Refusing or failing to pursue action against a violation of a trademark can cause a trademark to be considered abandoned and therefore invalid. It is a genuine legal concern. This is supposed to prevent individuals and companies from “sitting” on a trademark without the intention of using it.
This talk touches the very fundamental question of attribution of blame. Say I read an anti-Semitic leaflet and then perform a hate crime. How much of the responsibility do I bare and how much does the writer of the leaflet? And how much does the printing press?

First off, there is a very strong axiom here that "the masses" are extremely malleable and incapable of critical thinking. So, just like with children, it's the responsibility of the "influencer" to control the audience "properly". This is a very strong axiom that, while I personally agree with it, I'm guessing most people wouldn't when presented explicitly. This axiom has far reaching consequences for Free Speech as Free Speech only works when personal responsibility is a given. This is a classic "you can't have it both ways" situation.

But assuming this axiom and its implications (that people are not 100% responsible for their actions), the next question is how much of the external responsibility does the metaphorical printing press have? Is it ok for my OS to allow me to type "kill jews"? Is it ok for your browser to render said text? Should Microsoft censor the content of Word documents so they can't be used to spread hate speech? (this is not so far fetched: Photoshop blocks attempts to edit images of money bills for fear of being a tool for counterfeiting) Is it ok for a CDN (like Cloudflare) to decline services to websites based on their content (like 8chan and Daily Stormer)? If yes, must they decline and actively police the content of all "19 million Internet properties that use Cloudflare's service"? Should Google not deliver emails based on their content? etc.

How much do we want Facebook/Twitter to bare responsibility for the content of users and advertisers and thus actively censor based on their own criteria? What should be this criteria be?
Yup. Can't get that promotion if you are on the wrong product/team, that's what I heard at least.
It's actually a range between $100-$750 or actual damages, whichever is greater. [0]

The law also specifically calls out in the next section that:
"In assessing the amount of statutory damages, the court shall consider any one or more of the relevant circumstances presented by any of the parties to the case, including, but not limited to, the nature and seriousness of the misconduct, the number of violations, the persistence of the misconduct, the length of time over which the misconduct occurred, the willfulness of the defendant’s misconduct, and the defendant’s assets, liabilities, and net worth."

So seems like an accidental breach of a not super sensitive piece of data might be treated with more nuance.

Because it isn't a derivative of it.

Have a listen to this podcast by a linguist:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21607712

The short answer is the modern word woman has a separate etymological root than the word man. And the word man has had linguistic changes recently that mask those origins. Woman as well actually.

Man originally meant human really, and woman used to be Wifman (somewhat literally female human). Wife is a holdover from this prior to Middle english usage of the term.

Old english used wer and wif as man/woman respectively, and as you can guess Werewolf derives from the old ussage of man.

In short, its complicated and woman isn't a derivative of man. Its much more interesting than that. You can't look at the modern spelling of words to derive much on how we got to this point. You'll make a ton of categorical errors that way, especially in English given man used to just be the human race. Our modern take of man anywhere as needing to be replaced with woman depending on gender is slightly amusing once you know the etymology of the term in that regard.
Sure, it will guzzle electricity, which is still way cheaper than guzzling gas. The more energy being consumed the better the electric vehicle equation looks. This is why Tesla's semitrailer tractor is exciting.

Horsepower is just a proxy for 0-60 anyway. People shop for the experience, not the numbers, even if they end up at the numbers.
>> Also think to yourself why this is front and center? Whereas cigarettes literally kill millions a year and they are perfectly legal. Why? Because politicians cant control their agendas with open social media platforms.

The current crop of populist politicians are benefiting far more from social media platforms than they are from cigarettes.

> The transition to crypto currencies is happening faster than ever

Except I have yet to see any convincing indicators that crypto currency is actually being used for day to day transactions.

Everything I see suggests people are hoping it's the next gold rush and they'll strike it rich based on timing alone.

