I also noticed the Twitter account doesn’t exist. I’m sure this very real company simply hasn’t gotten around yet to making their Twitter account, but someone should absolutely grab that handle before they do.
You can be threatened or sued for pretty much anything - if they care, are bought by someone who cares (ie Disney) or in the future start caring then you might be sued. Whether it goes anywhere or whether you win is a different matter.

Trademarks are based on a class of product or thing however (see eg the goods and services listing on https://trademarks.justia.com/875/27/iron-87527652.html - one of a bunch of iron man trademarks), so if there's no confusion/it's not a category that they have trademarked, then your odds are better.
This is very interesting, thank you for sharing.
I recently released a new version of my C MessagePack library MPack [1] with a cool new feature to dynamically calculate the size of maps and arrays during encoding. Having to always specify the size of containers up-front was a pain. I believe it's the only C/C++ MessagePack implementation that can do this. Of course bugs appeared immediately so I am working on a patch release.

I am also working on and off on my C template library Pottery [2]. I haven't pushed any code in a while; having a day job and young children makes progress slow :(

Some time in the early-ish 90s when I was a student I worked at a tiny place doing software development, targeting various commercial Unixes. Development was done on a lowly 486 running some variant of SCO System V UNIX, and I vaguely recall that the cost of licensing the system with compilers was thousands of dollars (you had to pay a lot of money for each little feature of the OS too, like TCP, SMP, ...). Or it would have been, if it hadn't been for some guys at the little ISP next door who gave us a copy of GCC, which was a gateway to running Slackware Linux, which was pretty soon where all future development was done before transferring it over to customers' HPUX boxes or whatever.

I was just a kid catching the tail end of all that, but there are still a couple of hard-to-get-your-hands-on big iron Unixes like that; I've worked on most of them (ie those and many that are gone), and I must say it's surprising to me that, by now, you still can't just download an ISO and run it on qemu or whatever (actually you can, but it's probably illegal). I could forget about them entirely, if I didn't have to keep the open source stuff I work on working on them too, with limited access and no CI...
I'd love to read a detailed walkthrough about this!

I posted on a thread about burnout back in May about quitting my job[1] after nine years, this seems like an invitation to post an update.

I used the time off to travel around in a van, hiking, eating, camping, and visiting friends. I'm now back in the city and catching up all of the life stuff that I put on hold for the pandemic and / or travel -- minor remodeling, maintenance, friends I didn't really get to see during the pandemic, etc.

I've been making big-picture decisions about future work as I go but the next phase is to put in serious hours into the search (since I'm planning to move out side of my current network / FinTech). Looking to start something new sometime this winter.

If anyone has questions about taking a longer time off work (will be 6+ months for me) or about taking more time almost totally away from computers / tech (2+ months), feel free to thread Q's.

No they don't. You have to prove significance in a particular market to get trademark protections; you don't get trademark protection over the word as used in all contexts (and since they have no marketshare, because it hasn't launched, there's no conflict at all).
Any reading recommendations re: web3? I still don't really understand what it is but I've been meaning to do a deep dive.
Trade mark legislation, and passing off legislation, protect marks being used. They don't (in general) protect one's "ability to establish [a] brand's identity". That's the right way to do things IMO, brand camping wouldn't help society.

Prima facie it sucks but they can probably get global coverage for their product/services they're already selling (trademark registration requires current use, someone said the OP company have a trademark registered) on the basis of "what do we do now Facebook are using our name".

It seems likely that if they can't leverage this for financial benefit, in a forthright way, then they were going to fail anyway.
I mean, I'm not opposed to this feature existing, but I always thought it was one of WhatsApp's weirder choices as a default behavior.

The article is about attacking far-future science-fictional manned military spacecraft.

For a speculative article like this, spacecraft drive serving a story narrative will need to move human-scale payloads (hundreds or thousands of tons) in human-scale timespans. (Weeks, not years) Therefore, gravities of acceleration, and buckets of delta V. Trajectories planned by pointing at a screen and saying "go there", not waiting six months for the right rocks to line up to give you a gravity assist.

Well the first site I hosted was on shared hosting for free. I had dial up, so hosting it on my own PC was not very practical. I didn't know about server administration, but knew how to write PHP, so this was perfect for me.

