• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How China Went From Clean Energy Copycat to Global Innovator | A surge in high quality research and patent applications has cemented China’s dominance in the industry.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if you copy everyone’s IP you don’t have research and development costs so you can leapfrog everyone. It’s a big reason why everyone dislikes china’s copying of everything.

  Also it’s a little disingenuous to copy and steal everything not nailed down and then copyright stuff that you make.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s not wrong since games pricing hasn’t kept up with inflation. If it had we’d be buying $120 games. The problem is wages also haven’t kept up with inflation either. If gaming companies had increased the prices they’d have fucked themselves.

  I used to live in south korea. The first time I saw a squat toilet it blew my mind. That might be the nicest squat toilet i've seen though.

  Reddit karma is how others feel about what you say. Piefed’s attitude is how you feel about what other people say.

  Slightly different but i see your point.

  I like piefed because it lets you see at a glance if someone is a serial downvoter. On each piefed user profile is a thing called “attitude” and it’s a ratio of your upvotes vs downvotes. 100% means the person doesn’t downvote people. 50% means they downvote and upvote equally. 0% is only downvotes.

  It shows up for people outside piefed too so i see you too lemmy angry people.

  I'm also confused like you. Looking at the pictures in the article and the others at The Verge it appears to be a trophy or award like you get for employee of the year not a "statue".

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The Continental United States" should include Alaska since it's still a part of the same continent, but common usage of the phrase seems to exclude it anyway.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The related but distinct term continental United States includes Alaska, which is also on North America, but separated from the 48 states by British Columbia in Canada, but excludes Hawaii and all the insular areas in the Caribbean and the Pacific.

  That's because continental USA includes Alaska. You're thinking of contiguous or conterminous USA.

  Smedley Butler was warning us in 1935. War is a Racket .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's utterly hypocritical that the "defence" industry/sector is not called what it really is, the war industry.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It used to be called the Department of War. Then it split up after WWII into the department of the army, navy, air force and the overseeing department was renamed the department of defence.

  Phrasal verbs are the bane of english language learners. It's one of the weird things that natives speakers don't notice until they are mentioned by someone learning english or they become an english major.

  Wipe out, mull over, look up to. These are just some of the phrasal verbs you want to think over.