(Which is not to say I don't sometimes think about how back in 2011 I toyed with the idea of buying 1000 bitcoins just for kicks when they were ~$1 each.)
Are there any evidence people are using it more and not just buying into the speculation frenzy?
Like selling in 2017/2018 and never buying back in? Or the peak before at ~$1,200?
> almost everyone wants a single place where they can watch all the user-generated videos

I have my doubts this is true, so much as people are used to the relatively common controls/experience that comes with clicking a YouTube link. If I gave you a link to ocdtrekkietube.com/s8fsj2 (not a real link), and it worked as well as YouTube, I'm not sure any user would be particularly upset about it.

The biggest reason YouTube is as powerful as it is is that video hosting is expensive and few companies can eat that kind of bandwidth and storage without being an ad giant.
Spanish/latin culture also doesn't have the whole politically correct thing that we do.
No, it’s a comment on your suggestion that the police let the insurrectionists in deliberately; I’m saying it’s wrong.
IIRC the firmware turns the screen on for you so it's already there when Linux boots.
Yes, I'll just backup our chat and send it over to the HK police.

At worst a backup from Signal should only be your messages and at best it should not exist. Signal is designed for secure communication not archiving communications you wish to be secure. If you want a texting app try Telegram or something more focused on user experience vs secure communication.
As a data point, I haven't killed anyone because of trump tweets
This is a very relevant point for about 2005.

In the years since then, what was once a constellation of internet platforms has shrunken and consolidated to only a handful that are the de facto gatekeepers.

Legally, of course, nothing has changed since then. But it's willfully ignoring the unprecedented power of major platforms in shaping popular dialog to compare them to a local supermarket escorting someone out.
Like others in this thread, I'm worried about the extremely weak way this is presented. The deleted video where he outright lies about having won and even says "we love you" to the rioters would have been far, far more appropriate.

Now Trump supporters will focus on to this (which, it pains me to say, is kinda fair) and all hope of a more nuanced discussion of the much more valid reasons is out the window.

sigh You'd imagine a company the size and importance of Twitter would have someone there to do a half decent job of this...
Do you think you are being threatened?
Finally. Should have happened five years ago.

I deleted all my tweets years ago and now just have a zombie account to keep my username until Twitter disappears into oblivion where it belongs. I encourage you to reward their fecklessness by doing the same.

Paradox of tolerance is nonsense. If you are intolerant "only to the intolerant", you are intolerant, period.

If you want to have some moral higher ground, win them over with your virtue. Yes, it's incredibly hard. But it is not a hypocritical bullshit like this 'paradox'.
It's not clear what the votes are. However, the latter was written by someone who has banned for what appears to be their habit of leaving low-value comments.

> > Many of Us will return ... carrying Our weapons. ... We will come in numbers that no standing army or police agency can match. However, the police are NOT our enemy, unless they choose to be!

This is so embarrassing, you'd think people so hard right would remember the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Technology lols at their "numbers."
Perhaps I should clarify. I am not claiming that there is a superior educational philosophy. I am only claiming that in most modern educational institutions, constructivism is the practiced philosophy of education and is taught to all teachers. These institutes often also hold a belief in the idea of learning modalities and, contrary to the foundations of constructivism, preach these ideas quite blindly without regard to their flimsy evidence or poor performance when put into practice.
I grew up with a set of those (not sure if from that company or just a really similar product), and to me it represents a nicer time when toys for children were... can't quite find the right way to put it, but overall nicer.

Not only can you not read, but completely missed the point.

Apples system is closed compared to Android, but it is open compared to what came before, for most phones. The carriers would lock down handsets so they couldn't use bluetooth, couldn't download ringtones except from the carrier, couldn't plug into your computer. They would not start selling a phone unless it conformed to what they wanted it to do.
Well about Kozlowski (TYCO) and Ken Lay (ENRON)? What about Ben Ebbers (Worldcom)? Judging by the numbers, these guys may have done more damage.

