Christianity is very important to lots of Americans but “turn the other cheek” or “blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth” are empirically not among the operating principles of the American government or criminal justice system.
It's not as common as you may think. I know of a company where the CEO was doing this to line his own pockets. He went to jail for a different fraud (vendor kickbacks) and that's when the company board found out about his self-dealing and sued him for breach of fiduciary.
Apple Watch Series 5 review: A better, more independent timepiece
Yeah, it's super easy to make even the most mundane thing sound like space-age technology: "a process for systematic analysis of textual corpus to identify and correct erroneous deviations from accepted linguistic norms" - in other words, spell check. We can't rely on overworked examiners to decipher pseudo-technical bullshit to determine if the behavior of a software system is sufficiently non-obvious and specific. The entire concept of a software patent must be forbidden.
Just a wild guess, but probably no where near as much as large buildings or large power plants with cooling towers.

I have about 3 different devices, all of which seem to work well.

1. A device identical to your picture.

2. This "other" tea ball: https://i.imgur.com/Hg0mWFl.jpg

3. Tea "infuser". Similar to this one (but a different brand): https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41QJxs18f1L... . This is the bulkiest option though, and you still need another cup to transfer the liquid to.

My favorite tool is #1: the "springy clasp ball on the end of a stick". So I can recommend that to everyone over the other two devices. #2 isn't bad, but there's a lot of convenience factor to #1's spring design.

> In terms of convenience I don't think it's significantly worse than sachets.

In making tea, no, not much difference. But I dislike cleaning metal-meshes. Cleaning is a minor inconvenience... but if you've ever just used a paper-cup + Lipton tea bag and just trash everything when you're done... lol. Lazy lifestyle (but wasteful).

But yeah, its probably better for the environment to have these reusable tools, like a coffee mug.

---------

By the way, Lipton does sell loose tea, if you're a fan of Lipton. But I live near a tea / coffee shop with superior teas at low prices, so I just grab what they have instead.

As far as store-bought tea is concerned, Twinings is tasty and widely available. I'd take Twinings > Lipton any day. Lipton is slightly cheaper, but Twinings really does taste better.
> I think it is too easy to just make it about the environment.

> Something cultural got lost when they transitioned away from their nomadic lifestyle.

As with many problems, the cause is likely mosaic.

I can tell you anecdotally that I would surely devolve into substance abuse and suicide were I to live in an Alaskan / Canadian environment like that. Just working from home on a permanent basis was enough to send me out to the bar on a daily basis. Similarly, when I spent time unemployed my only solace was substance. I cannot imagine being stuck in such an environment, little contact and little to do.

Some people just can't handle a certain lifestyle.

One wonders were we to leave the natives to their nomadic lifestyle if we wouldn't be seeing criticisms for any inevitable fallout and suffering that lifestyle might bring to members of the population.
> And I'm like "tea flavor."

Even if you are a "flavored tea or herbal teas are not tea"-snob, that does not tell me whether you want black tea or green tea.
This came up in a group discussion of parapsychologists that I hang out with form time to time. Some of the top people in the world. I expect you could find it covered in the Journal of Parapsychology as a place to start looking.

There are many people doing experiments with independent replication. Both experiments that succeed and fail. We learn from both. Sadly people would rather dismiss such things as impossible dogma rather than learn new things on the leading edge of science.

> Just a single rotation of one of the turbines can power the average home for an entire day

That is incredible!
That's exactly what I said, though? We allow adults to imbibe in weed (in some places) and alcohol (in most places). The decision to partake in these things doesn't happen when you're an adult. The choice is often informed by a combination of their peers, their parents, and their education at a much earlier age.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough; I don't think children should be able to use vape products just as I don't think they should be drinking or smoking. I do think that they should be allowed to make that choice when they're an adult.
How would this be bad form? If this is from a "major university" like you claimed, and if Marxism is bad, isn't it good to tell us this university so we aren't blindsided by it when we enroll our kids in it?

