If IP is real property, it should be taxed. The tax system I like for IP works for hire is this: each year you owe 1/4% * N (where N is the age of the IP) in taxes on the IP. Whatever you pay, the "public" (anyone/everyone else) can pay the balance to the USPTO (or LoC) to move that IP in to the public domain.

Non-works-for-hire last for some fixed time, or until all the authors/inventors are dead, whichever comes first. A principal distinction between "works-for-hire" and "private works" is that a private owned work gives any of the authors/inventors unilateral rights to rescind contracts without contractual repercussion.
I agree it factors in highly in the US. Probably incorrectly so. But here the perceived threat of lawsuits and equal employment opportunity scrutiny drive the practice of leaving out the headshot. Let people discriminate when they have more plausible deniability, I suppose. Even though unattractive is not a protected class, receiving headshots of the applicants to be rejected before interview would open you to scrutiny of differentials in hiring of protected classes as well.

Even kilohertz would probably be adequate.
London has done this by converting (in some cases, knocking down) industrial buildings into lofts, boutique hotels and co-working/co-living places.
Y'know, now that you mention it, I don't recall changing the default editor in Ubuntu. I think I first noticed vi or vim as the default editor in Fedora around 6 years ago, and maybe also in git bash on Windows. Beyond that, my memory is hazy, but I think vi or vim is the default in Debian and RHEL/CentOS, but I wouldn't put money on it.
Simultaneously irrelevant and condescending.
I'm not sure what you mean by "recreating the frontier?" Are you talking about cities, suburbs, or rural areas?

Changing property tax rates doesn't change cities or suburbs into something else, at least not at first. All the property is still owned by the same people. People still live in the same houses.

Wow resourceful! I open sourced this to get my first job in code. Gonna private it for now, and consider open sourcing it again when I secure some requirements.

Ugh, I was not happy reading the email this morning. At least you can say they're being transparent with the FAQ, 'yeah, this will increase your bill'.

We already had logging disabled, but changing the default behavior in their favor is shady.

New Relic is already one of the most expensive items in our budget. Last year, I had to tell a producer "yeah, our SaaS that monitors our servers is more expensive than the servers themselves". That changed this year (started ramping up for scale), but it's still in the among the top of services we pay for.
It looks like petairways has the animals in a temperature controlled environment and they're monitored during transit.

The Caspian Sea is usually considered to be the world's largest lake by surface area. It's also considered a sea in specific contexts, where the underlying motivation is clear. For example, a recent treaty defined it as a sea, dividing it into exclusive economic zones of the coastal states. As a lake, most of the offshore oil and gas reserves would have been shared equally between the coastal states.
> This is not a matter of caring about the quality of the work. I'm confident that few critics of the USPTO would do a better job than current examiners under the same time constraints.

I doubt anyone criticises the workers at the bottom, if/once they're aware of said time constraints. Rather, the caring about the quality of the work is something the person who decides on the time constraints clearly doesn't do.

It is a matter of caring, but yeah of course it is decided by a higher-up, not every person working there being individually lax. (I don't expect google/malboro/shell/... employees to be individually evil either, for example, even if the companies clearly could be better-respected if they cared about doing their work in society well.)

Hey man, maybe I'm a bot too. Who knows. Blip bloop. But these are just computer chips and fresh low karma accounts with vitriol dialed to the max is a-typical of HN. By all means, M1 is the worst, why froth at the mouth about it in this manner? You explain it.
I did this sort of stuff for a time, it's even better if you link webhooks to your git provider and make those fire the actions directly in the server.

Once the script was set up to do all the build and deployment, we only needed to push to the release branch to load it, just as painless and with more or less the same underlying ideas that the easy CI/CD you get with providers like Heroku et al.

It still really pays off to know a thing or two about sysadmin nowadays, literally and figuratively.
> I would expect a judge to determine that someone has exceeded their authorized access to a computer and, as such, their behavior is in violation of the CFAA.

How would that work if the computer is owned by the supposed infringer? Has there ever been a judge who ruled that the CFAA applies to computers the defendant owns?
So 1900-2200 for Intel and 1770-1780 for M1?

Just like the naming tbh... it's kinda cute and the domain is available.
Understood, please allow me clarify.

Not to get off-topic with copyright despite being an "older author",
notwithstanding the sibling comments, I'd agree it's too long.

Now, it's nice that patents time-out quite quickly, and indeed that
motivates for useful development, but what I'm talking about is adding
serial (AND) conditions that require they're capable of being used.

Alice has a fresh patent on a method for manufacturing a drug. She can
sell it to Bob who also runs a pharmaceutical company and is in the
process of expanding his portfolio of medicines. If Alice sells it to
Charlie who runs a hair salon and fashion company, because Charlie,
who is not in the business of making medicines, she cannot sue or
leverage using that patent in any way or it's immediately null and
void. Charlie doesn't have an "interest" in the patent and so loses
the patent by misusing it, without any further need to prove the
patent invalid. Crazy as that may sound to some, I think its a
reasonable amendment to present law.
Re "irresponsible."
Most business legal matters are about money. Settling can save the company money. It's just a business decision. Those who take it personally often end up spending more time and money than is needed.
It ‘Felt Fishy’: Kids’ Game Operator Rebuffed Fake Data Request
Coming right up
Disney's land straddles two counties. That raises a number of logistical challenges such as zoning, level of service, different priorities between the counties, which would ultimately all translate to a lower, less guest-friendly environment in the park. These are not resolvable using contractors/employees if you do not have control of the services/infrastructure.

