I am an intellectual property specialist with more than 10 years of experience in IP management, protection, strategy, and analysis. I am a licensed US patent attorney. I have been an Assistant Chief IP Counsel of a technology/manufacturing firm. I have worked as a patent lawyer for an international, Fortune 100 technology/manufacturing corporation. I have been a lawyer at one of the world’s premiere IP law firms. I was a US patent examiner. I have extensive IP experience in the US, Europe, and Asia.

I am looking for a job as an IP/business manager or strategist. I would consider jobs as a legal officer or corporate counsel, if the fit was good.

My technology strengths are primarily in pharm, med device, immunology, bio, and chem, food, and ag, though I have worked so many different areas it would be difficult to list all of my competencies here.

I am qualified to be responsible for a division of a large corp, the IP department of a medium sized firm, and the entire legal dept of a small to moderate sized firm. My long-term goal is to become CEO of a small or medium sized firm.

My preference is Germany and currently will only consider Europe. My English is native, and my German is good.

Location: Germany (visa assistance req), Sweden (no visa assistance needed), will consider elsewhere in EU (with visa assistance)

Show HN: Ward – Minimalistic Server Dashboard
Ward is a simple and and minimalistic server monitoring tool. Ward supports adaptive design system. Also it supports dark theme. It shows only principal information and can be used, if you want to see nice looking dashboard instead looking on bunch of numbers and graphs. Ward works nice on all popular operating systems.

I'ts not like we couldn't have predicted this disaster.

One more reason to never trust a companies "word". Show me the code.
Like OP I also have a t420s. It always had overheating issues. A few months after purchase, back in 2012, I even sent if for warranty repair because it routinely got "too hot to touch" and the fan kept going at insane speeds and the CPU throttling. My version only has an integrated GPU (Intel HD3000). When it came back from warranty I guess they replaced the thermal paste and installed some better Fan driver or something. The laptop still overheats on heavy loads occasionally but I have used it ever since (I can only spend on a new laptop every 10 years max).

This year (2020) I completely dissembled it and replaced the thermal paste with new good quality one. It still overheats and throttles.

Back then (2012) I chose this laptop mostly going on ThinkPad reputation for easy upgradeability/ repairability. Boy did I get unlucky... what a bad choice. It's the hardest laptop to disassemble I have ever had the displeasure to work on. To get to the fan assembly you literally have to remove every other component.

In retrospect the reason for this is obvious. The t420s was supposed to be a slim version of the t420 (which by then was already considered thick as a tank). I guess in a away the t420s was Lenovo's first attempt at a proper slim portable laptop. Unfortunately for me the result was a slim, hard to disassemble, short battery life, overheating mess...

You don't need any of that. A dedicated device could transfer data between a hard drive or two and a single tape drive. You'd have a few of these on a shelf somewhere, doing a couple jobs per day. Easy to use, easy to schedule.
I had a very similar experience. 3+ cups per day minimum for over a decade, phased out over two weeks with no withdrawal at all. Didn't drink coffee for the better part of a year looking for a benefit.

Also noted no improvement with my psoriasis, no increased alertness, sleep felt the same, and actually gained weight over that time period.

I'm happily enjoying coffee daily again.
I wish sci-hub had a "donate paper" button. I've published things that are open access but the published obsfucate or make hard to find yet get SEO'd to the top of the rankings. I'd love to just upload a pdf, say, of a book chapter.
Funny you mentioned matrix.com; back between Matrix 1 and Matrix Reloaded I knew someone who knew the guy who owned thematrix.com and apparently was not offered enough to sell it. I guess they must have agreed at some point because I also recall that the matrix.com at around the time of Reloaded then started to redirect to the canonical Matrix site (which it sort of does now). Wonder what the price turned out to be.
> I don't necessarily disagree with the conclusion, in fact I think it's in a way kinda obvious (there should be an effect, however small it is)

Agreed.

> but the paper's analysis adds nothing to support it.

I don't quite agree with this. The paper demonstrates that more realized access is related to more citations. I think you can make a solid argument that more potential access is related to more realized access. That connection is enough to count the analysis as "supporting" the conclusion ("more potential access ~ more citations") at a level which is greater than zero. Support isn't proof.

>I was also in a "consensus-based" meeting with a couple dozen people. It was dominated by one person who just kept insisting on getting their way, until everybody else got tired and "agreed."

I heard somewhere about a variant that would be interesting to try: everyone specifies a favorite option and a consensus option. If the consensus option eventually attains a supermajority, it wins, otherwise you choose a member at random and his/her favorite option wins.

Because random is fair but usually bad, there's an incentive to reach a consensus. Anyone who blocks the discussion is gambling with the risk of getting a bad favorite option.

You could probably fix the most egregious risks by say choosing at random from the options that a supermajority don't object to. (E.g. choose an option at random, if a supermajority has marked "definitely not this", then loop to the beginning and pick another one at random.)

Pick up full-stack web development after a break: advice needed
VCs are not the only game in town, so don't let their needs limit your imagination!