It's not like you'd be posting forbidden knowledge; most universities publish their required curriculum.
That complaint (https://insight.rpxcorp.com/litigation_documents/13472237) is wild. Paragraph 19 states:

> The Product practices transmitting, via a wireless transmitter and to a second image capturing device, the filtered plurality of photographic images. For example, the Product offers a number of ways to wirelessly share photos online such as through social media.

It then specifically calls out a screenshot of http://yorba.org/shotwell/help/ with scary red lines highlighting how you can "export photos" and "publish to the Web" and "send photos via email, instant messaging, or in other ways."

...which just use whatever network interface the system has. And sure, that could be wireless... but it's not like Shotwell has any say (or necessarily any knowledge) of that, right?

How does patent law deal with that, where the wholly circumstantial and independent properties of a product's operating environment could result in a system with emergent properties that violate the patent, and which are wholly outside of the control of the original software?

E.g., if I'm using Shotwell on a home computer plugged into an Ethernet cable, but there's a radio link somewhere on the route between me and Facebook... would that instance of Shotwell suddenly be in violation of the patent?
That sounds like a bacterial nightmare for a product that's going to sit in a mostly airtight container for months.

Comcast operates a CDN, launched in 2014. [0] [1]

After some googling, it's very unclear how popular their CDN service is. Based on some of their marketing, seems like it might be focussed more on the video delivery side, which would also make sense given that it's Comcast. (If it indeed is an enterprise video delivery service, they may only have a handful of very large customers)

If this is accurate, it seems like Comcast also controls the data end-to-end (being both an ISP and CDN).

Well, it's pretty much a situation of war. And an unconventional war against terrorists.

(Also, not unprecedented - the Russians have been doing something very similar in a few high-profile UK cases...)

Of course, the main issue is that those "surgical" drone strikes still seem to have backfired strategically -

I wonder what is the state of these "who are we going to kill today" reunions under Trump ?

And of course in the background there's the whole Middle Eastern situation where the USA (and previously the British Empire) have only been making things worse for a century or so... but the control over those oil fields is just too important for them to let go !

His question is not relevant to my statement, though, so I answered it to the best of my ability without changing subjects: even if Cloudflare is the best available option, that does not mean I can have "peace of mind" about using it.

I think examiners (and non-technical folks who don't think much about it) get fooled by "pseudo-novelty". Progress moves fast in the technology field, especially with computing. Every year things that were impossible last year become possible through simple incremental improvements. If you're not paying attention the new uses might actually seem novel rather than just the obvious applications of the better machine.

Edit: Not sure why that's controversial... Some time around 2009 I finally got my parents hooked up with cable internet vs the DSL they had before and wowed them by playing a movie over the internet from my home media server. I didn't invent "a method and process for transmitting a full length movie over a network without quality degradation", but my mom sure thought so. I did some "computer work" and a "novel" new ability emerged.

Edit: Changed whats in () to something less offensive.

Great that it's finally launched. I've been on the waitlist for months.

That said, I'm very ambivalent about Cloudflare.

On the one hand, I love them because they're doing a lot of cool stuff (shoutout to kentonv whose sandstorm project I loved, who works there now), and even own a bit of their stock.

On the other hand, them being an infrastructure company but also wading into what travels over their pipes makes me uncomfortable. I get that 8chan was horrible (and Stormfront before that, IIRC), but it shows more discretion than I'd like that that level of the stack. They seemed to be more hands-off in the past, so I wonder if the IPO changed that at all.

A policy question: forbidding 8chan as a Cloudflare customer is one thing, but what if someone was using Warp and tried to load wherever it is they moved to? Would Warp block that?

Eh, I used to think the same thing about coffee, but here I am with a grinder and a plunger. Instant coffee is okay at a push, but the taste improvement is massive, especially when grinding your own coffee (you can actually taste the flavours they claim to put in there).