A couple of hypothetical examples:

* What if one county is dry, but not the other? Does Disney allow purchase/consumption of alcohol on one side of the park, but not the other?

* What if the response time of EMS was significantly different between the two counties (meaning outcomes on one side of the park were far better than the other side)?

* What if the roads on one side are well maintained, but the other side is filled with cracks and potholes (like most city streets), so your initial perception of the park depended on which county you ended up entering the park from?

* What if Disney wants to open a new attraction, but they can't get commitment from the counties to provide the additional power and zoning for it?

How would those things affect your opinion of the park as a guest?

As a long-time (10y) user on the site, this is pretty scary to see. Reddit had been an ad incubator that trains people to do their job for a while now, the first signs of it I saw when I signed up in 2012 - probably to call it out back then even (HailCorporate was one of the first subs I joined)

My advice is to be extremely careful considering anything on the site reliable information and not just the output of an extremely effective PR machine

Elon Musk’s Twitter Pitch Featured Job Cuts, Other Ways to Make Money
Pretty much everything in the media I've seen about radioactive waste does not square when carefully analyzed. It receives an outsize proportion of criticism and FUD. My guess is that years of atomic bomb images and a few plant failures convinced people that nuclear is unsafe, when many of the perceived risks are minimal. I'm still concerned about long-term storage of waste, but not concerned people who can't judge risk accurately.
They mentioned in the conference call they anticipate $4 to $8 billion in supply chain related lost business in this quarter.

At 33% profit margin and using the mid-point of $6 billion that would cost them $2 billion in missed profit this quarter.
> ...because we all know that building more factories won't solve the supply chain issues due to the pandemic.

Wouldn't it be wise to start building more factories so that a supply chain disruption in one area doesn't cause such painful shortfalls in supply on a global scale? It seems like a China-free supply chain would be making bank right now. I guess you'd have to weigh the time to ramp that up versus the odds of China locking down severely again. Still, I would hope that a lasting consequence of this would be a diversification of supply chains to mitigate this kind of problem in the future.
Anything that the company hasn't done before:

- build a private cloud
- design a new microservices-based e-banking app
- sell the startup to a FAANG until the end of the year because it's running out of VC money
You used the qualifier "especially for design centered roles". I would maybe amend that to "only for design centered roles and a few others".

If I want to hire a hard core algorithm coder or a top level security specialist, I might not consider a neat and polished resume a negative signal, but I certainly wouldn't consider a less polished resume a negative signal. Because my experience with the type of people that are very good at those skills is that many couldn't care less about their profile photo or the font they use on their resume.
99% of Americans have PFAS in their blood made by Dupont and other companies. This is because the US allows corporations to invent new chemicals and sell them to the public without any regulation.

People all over the world now have PFAS in their bodies as a result of the capitalist rot in the US. We didn't ask for this, and yet we're all subjected to it. PFAS are forever chemicals that will last centuries.

If you’re “trading” the mortgage, you mark to market, but if you hold it for investment then you don’t (this is driven by bank capital requirements - if I need to go raise capital every time interest rates went up that would create huge problems (despite the credit staying the same (if not improving))

Umm, running a 1990s fortran code that's a CFD simulation is a "real" workload. Seems relatively likely that any floating point heavy code would act similarly. Hard to say if it's the matrix multiple or the memory bandwidth that's giving apple such a large lead.

Normally I'd discount using a 28 core Intel CPU from 2019, but from what I can tell Intel hasn't improved much since then. Keep in mind that Intel has a specialized vector unit (AVX256 or AVX512 depending on the model), and the listed CPU is pretty high end (with 6 memory channels) where the normal i5/i7/i9 is only 2.

So sure it's not a video compression, gaming, or web browing benchmark, but some folks do run floating point heavy codes. Unlike CUDA, which requires a rewrite, this code wasn't specifically optimized for the M1.
In fact Usenet is still very much alive for the purpose of evading said copyright laws

> What does it look like in an commercial airliner?

Depends. Unaccompanied animals are transported in the cargo hold, though I believe some care is taken (they're not just tossed in like luggage). Small animals can be taken with you if they will fit under the seat, on some airlines.
If that's not clear then I need to work on getting better about making jokes
I would want to see evidence to show blind is more than just a collection of anecdotes before calling it "data". In my (anecdotal, lol) experience the people who post on blind are a small subset that are way more likely to complain about things, sometimes unreasonably.
Ethereum makes no such guarantee after the introduction of delegatecall, where it's possible to replace one smart contract implementation with another.
While in general I agree with that philosophy, it doesn't really apply in this case.