Don't ask for anything. You will be able to use the book as promo, and even link to it on Amazon with your own affiliate.
If you studied networking in computer science, "the session protocol" means something between the presentation and transport layers in the iso 7 layer model.
Very good argument, but I cannot believe that anything of Wikileaks leaks would be really new, or of much value to Russians, or Chinese.

US diplomatic talks with sketchy regimes? I bet China, and Russia would've not needed any spies there really.

US sales of weapons? US sells them everywhere, and they don't need spies to know the bottom price, when most of weapon buyers would just tell them that themselves. You don't have too much alternatives in a duopoly market.

US spies on Russian, or Chinese soil? You don't need to tell regimes like that of them being penetrated. Xi, and Pu realize perfectly well that they are surrounded by thousands of sketchy, and unreliable officers.
Until evidence is substantiated, we should assume the parties that be will try to continue to blow this out of proportion. It shouldn't be surprising that one of Pelosi's aides is going to try to make the breach of the capital sound like something bigger than it really was - you know... to come up with more excuses to expand the surveillance of innocent citizens. As a Biden voter who also went to BLM protests (can't believe I have to lead with this on HN nowadays...) I can honestly say that many of those events were more violent and destructive than what happened Wednesday. Yes - I believe the people who stormed the capital were morons and will all likely end up in federal "pound me in the ass" prison [0].

The pictures of staffers "cleaning up after the destruction" that show them just putting plastic cups into trash bags are hilarious. If only we could get both sides who disagree with the govt to cooperate and compromise - without a need to rely on gov to facilitate compromise maybe we could start to see light at the end of the tunnel? It's now clearer than ever that the government and even trump don't support what the people want. There's more than enough common ground to stop sending huge sums of money to other countries, to support small business (minority or otherwise) and be reasonable, the only thing standing in the way is division. Calling the other side inhuman or unworthy is walking into the same trap that gave us trump...

Most obviously, if you invite the military in and ask them to secure a portion of the building, you're exposed to the risk that the commander-in-chief will order them out (or order them to stand aside); it's unlikely that forces could be redeployed fast enough to respond to such a defection. (And no, you can't avoid this danger by having all the forces working together everywhere; far too many command-and-control issues arise.) If you don't invite the military to assist in the first place... well, then you're not relying on them to guard your back.

There's also a fundamental democratic issue at stake: It's not by coincidence that the United States Capitol Police answers to the legislature and not to the executive -- indeed, this is seen around the world (e.g. Canada's Parliamentary Protective Service answers to the Speakers of the House and Senate) and arguably the principle that military forces should not be brought to the seat of legislative power dates back to the Roman Republic... which swiftly became the Roman Empire after Caesar crossed the Rubicon with an army at his back.
When I saw the cryptic 1 sentence tweet that he wasn't going to be there, the first thing that came to mind was that he was telling his supporters indirectly that they could do whatever they wanted since he wouldn't be in harms way.

So perhaps it is a huge stretch to some, but we need to remember it is also not a stretch at all to many, especially given the recent events. Therein lies the danger.
The definition of "scientific belief" is belief in something supported by a scientific method.

How many examples on the OP did you read? How many of those examples were supported by a scientific method? (Probably some, but not all.) I think my definition better suits the context, quibbling aside.
I'll cover that in another post, but yes, I feel much, much more disciplined and in control now. Particularly around daily habits. I have about a dozen habits that I do Mon-Fri and I haven't missed a single one in more than a year. For the last three months, I've been getting up at 345am seven days a week and I haven't missed a single day. It's not all this book and it's hard to describe, but there's a difference.
According to google, it is not.

> `go generate` as a substitute for lexer/parser generators is another example of Go being decades behind programming language research.

Nobody wrote that `go generate` is a substitue for lexer/parser generators. `go generate` is just a mechanism to automate the execution of the generator, as explained by the comment you replied to.

Repeating ad nauseum that Go is "decades behind programming language research" is not enough to make your point :-)

Sounds interesting. Any link to share with us?
You really think the people buying lottery tickets each day are thinking about the odds?
I think it's not a priority simply because it makes no difference. I mean, if you had some Disney-style ability to 'go back' and change one thing, it'd be the 48-hour delay in forming an initial conclusion?

