Why do you want them to go outdoors, though? You could get more teens to go to the library by turning off all the lights and playing dance music at high volume, but it wouldn't serve the reasons that made you want them to go there in the first place. Instead of spreading the benefit of the library to more people, it would destroy the benefit of the library for everybody (and it would probably make a pretty poor nightclub, too.)

If you want kids to get a little bit of exercise and breath clean air, clean up urban air quality and create walkable cities with park space. Then people who want a busy social outdoor space and don't mind a lot of mechanical noise will have a place to go where their enjoyment won't interfere with the enjoyment of people who want to hear birds and insects and trees moving in the wind.
I have the opposite thing. I become more and more frustrated and intolerant towards kids and especially their parents for making the rest of us go through that. I get it that they wanted kids and were ready for the screaming and whining and moaning, but I didn't want that. And yet I have no option, I have to tolerate it, too.

If I could pay for child-free transport, I would.
Why should the idea of a lawnmower be patented? There are already enough protections for IP. Design patents, trademarks and copyright (to some degree).

Giving an inventor of something a monopoly on its creation should be extremely limited.

Quite famously, the Wright Brothers original patent on the flight control mechanism successfully stifled any American company from making a plane, which became a real issue when the US entered World War One. The US quite famously had to buy planes from Europeans. This was such a huge problem that Congress passed laws to create a patent pool for aviation to stop this happening again.

Patents are unnecessary and they stifle innovation in almost all cases.
And don’t put your pets in the overhead bin. People have done this (without the flight attendants even noticing) to find that their pet has suffocated in-flight.

If you're only suing different parties that independently also discovered your invention, that's a different thing than trying to sell your patent to an entity that is actually going to produce the invention and make use of it.

Maybe patents should indeed only be enforceable by those that produce the invention (practicing entities as it was called above, not sure if that's an official term or something they came up with) and if you want royalties then you should put that in the contract when you sell the patent rather than sitting on patents without doing anything useful. That way we can have individual inventors (they are rewarded by what they make from the patent's sale) without also allowing trolls to claim to be inventors (because "NPEs" can't actually sue for infringement).

Or perhaps this should be a software thing, I don't know enough about how well this stuff worked for other fields honestly. I've only ever heard bad stories but then I also hang out with open source communities.

Edit: I realized one might think this makes the patent useless. If you can't sue for infringement as entity that doesn't produce the invention itself, any company could produce it and ignore you. Correct. However, I'm sure that if EvilCorp ignores your patent sale offer and produces GreatInvention without a license, MegaCompetitor would love to take the GreatInvention patent off your hands and license it to EvilCorp (or not and just block further use by EvilCorp). Thus the inventor can still be rewarded for the sale (incentivizing inventions), the new owner gets benefits of exclusivity for the parent's remaining duration, and it forces the invention to be available on the market (it can't only be locked away uselessly).

While I believe that the point about doing business in other countries is valid, we aren't talking about foreigners in this thread. We're talking about someone in state A that wants to do business in state B under the general assumption that they won't be blindsided by policies being vastly different between the two. I sympathize because I have been blindsided in that way before -- 3 years after making a decision, my accountant informed me that an obscure (federal, in this case) tax requirement existed that I didn't know about, hadn't known to ask about, had never heard about from a lawyer, the accountant or anyone else, and had absolutely massive fines associated with it.

Basically everything you've written is dripping with contempt for anyone who gets similarly blindsided, and you're making every effort to strawman and twist the message. Nobody, not me and not the guy writing this article, says that the law "doesn't apply" to us. Most people starting a business have a deep desire to follow the law as well as possible, because they don't want to run into future difficulties. But again, it's difficult to check all the boxes.

I wonder why you're so contemptuous, but it's kind of a moot point. Most people understand that the tax code complex, and understand that it would be better for small businesses if they were not so complex.

Echoes of AF447 here. I thought that Airbus makes the only airliners with no feedback when there are dual inputs applied, and Boeing takes a decidedly different approach. Can someone experienced with this explain how this could have happened?

Patents shouldn't exist at all.
I assume aftermarket parts could decrease the value of the vehicle, so it would come down to what the fair market value of a Tesla that has been used as a rental car that has only OEM parts is compared to a Tesla that is similar in all other regards but has known non-oem parts installed by people of uncertain technical skill.

I would be surprised it if was more than a few hundred dollars of damages if there were any damages at all.

This seems like a loss. Gnome and other companies had to pay money (as I understand) for an invalid patent, a patent lawyer had to pay for re-examination and a patent troll lost nothing except for a patent that was invalid anyway.

Are vaguely worded patents legal? For example, if someone in the age of black-and-white TV would patent an idea that "colors can be transmitted wirelessly or by wire, decoded or not decoded by a TV or other electronic or non-electronic device and displayed or not displayed on a screen or other medium". Would this idea without any research count as a valid patent application? Please explain, knowledgable people.
I left Twitter after the algorithmic news feed came in. “How bad could it be?” I wondered. Really bad. Despite carefully curating my Twitter feed to be almost all creators doing interesting stuff, Twitter decided what I really wanted to see was awful racist politics.

