"They aren't going to happen on a very large scale"
All Swiss watch manufacturers combined sold 17 million electronic units and 7 million purely mechanical units 2017. Apple sold 18 million watches in the same period.
As none of the proposed claims in Apple's patent application refer to single-piece membranes overlain across the entire keyboard, examples of single-piece membranes are not prior art which would invalidate those claims.
Did anyone bother to read what Apple is claiming in the patent application?
You would have to defer the monthly price for 8 months to accumulate enough for the yearly price BUT you also have to account for any additional cost from any substitutes for Prime used in the meantime.If the total price for substitutes costs you more than 3.5 times the monthly price you will never accumulate the lump sum.
If you are not using any substitutes, then there's no reason to get yearly or monthly Prime at all.
1) Anyone talking about the validity of a patent without using the word "claim" even once is a dumbass.
2) Why would you submit a patent story to Slashdot without including a link to the patent? I had to go three articles deep just to find the patent number. Here's an actual link to the actual patent: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi...
3) Why does "freepatentsonline" even exist when you can already read patents online for free at the actual Patent Office website? USPTO even gives them to you in HTML.
So you were brought here as a baby or toddler, possibly by your illegally immigrating parents who have since died or directly by your adoptive parents. You graduate high school, get into college, and why you apply for student aid you find out you're not really a citizen because when you were adopted the state fucked up the paperwork despite claiming you citizenship was taken care of.
Please describe the process to renormalize you immigration status. Remember: a) since you're now 18 or older and you know you are out of status, it's an automatic 10 year exclusion to get a visa to re-enter the US; b) since you were taken from the country of your birth before you could speak, you don't know the language of the country to which you may be deported; c) at the moment you have no valid passport for any country.
Note that this is not a theoretical problem. I have read of multiple cases in just my state just by following the local news.
b) Those that receive DACA deferrals were minors when brought to the United States.
c) Those that receive DACA deferrals are not given normalized immigration status. They are given low priority for deportation as long as they can prove that they are not committing any crimes, etc.. In exchange they have provided the Federal government with their whereabouts so that if they become reprioritized they can be quickly rounded up.
d) Those receiving DACA deferrals cannot naturalize. They have to leave the US and reenter to provide a clean immigration record, and since they were knowingly in the US out of status there is an automatic 10 year exclusion.
e) Those that receive DACA deferrals are ineligible for any federal benefits.
They make no claim about having all of that money in a pile right now. As the sum of investments over time, they pay for new investments from the returns on earlier investments.
Tesla has publicly stated that these were for-cause firings. If they told the employees that it was not for-cause in their severance notice, now they've got a different kind of problem.
This is in fact the reason I have script blockers and ad blockers: to prevent malicious third-party code from running on my machine. That the primary cases of this involve advertising is incidental.

"Law has an actual definition in scientific terms." ...which is a statement about observations that has descriptive qualities, e.g. Moore's Law.

Lots of people outraged that their network is run like a college campus, no one looking at what he meant by that phrase.
The thing is? The "Genius" used the wrong terminology, in my opinion, which made things sound worse than they really are.
You have overlooked the fact that "speck of dust" was used by multiple Apple employees. That makes it an institutional problem either way.
Tesla has publicly stated that these were for-cause firings. If they told the employees that it was not for-cause in their severance notice, now they've got a different kind of problem.
