As others have said, there are more cost effective options than just getting your attorney to do a patent search for you. There are definitely plenty of companies that will do it for you for far less. But the quality is... variable, to say the least.

As a point of shameless self-promotion, I'm the founder of a company seeking to improve the patent system, starting with prior art search [1][2]. We're not one of those companies that will do it for you for less. Instead, we empower you to do it yourself, then have your attorney go deeper if needed. The idea being that you don't need to be a patent expert or lawyer to do it; anyone with knowledge of their technical area can search effectively. Plus we've got some collaboration features so when you're ready to hand off to your $500/hr attorney, you can. And not just hand off -- collaborate.

If a patent troll is shaking you down, reach out to us and we'll do you a generous deal, no strings attached. We very much do not like patent trolls.

According to one of my lawyer friends, there is a subtle difference between US law and EU law regarding privacy:

In the US, if you don't protect it and you lose it, it is your fault.

In the EU, No one can lawfully take it away from you.
I'll grant you drivers pulling in front of you...

If you grant me that you're must less likely to have a vehicle beside you push you out of your lane if your bike is loud.
Many companies give you the option to go through the pip process or just take up a package so you can just get some time to find a job and leave. This oftentimes works better for both the employer and the employee. Does your company offer this and is it available to you at this stage? Leaving is the better option most of the time due to optics and first impressions - unless you’ve had some other major but temporary setback in life you can recover from.
Containers, and especially lambdas, have made the units of the cloud more and more granular. I don't think you'd have to think about concurrency any more than you already do
Yeah bad design choice to tie FOSS software to a particular cloud provider.
The second is actually a decent example of where the semantic web would probably fail because of the imprecision, but Google has succeeded to some degree. “When was grass invented” has no good answer because it’s a stupid question. You could interpret this as “when was grass discovered” but I suspect this is not the question being asked. Google has interpreted this as “when was the grass lawn invented”, which is probably what the user was actually asking. In both cases, the results are actually great (my first link was to the Wikipedia Lawn article).
We're going to disagree about the Iliad. It even has a good cop, bad cop scene in it in book 10, the Night Raid. Odysseus and Diomedes go on a night raid to get ... information. Was there ever a badder bad cop than Diomedes or a smoother talking good cop than Odysseus?

Hell to the fuck yeah, when you get to Plato, you have to want it. I still haven't made it through the Republic.

Plutarch Parallel Lives has a lot of really good biographies. Pick any. Hell, pick Life of Antony.

Herodotus is fun but junk. Thucydides is tough but meaty. Switching to the Romans, Tacitus Agricola is awesome.

Read Gorgias Encomium of Helen (short), I think he's the only Sophist we have, and you might think Plato was a little tough on him.
Awesome to see. Everything Michael creates is of the highest quality!
My understanding is it expends unbelievable quantities of resources pretending otherwise.
> It's just a more violent version of very common asian tv variety shows

No, it's a version of such shows that you cannot escape from because of financial pressures on your life, despite likely ending in your death. That is the key - even when given a chance to get out, the overwhelming majority of participants embraces the game, because the alternative (being economically destitute, while lying to friends and family to keep up appearances) is seen as worse than death. It's literally "get rich or die trying".

The final revelations, about the game's origins and the fate of previous winners, add further elements of critique of "the system"; and the story arc of the "good son" is a critique of a (Korean) academic process that, while ostensibly promoting talent, ends up producing sharks.
If nearly all of the female software developers married other software developers (which is my experience), it would work out to the numbers they show.
Indeed, webrings and 'blogrolls' were awesome - a great way to share the web.

Then google came in and started penalizing web sites for outbound links.

Then everyone stopped the blogrolls and the webrings disappeared - and people even got stingy with linking to a site in a blog post.

Sure, blame 'shady seo' or what have you - and yeah that became a thing, but the real blame is google. Pushing sites down google was such a scary thing that wordpress took the previously-in-core linkroll out in future updates - even if you have a blogroll with just friends - it was removed - many did not know - and if you did, you had to go install a plugin to bring the functionality back.

