You need to be registered with the national patent and trademark office in one of six participating countries. These databases are financed and maintained almost entirely by the brand owners. You as a brand owner need to do your own research to make sure that your logo is original, then you pay to be entered into the database, then you need to continuously audit any new entries into these databases to make sure that they don't infringe on your existing trademark.

So you provide the CA with an trademark ID number that they can look up and they verify that you represent the company that owns the trademark. It's like 10 minutes on top of the existing EV process, but it's more than double the price.

The bubonic plague killed around a third of Europe (1) and upended the social order for generations (2).

Up to 90% of Native Americans died from smallpox and other imported diseases (3) and it's clear that their societies were in fact overcome.

They died a lot. To handwave "learn to live with" is naïve and facile. A virus can't care if we lose a double-digit percentage of population, but we're not choosing that course.

Don't mistake a disaster remembered 500 years later for "eh. it worked out ok" Don't confuse mass death with "learn to live with".

Just finished listening to this, thanks for the recommendation.

They spend some time interviewing Lars Ulrich of Metallica in the context of of the Napster lawsuit. He comes across in this interview as still upset at Napster for what they did, and he is at turns indignant and also emotionally wounded at the fact that they are perceived as the villains in the story. In particular he cannot seem to reconcile his belief that they, and I quote "are the most fan friendly band on this planet" with suing Napster for $100k per download in damages, a ludicrous and arrogant sum. I am not a Metallica fan and do not listen to their music (out of disinterest, not antifandom. Metal isn't my genre), but it is striking to me to see how 20 years on they still don't get it.
What do you need to "manage" about your sales and your customers? Is there something you can plausibly outsource or automate to save time and money? Or something you could do better with specialized software helping you? Are you overwhelmed by the quantity of prospects and customers, tasks, or data? As an "early stage startup", do you really prefer constraining software and more rigid processes to experimentation?
Anecdotally, the machines fail quite often in cabs.
I agree it would be nice to have more concrete numbers, but this in itself is a pretty shallow criticism of the bullshit jobs idea.

Part of Graeber's argument, too, is that many of us are employed doing useful jobs in service of others who have useless jobs. Think of all the office staff, product designers, marketers, janitors, factory workers hired by Juicero, for instance. They all had meaningful jobs in service of a product that should never had existed.

I also don't think that Graeber's standard is unfair -- making a meaningful contribtion to the world is quite a low bar for something we spend our entire lives doing for 8hr/day.

Besides, a useless job may be done by an employee who is unable or unwilling to realize it -- "it is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it". It's really tough to find meaningful work that pays a living wage, so many of us try to find small amounts of meaning in the jobs that we have. It doesn't make our jobs any less useless, though.

Are you talking about the ARM arch vs Risc-V? That may be, but ARM is also getting SVE, and adding yet another #if for that is going to be expensive.

> Yeah, but other things can’t. For one, ARM has 8-byte SIMD vectors.

hm, Highway does support half vectors which map nicely to the non-q instructions. We also support 8-bit StoreInterleaved3 which is implemented similar to yours (more instructions but fewer constants): https://github.com/google/highway/blob/master/hwy/ops/x86_12...

In my experience, integer mul are the hardest to bridge, but at least for dot products even that is feasible.

Where’s the bottleneck?

Gas stations. The gas station industry has been avoiding upgrading pumps. It's expensive. Retail checkouts usually just need a replacement of the desktop unit, but gas pumps require actual modification. They got a 3-year delay, until October 2020. Then April 17, 2021. Then they got hit by the coronavirus epidemic.

The upgrade has to be done by a qualified installer; you don't want someone who doesn't know what each wire does mucking about with the electrical innards of a gasoline pump. There isn't a huge supply of trained gas pump upgraders. There are many pump variations, and some can't be upgraded at all. Gas pumps often don't have an Internet connection, just a 2-wire twisted pair running RS-422 or something. The chip card readers, inevitably, want full Internet connectivity. Which means getting CAT-5 out to the pump. Which sometimes runs into CAT-5 length limitations. The older systems sometimes worked over dial-up.
Average cost per pump is about $6,000.

