>I wouldn’t recommend them sitting on the trademark being owned by a competitor //

This is not legal advice and in no way relates to my employment:

Trademarks don't work like that. Prior use for trade is an absolute defence in most jurisdictions (though I'm not intimately familiar with USA) and is most likely a reason to invalidate the latecomer's trade mark. You're definitely not "sitting on [their] trademark" if you were using it for trade before them. If anything they're infringing your trade mark -- though that's unlikely to do anything unless there's 'passing off'.

Trademarks are usually limited by geography and by Nice class (famously Apple computers promised Apple Music not to do anything in the way of music business so as not to infringe Apple Music's earlier mark) so several businesses can use the same word as a trade/service mark as long as they're not likely to be confused.

The opposition period may well have expired for invalidation, I don't know how that works in USA.

Them badgering you, and a trademark attorney misrepresenting the situation could be reason for a countersuit by itself. Certainly I'd discuss that if they do enlist some representation.

Fentanyl isn't used to cut cocaine. It's used to cut heroin (and possibly other opioids).

Pedantic note: Shalosh B. Ekhad. The middle initial is important, because the name derives from the fact that the original Shalosh B. Ekhad was an AT&T 3B1 computer. ("Shalosh" is the HEbrew name for the number 3, and "ekhad" is the Hebrew name for the number 1.)

I don't understand why one would be surprised at the recipients of the Peace Prize.

Alfred Nobel made his fortune from producing weapons and oil.

Rehabilitating the reputation of people responsible for vast numbers of deaths seems exactly appropriate for the Peace prize when that's its purpose from the beginning.
The problem here is that we're in a situation where those most gullible are sure that they are the most critical. As with everything in this weird world, "critical" has been peaked beyond recognition and turned onto itself. The word became meaningless in the online and later offline discourse. There isn't even a way to communicate the issue to those which needs education as every contingency for education has been co-opted into this ridiculous reality they (and ultimately we all) live in.

Unfortunately this reality is quite profitable.

As cliche as it may sound: we need an outside the box view on the whole thing and I don't even know who or what that could be which would look from outside this box we're trapped in.
Just out of curiosity - I wouldn't use vehicular manslaughter as a point of comparison for open source projects? Is there a reference I'm missing with that part of the comment?
> If you cannot afford an attorney, look for a company that offers domain name insurance or a domain name warranty, if you have an issue like this with your domain name, your legal fees to defend the domain are covered.

I would think it’s too late for that. Insurers typically (and most of the time rightfully, exceptions being cases were law requires them to do so, as is the case with health insurance in some countries) do not cover cases known before the insurance started.

If they covered past issues, nobody would take insurance before they knew they needed it.

> So think hard about what help Google et al could actually be providing to help log4j here.

I think you make a perfectly valid point and one that shouldn't be overlooked. How about this:

"Here's a $100K and an isolated penthouse suite down the road rented for the month where you can focus on fixing the problem and not be interrupted by screaming children. Here's a phone number if you need to delegate any specific tasks to additional teams."

Incentive to help. No added pressure. Just one practical example.

Not really. Only the two most recent major versions of Minecraft use Java 16/17. A lot, possibly most, of the online community still plays on old versions 1.8.9 and 1.12.2 which use Java 8.
Does that also mean that it is morally OK for the author to backdoor their code or sell zero days they discover in it? A direct reading of the license says there's no warranty so they have no grounds to complain, right?
I was with you until the second paragraph. Aren’t we having a kind of apple renaissance right now? Admittedly I know very little about apples, but when I was a kid the supermarkets basically just had red delicious and Granny Smith. Then came the galas & fujis and now my local supermarket has like 5 or 6 types of red apple, all of which are way better than anything I ate growing up (honey crisp are my current favorites).
All too common. Despite our best efforts, even the most detailed neuropsychological battery does a very poor job at detecting certain categories of cognitive changes -- especially in patients who were above average at baseline.

I'm a neurosurgeon and we commonly advise our patients: Even after a "perfect" or minimal surgery without any evidence of periprocedural stroke or complication, you may not ever be the same again. Sometimes it takes months for these changes to be noted, sometimes it's only even noticed by family members. Odd word finding difficulties, perception changes, memory/concentration issues; the gamut is endless. As we say, no one's the same when the air hits your brain.

My favorite way to dissect any open source issues:

Maybe. The technology for "JIT" (i.e. AOT just prior to the program starting) is also relatively mature, so maybe it could go that way.

However a lot of these are embedded targets so I don't think we are even close to needing to worry about at least some of these things yet.
Young/Innovative Companies for Physicians?
My wife is a physician. Like many physicians she feels sort of abused by the system - burnt out, feels like a cog in the wheel, she really cares about quality but that she's incentivized only for speed, etc. etc.

