There is no need to hold a trademark to do business.

If you start doing business is a country using a name it (usually - depending on local laws) provides some protection against others registering that trademark in that name (as a non-registered trademark).

You need documentary evidence you were using it in that country before the trademark was attempted.

You can then spend the money to register a trademark at some future time.

But talk to a (good, IP specialist) lawyer! Even $5-$10K on lawyer fees is cheap compared to registering international trademarks in multiple categories.
I'm by far not well versed enough i n legal matters to give a conclusive answer on this, but as I understand it, the trademark thing mostly becomes an issue when you want to advertise locally and especially for enterprise SaaS where you pretty much need a sales team on the ground and maybe even a local business entity for the other party to sign with.

I don't think that it is very likely that a country will try to block its citizens from subscribing on some website. At least I have never heard it being done over trademark issues.
Thanks for coming back to share your perspectives.

While I agree that AB5 stifles freedom and innovation, it just doesn't compute for me that a wealth tax (especially the example of 1% over 50mm) would damage the spirit of freewheeling invention, creation, and capitalism.

As an entrepreneur, I feel much more stifled by FAANGs or regulation than the idea I might be taxed at less than my real rate of return one day.

I agree the spirit of the valley is on the decline, and part of that is due to things like AB5, but it feels more like the tech giants are just new giants, like those of the 70s, and will trend towards preservation of establishment and gradual decline as always.

A wealth tax just seems orthogonal to all that.
They aren't regular markdown files, they wont' be supportd any time soon by other markdown editors (i.e. there is currently no compatible ios markdown editor for it). They are regular text files though.
Absolutely, even for large companies it's standard to have security regularly look for suspicious items.
Instead of direct monetization, they probably measure by engagement. If a service has a permanent presence on your device, you get a LOT more engagement and recurring visits than a web version. Websites on mobile are one-time, visit-and-forget/move on things.

I'd love to be proven wrong though; what websites see daily, recurring, long time active usage?

Also not to be underestimated is that a mobile app will always have better UX than a website. Think of the subtle things like page transitions. Navigating Reddit still causes full-page reloads, whereas on the app it's a much more organic process. Speed is also an important factor.
Or it just requires a code to enter.

Large holds only just over 1 cup of water? This seems tiny.
We've had our trademark squatted in China. We didn't bother to register it, and now it's a problem if China becomes a big market for the SaaS I work for. There's 'Madrid System' that covers EU and other countries, but yeah, it's a good idea to have your TM registered in your key markets.

>similar to how we recognized as a society that workplace safety laws were not something private businesses were ever going to compete on,

Democratic-ish societies get laws AFTER society is mostly in agreement on something. We got workplace safety laws because most workplaces had already started to care and the point of the laws were to force low margin industries and other hold-outs to get on board.

I mostly agree with the rest of your comment but your order of operations is simply backwards.
Reddit has been very aggressive over the past few years to increase retention.

They're barely a link aggregator anymore, they try to self-host as much content
as possible. Images, videos, they even attempted to make user-pages à la
Facebook (no idea if this caught on). They're competing with Facebook and
Instagram, not Hacker News.

On paper that's not necessarily bad, but they don't hesitate to make the user
experience worse to achieve this. If you want to link a video hosted on reddit,
there's no straightforward way to only link the video and not the full reddit
thread. Here's a random example from the frontpage:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Whatcouldgowrong/comments/ici161/wc...

No way to share just the video, you have to share the garbage comments as well.
Of course many video sharing sites are the same, but Reddit was supposed to be a
link aggregator at first, not Youtube-but-worse. They've added a photo gallery
feature lately with the same limitation: you can't just link the gallery, you
have to link the full comment page. I suspect that they did that specifically
because they couldn't really prevent people to share the URL to the image
directly since that's a standard feature of the web, so by adding galleries they
can "lock in" the content. At least they don't do referrer checks, I suppose...
Well, not yet.

And yeah, as you point out, the mobile experience on a browser is atrocious.
Especially if like me you're only a lurker: if you're not logged in you can't
even browse a subreddit, it forces you to install the app (or alternatively,
you can go to i.reddit.com that still works and is much faster to boot).