Gilbarco/Veeder-Root has a product which is basically a pair of DSL modems to allow using the existing 2-wire connection to carry the Internet out to the pump.[1] Amusingly, they'll give you this for free if you buy their product for running ads on the pump.

And, of course, it's all "cloud-enabled".

And that's why there's such a holdup.

Not super important, but yesterday there were 8,646 new cases detected.
I was never on 8kun or any similar sites, but honestly, I have similar thoughts and doubts as the post you were responding to had.

I'm not saying we never go back to normal, but I have my doubts about when that happens, and I am afraid it will take much much longer than expected.

It was "flatten the curve, and stay at home for a month". It was more than a year ago.

Then, it was "only if we had vaccine, things could go back to normal". Then we had vaccines, so we were told to take the vaccine, and once we have a reasonable ratio of vaccinated people, things will get better. In developed countries, basically everyone who wanted, could get a vaccine by now.

In the news we already hear about the bad outcomes with vaccinations and the variants, and there is also already chatter regarding the third "refresh" dose.

The writing is on the wall. This thing will take a long while.
> Remote work has given me almost two more hours of life a day (that I'd otherwise spend commuting)

I get this sentiment, but I want to stress to people who feel this way that long commutes are not a problem with our work culture, they are a problem with our car culture.

Instead of retreating to our homes in the suburbs, people should be demanding more compact cities with expansive public transportation. Instead of losing our "second place", let's fight to get our "third place" back!

> The "leveling" the article speaks about has been tried: it's strong government on social-democratic principles. It works. And it gets abandoned as soon as general wealth has risen enough.

Is that really true? I don't see e.g. Scandinavia rushing to abandon all their social programs. The US took a big turn away from cooperation, but that seems to be much more about a breakdown of social trust relating to some specifics of US history (race relations, "stranger danger", ...) than some general principle about high general wealth societies.

In Europe (Scandinavia at least), Gas stations use contactless, and most gas/oil companies have a dedicated app (think loyalty card) that can also handle payment for you over the internet.

It uses GPS, so when you open the app at a gas station it already knows where you are, and simply asks you which pump you want to unlock.

Yup. 100ms may be working as "instantaneous" in isolation. If you start chaining interactions, it absolutely isn't.

Once per 100ms means 10 times per second. A game running at 10FPS would be considered unplayable, not just because of choppy rendering, but also because of input lag.
The comment you replied to had absolutely nothing to do with encryption or DRM.

C being low level means you're forced to do many tedious and complicated things manually. This makes the code you write prone to errors which (in the worst case) can be exploited by attackers to run arbitrary code on your system.

The most used app on my Android phone is an RSS reader. It has feeds including: Hacker News, the BBC, Reddit, The Register, Computer Weekly, Wired and a couple of retro computer Google groups. The latter stopped updating on 26th July, but everything else gives me all the news and info I want in a single place without having to install numerous dedicated apps or trawl through multiple Web sites - it's just a great app and service.

According to the Play store, the app I use has "100,000+ downloads" which hardly points to a dead ecosystem.

Stupid Google.

While I have you here, as a developer of a financial product myself and wanting to use something to let my users connect their bank accounts to my product via plaid, let me tell you sir that your pricing strategy sucks. There is no way for a developer to pay for plaid use on per user basis and your service cannot be used without having to pay like minimum $500 to you every month even if I have like 10 users. So basically your pricing is hostile towards startups.
You can also delete messages in Discord and much more.
Such nonsense, beyond just enforceability, it is also silly&lazy™ beaucracy. This clause exists because admins don't want IP to be abused/leaked, but they don't want the headache of actually determining what work would break contract and what work is completely unrelated.

