This is unsurprising. My experience with the Edison: Cool little product with a lot of potential, but the stability problems, lack of timely releases of updates, lack of support for common libraries in their package management system, etc. were all bad signs. I never got the feeling that it would be safe to build a product around the Edison.

I don't think x86/PC comparability is irrelevant. ARM is not an architecture. It's just a SoC where manufactures hook random crap to random pins and make patched to hell, non-upstreamable kernels:

http://penguindreams.org/blog/android-fragmentation/

Windows Mobile ARM at least required UEFI, but their bootloaders are locked. Most mobile phones don't support device tree. Even on ARM boards that support device tree, hardware support is still hit and miss:

> What stupid pedantic point?

That studies don't have literally the same people in both groups.

Especially when the main problem with "I turned out fine, so it must be safe" is that the person is confusing anecdotes with statistics, not any deficits in rigor caused by lack of access to branching timelines.

It's no wonder people are confused about what you're actually trying to say. So you don't have to be intentionally condescending with "you should go back and read the comment again ellipsis".

Edit: Oh great you added similar language to this comment while I was replying. Cheers.

Edit 2: Even if you had branching timelines, the butterfly effect ruins your ability to know if your intervention is the actual cause of any particular outcome. Maybe one version of the participant skips a plane flight five years down the line, and that changes their health in a major way.
Don't get me wrong, it's an interesting idea and one I'd like to explore further, as I like writing. I do it infrequently, but as you can see from my blog, I do do it, and I'll keep doing it whether I get paid for it or not.

Would you say the same logic should be applied to all intellectual property, or are trademarks special?

For example, should copyright laws depend on whether the thing being protected is offensive?
I heard that they've closed their IOT unit.
It's an intellectual property law question based on the emotional reactions of people to speech. It's possible that this is both a free speech case and an intellectual property rights case.

Do we want to be in a society where only things deemed non-offensive are protected? Seems maybe a little arbitrary and capricious?

Personally, I'd rather ditch most IP entirely, but that's rather a different issue.
trivial processing power but news organizations tend to want traffic on their websites where you can see ads and click on them and other content. Not sure for how long they will even support RSS let alone make an effort to support websockets. They begrudgingly push stuff into social media only because it significantly pushes traffic to their sites.

Would the defense argue for the benefits of withholding trademark protection, or just the constitutionality of doing so?
Less of the personal attacks, please. I think I'm discussing this in good faith.

It's possible to be aware that certain tools exist and have an idea about what they're used for, and yet know little enough about them to butt into a discussion and give any sort of fruitful, educated opinion about them.

Yes, that's probably true. If that were the case, I would expect an answer like "I don't know anything those beyond the fact that it's a cross-platform language that runs on a virtual machine and Rails is a framework for Ruby. But I do know a lot of Python and Go, which have some similar characteristics. We could talk about the general difference between compiled and interpreted languages?"

These questions serve as entry points. I'm not expecting a developer who doesn't use these tools to have an in-depth knowledge of how everything works, but if the question kills the interview to the point where someone is unable to move forward then that is a warning sign.

You almost sound like one of these interviewers who think that a programmer who can't implement a red-black tree off the top of his head...

No. I absolutely would not expect that, and those questions are stupid. I would expect a senior developer to know what a tree is, and maybe what a red-black tree is. I would expect them to know what operations can commonly be done on a tree, or what use-cases they might have. I would expect them to be able to, say, contrast a tree with a hash table. If a developer said, however, "I have never used a tree or a hash table and have no idea what you are talking about" then I would also consider that to be a warning sign. Do you see the similarity?

Over-specialization? Seriously? A programmer who's used more than a dozen programming languages is over-specialized because he can't discuss the two you want to talk about? The stench of elitism is only getting stronger here. You're assuming the worst of a programmer because his world doesn't revolve around the same things yours does, and you are assuming that despite their experience they probably will not try to or cannot educate themselves further.

You are misrepresenting my view; see above for more details. I do not think it is elitist to expect people in senior roles to know about common tools used in that role. I would not expect them to be specialists, but I would expect them to understand the state of the field and be able to discuss that. I mean, we're not talking about obscure technologies here!

Unfortunately I see this sort of prejudiced attitude everywhere... "I think this is important so if you don't know this, you can't possibly be any good." Such statements reveal a rather narrow world view.

That is an unfortunate misrepresentation of my view, so I'm sorry if I've failed to communicate it effectively. I guess from what you've said above that you think I'd place much more weight on the technical content of that answer than I would in practice.

That actually looks lovely I'll check it out!
But alas, communicating earlier is when things have the most uncertainty. I have had great managers that set expectations around how much uncertainty and change is built-in to what they're communicating, but in general, the earlier they share something, the more likely it is to not be certain yet, still it's often useful information to have.

(I'm only speaking in general, not specific to this situation.)
That was the government's argument and the Court's decision addressed it. Trademarks are not "government speech," they existed before the government -- both at the state level and in Common Law. Your trademark is protected because it is your trademark, not because the government decides to protect it.

That is what the government was saying. But a band would have a harder time staying alive if they had no trademark.

For example, the band said that you can't get signed by a label if you don't have a trademark on your name. Also, you can't prevent others from selling merchandise bearing your name.

So while the government wasn't telling them that they couldn't use the name, the government's desired outcome would have made it more difficult for the band to survive. Same for the Redskins — and how much money do you think they make on merchandise?

Tooling is actually okay, it seems archaic because with a FPGA you are actually designing the very fundamentals of computing. There is no hand holding there.

I'm calling it, Intel is going to be a shadow of it's former self in 5 years. They have had tremendous issues competing in almost anything outside of x86 processors over their entire lifespan. They consistently get outmanuevered in gpus, ssds, low power socs, machine learning, et cetera. The x86 platform that they currently own, is mostly due to intertia and fab facility advantages.

AMD, was able to launch a pretty competitive CPU despite massive delays because Intel has barely improved the ipc of their processors over the last 5 years.

Meanwhile Apple is betting on iPads being the future computer of the Everyman and they make their own chips. Microsoft recently acknowledged that windows basically has to run on arm for the future proofing of their platform. I guarantee you start seeing more arm based windows computers soon.

Intel recently told everyone they're willing to sue for patent money, the last desperate act.

Intel better have a leapfrog cpu in the pipeline or it's over.
That line got me mind-boggled too. But I realized the English people spoke and specially wrote back in the day was quite verbose and the sentence construction was obviously quite elaborate.

To help you out, I think that line equates to - "Considering two coordinate systems that are moving in uniform motion of parallel translation relative to each other ("which we now conveniently call an Inertial Reference Frame"), the laws governing the movement of a physical body is independent of which of the 2 systems you choose."

Which also equates to - "The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to one another "

> No, Intel classifies TDP as the instantaneous maximum power draw

Are you sure about that? I can't dig up the link at the moment, but I seem to recall some hardware hacker thread where people would regularly exceed the TDP of Intel chips by running SSE/AVX-heavy workloads like Prime95, and Intel's response was basically, "That's not a real workload, it doesn't count". Which is not an unreasonable answer, but it's definitely not defining TDP as the maximum possible power draw.
