Preferably there would be some explanation and example code that demonstrates this. A handful of words and two screenshots don't tell much. If favicon.ico files can be interpreted as HTML files, that means that they can probably be anything random, and as they are often cached and even saved somewhere to be shown besides bookmarks, that seems to be a dangerous thing (not that I know much about security but still, why not just whitelist a couple widely-used formats?).

Googling "federal circuit implicit patent grant" will find you tons of free sources, as will "Federal circuit exhaustion".

Like i said, it just doesn't say "software" on it.
But it's not like this is fresh snow. People have been dealing with this in every facet of thing for years.

There's plenty of caselaw even on things like "person gives away free samples, later tries to sue for patent infringement" or "person gives gift, later tries to sue for patent infringement and "person licenses !software, later tries to sue for patent infringement".

If you have access to lexis or something, it's all neatly organized too :)

If you don't, here's a reasonable case to start on exhaustion:

http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/opinions-or...

Exhaustion of patent rights applies even when it's given away free:
"In summary, we hold that patent exhaustion principles
apply equally to all authorized transfers of title in
property, regardless of whether the particular transfer at
issue constituted a gift or a sale. "

Here's an older article with a ton of cites:
https://www.finnegan.com/en/insights/the-u-s-supreme-court-c...

Note: All the parts in the article that talk about restricting use post-sale are now invalid.
The supreme court held, last year, that post-sale restrictions cannot be imposed, exhaustion still occurs,
too bad, so sad. (http://www.ipwatchdog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Supreme...)

Now remember, it doesn't matter if it was sold sold or given away,, i just gave you precedent saying it applies just as well to a gift.

So those are out the window too.

That's just on the exhaustion side, even without finding an implied license (which are closely related).

There really is just no precedent to hang your hat on that says "yeah, you can give people stuff, tell them they can use it, and then sue them for patent infringement".

It doesn't matter if it's an implied grant, exhaustion, you name it.
There is just no case out there that says "yeah, that's okay".

My friends son is constantly asking for more Pokémon cards.

It is not possible to buy one "out of the box" as far as I know. I would budget at least 2 hours of overhead to learn the basics (it's a lot easier nowadays then it used to be). If every part you pick is 100% compatible, you'll have a much better time; getting unsupported parts working is a pretty big headache.
Baking soda is great for cleaning pants too. Just boil some water with baking soda in it and everything stuck to the pan is taken off. In extreme cases you can add some peroxide.
I absolutely, 100% would not volunteer to go through a "horrible torture."

I certainly wouldn't do it for "a game." I don't think I would do it for any amount of money or other benefit, either. What you're proposing is (seemingly) no benefit beyond the experience of being tortured--which coincidentally you are going you erase when you delete the mental illness.

Anyway, you're wrong, nobody would sign up for that. People who are afraid of roller coasters don't ride them. Everyone's afraid of torture.
On days when I am in a lot of pain and throwing up, discussion here often sucks. People are mean to me and they don't understand me. The rest of the time, it's pretty darn good. ;)

Exactly, it's already illegal to use any such modifications, so it's just a lame excuse to own the customers.

I really hope Scott posts his research. I know he's given this a lot of thought and looked through a lot of precedent on this issue.

Honestly, he was the one who convinced me that there really is nothing out there to hang your hat on when it comes to suing people for patent infringement in MIT licensed software.

I would be in favor of ending state sponsored lotteries.

I could see an argument in favor of them if:

* Sellers were obligated to disclose the odds of winning the jackpot at the time of purchase punishable to the same extent as underage liquor sales

* The state was required to render, upon request, financial consultation at the burden of the state to winners whose consultation can, at the winner's discretion, be recorded and later reviewed to understand the advice rendered and its context with respect to the winner's financial situation and risk profile
Up until 2008 in the Supreme Court Heller decision, the second amendment was not recognized as an unlimited individual right to firearms, and the 'well regulated militia' part of the amendment allowed states and localities to introduce their own ownership requirements, and indeed, many did, even in the 18th century, many local ordinances regulated firearms. A reactionary supreme court and aggressive NRA produced the overton window shift we now find ourselves in, where even banning those on mental health or terrorist watch lists from buying guns is perceived as a "slippery slope" too much to bear.
It's describing a ratio:

FAR 101.41 (b) subsumes any such guideline as a regulation. AMA's see and avoid guideline says any flight expected to go above 400 feet requires a spotter, so if you don't do that, you're violating FARs. Operating an sUAS with autopilot (among other things) has its additional advanced flight system programming guidelines, which have a hard 400 foot ceiling when operating within 5 miles of an airport. This is legally identical to having a regulation preventing operation above 400 feet AGL.

