Comments on the link suggest that this is a known patent troll outfit.
- grzm 9y agoYes, Intellectual Ventures is an IP outfit founded by Nathan Myrvold and Edward Jung, both from Microsoft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_Ventures https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_Ventures I think that's quite off-topic for the submission at hand, however. The article has little (nothing?) to do with intellectual property (other than perhaps copyright and authorship of Myrvold's upcoming book) or patents. If you want to consider this as a reason to discount the submission, please feel free. Perhaps even flag the submission if you feel it's inappropriate for HN. But please don't derail what could otherwise be an interesting conversation about bread, physics, and the history of cooking.