Vanilla Reddit is effectively becoming less pleasant to use that those shady
streaming websites that change their domain names every month to evade copyright
enforcement. At least those website usually manage to stream SD video reliably.

Basically Reddit tries to become Instagram for people who think they're too cool
for Instagram, and it shows.
Advertisers buy from ad companies, ad companies rely on advertisers believing it works.

Advertisers don’t sell ads, they buy them.
There is no world wide trademark. There are also no world wide patents
An example, I'm unable to resolve so far:

ISO 26262 includes the requirement to prevent “implausible values, execution errors, division by zero, and errors in data flow and control flow” (8.4.4). I'm confident the division by zero aims at integer division because the result is undefined. For floating point, division-by-zero is perfectly fine and well defined by IEEE 754.

Nevertheless, our safety folks require us to enable the traps and shut down the device in case a floating division by zero occurs. This is stupid because a division by a very small number has the same effect as division by zero. However, since it is explicitly mentioned in ISO 26262 nobody has the balls to allow it officially.

I don't even want to estimate how many man-months have been burned to fix such "defects".
That's just the natural consequence of a free market. If it is cheaper and easier to hoax, people will do it. It also incentivizes cheaper recovery of archeological artifacts, saving money in the exfiltration process. Not good.
Most attackers aren't that smart. Rules like this prevent many from trying an attack as it's much harder to perform an attack if you have to take your baby with you. No one ever said the 100ml rule was good, it was just the best alternative they could come up with.
This is either never or very rarely the case in the developed world outside the US.

I guess so, the emergence of Playwright is therefore really interesting in general. It's two frameworks by arguably the same folks. Time will tell what will happen. Competition is never bad!
Ask HN: How do you keep internal shell scripts up to date for team?
Use an RSS reader. While HN doesn't force engagement through dark patterns and notifications. There are still things that create FOMO such as the fast pace of the front page. With a good rss reader, you can check back to read what you missed.

Check no proc option too.
The compact view is even cleaner. Try adding `.compact` at the end of any reddit url.
In the case of singularities in robotic systems the issue is actually physical (akin to actual gimbal lock in a gimbal with only 3 axes). In certain positions it's not possible to move the end-effector in certain directions, and near those positions you may need large movements of the whole system to make small movements in the end-effector (which can be especially violent if the robot attempts to pass near the singularity at a constant velocity).

The solution, kind of akin to what quternions do, is to have more degrees of freedom than you need (like a 4th ring on a gimbal), but this doesn't eliminate singularities, it just makes them possible to avoid for most of the range of motion (extreme limits may still contain them). Actually coming up with a reasonable solution which avoids them is still not solved in general (though it's solved well enough for practical purposes in a lot of situations).

These singularities exist in humans as well, though we're quite well adapted to avoiding them in normal motions. If you've ever found yourself making an awkward movement (especially needing to readjust your grip to continue a motion), then it's likely you've encountered this without realising it.
Their website is fine, but no website works as nice on mobile as a native app does.

> how else can a machine in a datacenter put a GUI on an end user's screen today?

A lot of companies are doing it with Citrix. That's a framework which provides Windows users with what 99% of the Unix users asking for X network transparency are really asking for: the ability to run an app or optionally an entire desktop on the server and have it render locally, where it can be used and controlled. There are some optional file sharing things as well, and audio, etc.

I'm sure the network protocols underneath are appalling, but the product does what people want.
The UX made me quit reddit. I delt with it (with a screen reader) for a few months. Then, I submitted a PR on GitHub to improve the accessibility of the site (just a very small addition). Then my PR got ignored for a few months. So I commented that I will delete my PR since it is obviously not welcome. Then I got some comments asking me to not do so, because accessibility is supposedly important now. A few months later, still no action. So I deleted my reddit account, because there was really no point in continuing to hurt myself with their terrible UX.
I have dissociative identity disorder, as a result of severe pervasive trauma when I was young. I have several alter egos, each fully conscious and each of which are capable in their own unique ways. They are nearly always present in my mind, speaking to me or each other and we have internal experiences nearly as rich as external experiences.

