> But should we really spend mental energy to protect trademarked brands from becoming generic terms ?

It's not a case of that, IMO. I certainly say 'a hoover' or 'hoovering' sometimes, when it isn't one and I've never owned one. I do balk at 'legos' though, and it's simply because I'm British.

For whatever reason we just decided differently across the Atlantic how to refer to the items: here, 'lego bricks'; there 'legos'. (In the singular too, 'a lego brick', not 'a lego', it just sounds weird to me.)

It's not the trademark becoming generic thing, because even when it is 'a Lego' we don't call it that. It's a lego brick.
I was one of the forecasters in this market, and my forecasts were blown out of the water.

One thing to note that this blog post skips over is that the questions placed ceilings on the standard deviation of submitted predictions, which means that individual forecasts were constrained to be artificially narrow. Therefore, don't read as much into the distributions as the means.

There are many many very difficult parts to novel drug developments, and I'm not saying they will have success finding something that doesn't infringe and also scales. What I'm saying is that the strategy of doing everything yourself with startup level funding and experience is not optimal, and you can save money and time by outsourcing at the beginning.
What categories of freelancers are you targeting?
This comment is completely detached from reality. Our education system is broken and archaic but not for the reasons provided. It's an idealized view of reality and history not indicative of what's actually happening.

For one this isn't a matter of scale, most school systems are enormous and structured like most large bureaucracies. Which is the root of the problem.
Is this a shock?

- Low pay. For STEM fields, you can easily make far more in industry.

- Decreasing resources and investment from the community.

- Decreasing freedom in what you teach and how you choose to teach it.

- Half of parents see you as a babysitter, and the other half sees you as the only obstacle between their child and Harvard.

- High scrutiny of your actions. What you do outside of working hours can affect your job (e.g. having a drink at a bar or posting on Facebook). In our polarized society, anything that's slightly political could cost you your career.

- If you're male, expect heavier scrutiny. People will always suspect that you could be a child predator.

- Fear of school shootings.

EDIT:

And I almost forgot:

- A society where somewhere between 20-50% of people are skeptical of your value and unhappy with your profession today.
Government manufacturing consumer goods is by definition Communism. Communism has been tried before in many places, and it never worked out well.

This manufacturing plan may bring some short-term results, but long-term cheap tax-payer funded insulin will destroy competition and ultimately make insulin more expensive. There might also start a black market smuggling cheap CA-produced insulin outside CA.

I don't know why the CA politicians could not decide to investigate what trends caused insulin to get so expensive, and to introduce programs to make it easier for existing manufacturers to produce cheaper and for new manufacturers to enter the market.
> California also gets a lot wrong that interferes with tech: … incredible corruption…

Indeed, it is literally “incredible”. What passes for corruption in California wouldn’t even be worth noticing on the older states of the east coast, especially the north east. I’ve lived in both.
This is really sad, he was a great leader of the world's top country Japan!
I'm wondering if the "spiral" dome style has more use cases.
I had never heard of the Sanrizuka Struggle. It feels crazy and sad to learn that the airport I arrived at for my move to Japan was on land to be used without consent of the local residents... And I had absolutely no idea of it. Thank you.
Why shit jobs stay with low pay? Because market economy is disrupted and there's no pressure to raise the pay.

In normal countries with social safety net (assuming Canada is one of them), those who do „shit jobs with low pay“, end up receiving from the state more than they pay in taxes.
Another good point of comparison for the bullet train system is Spain. California is currently projecting to spend $105 billion for 520 miles of track. By contrast Spain built over 2000 miles of track for $72 billion.
For a cruise ship it seems like a bargain. I don't think you can expect to support thousands of passengers off $5000 / month
If the EU finds royalty-free patent ceasefire clauses to be anti-competitive, then the entire foundation of standards-based interoperability for the web is at stake. These schemes underlie everything—even something as simple as addEventListener('touchstart'). And the entire realm of software encoding schemes has been poisoned by patent royalty schemes for far too long. I cannot think of anything worse for the state of media encoding on the web than regulator intervention to maintain that status quo.
It’s not an exclusive list; a lot of states have good tech universities. But it’s a pretty objective evaluation. Ask a tech employer anywhere.
I’m confused, in the post it seemed like you said you don’t do PR reviews, but here it seems like you’re saying you do, except for emergencies.
But does it create a good springboard for language design?
Not a given. Adding more warm bodies has never made a difference especially in research. All of modern academia is an example.
You are comparing the worst countries with a rich, average country to make said country look like the safest, which is deceiving.
The rankings beg to disagree - https://www.niche.com/k12/search/best-public-high-schools/. Even the best schools in California are not as good as the other state's top schools. It doesn't help that 18%!!! of students in California's public education system are ESL. That's not due to Visa & green-card immigrants.
Read more carefully. Or, stay flabbergasted! Flabbergasting can be very satisfying.
I’m not in a high cost of living area at all.