Personally, I think it'd be much more productive to address the culture that leads to this - it is incredibly difficult for pilots to seek help for mental health issues. It's "career suicide", and puts them in a position where medical professionals are their enemy.

Worrying about the particular trivialities of this incident really doesn't get us anywhere - remembering that any tool put in place to help the "good guy" is also available for use by the "bad guy". Ensuring "good crew" can rush the flight deck helps in the case that it's the "bad crew" flying - but also allows for "bad crew" to rush the flight deck while "good crew" are flying. You can't win this one.

This is very interesting. There are a lot of brand-sensitive client types such as healthcare organizatons and higher education who would love this. I do have one question though.

According to Wikipedia's list of software and search engines that support OpenSearch, only Google Chrome is on the list. [1]

Google as a search engine is not listed. The screenshot in the article is also in Chrome.

I wonder if this feature is supported in Firefox or IE.

Currently I pay the website (or channel in your example) directly for premier content, but what is being proposing would involve me paying a marked up price to my ISP that passes that on to the website they choose. Or would there be a $10/mo for email/3 "content" websites? I can get everything for $20/mo currently (Roadrunner lite is $20). Broadband is SO cheap now, how could anyone justify paying less than $20/mo for way, way less access?

I don't really see any way that a free market could support a neutral Internet right now - these "schemes" will be forced down our throats.
I hardly knew who Kevin Smith was before I read this post (and then googled him), but I also had the impression of him being depressed. I remember how he told an airline to fuck off because he was too fat to fit in his seat. His neutral face also looks kinda sad. And he's very fat. Both are strong signs of depression, but not proof in any way.

He probably isn't very depressed at the moment (he claims weed got him off his depression), but I can see why people who don't know much about him thinks that way. Being very fat and not smiling are more than enough "proof" for most people to judge wether people are depressed or not.

Definitely! It's been on my backburner for years as well. I have the book and started to take the edX course a couple of years ago, but got sidetracked with work. I e-mailed Peter Van Roy back in May, asking if the edX course would be resumed. He stated that the local university course got removed from the engineering curriculum, so that's why the edX course isn't running anymore. Hopefully it comes back. He mentioned that he had recorded some lectures on his YouTube channel.

I think there is some truth to this but I wouldn’t argue to keep a day job as a writer. The vast majority of recording artists are never able to match the music they recorded in their 20’s. I’ve commented on that before here so I won’t get into it further than to say that the world isn’t interested in middle aged musicians which in turn affects the work.

I think someone like Thomas Pynchon shows that an author can very well be producing very good work well into the old age. There are rumours about him being both a professor or exCIA but I’m sure he’s been reasonably well off since the late 70s. While I haven’t read Bleeding Edge, his most recent novel, Inherent Vice is wild and excellent.

Maybe keeping a job keeps a writer honest or at least in the public watching and note taking. But I don’t think this is always true and it would be heartbreaking to take the dream away from everyone about ever becoming a full-time novelist.

I also don’t think making great art is easy. A few family deaths and accumulated illnesses and bad experience can really do a number on people. Not to suggest that this is Wolfe but there are many factors at play.
The moral of the story is that most people don't really know how difficult it is to:

1. Come up with an idea.

2. Plan and execute idea to achieve a finished product.

3. Get finished product shipped out to users.

That's why this kind of shit has normally been relegated to people having to pitch ideas to people who not only have capital, but also have experience in bringing products to market.

Kickstarter gives any person with a dream, an opportunity. Without also explaining to them that this is a long row to hoe.
will this be open source eventually?
Ah well, thanks for checking.

I think 200$ a license is a bit out of range for me anyways.
Welp, after messing around with a few voices I was completely impressed with Glados's. This is really cool because I have no idea how the character's voice was synthesized, but apparently ML can do it for me so props to that.