We absolutely have alters that are simply more composed than the rest of us, and that come out in specific scenarios. Some of us have worked and held positions supporting technology others of us can't even understand! Then others of us are better with people and can work with them more efficiently.

It's not all fun and games with this though. It's a very extreme form of PTSD, and it can be very difficult to manage, though in a way it's a blessing because we HAVE to be organized to work together. I wouldn't wish the flashbacks on anyone though, or the fact that most of us are still mentally teenagers even though we're physically nearly 30, which presents real and serious challenges to functioning as an adult.
Yeah, it's annoying. I've also seen them block entire subreddits for mobile. E.g. this is what I see on my Android phone when trying to read r/Europe: https://veqz.net/reddit_block_europe.jpg («This community is available in the app»).

My two go-to solutions are:
1. Use old.reddit.com/
2. Stop using reddit
Ads (you can't block them in app) and notifications (you can block them, but not that easy, especially on Android).
That is very unlikely. Also, there are many classes of trademarks.
Reddit as a social network has two goals:

- Make more money than last quarter

- Having more user engaged than last quarter

Having user engaged is much easier when you have the app installed, as they can send you push notification. As a result of that, the number of users on the mobile web version is probably very low, so they don't put a lot of effort on the product and would probably love to deprecate it.

They also probably don't make the effort to optimize the monetization of those users, as they are so few, so they push them to use the app.

And above all HN users are probably not the ones who click the most on ads, so they don't care if you use reddit or not as you will not bring them any revenue.

My professors would be so mad if I submitted data like this. I already can hear "What are the units? Seconds? So yours are by one second better? Error margin? Percent? So yours is worse?"

I get that this is a very specific information for a specific audience. People who stumble on this repo should know what is that.

However we can all be better at presenting our data.
There's a lot of subreddits now that advertise their own Discord server, omitting Reddit's own attempt at hosting a chat service.
Yet all of this could also be easily done with a PWA that could present with a much less intrusive "add to homescreen" bar.
That you are that specific about P2 very clearly tells me that Facebook actually does create shadow profiles. I believe you that P2 isn't the basis of such profiles.
Just realized that in a 2d puzzle you have only 4 corner pieces, but in a higher-dimensional (say, 20d) puzzle, almost all pieces would be corner pieces.
I thought it's about a knowledge base about e2e testing using playwright/puppeteer. The problem I wrote about is one that's solvable using those tools (I think and hope). It's a problem I'm trying to solve in my limited free time and I was hoping someone already have solved it, but if that's not the case and someone also finds it interesting, how should've I let people know there already is an open source playground for this, without posting the project.
We have an internal repo and Slack bot that notifies team when there’s update.

I am asking out of curiosity: is it possible & legal to set up a simple proxy server to redirect analytics data to the provider? So that the analytics traffic goes to the same domain - and is not blocked?
An (obvious?) iterative improvement on this solution is to just take the first two rows and mirror it for the bottom two, for a solution of 4x3=12 pieces.

-X--X--X-
-X--X--X-
-X--X--X-
-X--X--X-

The naive lower bound on a solution is N/5, based on the maximum covering a piece might have (of course, that's not tight, due to literal corner cases). Heuristically, we might expect an optimal solution to look like E[1/K]≈8.6, where K is defined as the number of neighbors a square has.

Attempting to manually reduce the overlaps, I came up with

-X--X--X-
---X-X---
X-------X
--X-X-X--

for 10.

(Of course, the puzzle may be underspecified, since if you also require that your skeleton forms a connected component, then neither of these solutions count.)

edit: And, one more manual tiling (10 again) which exhibits better periodicity:

--X---X--
X---X---X
--X---X--
X---X---X
While the UI is fine, I'm concerned about optimization and loading.

Is it really required to keep ALL previous scroll history in memory and on-screen?

If they only showed what you're currently scrolling, it wouldn't be the most battery sucking app on my phones.
Important point. For us, as a type 0 / type I civilization, accelerating a large asteroid strikes us as an absurdly energy-intensive operation. But then, moving a ton of cargo from Pennsylvania to California was an absurdly energy-intensive operation in the year 1800. 50 years later it was easy.

For a civilization that is approaching type II status or beyond, the energy required to accelerate an asteroid is likely trivial.