When Orbit 1 was initially developed, Orleans was not open source, so the initial implementation was based off the Microsoft Research Whitepaper.

In our specific case, we had a lot of existing experience and services built on the JVM so adopting DotNet for Orleans (even if it had been available at the time) was not an option. The relative drop in priority for Orbit vs other projects was due to a need to dedicate more time to other parts of the platform.

As a large dev/publisher EA has a sizeable central technology group that develops everything from engines (Frostbite) to services (EA Digital Platform).

Ultimately I agree with the philosophy for smaller developers who are focused purely on making a game, but that's just not the reality at large companies and ultimately someone has to develop those services/engines.
"But if you're going to get indignant about people being hired based on looks then you'd better stop using sites more attractive than craigslist or products more attractive than crocs."

Your first point raised about someone caring about their looks and the way their presented is a good one. But this last quote is strange.. If you're being hired for a non customer facing role do you really think this craigslist comparison is a fair one? I can get as gussied up as I can for a photo, but is it fair that the guy that looks more like Jake Gyllenhaal got hired even though I have a better skill set?
What I'm reading in your description is that the process is designed to find cases where someone has patented the same thing before, but not designed to find things that should be fundamentally unpatentable ('obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art') and many other people are doing the similar thing in their products but not trying to patent it (because it shouldn't be patentable) and not explicitly writing it up in public blog posts with the exact same keywords.

Presuming that "ways to wirelessly share photos online such as through social media" has not been patented before, the best place to look for prior art would be the actual existing social media products which have ways to wirelessly share photos online instead of historical patent data; an effective search would have to be for actual prior art (i.e. products and solutions), not descriptions of prior art (patents and webpages).
Why does my 12 year old kindle-keyboard refresh so much faster and better than any eink hobby display that I can buy? Do you think there is any hope of this changing?

I have a link to the Discord server on the web page and I always have that open. Once every week or two someone will ask me something, usually really basic, about how to use the system. Mostly it seems like they want to make sure there is support for the product. So the questions are usually easy to answer.

People do also occasionally message me with feature requests or put them in the public room.

I will say though that the times I have directly asked groups of users what product or feature to build, I have mostly received crickets. Before I built the main product I practically begged a couple of Discord communities to tell me what they needed/wanted. It took awhile and I got a single response. I built that and then had everyone else in the community tell me how badly they had needed it.

I don't know what it is really but it can be like extracting teeth. But the sort of leaders may eventually give feedback.
On the one hand, I would suggest if that laptop you are using can be charged with a "powerbank": that would increase your "mileage". On the other, I am suspecting you are referring to an OLED display: contrary to LCDs, I have not yet seen a natural light friendly OLED and I suspect it would be drastically power inefficient.
Great feedback, others have mentioned this as well! I’ll try to add this as an option soon.
Great! Now let's see someone do that with kids.
They did a great job. I have enjoyed their port of Dune 2000 very much.
I found the opposite. People with simple utilitarian resumes tended to have more actual accomplishments, while people who focused on what their résumé looked like tended to have glaring issues they where trying to hide.

Though I suspect this varies quite a bit by role.
I'm one of the devs for that, thanks for mentioning it!
Yes, that does clarify a lot.

Full-time {{company}} employees might get a lot of benefits but if you're scheduled for a 36-hour week then you're a part-time {{company}} employee.
What about when it is a small group playing very low music such that it is quickly drowned out by the sound of the waves and the birds after 10 feet of distance. Headphones are actually impede their enjoyment of the situation there because
(a) they cannot easily talk to one another with headphones in
(b) they cannot enjoy the mixing sounds of nature and music. In many cases, folk music or classical music at low volume mixed with nature can be very enjoyable for people.

The problem here is you see no value to their enjoyment of these things and thus weight their enjoyment of such experience at zero while their interruption of your situation as an invasion. But if you force them to stop listening to music, you too are disrupting or invading their lives. That's the two-sided nature of any negative externality and attempts to internalize it. We all need to view this from the perspective of social costs and social benefits (i.e. a utilitarian perspective across all people's happiness). The result is almost always a compromise between the two extremes.

> around ~70% of the cost of solar installation is soft costs

This is incorrect, especially for solar farms

Panels are indeed only about 1/3 of the cost.
Additional components, labour, inverter, mounting - another 1/3.

The last third is indeed soft(ish) cost, but this includes profit (duh..), certification, survey, tax, fees, etc. This can be reduced, but it is not going to magically disappear ...

Another fun fact : newer mega farms in low-altitude deserts are considering no-axis no-mounting zero-tilt - just laying the panels on the ground ... It all comes down to cost vs yield

A nice project by the way. Did you ever compare the results to pre-calculated angles based on time/location/season?
I think it's pretty widely accepted at this point that Hunter Biden repeatedly attempted to peddle the influence of his father for personal profit. Whether he was ever successful at influencing his father or whether his father participated is less clear, but the emails from his laptop don't paint an encouraging picture.
