Probably had to shut the database instance down once they exceeded the AWS free tier limits and realised that internet infrastructure actually costs real money and doesn't run on magical free fairy dust like the protesters seem to think.
Jack Daniels invented their distinctive design, and this was specifically imitating that. There is no owner of the concept of what an apple looks like, with or with a bite taken out of it, except for the specific logo images copyrighted by someone like a Apple Inc.

What’s relevant here is that the chance is illegally high that someone who looks at the general appearance of the dog toy but doesn’t take the time to read the actual words might think, “oh cool, Jack Daniels is releasing a dog toy!” rather than that another company is parodying Jack Daniels.

It’s exactly this kind of confusion which trademark law is meant to prevent. Even someone who reads the words on the toy might think, “oh cool, Jack Daniels has enough of a sense of humor to make fun of themselves on a dog toy.” It’s legitimately not obvious that the toy isn’t from them.

It just seemed like a bit of a nitpick in the context of the huge temporal consistency issues/fixes, of course you're all free to discuss whatever you want and I agree it's somewhat interesting.
There was a lot of conflation, but it was almost entirely from the people attempting to debunk it, using the bioweapon one to claim no leak could happen. It was like they just couldn't understand those were two different things no matter how much people said "no, that's not what I'm saying".
They've likely trademarked OmegaMart as the brand, instead of trademarking similar names to the brands they are parodying for each product. If that's the case, they will be in the clear.
I dont think its possible to make intelligent comments about mojo without going first not just through the influencer hyped no3 lex interview but also the earlier no2 interview that precedes the mojo launch by a few years.

The main point is that computing in the age of LLM and gpu/tpus and the semi-dead Moore's law is hitting a wall.

Climbing over that wall will take bold vision and skillful execution. There may be alternative ways to get to that next phase. The modular/mojo team is basically throwing down the gauntlet.
In the UK at least it you email agreeing to terms and then appear to be complying you're unlikely to get out of it.

Common examples are someone is sent a contract of employment unfortunately often after starting and they don't sign it. If they have been coming into work broadly in line with that contract so long as it's fair, employee and employer are bound by it.

Here is an interesting edge case in the UK [0]. Long story short if you give someone the ability to sign on your behalf and appear to consider parties bound by that it's binding.

In a personal sense, I send out appointment letters but my secretary does it for me. I consider myself as bound to that as if I arranged it myself. I gave the secretary latitude to book appointments for me, and I usually turn up to those appointments. If that letter is signed, or if it's by my hand. Doesn't legally matter as much as you'd imagine.

I'm rather sympathetic to the argument of targeting actually used BPPs and think the benchmarks should reflect that (so "low" should be something like covering ~90% of actual images rather than some more arbitrary number), as it's another point of confusion counting against this great new format.
Though I miss your last point - how would human experience be harmed by allowing using low BPPs?

The inability to be present has more to do with this artificially complex modern life we've engineered ourselves into, more than the trappings of our intellect.

Life was far more assuring, rewarding, bountiful, and meaningful if you were living in a small Native American community in the year 1400 and millions of bison roamed the plains, and the soil was the most fertile in the world, and you had a direct, non-abstracted, immediate relationship with every person in the community around you. All of your inputs lead to physically direct outputs.

And all of your biological wetware and quirks were designed and evolved to operate in this context. Hunting, foraging, moving your own body around, sleeping and waking with the sun, having non-digital relationships, eating whole foods from the earth.

And it's not to say life never had its struggles. But it was certainly more biologically consistent and natural than what we've turned it into.
> lliberal societies are also suffering from the same phenomenon

There's one major historical outlier from the whole industrialized societies not having children trend -- the Soviet Union. Like everywhere else industrialized, the fertility rate in the 50s and 60s fell from traditional pre-industrial levels (4 - 5 per woman) down to about 2.5 (just above replacement). It then stayed there until the collapse of the USSR, at which point it plummeted well below replacement in most of the successor states, and has never recovered. (Similar story in East Germany and the rest of the Bloc.)

The USSR had many problems, but employment security and time off, a basic roof and food security for young families, was not among them; it was cheap and practical to have kids.

Almost nothing uses UTF-EBCDIC by default, db2 (and the underlying VSAM persistent storage) mostly ends up writing UTF-16 (but you can set it up to write UTF-8); except for internal catalog data and network traffic, that are usually UTF-8 no matter what.
> What if politicians start trademarking their names and faces and start suing people for talking shit?

I think if you start a business and trademark a slightly distorted version of their face for your business, yes, you’ll face problems.

The 1st amendment protections for being able to talk shit about a politician seem in no danger from this ruling.
Those are two wildly different things.