It's important to understand that while tech-obsessed founders, like most of the people found in Hacker News, usually think of tech-startups and VC being almost synonymous with entrepreneurship, that's not at all true.

Lots of people all around the world consider themselves (and are!) entrepreneurs, without necessarily building innovative tech or seeking VC-like growth prospects.

E.g. the corner restaurant you ate at last week? Opened by an entrepreneur. That barbershop that cut your hair? Same. Even much bigger ideas fit in this category - the software that runs the local gym? Possibly a VC-backed startup, but also possibly just a relatively small company focused on a small market, not aiming for sky-high valuations but quietly churning out millions in income.

These kinds of businesses have existed for long before VCs, and it's entirely possible to get funding for them the "traditional" way, e.g. raising a friends-and-family round, getting money from a bank, self-financing, charging customers from day one, etc.
How about GUI? Does JavaFX rely on dynamic classloading? (I presume so, given its XML-driven approach.) If so, would it be possible to refactor it away? Or perhaps introduce a preprocessing phase of some sort?
Do you really think I don't understand what rent means? I pay rent every month, I better go figure out what it is I'm actually paying...

I'm not proposing we do away with rent as a concept. In the current situation, when you pay rent, you're really paying two rents combined.

The first rent corresponds to renting the land the building is on. This rent is why an equivalent apartment has a higher rent in SF than it does in Detroit or Houston.

The second rent corresponds to renting the building/unit itself. This rent is why a 2 bedroom apartment has a higher rent than a 1 bedroom apartment.

Now, the first rent is entirely uncorrelated with the value the landlord provides. It is essentially paid due to the landlord owning a monopoly on scarce good, which is only valuable due the community and government putting the effort to make the area valuable. Someone who owns land in downtown NYC didn't make it valuable, it became valuable because the government built the infrastructure to make the city livable, and the other residents made the city into a place where people want to live. Therefore, it's only fair that this rent goes to the commons rather than the landowner, where it can then be used to fund the government, rather than through other taxes.

What I propose is a land value tax equal to this land rent, so it is returned to the commons. The owner is still free to keep the rent from the building. This ideology is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism, and is pretty well supported from both an economic and fairness perspective.
Doesn't surprise me at all and it was painted on the wall pretty clearly in my opinion. It is of course a sad state of affairs. I think it shouldn't need to be mentioned but apparently it does.
No, it is the response of someone who was once upon a time CEO of a startup that fortunately did not operate in the present day news cycle where reputations can be destroyed in a couple of hours. DDG is precious, saying things that are very much against what I know to be the founding principles of the company is something that should only be done by those that have been given the proper authority. The response here is candid but ultimately not the one that DDG would and should give. Gabriels' contribution upthread pretty much confirms that. My comment was simply to ensure things would not get worse than they already were until someone in a position of authority at DDG could step in.

All you have to do is to read this comment thread to see the kind of damage that a single statement by someone affiliated with the company can do.

The Janus Cosmological Model: A Solution to Dark Matter
In bigger picture, this is a natural move from quantity to quality. The free content on internet feel like eating garbage. I follow a few really good newsletters (e.g Craig Mod's) and every episode feels like a chapter in a good book.

What I don't enjoy about newsletters is the e-mail clients themselves. They're bulky, filled with features I never use. I wish there was a way to hook my newsletters subscriptions up with Kindle. I can customize the fonts, sizes, spacing for my best reading experience, and the writer can forget about styling and just can focus on the writing.

Which makes me fantasize myself creating a subscription based reading platform with its own device :)

This response validates my trust in DDG as has happened so many times before. Seriously cool company you've built here.
It's not immediately obvious whether it is more privacy preserving if the client automatically makes a request to each site in the search results while scrolling through the results, especially since you're already trusting DDG when performing the search.

Maybe this should be an opt-in rather than an opt-out feature?

Edit: as pointed out by warpspin in another comment, this is about the DDG Browser, not search results.
Thank you for explaining this all far more eloquently than I ever could. DDG is precious and worth preserving, it wouldn't take much for the press to have a field day with a couple of careless comments. And no, I don't have a stake in DDG other than as a user.

> In a nutshell: EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) is the main reason why cables got smart in the first place.

Considering the main use case (almost exclusive use case) for lightning is for charging and nothing else, I wonder why they have to be so complicated? Shouldn't charging cables work with Vcc/Gnd only wired and a dumb power 5V/2A source? Why is my phone doing some complex detection/negotiation of cables/chargers when I plug it in? Why is a charger considered an "acceessory"?
> Many advertised features have been present in D for a long time.

They have also been in Nim for a very long time. The initial Nim version was released in 2008, and is comparable to D2 (started 2007) rather than D1 (started 2001). So they are effectively contemporary, and gained a lot of the features at comparable times (and with some cross pollination, I'm sure, although I wasn't there to witness it).

> Syntax wise Nim it is a step back. It's hard to read and understand while any C/C++ dev will have next to no effort reading through D code.