If you violate the applicable community guidelines, you're violating FARs. That's what this part says.

And then there is the catch all FAR 101.43, which is a big black hole of liability that you can also easily run into if you're unfamiliar with the national airspace system and your surroundings. If you fly a sailplane or m/sUAS above 1200' AGL in a published victor airway (this is Class E airspace), I'd argue that's a clear altitude violation of this regulations.

(b) do not really care, because science is not the issue here.

The issue is witch-hunts. You may well come to care if and when they decide to come for you. Given my conclusions that you are a rational person who values truth, that may well happen to you. Then again, most people are just fine with coercion and injustice, so long as it's happening to people who "deserve it," in the style of comic book stories. It may never happen to you, and you may well be fine with them. That is also quite normal.
That seems like a reasonable step in the right direction. You wouldn't be forcing companies to abandon products (and preventing consumers from buying things that they potentially do actually want), but you do help the consumer make informed decisions and weigh the costs versus the potential benefits.
I used to use an Apple tablet to watch things in bed. I could not buy a day pass for Sky Sports, nor rent/buy things on Amazon Prime Video from the apps. That worked all right with the xbox apps and it works now on the Android tablet I replaced the Apple one with.

That's actually a pretty good manifesto.

There are some sacred cow on HN too that you cannot go against: meltdown/spectre is overblown, Google tech isn't the greatest, or numerous economic or political opinions.

It also seems like there has been a relaxing of posting subject matter requirements. Naked politics now hit the front page daily when mods used to give at least lip service to deleting it. I think this has done a lot of bring in tribalism - online political discussing seems to bring it out in people and it spreads like a cancer to the rest of the site.

I think if you shoved the political discussion to a side channel, the discussion all around would improve.
As far as you know.

File systems fall into the category of software where a bug can have disastrous consequences. Even if the probability of a bug is small, the magnitude of the consequence means that the overall risk is still high. And the current quality of software coming from Apple is so bad that the probability is not low.

For myself, I'm not letting APFS near my systems for at least a couple more years.

That seems a lousy way to kill an animal.

I saw a video (which I won't link to you, as I'm certain you don't want to see it) of a phenomenal on-site butcher, he was incredibly precise, fast, etc.

Anyway, the video starts with a live cow, which is killed instantly with a small firearm and a well-placed bullet to the brain.

I butcher animals sometimes (I hunt and have a small homestead) and I would not dream to use any method which involved a death even as slow as bleeding out.

The analogy would be more like defining custom functions or classes not in the standard library. It's just encapsulation that can then be used by name. They can't be inserted arbitrarily regardless of syntax like a macro can be.

Wtf. Should chopping the head off a chicken be illegal as well? How about shooting a cow in the back of the skull? What if it's suffering? Is it ok then?
No, in that case it's regulated under part 101.
This stance is both correct and so incredibly unpopular it will always be downvoted.

The root of most of our large-scale problems is just that - the scale, the multiplier.

It doesn't seem like we will ever actually face this issue head-on and manage population like just another resource, scientifically, with data determining what the appropriate number of people is for a given land mass and standard of living.

Instead, our elected officials will continue doing very short-sighted (re)election-paced plans. We, as a species, will continue leveraging technology to push our numbers ever higher with little regard for the long-term consequences. Then nature, like a sudden stock market collapse, will correct this unruly mess in the form of a population collapse and suffering the world has never before seen.

This all annoys me quite a lot, because we're perfectly capable of managing the situation better and actually preventing a huge amount of long-term suffering if we just decided to face reality.

What's happening in lieu of population size management, is a steady decline of quality of life. Access to clean air and drinking water is diminishing, access to clean real food is an expensive privilege (organic produce), civil liberties are eroding (9/11!), the seas are contaminated with microplastics, housing costs are skyrocketing, infrastructure is crumbling, this list can go on. These are all symptoms of a massive multiplier being applied to much of modern-man's activities.

But let's not try to address these challenges, when we can instead argue endlessly over why there aren't more women in the engineering department.

I do reach for Markdown/Pandoc whenever possible, but on longer documents one will end up using lots of LaTeX tricks to get the job done (newcommands, subfigures, or that strange package that respects the typesetting conventions of your field).