I’m almost positive that Instagram also has those sort of embedded promotions/ads, which are generally done outside of the official platform. But they also have a metric shitton of actual ads, within their own platform, that they queued up.
I think it’s possible that the endless renaming treadmill isn’t actually helpful. If you’re already onboard, sure it keeps things spicy, but if you’re not it’s alienating and frankly it’s anti-accessible.

To wildly generalize, my understanding is that one of the (legal) components for parody is that you need to be actually commenting on the thing you're parodying. Just referencing something that exists in pop culture doesn't mean it's protected parody.

I.e. this dog toy wasn't saying anything about Jack Daniels. It was just a dog toy that looked like a dog-poop themed bottle of Jack Daniels. If it was part of some general message of "Jack Daniels is dogshit", I believe that it'd have been unambiguously protected.
I would add a small counterpoint to your second point. For me, reddit is becoming pretty essential in my life. Since Google has been taken over by blogspam and ads, I struggle to find reviews or opinions of things I buy or use. I use google to search reddit to find comments relating to thing I'm interested in. Those comments might be astroturfing or paid support too, but it's easier to sus that out by searching past comments and painting a picture of the user. It's not perfect, but it's much better than trusting the authenticity of random blogs save a few I have bookmarked.
Relatedly, I tried checking my comment history on reddit now, and most of its missing (out of a few hundreds (or maybe thousands of comments) there's like ... 15 left.

So, my guess is that there's more blowing up with reddit right now than just the blackout.
I can't edit this comment after 5 days but anybody coming along and find this - the multiplier is very close to 1. Go up a bit and find the sibling comment with the four links. Very good explanation of the difference between the monocular binocular FoV is buried within.

No, they don't have to actually trademark it themselves. It means that the Supreme Court said "this parody product is more of a commercial product than an artistic expression". Therefore, go back and argue about trademark law (which concerns itself with commercial products) and not copyright law (which concerns itself with expression).

Now, if they didn't mass produce the product and try to sell it, that would be different. Painted a dog playing with the toy and post that picture on the internet: 1st amendment.
Chances are, the investment bank looked at Reddit's financials and said "Here's the IPO price we can hit", and Reddit's execs realized it would be well below the amount they thought their stocks option packages would be worth.
If you don't follow a lot of subreddits, then they regularly pester you to follow some, or a stupid live stream of something or the other, or other similar stuff designed to increase "engagement".

There's 3.5 million subs.

That's 87% of ~8000, not the whole of Reddit.
I agree, but without a way to detect it or control it, it would be hard to enforce.

> If I look at that dog toy, I understand that it's clearly referencing JD, but it also seems obviously evidently clear that it's not JD, nor do I think people would assume it was produced by JD

I disagree with that, and so did the Supreme Court justices. Companies put out "side products" of their own all the time. Think about Tesla's flamethrower, or their tequila. I could easily imagine a liquor company putting out some good-natured pet products that imitated their primary brand.
IMO, the problem is that people have to worry about individual blame and consequences for not being risk-averse enough, but not for being too risk-averse.

> A dual license is not IF/THEN/ELSE, it's pick $mit or $commercial--your call.

No, it can be both. As the originator of the work, you are free to grant licenses based on qualifications. It's done all the time. I can't choose Adobe's student licence because I'm not a student.

So is this what's held back dual licensing and OS authors profiting? If the buyer could just freely choose of course it's broken.

(edit)

Just to add, even Oracle's license isn't completely free for the user to choose. Depending on the plans or policies of the buyer, they are restricted to their choices. So an IF statement exists.
Although that leads to the mother of all natural selection - after a few generations, you'll have selected almost exclusively for families that have lots of kids. My bet is that fertility will flatten out and recover a good bit over the next few decades.
2023 UFO Claims by David Grusch
That could be an increase in reporting. After all you'd expect the uptick to happen in 2020-- it was COVID-19 after all.

Also worth to know that anti-asian hate was also a narrative pushed by the CPC to label things like supporting Hong Kong democracy protests or criticizing uighur genocide as "anti-asian hate", which happened after the CPC noticed the effectiveness of BLM protests in sowing us discord (mid-2020) so to trust any stats post 2020 it would at least need to segregate the two use cases.
Writing Great Documentation – Jacob Kaplan-Moss
The cost is not in the servers (even though that costs money too, obviously).

90% of costs of places like Facebook are wages and various other expenses that you need too once you are running operation at a similar scale.

E.g. you do need to pay for a large team of lawyers because you are dealing with a ton of copyright takedowns, cease and desists, even lawsuits every single day.

The same with large team of moderators/content reviewers because in many countries people posting illicit content (with the definition of illicit being different by country!) may get your business blocked/shut down in that country. Including seizure of domain, any hw you may there, etc.

Add to that various regulatory compliance (e.g. the the GDPR once you are above certain size), engineers to run and maintain the systems, security team to deal with any attacks that happen 24/7, accountants, secretaries, even janitors and cleaners to keep the offices habitable.

