Usually a "vexatious litigant" is not one of these patent trolls, but some nut job who spends his days at the courthouse.

At Google I did a piece of research, along with a statistician, of whether it's better to settle or fight. "Better" would mean you don't get sued as much in the future, because you're a hard target and not easy mone

Cloudflare's redeemed themselves, bigtime. A lot of patent trolls have no assets, and don't own anything except the patents they're currently milking. Then they go out of business, and there's nothing to sue. Sable appar

It's nice you can use a dictionary. In the real world of universities, though, there's a clear distinction between professors, grad students, and Extension teachers. No matter what your dictionary says.

I have a microSD card in the phone, and it's great. When it works. When it doesn't, the CD always works. Always. But one does get sick of that CD. Bluetooth sucks.

Aside from the fact that you've got your negatives confused: Grad students' assistantships often require them to teach classes. It's not "a way to build favor with the professor," it's required for them to st

About 2018 I was helping with Operation Code (tech for vets) and doing their podcast. There was one guy who said he knew people in his bootcamp who got job offers before they were even finished. A number of my interviews got jobs that laste

Mixed feelings on this. I've taken Extension courses from UCSC and from Stanford, and was never under any illusion that the teachers were affiliated with the schools (although one was). For all of them, they tell you in the course desc

Thanks. Having a good average profit over a player's bets gives you a head start, but (a) the amount of their bets, (b) the number of players, and (c) their loyalty all determine your gross profit. All of those are factors you have to

There are some people who think everything is "a societal/political issue." But that one-dimensional view is boring. Life is more than politics.

Once, at 3Com, Bob Metcalfe introduced a talk by one of his MIT professors with the little joke, "The reason academic politics is so vicious is that nothing's at stake." The guy said, "That depends on whether you conside

Unfortunately, sometimes someone becomes a bad example. That doesn't make them a "scapegoat", the favored defense of people like that. A scapegoat is something that takes on all the sins of a lot of others who skate free. I