The teachers I know barely make enough to live alone even after years and having multiple degrees. If they do they have to be thrifty about it.

God forbid they have an unexpected big expense.

I’ve seen the raise schedule. It’s basically peanuts for a very long time. Pay might be ok after 15 years, but that’s a lot of sacrifice. And assumes low inflation/no new contract ruining things.

Everything about the job seems to suck. But 80% of it seems like the parents. Between those they treat the teachers and how many don’t control/discipline their kids making the teachers life miserable… this isn’t going away.
Then why didn’t other states also do as well with everything in their favor?

AV1 is open source and patent free, and the AOMedia group also has Mozilla and Xiph as founding members along with those three.

If this antitrust investigation actually exists, the EU can properly get bent, and should stop shilling for the MPEG patent pool.
It probably cost Starlink about the same to provide a link to a home or mobile link? seems wayyy overpriced @ $5k/month for a boat
No, middle-income countries like Vietnam and Iran underwent the demographic transition too!
Mocked is probably a bit strong,. I was definitely pointing out the irony a bit sarcastically that virtually everything (excepting healthcare) in Canada is more expensive than the US. Right now, at least 31% more expensive.
But it is supposed to be a tool for facilitating edication...

You also missed the part of the cycle that blames parents. The bureaucratic nature of modern school, lack of proper incentives or completion are the fertilizers of mediocrity.
In Japan people are officially declared dead in hospital. The media will often report clearly dead people as being in a state of "carido-pulmonary arrest".

Then perhaps you should amend your original statement about "most" crimes being swept under the rug.
Sounds like these clinics are simply not charging enough, and not paying staff enough either. If they are choked with excessive demand then why not just increase prices until equilibrium is reached?
Some parents: don't trust teachers to educate their kids with verifiably accurate history and science because it might make them feel guilty or conflict with their religious beliefs

Same parents: trust those same teachers implicitly with firearms to protect their kids from shooters wielding the AR-15s that they refuse to restrict or ban.

We have teachers who are under assault from forces beyond their control from parents, from politicians, and from nuts with military weaponry while their wages have largely remained stagnant and outstripped by the cost of living. Meanwhile, we live in an administrative fantasy land where somehow schools need a dozen assistant principals and superintendents who literally could not find a job outside of academia are pulling in $300K+ even from poor districts.

They'd get far more traction, at least about school security, if they banded together and told parents that their kids are getting thrown into hallways the second they hear an active shooter is on campus. We can have ten dozen shootings and nothing will change, but have one where it's the kids that are the human shields and people will suddenly find that spark of common sense that has long been abandoned.

Just that no place is as pristine as people initially make out to be. There’s always a hidden underbelly, it’s just human nature to have one. So it wouldn’t be surprising that a determined person can get a gun in any place on the planet.
Even if you have a 100% sound and demonstrably better idea that fixes all current issues I dare you to explain how you’d get anyone to accept and agree to implement it.
This looks more like opinion piece (or book excerpt) though it's not marked as such - I mean it's by Serhii Plokhy, whose book is advertised in the end of the article.

> Xorg [...] allowed arbitrary stuff to build on top.

Same as wayland.

> If wayland results in a monoculture of desktop environments, that will be a regression.

It isn't, because you have everything that's ported to Wayland _and_ everything that's ported to X11. So it's the opposite of a monoculture.
I do not in fact think we would benefit by having everything we want to say about our security mediated through AICPA auditors, even the excellent ones we work with. We'll write our own security documentation for prospects that care about how our security engineering works as well as whether we're SOC2-certified.

Bear in mind you're talking to someone who had a non-ironic debate about whether we oughtn't just do repeated Type I audits, year after year.
In the stipulated Lora bands in most countries generally you get increased wattage allowable, but only allowed to transmit 1% of the time, or similar.

This is less punitive than it seems, especially with the preamble "chirp" you can keep a link "alive" with a handful of seconds every ten minutes or so, without transmitting a message.