When I got a job in a supermarket at 16 earning £4/hr I was able to afford a VPS, so bought that and learnt how to administer servers. To me it was a worth-while expense as a fun hobby and education. Today you can get a more powerful VPS for $5/mo, of even free with things like AWS free tier.

I'm not sure that's really applicable to Zuck and Co (it wasn't just him when it launched) though - someone at Harvard with wealthy parents.
You can’t “steal” a name. The English language is not up for ownership. Trademarks serve a specific purpose of indicating trade source and are there for public policy reasons. You have to use the trademark in trade for it to be protected.

Furthermore if you use your mark for running a noodle store and me for a shoe store there is no conflict.

If Facebook is within the law (the other guy is not even using it) there is no morality involved. (I am a lawyer)

That is marketing video from 2016, which many including the NTHSA criticized Tesla over, and which Tesla has updated documentation, driver prompts, and other marketing to reflect that the system is not "autonomous" infact if you look at the product pages they clearly say "full self-driving capabilities in the future—" this is also reflected by prompts to the driver, warnings to the driver, and the requirement that the driver provide feedback to the car they are in control...
Ah yeah and I’m noticing every .company gTLD has that same changed date so that’s actually not useful info.

I have no direct knowledge of the policy but the comment implies that it wouldn't matter.
Honestly mostly just curiosity. I like trying new things and having new hobbies, and it honestly seems relatively safe so I figured why not.

I am traditionally a really hard gainer. I'm currently the biggest I've ever been in my life but it's been from 6 days a week at the gym lifting weights consistently since June and eating a ton. It's been a shit load of work. I'm seeing progress but not as much as I'd like.
I don't get it. If everyone starts selling their Tether (because they're afraid of it not being able to maintain the peg), even if they can't sell the Tether back to the company, won't that crater the Tether price- possibly to zero- effectively killing the currency?

Like, this happens with currencies that are pegged to the dollar. The government that's supposed to be maintaining the peg starts to run out of dollars and starts limiting dollar redemptions. People turn to the black market to obtain dollars. The price of a dollar (in that currency) goes up. The value of the currency (again in dollars) drops. Now the peg is broken.

Tether the company could walk into the sunset with whatever they're holding- they can just honor "friends and family" withdrawals, but that doesn't prevent the coin going to zero for everyone else. It actually makes it even worse for the currency: suppose it's collateralized at 50%. Tether could honor withdrawals at 50 cents on the dollar, force every holder to take a 50% haircut. The price might settle to something less than $1 but more than $0 and continue on.

But if they abscond with the money instead, the currency will have even more reason to drop to nil.
Someone please post this topic again when the lawsuits ended 6 years from now. Thanks!
Exactly. Regulation can only be long-term good for the space, which is sorely lacking in legitimacy.
My interpretation - the UK was about having a few gentry owning all the land and a lot of peasants that just work on the land. The US was about giving each settler a Homestead of previously unowned land (Natives not being considered capable of owning land, because racism). So, a registry would be easy to operate in the UK, but the US was too big and poorly connected and had too many land owners to make that viable.

One example is Ayn Rand who said that Natives weren't using land productively and therefore weren't really owners of it.

I'm making a browser game. It's an idea I've had for a long time and had several false starts on it. I've had a lot of trouble in the past seeing personal projects through, but I just passed a major milestone and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm trying to be better about balancing the fun parts (implementing a map system in canvas) against the tedious parts (getting rails+typescript+docker+react up and running and configured), focusing on doing a little at a time.
It's cultural, just like Russians not smiling. Someone striking a nerve being all smiley?
I think that global warming is generally hard for people to wrap their heads around because it is a planetary scale event, and our consciousness experiences the universe on a much smaller scale.

Imo, the best way to reason about the impact in our daily lives is to think about systems that exist in much smaller spacetime scales than ourselves. So in this case statistical mechanics. What happens to the atoms or molecules of a system when you dump a bunch of heat into it? What might that look like at the scale of individual atoms and molecules?

That's probably OK since C++ does not spark joy either - the language is mostly a superset of some things that have been lying around for a while which you may or may not want, combined into a somewhat usable system.

At times I almost think there might be subset of C++ that sparks more joy - sometimes I try to program in it!

We have a small engineering team, and we're looking to bring on a strong front-end engineer, who's obsessed with building on mobile, and building world-class products for consumers.

Our tech stack: An iOS app built using React Native (with some custom native modules in Swift), and a NestJS + Typescript + Postgres + GraphQL backend deployed on AWS using Terraform.