Strunk and White are authors. The "white" in the initial commit is not referring to "white" in the sense of the race. Its an authors name who wrote a book on English grammar.
> Using them, one could travel in less than a second between distant points in our galaxy. A second for the observer that goes through the wormhole. It would be tens of thousands of years for somebody looking from the outside.

Unless the energy requirements are lower, it sounds like this isn't much better than just traveling close to c (assuming you had adequate shielding).

Note: if you use reader view and are puzzled why an article entitled "This Vision Experiment Resolved a Centuries-Old Philosophical Debate" is about a display in New York's Central Park of 3D printed statues of women scientists, try disabling ad blocking.

On both Firefox on my Mac with uBlock Origin and Safari on my iPad with content blockers enabled it gets the right title in reader view but sometimes gets the body from the next article in their infinite scroll of articles. Whether it does this seems to come and go, which suggests it is actually caused by some ad that appears intermittently on the page.

(And on iPad, many people pretty much have to use reader view, because the page completely ignores the user's font size setting...stepping it from 100% to 300% causes no visible changes whatsoever on the page).
I read somewhere just the other day that the benefit (to the developer) of an app vs a mobile website is that apps can collect more data on the user than mobile websites in their sandboxed browsers can. I haven't looked into this to verify for myself and there are other reasons, like push notifications, but I'm inclined to believe it.
This is what I use. It's excellent to the point that when i'm sitting at my desktop I automatically use my phone to read Reddit rather than the web client.

This was crossposted to the todoist subreddit and and I already said this there:

The overhead that these systems need is my worst nightmare.

I tried obsidian, because I saw how people use notion, roam and obsidian ro manage tasks and as knowledge base... but I just can't imagine me doing this.

I programmed a Bot for todoist and at one point I developed a github > Todoist sync, to manage my work on the Bot... at on point it almost was comical how many additional tasks I ended up with, just to make it happen.

I tried obsidian and quickly tried to use Typoda for markdown, because even writing markdown comes with an overhead... additionally I always need to install 3rd party apps to even access my knowledge..

I'm still looking for the perfect system, but always to back to Todoist for tasks and a simple static file generator for my knowledge base(docsify).. I can edit and access it from everywhere and dont have much overhead.

What I also dont get is the lack of API of theses systems. Afaik notion still don't have one, and even roam doesn't.

For journaling and brainstorming, I build a Todoist function that creates and links a Dropbox Paper directly to the task in Todoist... this way I already have a task and it's out of sight when I'm done... and it only requires a browser.

I envy everyone who can use these apps though. It does seem to be a nice way of offload stuff of the brain.
Why isn't it easy on Android? If you long press on any notification it gives you the option to turn off all notifications from that app...
>with enough money and the right skills, these tools are exactly what would be used to mass manipulate social media.

I believe with enough money and the right skills it has always been possible to manipulate the media - social or otherwise.

The question is if puppeteer means we can decrease the amount of money significantly for a minor increase in the amount of skills.

I've found this type of circular reasoning is also somewhat common in with regards to laws. Doing X is wrong, because it is illegal, because it is wrong. (and other variants).
First, I love that this exists. I was playing around with exactly the same concept (text files w/structured front matter as a personal knowledge base) a few months ago, but didn’t get as far.

I think the Elasticsearch dependency is overkill, specifically because it precludes deployment on a corporately-managed computer where you can run Python but not Elasticsearch.

It would be great to have an option to use a pure python search tool like Woosh [0]. This would trade away some search power for significant portability gains. I might do a fork for this!

When the original Niagara Falls power station was in its planning stages, the planners were uncertain on how they would distribute power, and were considering using compressed air before they decided to generate electricity instead. Unfortunately, they specified turbines that operated at 250 RPM, making it impractical to directly produce 60 Hz AC, or 30 Hz for that matter, which would have made frequency converters relatively cheap. Instead, 25 Hz became a North American standard for industrial power, and a few legacy customers remained as late as 2006. [0]

Much of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, and SEPTA's rail network in the Philadelphia area, still use 25 Hz for traction power, provided from converters or from a few hydroelectric plants that have 25 Hz generators.