As for tea flavours, the difference is usually just the addition of herbs and spices.
> This is of course Amazon’s model, which underpriced competitors in retail and eventually came to control the whole market.

Amazon's model is to be better at ecommerce and logistics than everyone else, including Walmart, which itself gained market share through incredible skill at logistics. They reinvest what would be profits into getting better, and frequently succeed at it.

Most companies don't actually do that once they're mature.
You are likely to find the highest suicide rates in less-populated areas because the average of fewer numbers tends to have a greater variance than the average of more numbers. The suicide rate could be the same everywhere and you would still be guaranteed to find the most suicides in rural counties.

I don’t necessarily disagree that it _matters_, but why does it matter, and how much? Why can’t you believe that you’re having to defend the point? What bearing does who someone is have on the actual _substance_ of an argument?

Personally I think that who someone is is absolutely useful information because it can contextualize the intent of an argument and provide a hint as to the biases of the person making the argument, which is a useful tool for thinking critically about the argument. However, when weighing the merit of the argument, it doesn’t matter who is making the argument.

That’s why I took issue - you said that the reason the italicized portion was needed was because without it you sound a lot like a conservative. That’s weighing the merit of the argument based on what kind of person makes it rather than the substance of the argument itself.

You sound really smart in your other comments usually, but this comment is dumb and dumber. Who cares what tea people drink? Why did you have to get so mean about tea? Are you having a bad day? Seriously, life is too short to get angry over some fancy teas.
I mean... to be fair, when you read a missionary story, you're reading the missionary's own account of how things went down. Not saying it's always this bad, but you're unlikely to see a lot of self-criticism if you don't have the account from the other side of those interactions.

I'm not really sure about Alaska in particular, but the Catholic Church for example was definitely complicit in the attempted cultural genocide undertaking by the Canadian government against indigenous peoples (and resists issuing a formal apology for that role, even to this day: https://globalnews.ca/news/4110276/canada-residential-school...).

Would it be feasible for someone to form a non-profit organization who's only goal is to find prior art for patent applications and kill them before they become one?

there's no particular reason to believe why Uber should 1. survive the years (more likely decades) until autonomous driving is actually ready and more importantly, why Uber would be in a great position to capitalise on this, given that they don't actually own any cars.

Any large car manufacturer would be perfectly well positioned to partner up with an app startup to deliver autonomous sharing services themselves, given that they already have control over the distribution of the vehicles. Or one might even imagine that blockchain technology eventually lives up to its hype and some distributed solution makes the need for an intermediary unnecessary altogether.

Writers: Stop Multitasking Today
I’ve followed a vegan diet for 6 weeks now, and it’s really obvious why I’m losing weight: because I’m no longer eating all the junk that is on offer everywhere - cakes, biscuits, chocolates... I would previously have eaten these things mindlessly, but now I have a simple rule that cuts them out.

To reinforce the overeating-junk-food theory, my weight loss has slowed as I have discovered alternative vegan treats and snacks.
I agree that's his implication, I was hoping for him to expand on that thought.
So would you say it's the low carbiness of the diet, or the high variety of healthy thinginess of the diet that led the weight loss/ whatever?

Perhaps your current diet + healthy carbs would still help you achieve your goals?
I would donate to an effort to kill this patent as well.

We have to start getting more aggressive in these scenarios. If the patent isn't killed, they're just going to turn around and sue someone else with it. So if we want a world where small players can compete with the likes of Microsoft or Facebook, we need to retaliate against trolls who go after small players.
My Bangladeshi mom uses Lipton tea bags and a bit of milk.

I hope that wasn't an appeal to some kind of authority. All that tells me is that some Bangladeshi women have even worst taste in tea than this ignorant American. There's quite a wide gulf between not wanting to consume the least common denominator and making a lifestyle out of it. As for flavors, just because one's view says tea should only come in one flavor doesn't mean reality has to agree.