Those are the actual costs. Not your puny server in a closet.
First and foremost, who are you talking to?

Second, keep it plain and succinct. No convolution. No wordwalls.

Third. Use pictures and diagrams whenever possible.

You are absolutely right, and one should prefer languages that can give such guarantees wherever possible.

But often one doesn't have a choice. People still write software in inferior languages such as Javascript or Python, where you cannot even be sure about a return or parameter data type.

That's really an unhelpful bit of pedantry.

Edit: Maybe my sentiment is unpopular. I read the comment and thought that "oil" clearly was a standing for fossil fuels in general. I don't see how it could be read to be saying "oil is bad but coal and gas are OK" and thought the reply suggesting this was the case wasn't really in good faith. But I may have been mistaken!

Surfing close to Robert Horn's Information Mapping. Which is a useful construct, but it's a dangerous idea to think that content information types just sort of live . . out there, somewhere. Content typing will always be context - dependent, which, well, can boil down to "know your audience". But the content types aren't General Truth, they do need audience to be defined, which is where I disagree with the DITA folks.

The author views life through the lens of a hedonist, and finds that stoicism is better to deal with the tough times. They don't use any of these terms, which makes me think they are independently coming to the same conclusion as the Stoics. Seems pretty basic.

> There’s an elderly gentleman who works at the local pharmacy store.

This drives me crazy. You don't know anything about this guy. One time I took an airport shuttle and the driver was ancient, the bus was empty and we started chatting. He loves driving the bus, he does this to stay busy, he's retired but enjoys having a purpose and talking to people (such as myself). He told me all about his kids and their careers.

My point is you have absolutely no idea why anyone does anything, unless you ask them. Projecting sadness onto strangers says more about yourself than the subject.
> A more difficult example might be a t-shirt with a Google logo on it that has something "funny" about Google written below.

I think a more exact comparison would be, say, a t-shirt with a fluffy Google logo and the text changed to say "Poodle". It's not really saying anything about Google, it's just using Google-related imagery mashed up with dog-related imagery.
Reading the article, I believe the SCOTUS decision is not making any claim whether the toy violates JD's trademark. Rather, they are deciding that the lower court's ruling that it did not violate was invalid because that court applied a rule that it shouldn't have. So it will probably be re-tried without that rule applied, and a jury (or judge or whoever) will then decide whether it violates under that revised understanding of the law. The argument you're making would be relevant to that trial, not the appeal that SCOTUS just ruled on.

In general, appeals courts such as SCOTUS never decide on the facts of the case. They only determine whether a lower court "screwed up" somehow, and can reverse rulings or offer re-trials if so.

Relevant quotes from the article:

> But in a 9-0 decision, the justices said a precedent known as the Rogers test for assessing the use of trademarks in artistic expression did not apply to VIP's products, reversing a U.S. appeals court

> The Rogers test is "not appropriate when the accused infringer has used a trademark to designate the source of its own goods - in other words, has used a trademark as a trademark," Justice Elena Kagan wrote.

> The whiskey maker will still have to prove VIP's toys are likely to confuse potential customers into thinking it was affiliated with them in order to win its infringement case.

As someone who prefers working in fast paced environments and have responded to calls like this in the past, I have found that people who say "I want someone who moves fast" often are really bad at managing and have unrealistic views of how long things take. People who write that phrase might think they have Steve Jobs reality distortion fields, but are mostly deluded. The fact that this particular posting was made by someone who actually walks the walk is not obvious - I don't judge people by what they say but what they do.

All I'm saying is that this would have been mildly intriguing because of the ecommerce angle, which was a new problem at the time, but would require sussing out of the Bezos fellow to see if he's the real deal or deluded. Hindsight is 20/20, but if you were reading this blind in 1994 you wouldn't say "WOW This is an AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!", but, if you were the right person, "Hmm, this could be interesting, I want to hear more". I actually find this pretty interesting and cool that the first call was so banal.

I took a look at the OmegaMart store, and I'd agree with you in this instance.

But in general, I don't think that just using a distinct brand is enough - it's all about probable customer confusion, which is really something that determined on a case-by-case basis.

Those 3rd party apps have mod tools built in that have been requested for years by moderators and never implemented by reddit.

The official apps and tooling is paltry in comparison, and rarely used because 3rd party tools have done the job. Even basic things like mod queue in the mobile apps is not a thing in the official app.

“Mod tools” in the way it’s been defined by Reddit is an extremely small category of apps which doesn’t adequately cover the tools mods actually use to do their unpaid job.

Reddit has committed to fixing this, sure. But they’ve also said that for the last few years and ignored the most basic of features so why should mods trust that they’ll actually stick to their promises this time, when they haven’t for many, many years?