We have a tight-knit, fast moving, and collaborative culture on the eng team.

> Even if the government finds one, they won't say it out loud. Nobody would hold them accountable. You cannot just incite WW3.

Did Snowden incite WW3 when he blew the whistle and delivered literally troves of evidence?

> It is suboptimal but probably the best that it can be.

That's just the same old "You just have to trust the government/intelligence services, they can't reveal their evidence/sources without endangering them!".

After decades of civilians getting droned and innocents getting tortured I think we should maybe have learned something from trusting such accusations from institutions who do not only have a history of lying, but literally a agenda to do so.

Particularly when timing wise most of these accusations fit very neatly into a pivot from the ME to Asia while also serving as a bit of "whataboutism" for the recent nasty reveals coming out of the Five Eyes camps in regards to human rights abuses and mass surveillance.

You don't actually know that though. For all we know MetaCompany might have a large stock pile of branded hardware.

At this point in time all we have is blind speculation based on a piece of PR that might or might not be true.
So following the English translation of the franchise the project can be called "A certain OS" - quite a nice name actually! :)
There is a very important aspect of opposite pressure.

If DAI price ever loses peg and goes to eg 0.90 anyone with open positions immediately starts buying a shitton of them and closing their position, because they just got a 10% discount on paying off their debt, sending the peg back.

If the price ever goes to 1.10, anyone with free capital around immediately starts minting new coins and floods the market with them, because they just got an instant 10% bump on the size of minted capital, sending the peg back.

Actually I use Arch. Now with that out of the way, we don't really need kernel releases mentioned on HN. If there is something noteworthy, then fine: mention it but simply noting a minor release is not news in itself.

That said, there are quite a few goodies in here. I see someone has already linked Kernel Newbies here already so I won't take up any more of your time.
Do you have any internal knowledge of product this company is working on and hence it is of no real value to “you”? How much time have they been working on this product? What’s the cost involved? How many people? Does it really matter whether they have a live product or if it is successful or not if it doesn’t affect the real topic here, which is of identity?
Maybe it has to do with the start of solar cycle 25? Expect to see improving HF propagation over the next 3-5 years. It's an exciting time for radio nerds.
This completely goes against Apple's guidelines 3.1.2(a):

If you are changing your existing app to a subscription-based business model, you should not take away the primary functionality existing users have already paid for. For example, let customers who have already purchased a “full game unlock” continue to access the full game after you introduce a subscription model for new customers.

I wonder if there will be any repercussions. I doubt it.
I'm happy relative to how I've looked in the past. On the whole I have a TON of room for improvement. I want to be jacked. I want people to look at me and be like oh shit he works out. So as to why: largely vanity. My fiance is very happy with my progress and her actions show that, which is nice too. But also because it's a challenge and quite different from anything I've done before. I'm also just curious what it's like and I like trying new things.

I would recommend going to get your T levels checked just in case they're low, especially if you have low T symptoms. My levels were fine for my age (early 30s) but could be better.
Do you mean the story about tiny super spy chips, so advanced that not even the US could manufacture them, allegedly being planted on thousands of US server boards?

I've had the same issue with finding more concrete details about it. I've read an entire book on data mesh, and while I get all the concepts, I sense that it's more like agile (a loose methodology) in the sense that it's not going to be something that can be taken off the shelf and applied to all organizations the same way. Basically, here's all these ways to make data handling successful, but how you do it will be specific to your company. Guidelines to follow and pitfalls to avoid as opposed to a specific technology.

That said, check out https://datahubproject.io/ . It's the closest OSS I've found that is following the spirit of Data Mesh.
I say it is a coincidence.

>> Are you at fault because you have to, in theory, keep in control at all times?

Yes...

We already have examples of this with machinery that is automated. The Humans in charge of these automated machines are responsible for monitoring them, and have things like emergency shut downs, and various other safety protocols to shut them down when (not if When) they do unexpected things.

Machines are machines, they fuck up. The manufacturers are not held liable because the know these types of abnormal conditions exist they is why they have the safety protocols and human minders.

An example of this is the auto manufacturer i believe in TN or TX that did not train the operators properly on the safe way to operate, and lock out a machine, this failure to train lead to human injury. The manufacturer of the robot was not liable, the company that failed to train the human staff was.
