<p>What do you mean by copied? Ireland was colonised by the English for many years, and was part of their common law system during that period.<p>When it became independent, all laws weren't suddenly repealed, some were just ammended over time (as any common law system does). It's my understanding that Irish Courts can still refer to court cases from other common law countries in terms of precidence, even now</p>

<p>Genuine question, when people talk about apple silicon being fast, is the comparison to windows intel laptops, or Mac intel architecture?<p>Because, when running a Linux intel laptop, even with crowd strike and a LOT of corporate ware, there is no slowness.<p>When blogs talk about "fast" like this I always assumed it was for heavy lifting, such as video editing or AI stuff, not just day to day regular stuff.<p>I'm confused, is there a speed difference in day to day corporate work between new Macs and new Linux laptops?<p>Thank you</p>

<p>I have to agree. In fairness I am biased in that I have used xubuntu (xfce Ubuntu distro) for many years, but the one "feature" is that now I find it hard to use any other OS because of "perceived latency".<p>I see a top comment here speaking about an inefficient architecture.. that may be the case under the hood, but if you use it for a while, the "click lag" is very noticeable when you move off it.<p>Maybe it's not a good thing! /s. When I started a new role, I had to use a mac for a week until IT did a Linux swap out, and I found it so frustrating. Mostly the inability to set shortcuts that were muscle memory, but also the lag.<p>I have noticed lag more on a brand new iPhone (the pro one) then on my face... Which is something</p>

<p>You have hit the nail on the head there! The point in the book was that depending on your editor, you were essentially living in different realities.<p>There was the east and west coasts, and then there was Ameristan (or something I can't remember exactly) in between, which was fundamentalist</p>

<p>Fall, or Dodge in hell, by Neil Stephenson has a take on this.<p>The internet is flooded with slop and rage-bait on purpose. So filled as to be unusable, like a firehose of shit. So in there comes a role if "editor" whose job it is (you pay them) to only give you, well not even what's "true", rather what reflects your world view. So which editor you have becomes a factor in how you live, where your educated, your status.<p>It will be interesting to see if something as explicit as editors arise.<p>I will say this, if you stay off Facebook and some of the other big social sites for a while, it is like a madhouse when you glance back</p>

<p>People were pirating before napster, but napster made it easy, accessable, and let people do it with little to no barrier.<p>It's the same with this.. yes photo editing could always be done, but it's far easier now to get better results. It's accessibility changes the game</p>