I want to try to find a place she could work where she could use her background but also enjoy her job. I've always felt like small companies are great because everyone is more likely to care - IMO probably the best heuristic for whether a place will be enjoyable to work at.

tldr does anyone have any suggestions for finding companies trying to push the envelope/be innovative/actually care about patients over $/etc.? I was hoping there could be some health care related start up that would work.
Yes, a given funnel cloud has a limited destruction band, but even that can be considerable. Note that the largest storms ("wedge tornados) have recorded funnel diameters in excess of 1 mile in diameter* (1.6 km for the rest of the world).

Additionally, once tornadic conditions are encountered, the risk itself is present over a large area, and people across 100s or 1,000s of square miles (that's rougly 260 -- 2,600 km^2) may be cautioned to take cover, affected by other strong winds, by windblown debris, and/or local or regional damage caused by the storms themselves. High winds sufficient to be damaging can exist well outside the vortex, the condensation funnel does not indicate the limit of tornadic winds, and the entire storm may be rain-wrapped, preventing visual observation.

It's a bit like being in a crowd whilst a gunman is actively shooting. The damage cross-section of any one round is small. The net effect on an aware crowd is large. The potential for damage itself changes behaviour considerably and has a marked psychological impact.

Wind damage increases with the square of the speed, and gusts are not sustained winds. The damage caused by a 500 MPH tornado field experienced for five several minutes is thousands of times greater than a few seconds of 50 mph gust, and that gust alone could topple a tree. The tornado will pick up the tree and use it to wipe your house from the Earth, with earnest effort and taking its time in doing that.
These are the same social media companies that allowed, nay promoted, a Russia truther narrative that Vladmir Putin personally stole the 2016 election to install his sleeper agent in the US presidency. The same truther narrative whose architects have since been arrested for propagating it.
I mean it's true that once the code is published it's out there. So if you are only interested in the code up to a certain cutoff date I don't think you need to pay.

But that's not how people use them- people commit to a solution not only because it works today but also because they are likely going to keep using it for the foreseeable future. It's the maintenance that is the costly part. Maintaining a library is a lot more involved than producing it and then vanishing w/o a trace.

Ultimately somebody publishing and maintaining a good library is a positive externality for society. It's like giving kids a good education- it helps everyone. So big corporations relying upon open source w/o putting their money up to help allow the actual 'boots on the ground,' so to speak, get the job done, is kind of like getting a good free education as a kid, making a ton of money as a grownup, and refusing to pay teachers along the way.
The brain is a very flexible thing of meat, even destroyed or damaged partways can recover, by shifting in adjunct areas.

There are cases, were people destroyed the centers for speech with drinking and recovered the ability by shifting it into other areas.

So to heal, one needs to rekindle the obsession and basically keep the request for the functionality constantly open. It is hard though, amounting to basically retrain a area of your brain for a different functionality.

One addition. As doctor, one gets a very good view of the finiteness of human life. This "grown up" perspective, is then expected from patients, who instead expect a miracle head electrician that can fix everything in an instant up to/not yet included neural death.

ESR - the person who coined "open source" in the first place! - agrees that this is a problem worth addressing.

How do you mean it "can handle events"? I barely know SDL, but it does not look like it is super straightforward to integrate a socket:

https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/src/video/windows/SDL_windowsevents.c#L1430
https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL-1.2/blob/main/src/events/SDL_events.c#L403
https://github.com/SDL-mirror/SDL/blob/master/src/events/SDL_events.c#L769

Also, it seems to create a separate listener thread just to pump the messages, which I'm not sure I like.

I could imagine SDL supports new event types by requiring the user to create _yet_ another thread, which waits for e.g. network events, then submits them to the SDL main event queue.
What happened? How severe was it?
I think not. I mean, I am not scared directly of Google and Facebook, I am scared of the tools they put at the disposal of people manipulating discourse. I don't think FB nor G even _want_ to be in this discussion, but they just don't have any other choice, they would rather just rake in their big wads of cash. No, the danger comes from the way the tools are used. I have seen several people dear to me fall into some really bad beliefs that are not rational. I think that the whole "tracking" discussion's most dangerous in this aspect, it can, statistically, persuade people of things that don't make sense and don't pass the reason test. Basically, really effective propaganda. Just this time, anyone with time can access this propaganda machine. Want to destabilize a country from within? No problem, you don't even have to be be there.
> How much of that was people passing those things off as fact, when there wasn't the evidence to back them up?

The censors haven't held themselves to the same standards when identifying "misinformation," and they certainly jumped on studies that were terrible, such as the fraudulent hydroxychloroquine Lancet study.