Plus, I think Pandoc-based collaboration is still out of reach, as there are simply too many moving parts: the underlying LaTeX distribution, templates, filters, most of them only available through cloning git repositories.

So a typical workflow of mine is: draft in Markdown/Pandoc, start adding stuff, but migrate to LaTeX very soon if you notice something is going wrong (also, the Pandoc LaTeX output sometimes needs some tweaking, so it's better to leave Markdown while the document is relatively small).
I am ignorant as to how that could matter? It's managed writes to a hard disk. How could the brand of hard disk, or the mobo, or whatever, matter in this situation?
That's incorrect. A 51% attack means an adversary having 51% or more of the hashing power (calculated as hashes generated per second) and using it to disrupt the normal operation of the blockchain.

A party with 51% of hashing power can single handedly create a blockchain that other nodes will accept over any competing chain, meaning they can rewrite history, or prevent any new transactions from being confirmed.

If consensus were based on number of nodes, the network could be easily Sybil attacked, given the cost of running what appears to be a node is next to nothing. It would also be difficult to make such a consensus protocol usable, as there's no efficient way to poll a large number of network nodes.
I agree. I think regulation should focus on ensuring people have the facts and can make an informed decision, not make the decision for them.

It's admirable that Amazon allows negative reviews on its site. But that's the catch, they could change their mind. Or they could be less aggressive about stopping fake positive reviews. There isn't a good, independent source of reviews on specific listing.

There is a fsck_apfs, I’m pretty sure that’s what the repair button in the disk util runs.
From http://dtrace.org/blogs/ahl/2016/06/19/apfs-part5/ :

"Explicitly not checksumming user data is a little more interesting. The APFS engineers I talked to cited strong ECC protection within Apple storage devices. Both flash SSDs and magnetic media HDDs use redundant data to detect and correct errors. The engineers contend that Apple devices basically don’t return bogus data. NAND uses extra data, e.g. 128 bytes per 4KB page, so that errors can be corrected and detected. (For reference, ZFS uses a fixed size 32 byte checksum for blocks ranging from 512 bytes to megabytes. That’s small by comparison, but bear in mind that the SSD’s ECC is required for the expected analog variances within the media.) The devices have a bit error rate that’s tiny enough to expect no errors over the device’s lifetime. In addition, there are other sources of device errors where a file system’s redundant check could be invaluable. SSDs have a multitude of components, and in volume consumer products they rarely contain end-to-end ECC protection leaving the possibility of data being corrupted in transit. Further, their complex firmware can (does) contain bugs that can result in data loss."

(sorry for the edits, I finally found the paragraph my memory was referring to)
I'd argue that it's not just PayPal though, although they've played a part for sure. Credit cards in the US are ubiquitous and offer a very high level of fraud protection that consumers are used to.

Of course, that fraud protection (and the multiple points & cash back systems) are all covered by overhead in the system. Merchant fees are quite expensive, although the consumer never usually sees them except for small things like cash discounts or minimum transaction amounts at small businesses. There have been some interesting court cases about the ability for merchants to pass those fees onto their customers.
I know I sound like an old crank, but I've been a Mac user since 1984. And the last MacOS version that I completely trusted as being loyal to my needs and workflow was Snow Leopard. Every later version has felt like it was really Apple's OS and I was just borrowing it.

The pirate bay isn't in the US.

And in general, the fact that some bad laws exist that violate the general principles the legal system as a whole operates under is no excuse for condoning such laws or not construing them as narrowly as possible to mitigate the damage done to the justice system by naked populism like that.

If there are so many marijuana users that the majority of pipes sold are used for marijuana rather than tobacco, it makes absolutely no sense to punish the people selling pipes rather than either punishing the people actually using marijuana or just legalizing marijuana.
But employment at will isn't just a conservative value --- it's a signpost conservative value, one of the basic principles on which we organize our market economy.

What went on with James Damore has nothing to do with the "good workings" of the employment marketplace. Rather, it's the abuse of at-will employment by groups to push political agendas through coercion.

Damore is in this instance a conservative the same way the nihilists in The Big Lebowski were nihilistic.

Before the precipitating events, James Damore counted himself a "Classical Liberal." From what I can tell, he may have leaned Libertarian. Honestly, if you were in his shoes, would you think you were treated fairly? I think your answer would be that you wouldn't have been in his shoes. You would have advised James Damore to keep his head down and his mouth shut. The necessity of such a stance is a sign that there's some form of at least mild oppression.
