs against Legal Aid (paid for by government).
So what usually happens:
- Small co files against large co for using same name
- Large co produces huge response document which is all piss and wind
- Small co says they can’t afford the costs to answer each point
- Judge permits Small Co to use Legal Aid.
- Large co offers to settle. (E.g. you’re a 3 person sandwich shop. They offer you £10m. No more work, no more hassle)
If Small Co is energetic, young and courageous, they may choose to fight to the death. But Legal Aid has a limit…
Thank you, I’ve saved that for a quiet moment.
Yeah man, that scratches the itch!
Yeah I also wondered if “nuclear gravity” was some fascinating new branch of physics.
Got real disappointed when I realised that it meant dropping 'em.
Who pays them?
Wouldn’t the ID need to be associated with a verifiable green card? (Again, not an expert in US employment)
Does no-one check the damn IDs, ffs? It’s a simple matter of typing some numbers into a computer.
I don’t know about the U.S. but in the UK where I’m from, “illegally hiring a non-UK citizen” would be a criminal offence for the hiring company. How are they going to tax them?
Brit here, Leeds centre. ISP is “City Fibre”. Fibre-to-property. 512Mbps. £27/month.
He’s going down for a long time, and personally I think he’s an over-confident, misguided fool.
But I don’t think he’s a crook, in the sense that he originally set out to be dishonest from day one.
I think his well-intentioned, cocky plans turned to shit when he found himself playing a game of cryptopoly with other people’s real money and landed on the "Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass ‘Go’. Do not collect £200“ square.
I feel ever so slightly sorry for him. His entire life is now fucked.
UK here. Can they do the maths for us too please?. Just a few billion would let us employ a few thousand more doctors… That’d be awesome…Thx.
No worries, panic over! Unless someone else knows something else…
I just sent you one.
Ditto. Happy Malwarebytes customer here. Would be very interested to hear the issue.
Mate, I’m 189cm (6’2.4) and manage perfectly well in a 737 bathroom whichever function I need to perform, so I’m not sure what the issue is. Your girth maybe?
Thank you. Your comment/advice has completely validated my switch over to Lemmy.
They’ve been playing the long game here…encroaching on your Drive storage for years
I’m wagering “Location Data” will be along soon. Then “number of passwords stored”.
Next move will be “number of connected devices”, even though that doesn’t impact how much they have to store.
Finally they will get round to billing you on your number of individual body hairs (shaving in breach of T&Cs).