If the Rx woke up once a minute for a few seconds on a synched clock, then you are never more than a minute away from a message. This also aids in power management for battery life.

I am not sure how it would be policed, and what time period is acceptable for measuring, eg per hour, or is it ok one weekend a year at 20% continuous duty cycle, and technically is it per device or per user, and so on. (I think I know the reasonable answers to these questions, just saying).

But intent obviously is with higher power and range to ensure a minimum number of devices can operate in a given region.

But you can broadcast, so one transmission can hit many other users, and they could re-broadcast on your behalf as a store and forward type protocol, all for one transmission by you.
Is TikTok the problem though? Kids can Google whatever they want and find harmful things.

This challenge was a thing in middle school back in 2006 but we didn't have phones then.
> "The Commission has information that AOM and its members may be imposing licensing terms (mandatory royalty-free cross licensing) on innovators that were not a part of AOM at the time of the creation of the AV1 technical, but whose patents are deemed essential to (its) technical specifications," read the questionnaire.

Cross licensing is the whole point for creating a free (as in beer) standard body.
There are too many existing patent in this field.
If mandatory cross-licening is seen as a problem, it will be impossible to create new video standard.
I'm not sure hunting deer in Nara is allowed (it IS known a "deer city" and deer freely roam the streets. Maybe permitted outside of the city), but of all places where someone could have a shotgun - Nara is definitely one of them.
I don't want this to devolve into political posturing nonsense, but an absolutely huge majority of the alt-right that rail on and on about "woke" politics refer to themselves as "Zionists", call any support of Muslims and/or criticism of Israel "anti-semitic" and are not Jewish.

Making that assumption about him because he calls himself a Zionist is absolutely not a sound leap in logic.

Also, from a cursory look at his publicly available family history, his line has been in the US for at least 200+ years, so I would very seriously doubt anything you assumed was true.

Lastly, someone's heritage has very little bearing on their words and actions. While it may be worth considering when things are ambiguous, it doesn't really apply to a situation like this at all.
Don't know if this is directly related but the last time I fetched 9,000 elements to a select list, my browser went HRNGHHHH (on an M1 Macbook Pro). (No, 9,000 elements in a select list was not intentional.)
Because California wants to drive the price down. With this system there will both be more supply in the California market and as an investor and part owner, the state can influence the price much more directly.

Whether or not it works remains to be seen. But driving down the price, both for the end consumers and California state insurance providers is the goal.
Any economics policy will have winners and losers.
I'm quite liberal on most topics, but I dreaded expecting to read that California state government was going to spin up some office of pharma manufacturing with all the state employees that entails.

Thank god it's only talking about hiring a contract manufacturer to do this.

Next, the question is, will it institute enough protections that someone doesn't take advantage of the cheap prices and sell them for profit elsewhere...
The pager is bringing humans in for the sanity check.
You're quite right, though the police said that he was still conscious and responsive when he was put into the ambulance and the government is only saying his condition is "severe and he's lost consciousness":

> 警察当局によりますと、安倍元総理大臣は、救急搬送される際には意識があり、呼びかけにも応じていたということです。

> 政府関係者はNHKの取材に対し「意識はなく容態はかなり悪いという報告を現場から受けている」と話しています。

But if he still hasn't reached hospital, it seems pretty dire. It seems very possible he's already died.

EDIT: And now the government is saying they don't know his current condition[1]:

> 松野官房長官は総理大臣官邸で記者団に対し「安倍元総理大臣の容態は現在のところ不明で、引き続き確認中だ」と述べました。

Reform is not as simple as 'more' or 'less' regulation. A web of rules and processes can be quite permissive yet so complicated as to cause gridlock. Or they can mess up markets, create perverse incentives, or drive up (or down!) costs.

Regardless of what you think about how to manage going forward, it's hard to argue that current policies are working well. PG&E sells electricity to residential customers in Northern California at approximately 3x the national average price. By comparison, if you're in Oregon (right next door with similar climate, resources, and topography) your power is typically right around (or even slightly cheaper) than the national average. And it's less likely to go out in windy weather. As far as I can tell, PG&E is precisely the company you would expect to get out of the regulatory environment in which it operates (e.g., you guarantee fixed margin on opex and a larger fixed margin on capex, obviously the power company is driven to maximize costs and minimize maintenance). So I blame the regulators more than PG&E.