Personal anacdote: this clause was used against me by school admins to prevent me from taking my research work with me to another university. I wrote a _nice_ letter to the legal department, pointing out to them thier cost of trying to enforce this, while also having little evidence to show my work is monetarily valuable. After a phone call with one of the lawyers, the IP was released to me. School admins were not informed; seeing the shock in their faces when I told them was priceless.
It's a security risk even if you don't use it. Someone just seeing your card briefly could copy it as the stripe has the same info that's printed on it.

> once we have a reasonable ratio of vaccinated people, things will get better. In developed countries, basically everyone who wanted, could get a vaccine by now.

A lot of the problem is that "reasonable ratio" and "everyone who wanted" are not the same number. The number I think of for reasonable ratio is 4 out of 5. Vaccination stalled well before that.
With regard to the Delta variant, certainly. But it surely has played a role in the subsequent known variants that have appeared as recently as the Olympics.

All of which contribute to our lack of herd immunity, or am I incorrect?

Does this mean that we can finally have smaller credit cards, if they only need to be big enough to hold the chip? (Assuming payment slots can somehow handle multiple card sizes, eventually...)
there is ;)
I think that is a very self defeating attitude by someone who didn't even bother to try and improve their situation.

You don't have to be the sad lonely remote worker if that bothers you so much. Remote work has definitely HUGE advantages allowing people to find a much healthier work life balance and has undeniably a net positive effect in comparison to what we had before, but I agree, 100% remote and never stepping out of your house again and meeting other people is NOT healthy at all. Good news is, nobody forces you to live like this though. I have signed up for a co-working space where I live. WeWork offices are littered around the world. It costs only $199 or something like this to get a flexi hot desk where you can go to any WeWork in your country. I go into a co-working space at least once or twice a week. I sit next to other people who also work and we chat, socialise, we still play ping pong during our breaks and we stroll out to a pub afterwards. Most co-working spaces even organise weekly/monthly social events which makes it even easier to connect with other people.

If you feel isolated because of remote work, then it's not because of remote work, it's because of your own choice to not help yourself. It's like a child crying that their trousers are wet after repeatedly pissing themselves instead of going to the bathroom.

I think talking about android games is moving the goalposts a bit. There's no market for Android games on windows either.

On my end, and my Year of Linux Desktop started almost a decade ago, the Linux experience has not only never been better (of course) but has improved faster in recent years than ever before, and gaming is one of the fastest improving areas.

There are a ton of people in the Northeast waiting for the courts to review why NY and MA are entitled to income tax from them even though they have not stepped foot in either state in 18 months.

The question is do you have enough time and money to fight it long enough in court while CA/NY/MA can lean on the employers and national banks to simply withhold the funds.

Edit: I missed this update, but apparently the SC told NH they cannot sue MA, so as far as I now, NY and MA have been cleared to continue collecting income tax from people not working in their states.

I think I need to point out, it isn't your customer. Apple have been very explicit in all of their public communication and in court. They are Apple's customers. Apple's customer are trusting Apple and App Store to use your App. And Apple is sharing 70% of revenue to you and they only keep 30%.

While I have lots of things I disagree with DHH, his point on App Store were spot on. It wasn't just about the commission, It was the company Basecamp has no relationship with its customers signing up via iOS. It only has it with Apple. And that is not how a business should work.
It wouldn't be hard to make an Electron clone of this. The only real selling point I see is the privacy aspect?
Slightly off topic, but it’s a shame Spotify’s web API doesn’t support (and they’ve said never will support [1]) playlist folders. I get that it’s a bit of a power user feature but it’s an essential one for me in any media player.

Makes me worry they’ll remove the feature from their app one day (they allude to it being a bit of a mess in the database) which would be the push I’d need to move away to either another service or a local collection only…

I've always suspected they don't, but the cab driver says it's not working so you pay cash that they don't to declare as income in order to minimize their tax liability. I have no real basis for this suspicion though, besides knowing that taxi drivers were notorious for tax dodging before card readers were common (like most cash-based businesses really).
It's a good idea. I think the problem with being presented the whole page is that we fool ourselves into thinking we know something. I.e recognition feels like remembering.
