Because it demonstrates a theft of tech and design, which puts their credibility and integrity in question. Is the derivative safe (actually safe, not government-of-China wanting a feather in its cap rubber-stamp safe)? Is the derivative actually comparable (i.e. is the marketing a lie)? Aside from that, do we want to reward companies that steal other companies' ideas?
- endisneigh 3y agoPlease do tell me a company that has released something that is independently invented in its entirety with respect to “tech and design” Such a ridiculous take on a technology forum. It’s a waste of human energy to reinvent the wheel. Not to mention the example given earlier is irrelevant since it’s no longer in production anyway.
- sidlls 3y agoPlease stop moving the goalposts. Iterating on the past is different from thieving entire designs, and you know it.
- endisneigh 3y agoThere is more to design than its surface appearance, and the car described earlier uses an entirely different drivetrain than the Mercedes… I swear the stupidest takes on this forum called “hacker news”. Hackers who usually reuse the same exploit “tech and design”, lol…