There is no accounting for taste, but Nim syntax is Pythonic; Python is generally regarded as one of the easiest (if not THE easiest) real programming languages to pick up. Both D and Nim get hairy when you use advanced metaprogramming features, but at the surface level -- Nim is likely to be easier to pick up except if your audience is exclusively C/C++ programmers (and maybe even then).

> I seriously doubt that Nim or any other language in this regard has better metaprogramming than D.

You should learn some Lisp then, the mother of all metaprogramming systems :) and also, you should look at Nim, it's not quite Lisp but it goes as far as (and perhaps farther than) Lisp-without-reader-macros. This example[0] embeds a compile time type-checked syntax-checked SQL dialect into Nim.

> Nim might have a speed overhead in certain tasks but that depends on a benchmark. Besides, does Nim have anything similar to NumPy which is actually faster? D does.

Yes, Nim has ArrayMancer (by mratsim, who wrote this raytracer as well) which is considerably faster than Numpy and also natively supports CUDA and OpenCL, IIRC, even though it's still younger so it's not as complete as Numpy. But Nim also has Nimpy which lets you mix Python and Nim with the least friction (and generates one executable that works, and works equally well and quickly, with whatever Python you happen to use at runtime - Py27, Py36, Py37, Py38 - not familiar with anything else that does). There was also NimBorg which provided similar mixing with Lua, but it seems to be abandoned now for lack of interest.

> And of course while D is C ABI compliant it interoperates with C++ well too.

Nim is source level as well as ABI level compliant with C, C++ and Objective C (you can use C++ exceptions and objects natively, no need for an "extern C" wrapper; same with Objective C). And also natively compatible with Javascript (though obviously not in the same compilation unit ...) . D is under appreciated, for sure, but Nim is definitely not lesser, and it's about as old.

I like this. I'll offer a third approach, but yours might be better: remind the person that there are plenty of moments in normal life in which no-one is doing anything wrong, but for which privacy remains paramount. This doesn't take much imagination.

It doesn't speak to Internet surveillance directly, but it's enough to show that there's more to privacy than the desire to conceal wrongdoing.

Edit Also, there's a great 2007 paper on this kind of thing, 'I've Got Nothing to Hide' and Other Misunderstandings of Privacy:

You're both right, there is an incredible amount of licensing options that are insanely complex.

That's more of a problem to use Windows authentication capabilities for external public users. Usually it's used internally for employees, for whom the company has appropriate licenses and computers and stuff.

> Google don’t sell privacy.

Of course they do. They sell users' privacy for advertising dollars.

I am not defending DDG here, as they are clearly in the wrong - but let's not pretend that their error is even close to what Google does.
I've already posted this somewhere else, but I'll copy it here again as well:

It's not immediately obvious whether it is more privacy preserving if the client automatically makes a request to each site in the search results while scrolling through the results, especially since you're already trusting DDG when performing the search.

Maybe this should be an opt-in rather than an opt-out feature?

All in all its really not as big of an issue as people here make it out to be.
By now it has been sufficiently proven that it is physically impossible to even exist without sending surveillance data to someone on the internet. We should probably update the laws of thermodynamics to include that.

The idea is that we charge a land value tax (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax) equal to market rent value of the land. So you're free to own the land if you pay the tax.

This tax would obviously be higher in desirable areas, so there would still be a price mechanism to ensure that the land is allocated effectively. If I bought a parcel of land in North Beach, but then didn't use it productively, I probably wouldn't be able to pay the tax and I would have to get rid of it. Additionally, since the market value of land reflects its most productive use, it would incentivize using the land in the efficient use (ie. densely in a high value area, since that lets you split the tax over more people).
> Syntax wise Nim it is a step back. It's hard to read and understand

This reads like satire to me. You shouldn't claim your feelings as objective truth.
The article does call Maynard's approach "completely independent". So while Maynard himself might not want to make any such claim, clearly the impression left with the interviewer is that he would indeed have got there without Zhang.
No it's not, like at all. For nearly every topic I can think of in SW dev, where I usually have a pretty good idea what I'm after, I'm hitting hundreds of naive content-farm clickbait articles when I used to find posts by experts in their blogs, in forums or mailing lists not even ten years ago. At first I blamed Google for sending me to the sites with the most AdWords and Doubleclick ads on them, but with DuckDuckGo consistently giving me just the same results, I believe the problem is rather with the incentives for producing content (or lack thereof), with Google and Facebook having extracted all value out of what used to be "the web". It's not going to improve with ad prices going down the toilet, and Google increasing their efforts of monopolizing every single point of contact as they're struggling to grow. Today if I'm "researching" (not in an academic sense) a topic, I go straight to StackExchange sites, and sites like HN. Life's too short to care about the world of copycat shite that Google indexes; people may find that "searching 456678743 sites in 0.03s" is not, in fact, very useful on the extant web.

Sounds like the chicken and the egg. Game makers use in-game micro transactions because people just steal the game/ don't want to pay for a game, and you say you steal the game because they use micro transactions. More likely, studios produces shitty games because people still support them and it's an easy model, and people steal games because they don't want to pay for stuff.

Better solution is to support indie devs that produce good games and stop supporting/stealing/playing the shitty studio games.