Of course the better options would of been to just auto-nofollow tag all the blogroll links - share the web and not to worry about a google penalty or being associated with 'spooky sounds "bad nieghborhood" in google's alog-eyes'

I'd love to see web rings brought back with auto-nofollow added - and a stats system that was open to all who installed / used it for webring X Y or Z - and blogrolls that are easy to nofollow.. better with hover preview / a note about why you love site Y or what have you.

It would be better for the web, but it's not easy to do currently and not a big benefit for the work right now.

Anyone remember when the search engines had a web ring to try the search at other engines at the bottom?
esp32-rs works fine on linux

I think more embedded devlopers should insist on only using linux tooling. Windows is a broken platform for software development. Programming an embedded device should be as simple as using GCC and a flashing tool.

Requiring some kind of insane windows IDE seems like such a 1990 way to develop software, imo.
No, this is totally irrelevant to anything in the article, except in the sense that both pertain to thermal energy and the earth. They have nothing else in common. The difference is not just a matter of sexiness; you can't run a factory, a computer, or a car off a ground-source heat pump, because heat pumps consume energy; they don't produce it.

In 1997 a classmate would write HTML on paper with a pencil during class. It slipped my memory until recently & now I like to imagine it worked out well for him.
That's interesting data. How easy would it be for you to compare it against the same for say other vaccines? I still think the Covid vaccines probably over-report compared to others, since its the only vaccine I ever got where I got notified about Vaers and told to report, but it be an interesting comparison and would give us a head start. We'd probably also need the count of people who received each vaccine to normalize the comparison.

Though to be fair, and again, I'm a random person online explaining my personal assessment, but in my assessment I also take into account that I assume that smarter people then me have already ran all these numbers, and maybe I'm naive to assume that, but I also don't have the time, know how and the access to all the data I'd need to do so myself.

In that case, I have to either trust institutions and academics of multiple countries who seem to mostly agree +/- a few difference, or I have to trust volunteer effort from generally amateurs on the internet mixed in with some legitimate trolls. And since in my field of expertise, I see often that the internet is filled with more crap than accurate information, I don't really trust the internet as much, especially the information that's easy to find.
I'm looking closely and not seeing the contradiction. I see a bunch of stuff about corona virus and super-spread events occurring when people aren't masked and show up even if they're sick. Which is exactly what I would expect.

You seem to be implying that any gathering has the exact same odds of being a super-spread event regardless of personal responsibility and precautions. That's not how this works...
Not caring about the ramifications is pretty much what the whistleblowers are being persecuted for though. They drew attention to classified materials for the public good, not to aid the enemies of the US government by leaking some specific tactical information that helps in battle.
That is also a private message.
Europeans tax themselves significantly higher on gasoline than Americans are willing to go for.
I don't think so. Supporters may think Bloom's conservative position stands 'above' insufferable woke politics or something like that. In fact the politics has already been brought, so to speak, and is now inescapable. Perhaps Bloom was not the first one to inject 'politics', but once the new ideas have been brought, rejecting them is reaction and political too.

And what is this definition of 'politics' anyway?
I'm saying classics != books that conservative culture warriors like. Don't take it personally.

Maybe I just missed it, but real estate agents totally run with other real estate agents. Couples, parents/ children - even friend groups. Once you are in the business it becomes your complete social group (as I sit on vacation with multiple other agents and an agent partner).
> Does anyone have a recommendation or a reading list in the classics (perhaps a Coursera or something) where I can self-study? I'm tech by trade and education but I would love to read the greats through the last several millennia in the western canon.

I'm "well educated" in the classics by most standards (I studied Latin for the better part of the decade, can spot recite poems and speeches, &c) and I think that reading "the greats" as a whole is a kind of category error: classical antiquity is a period of 1.5 millennia spread across the better part of Southern Europe and Northern Africa. Reading them as a uniform narrative is like trying to draw a line from the beginning of the Ottoman Empire to the California Gold Rush: the history is all there, but a thematic connection is tenuous.

