If two photographers shoot the same millisecond in time, who owns the copyright? In this example, there were discernible differences, but what if the differences were below our level (or care) to discern them?
I see a lot of differences in the waves, so I'm doubting the "exact millisecond" statement. Perhaps within a few tens of milliseconds.
The skeptic in me thinks this was planned. Yellow submarining given that the author is selling something
You have to maintain a basic level of trust in the source of information if you're going to have any interesting thoughts about it. Finding actual evidence of fakery would be worthwhile, or checking some features and reporting how you found none would be too. But there's no value suggesting it just because you feel cynical.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
i know it's a joke, but the usb logo on the plug is always on top, so you can just orient it 'up' according to the underlying board (up for laptops, and facing left for desktops)
Ok I'll open up my computer case to see which way the board is mounted.
The side of your case that has the motherboard's backplate (where you plug everything in) is the bottom. On the vast majority of towers, the plate is on the right side, meaning left is up.
EDIT: right/left when looking at the front of the case.
This assumes that both photos were not edited.
This is typical birthday paradox stuff right? The chance that these two photographers would ever snap the same thing at the same time is small, but the chance that any two photographers, anywhere, would do so is, I bet, pretty big (even if you factor in millisecond precision). With photographers being photographers and the internet being the internet, there's also a pretty decent change that they'd find out about it…
> but the chance that any two photographers, anywhere, would do so is, I bet, pretty big Not necessarily, but the the chance of any crazy coincidence happening and reaching HN homepage is quite big. Next time it might be two people with same name writing the exact same tweet independently. Or perhaps one guy winning the World Series of Poker two times in a row with the same winning hand. When there's a million "kinds…

This is a picture that I took in 2009; you can see the ball coming off Ken Griffey's bat after breaking it.
A major league fastball comes off the bat at 100+ miles per hour (45 m / s). The shutter speed was 1/640s (about 1.5 msec). The ball is about 7.26 cm in diameter.
I had the same thing happen with one of my photos of lightning in London. I actually thought my shot had been ripped off at first glance, then realised it was from a different angle.

Things move a lot in a millisecond, although it's certainly easier to see that in small-scale images rather than this lighthouse one. https://sib.smugmug.com/Sports/Baseball/SEA-DET/i-jhrMkC3/A This is a picture that I took in 2009; you can see the ball coming off Ken Griffey's bat after breaking it.

And Ron is the better photographer. The other photo is a little bit over exposed. This assumes that both photos were not edited.