I had a think about it and deleted the app the next day. You can blame twitter’s users if you want. I blame twitter’s algorithm for actively finding the most vile stuff and shoving it in everyone’s faces.
but it's completely valid to have something like a 4GB linked list, if that's what your application calls for. there's nothing wrong with having a linked list whose nodes you allocate in an arena and then free all at once (or mark as "free" & reuse yourself if needed) later! I'm not familiar with how ropes work beyond the surface level so I can't comment on that, but in general, it's helpful to recognize that memory allocation and struct initialization don't have to be coupled. it's only when you go "full RAII" that you have the recursive-traversal free() issue. if you sidestep RAII (or override operator new or whatever), then you can allocate memory in pools or arenas or whatever, instantiate structs within that memory, and then later free the whole thing at once. the whole idea of garbage collection seems to me to be predicated upon the idea of not wanting to have to worry about what is going on "under the hood" in memory and instead wanting to be able to say, with code, "get me a new Foo—I don't care where you put it, figure it out yourself—and when I'm done with it, get rid of it as you see fit." and it's easy to see how one gets there, because languages like C++ encourage you to use new and delete to construct and destruct objects, allocating them in memory wherever. but by putting a little bit of thought into your program's structure and how the memory is going to be handled under the hood, you can not only get better performance but also just a better understanding about what the computer is doing with the code you write.

I used C# before I learned C/C++ and it was great to muddle my way through things with garbage collection until it wasn't. then when I learned C & C++ it was like ok, malloc()/free()/new/delete all the things, sure. but there's plenty of middle ground between the two extremes that is often overlooked when it comes to memory management, in favor of "garbage collection, yes or no?"

Yes but this lead is in contained units that can be removed and recycled separately. Not spread all over the entire device.

Also at the time there was no alternative for these. Now that even UPSes are starting to use lithium, I think these will be banned sooner rather than later too.

LOL at the idea of [my pet flying separate from me, in the main cabin of a separate plane just for pets] being a superior option to [my pet being in my hands the entire time and handled literally only ever by myself, which is what happens when you take your pet in-cabin on a normal passenger airline like Southwest].
Such fond memories of this game. The fighting mechanics were amazing. I hope that this has the intended effect, allow other developers to learn how it was done, what mistakes look like, and for case studies of how things are done.

The Aspirational Zombie
Sure, Intel focuses on single thread perf, high power (241 watt max tdp), and automatically overclocks to 5.1 GHz, only if you have enough power, cooling, and a bunch of idle cores. Thus the 15% variation in submitted scores. It's also rather memory bandwidth constrained, and shows impressive numbers with a single core running.

Apple on the otherhand doesn't overclock, focuses on multi-core performance, has great memory bandwidth, and all the submitted scores are within 1%.

The M1 ultra is also 1.32x faster in the multiprocessing benchmark. Looks pretty impressive to me, even ignoring the much less power the M1 ultra uses.
> If you sell a gun to an unstable crazy who shoots up the neighbourhood then some blame lies with you.

I'm not required, thankfully, when selling something to do deep background on the person purchasing it. Further, you'd have to prove that my knowledge of this person included the fact that they intended to do something bad with the gun I sold them before I sold it to them.

Finally.. I may have just sold them the gun. Perhaps it's more important to ask this question of the person who sold him the bullets. In this analogy, I suppose that would be the patent law firm.

> Ultimately its probably better if we move to a world where a lot of "intellectual property" expires with it's holder and passes into the public domain.

You move from a high premium on participating in a market, which by some arguments, is my right to participate in to having no participation in it at all. I think more harm than good comes from this.

> To apply a leverage point analysis, it's probably time to reexamine and change the rules about the transferability of patents. Does the purchaser have a legitimate justification to hold the patent? If no, it forfeits.

You'll trade outright patent transfers for shell company transfers, and the small inventor takes a back seat in all of this.

This situation is unfortunate, but I don't think improvements come from hamstringing everyone.
no. communication is part of the path we call life.
Prejudice wouldn’t be such an issue if there weren’t a grain of truth in it. Pretty much any superficial indicator that you’ve lived a harder life than average can be used as a way to guess that you might be a worse employee due to some lingering baggage and a less privileged upbringing.

I say we just tax every house you're not living in full-time as if you owned an apartment building or hotel. You wanna run an Airbnb? Sure, go ahead, but pay the same taxes as an actual hotelier.
One of the new laws regarding accounting was daily mark-to-market accounting of assets and investments. $AMZN just took a $7.6B hit due to this ($RIVN write down). So it’s hit or miss. I remember Buffett complaining about this change a year back or so.
No, actually. I'm talking about people who move to an area wanting to change it, in my experience typically (but not always) rich, white, never gone hunting, that sort.