If you want to read classics in general, I suggest picking a subject you like (plays, epics, poetry, military history) and expanding in circles. You can even pick a modern author as a guide; I can personally recommend both SPQR[1] and Introducing the Ancient Greeks[2] as excellent histories of their respective cultures.

The people you consider to be central authorities in Bitcoin can not and are not generally trusted to do the right thing. The biggest Bitcoin miner is Bitmain and they have repeatedly tried to subvert Bitcoin such as through the creation of Bitcoin Cash and attempting numerous times to pull off hard forks or oppose updates to Bitcoin.

The fact that those efforts have failed, despite them being the largest miner, is pretty strong evidence that Bitcoin is not under the control of any small group of people.

You can't run a factory, a computer, or a car off a ground-source heat pump, because heat pumps consume energy; they don't produce it. A seasonal thermal store like what you're talking about is only slightly less irrelevant, because while in theory it could be an energy source, the energy available is orders of magnitude too small.

I am not a professional and I have not met any of them, so I cannot diagnose them with complexes.

Actively trying to undermine US security is a misattributed intent. You can easily assume good intentions for Snowden and Assange, just like good intentions are assumed for Clinton.

This is not done because Clinton is a member of the Washington DC establishment, who is well networked, and is well protected by people in the system.
DE disagrees with any invertebrate with an exoskeleton through physical mechanisms.

I am a concerned citizen and parent. I only have so much time to write a well source comments. I wish people were applying just as much critical carefulness with regard to CDC publications. Where is the CDC longitudinal VE study? Do they even track VE data over time? Why do I have to sift through data instead of "the experts"?

Let's look at the weekly UK vaccine surveillance report, week 36 vs. week 42, afaik both within the UK Delta wave. For VE against severe disease, let's look at 'Deaths within 28 days of first positive COVID-19 test by date of death' tables. Let's pick age group 40-49 (older parents) and compute VE = 1 - vax_ratio / unvax_ratio.

week 36, VE = 1 - 0.4 / 3.1 = 87%
week 42, VE = 1 - 0.5 / 2.0 = 75%

Notice something? Same for all other age groups. Same for all the intermediate VE reports. A small but constant gradual VE decline.

FWIW, none of this makes me any happy. I wish the vaccines were holding effectiveness, that we didn't need a booster within 1 year of the initial shots and that the pandemic was over. Alas, reality does not cooperate.

k8s lets you put multiple deployments on virtualized hardware in a cloud agnostic/consistent way. You can do all that on one machine. Even if you're running a single instance deployment you still probably want at least two environments. K8s isn't without value in that respect.
One of the cheaper Apple Watches with the HeartWatch app provides good data.
also important to understand that many people are not living in fear there and are comfortable. this seems to be a point that other people in the west seem not willing to believe. a loose analogy would be that its not dissimilar from living in a theme park and understanding that you can't watch porn there or criticize the owners, and a whole host of other arbitrary prohibitions that we are only used to seeing in private sector. most of the other inhabitants in said theme park wouldn't have cared or thought of doing the things that are forbidden and also simply don't expect for a different kind of governing structure to exist. that doesn't mean that people disappearing (under a form of due process we just happen to not respect) is being condoned, no different than people disappearing in a theme park and being beat up by security would be condoned. its all important to understand.

lol Apple knew damn well what would happen. They are a business. This was a good business move for them. Being able to advertise it as privacy just boosted it to a fantastic business move.
Yes, but that’s in no way comparable to a centralized server where potentially millions of conversations can be compromised at the same time.
I think Python core developers should not worry about closed-source enterprise Python code.

If users are gaining performance, they will bend over backward porting their code to this new version.

At minimum, I predict, all FAANGMULA would jumped in the bandwagon and create a pretty big ripple effect.

Yep. For a world building story the movie was very pedestrian in making it seem like a new and different world. They made several poor choices cutting and modifying the story which I feel directly contradicts the spirit of the book.

It felt like reading a Brian novel - a bunch of weird stuff that didn't have any heart or feeling.