I don't see how this is overly TikTok's fault. Kids can go online and Google almost anything they like and find things much more disturbing. But is Google responsible for that?

This challenge was something we did back in middle school in 2006, we didn't have mobile phones at all in school back them.

> Growing up in Australia, calling a teacher by their first name as a student was incredibly disrespectful and worthy of being sent to the principal if done repeatedly

Same in US. I have been out of school for a long time, but this was definitely was not something you did without consequences.
I'm not sure this fully tracks. A type of public transit failed in California that succeeded elsewhere. If that is the reference, why can't I point to the tech industry and use it as positive evidence?

And, most of the bad things you are bringing up are happening all throughout the US. Just feels too convenient to say that the tech industry is in spite of the government, but the failures are because of it.
You can fire someone with no notice. Layoffs require notice, for some legal reason.
"Some stat" here translates to millions, maybe tens of millions of dollars every minute at Amazon scale.

If you were running a business and suddenly started losing a million dollars a minute, wouldn't you like to have someone investigate why that's happening?
That film of his, Evil Will Hunting, did poorly
wlroots is really not that mature, and it's sort of a too-little-too-late situation. A lot of DEs are just never going to get around to switching to Wayland, but that doesn't mean they're going to stop development either. That's a pretty considerable fragmentation that people shouldn't take lightly.

My example of a project doing this well is PipeWire. They looked at the Linux audio scene at the time (arguably worse than xorg on many accounts) and created a replacement that both supported old paradigms while simultaneously promoting lower-latency, higher-quality ways to connect. Wayland should have taken the same approach: it's never going to kill it's past, so it may as well adopt it. If I could use Wayland as a compositor while keeping x11 as my window server, I would. I wouldn't get the "full security" of Wayland, but I'd be onboard with their project if the maintainers weren't so allergic to user choice.
I appreciate this post. Thanks.

And after debating gun violence all week with my friends in the wake of the 4th of July shooting in Highland Park I made an example of Japan and it’s low gun violence. Now this happens.

Crazy stuff still happens in Japan but it’s usually a knife or ax. But guns and Abe are on another level.

For those not familiar with the space, how significant an impact is this, particularly at Google scale?
Banning profiting from FOSS apps entirely isn't the way to get rid of the junk apps. It blocks legitimate original developers from funding development through the app store. Krita is an example of this.

The junk apps you mention are already violating trademarks and copyrights, so Microsoft should just make it easy to report those violations and get the apps taken down and added mechanisms to prevent those junk apps from reappearing, like blocking all "Inkscape" apps except the one from account of the trademark holder.

If their concern was the different price between the app store and other ways to get the app, then they should have simply required developers to refer to those other ways from the app store itself, or allowed developers to set an app as pay-what-you-want plus the Microsoft cut, or both.
Check the sources here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_influence_on_the_peace_...

It has been claimed many times by Soviet defectors. Every defector from GRU or and high-profile officers from the KGB claimed so. It is very hard to prove, but it is so extremely serving to the USSR.

Peace meant unilateral disarmament and abandonment of nuclear technology - how convenient. Today the claims by some politicians in Europe that "aiding Ukraine prolongs the war" are a similar trope of Russian origin.

Back in the Cold War one of the policies the "Peace movement" advocated was "nuclear-free zones" in Western countries. The USSR encouraged organisations by providing funds and used its propaganda arms to aid the movement (conveniently keeping quit on its own arrangements).
California has very, very low real estate tax.

That drives real estate values higher, and creates a big tax divide between owners and renters.
Free stuff isn't actually free. It gets paid for with inflation.
I've lived in a few countries, but when I was on the East Coast I wasn't anywhere near noticing this. Happy to grant the point that it's better than the older economies of the East.
Interesting, but if my legal information is still shared with the company, what are the benefits of getting paid in crypto?
Pardon me for making an outsider's observation, but it appears to me that in Japan you have either extremely safe and no crime / complete safety and courtesy (most of the time), or 0.1% of the time some guy goes off his rocker and kills many, many people or something like this.
> Literally no one here cares though. Brits tends to hold the opinion that if you just don't say or do the wrong things you'll be fine.

Well, not just Brits, roughly whole world holds the same opinion. The difference I see is one group tries with using laws to ban wrong things other group uses hectoring and shaming social media companies to do "right thing" by banning wrong speech. And then partisan hacks jump in, claiming how one of this is obviously right thing to do.
That would be nice, but so far it's going in the wrong direction