This is completely ideological, not racial. If you want to correlate those two, that's on you.

This is not the only thing that happened in the last two decades. Everyone started manufacturing for the lowest possible price in China and started designing for planned obsolescence. In my opinion these were much larger factors in e-waste.
In general you can get closer to this by paying more. For instance with air travel families with children don’t often fly first class or stay at hotels at the upper tier of cost. But it’s not perfect on most cases
I think America is like legacy software. We know there are problems. No, we are not going to fix them. Last time we tried to fix it, everywhere went haywire and the people (users) hated it.
Nearly all lead acid batteries are properly recycled as required by law. Passing laws like that for electronics using leaded solder would be way more intrusive and annoying than just telling manufacturers to use a safer alternative.
Yeah, sounds like this guy needs to just not use the internet or computers at all. That is where almost all scams originate. Don't bother even talking to people. When the internet was created, no one knew the power. Maybe some day soon we will be able to employ this tech to further humanity.
Some people are allergic. Some people have phobias. Some people would simply prefer not to be near an animal that may drool, shed, bark or otherwise act unpredictably when stressed on a flight.

None of that is unreasonable. I have nothing against dogs and dog owners but too many owners these days seem oblivious to the fact that many other people would prefer not to be forced to share space with animals.
You can. Planesense, NetJets, Delta Black, and many others would be happy to take your business.

Far short of that, first class on trans-oceanic tend to be kid-free or well-behaved kids at least. Domestic flights, first-class is less pricey and therefore more prone to having kids in it.

Yes, it definitely is. The land I grew up on in rural Virginia where , 20 years ago, I could find several species of snakes , frogs, toads, birds etc within 20 feet of the front door is now a dead zone - except for the deer and occasional fox.

Good of you to ask, it's come into my radar this week, and I'm writing a toy project with it (https://github.com/1player/fancy).

My impressions:

* it feels pretty fun and productive. Right now only Elixir feels better than that, so it's good to have fun on the system programming space.

* it's too slow to compile. This is a major pain point for me, iteration speed should be priority #1. I'd love a REPL.

* it's incredibly easy to hack on the compiler. I sent today my first PR to fix a bug in the stdlib.

* great stdlib, needs better documentation, again Elixir would a great inspiration for how to write docs. I'd love more monadic functions to deal with nils.

* github feels healthy and very active, but the whole ecosystem feels like it's stalled in the past 2 years. Pretty much nobody talks about it, most deps haven't been updated in years, it has a ghost town feel.

* it would fit nicely in my list of favourite languages. Zig for very low level, Crystal for native high level, Elixir for daemons and long running services.

Verdict: I like it a lot, it could be my favourite system programming language, but outreach and hype would give me some hope it's going somewhere and not dying a slow death.
I'm a member of the technical team that received and handled this request - if anybody has any questions that aren't answered by the article, I'd be happy to try to answer.

In order to fit under the seat... Would that mean your pets are mice? Or ants? Barely enough room for my feet under some airline seats... I doubt any breed of cat or dog would fit, unless they were <1 year old.

This isn't the same thing, but one of the reasons I quit my last job was because there was very little "real" work. Sure, there was "work." Basically, lots of pointless meetings and technical busy work: writing documents people rarely looked at, investigating 4 year old bugs that suddenly became important but nobody had a clue about, and, of course, writing more tests and refactoring a dumpster fire to fill the rest of the time.

You do realize that you can only fly in-cabin with your pet if it fits underneath the seat ahead of you, usually < 20 lbs. Many pets don't fit this criteria, but otherwise I agree with you.
I'm about to travel from Cali to NYC with my ~10 lbs dog. Got a soft-sided carrier off Amazon for pretty cheap in the required dimensions and plan to have him in the cabin with me.

These are the rules for AlaskaAir (+$100 each way):

For pets traveling in the cabin, hard-sided carriers must have maximum dimensions of 17" x 11" x 7.5" (43 cm x 28 cm x 19 cm) and soft-sided carriers must not exceed 17" x 11" x 9.5" (43 cm x 28 cm x 48 cm). They must be leak-proof, have adequate ventilation, and be lined with absorbent bedding. For pets traveling in the hold, carriers must not exceed the dimensions 30" x 27" x 40" (76 cm x 68 cm x 101 cm). Kennels must be solid, have handles, adequate air ventilation, and a sturdy roof. Pets must be provided with food and water bowls attached to the interior.

He's a super chill dog that sleeps all the time anyway. Did a trial run of him in the carrier and he just fell asleep.
Ages ago I made a tool that does a similar method (rewrite the least-significant N bits of a pixel in the cover image with the most-significant N bits of the corresponding pixel of the hidden image). In my tool N is configurable.

The main pitfall is that it doesn't work very well if the output is saved as a JPEG because of the compression.

I think OP's idea of encoding all of the bits of the hidden image, by using a cover image with more pixels, is a good improvement: you get no loss of quality in the hidden image, and you vastly reduce the loss of quality in the cover image.