I watched it and will watch it again and maybe I'll change my opinion but it wasn't the savior of the Dune world story. I'll even pay to see it in a theater even though I saw it free on HBO.
dirtbaggery - the action or practice of taking liberties with the truth of a matter and using it as a weapon "dirtbaggery is not the end of the world"

Usually it is not quite a gift, where I work you get some bonus, something like $1500 for each patent with your name on it.
Having someone assign a license to you doesn't normally grant you standing to sue for copyright infringement and definitely doesn't allow you to file a DMCA takedown notice, which requires you to affirm that you are the copyright holder, not a licensee. Copyright trolls have been smacked down pretty hard in US courts.
It wouldn’t be, but you wouldn’t know that from the hype.
Significant improvements have been made that make NTSB recommendations null. Frankly, Homendy appears to be several years behind Tesla's advancements in Autopilot and FSD. The NTSB may be adding more risk with their recommendations due to likely human circumvention and willful ignorance of data.

Sounds like an inexperienced data engineer. One of the first things you learn is to read tabular data into a DataFrame, like pd.read_csv. So, there’s a natural progression to pd.read_sql [0], which default behavior loads SELECT * FROM t without any filters into a DataFrame. But, it also accepts a raw sql query or SQLAlchemy selectable, which should be used to join/filter data before loading into python.

ok fair. I didn't fully understand the point and wasn't aware that gold was, say, denser than lead. (not a metallurgist, just a biochemist), and I was fixated on the deficiency of point #1. Thanks for pointing it out. In either case, verifability of gold is thus a product of TWO easily assessed properties, not just one.

They accept that the text comes from the US patent, while not accepting what the text states. It's like two people arguing, one going "The professor yesterday said X is true" and the other replying "Yes, indeed he said that yesterday, but that doesn't mean X is actually true".
Boop the snoot in Morse code!
Yeah, but I think only the first year is Classics? The other three years are more recent Great Books that postdate the Classical Period.

You are generally right. Mind that this (commercial OSes) is on an entirely different level. However, I'm afraid, if there was a way to effectively commercialize FOSS software, it would have gone the way of e-mail or Usenet.

Regarding iPhone (and smartphones in general), I'm with you. However, I don't think that this ill-fated CSAM filtering attempt was meant to establish intrusion. At least, if I was Apple, I would go a long way to avoid becoming a transparent tool for law enforcement and intelligence. There is no win down that route, only pain, lots of pain. They are doing fine without it, already.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know if a hired driver speeds then whose income is the speeding fine based on?
> Security is not a premature optimization

There are plenty of situations where decent security is a premature optimization too. For example prototypes or proofs-of-concept that are only intended to demonstrate or benchmark a capability. The sort of thing where, even if you did insist on making it 'secure' the username/password would be admin/admin.
Great answer and totally right.

There also is no "central authority" since anyone can become a validator. Bitmain, while absolutely huge producer of hardware and a miner, is not the only manufacturer of the hardware.

Even better, there is a giant financial incentive to build the best miner [1].

That's not money, that's currencies and fiat.

And there's a difference between "controlling" and "owning".

Free market doesn't provide mechanisms for money "control".

If you rightfully own it, it's yours and I don't care how much you have. I apply the same logic to Bitcoin - I don't care how many people own it and how much BTC each has: it's their own business. But they can't "control" "money" - they care barely control their own wallets I don't accept BTC in exchange for my labor. So, why should I care?
> I can protect myself, everyone else is their own responsibility.

How does that work if everyone expects you to communicate with them via Whatsapp and their Gmail, or even if you don't, they will happily backup all communication with you in the cloud?
Users, miners and developers all have different powers and hold each other to account in an interesting way that few people understand so far, affecting what 'control' really means. It needs to be put in context with alternatives. Compared to the alternative of corrupt governments that have complete control to print money at will, I have no doubt that it is a extremely promising experiment. ASICs do seem to pervert some incentives so people should be more interested in modified Proof-of-Work algorithms like Monero has been doing successfully
Was that really correlated? It feels to me that change more strongly correlates with the rise of Facebook for everything and the Appstorification/mobile. 2008-2012 were the golden age of mobile apps and games like Farmville, for instance…