> If people say "it could have been a lab leak" (and many people did, without being "censored")

And many people did with being censored (with or without scare quotes.)
You didn't answer the question ... what are some examples of posts, or viewpoints that are, according to you, verboten?

And didn't the GOP helmed investigation find that there was a concerted disinformation campaign waged by Russia, as well as numerous links between people in the Trump campaign and Russian operatives?

Each time I visit NPR to read an article, I’m always so pleased by their “text” mode (text.npr.org). It’s a joy to use, and a welcome change from the normal “modern” news websites we so often encounter, which are riddled with ads and megabytes of JS.
Agree completely. It is always NOT given to the deserving party based on it's prima facie claims. Of course the agenda is completely different to the stated one and hence their choice of the undeserving and oftentimes murderous vile people.

> Can we make fix the places where it's broken? Also, Yes.

Two problems:

1. How is it broken? As I and others in this thread attest to, the thing that makes open source so powerful is, in fact, the lack of legal and moral obligation to do anything in exchange for the right to use the software. Not having obligations is a two-way street. Same for donations; donations do not give you any additional assurances.

2. If it is truly broken, then what is the solution? Nobody has really offered any solution, that I can see. If the solution is that everyone rushes to support a project the moment it hits the news, that's not sustainable. It's good that log4j and its maintainer(s) will get more attention and hopefully funding as a result of this snafu, but it's not a sustainable solution to a problem.

(As a clarification, I am not implying that the answer is "it's not broken." I certainly do agree that open source is underfunded, though I think this is more of a procedural issue than anything.)
This is like the exception that proves the rule. He was an exceptional specialist.

The reality is that there is a big demand for people willing to help direct/manage developers who are not great with their time, and to have some degree of vision and project management skills - with a dispationate outlook on corporate politics.

The best people to do that are former/current developers since they know how the sausage is made.

Because of this excess demand, and the higher efficiency of having a manager with more managerial experience, pay rates are higher for management than most development.

I don't think developers become much more efficient as they get older, since they're often required to learn the newest frameworks (unless they're in a highly specialized field that has tools that last decades), whereas managers become significantly better over decades, and thus can justify higher pay rates.
What does that have to do with the selection of Nobel winners 125 years later? Honestly, what relationship could it possibly have? Are the awards haunted?
I think it's great to realize when you are not getting enough from open source and should focus on software you are paid to write. The benefits of open source are basically three fold:

1) mentorship opportunities and learning different problem domains by solving real world problems in those domains. This helps solve the bootstrap problem of skill acquisition in things like networking, graphics, etc.

2) exposure - this can be used to help land a job by publicly demonstrating your skills.

3) Pay -- there is a small minority of open source developers who are hired on a salary or contract basis to develop or support the code.

Now whether the above three benefits are worth the cost of spending your time on open source depends on each individual developer. Each will have their own trade off.

But I'd hope people can make this trade off without condemning the entire movement or declaring it broken or in need of change so that it would become a better trade off for you.
> I'm still flabbergasted that the original maintainers are rushing around trying to patch these problems.

If the RCE had been responsibly disclosed instead of via tweets and PR comments, maybe there wouldn't have had to be so much scrambling. And indeed maybe ASF could have found corporate OSPOs to help with remediation.

There are lots pixels being spilled on how the users of open source software should be paying for it (?), but I haven't seen much criticism of the vulnerability not being responsibly disclosed.
Severe D deficiencies is the 'why', while this paper deals with part of the 'how'.

Since D is fat soluble, all D goes into the fat cells first, but so much fat cannot be easily filled, so while leaving the free-floating blood & organs completely unprotected, even many fat cells are still largely empty & unprotected too!

D is the critical immune hormone traditional Equatorial tribes, like the Maasai, continue to make naturally in their skin, outside under their year-round UVB. With little exercise, they stay thin, healthy & happy their whole lives with D maintained at 45-55ng/ml!

Obese suffer much higher rates of most modern diseases because of ever lower D, becoming diabetic, cancerous, heart-diseased, and/or auto-immune. But cheap & safe supplementation to evolutionary repletion >50ng/ml, (though requiring much higher dosing for obese), is just as protective for the obese as for any healthy or other CovidComorbid person.

A recent PubMed peer-reviewed Meta-Analysis showed the complete inversality of D & Covid. They surmised that 50ng/(or 125nmol) would have ZERO CovidMortality!

My point is it's your collective job as a professional software dev shop to do so. It's a relatively fixed cost too - incrementally knowing your toolchain once you've done it the first time isn't that bad.
Tbh I think that a major nation state’s national security agency should probably run something like this (publicly, with open source) and see if it’s a good tactic for use in the future against major bugs. They should also not use it to gain a foothold in their networks, but show that their defensive mission matters.

It’s not really possible for a private company to do this kind of thing, but I think a state security agency could.
