Actually they were business people who have been through this battle before spending in the six figures to defend their marks (along with my brother who is a patent attorney). But yes, you are correct that sending a letter is the first step

The system is a mess. I have a small side project and I trademarked the name, yet a competitor of mine used my trademark to promote their site and after speaking with several people about my situation they made it clear that unless I was wi

Absolutely! We are way past the time, at least in the U.S., to not have a guaranteed basic income system of some type (that includes at least basic health care).

Xamarin's value proposition is developing for multiple platforms at once (or at least, as a current Xamarin user, sharing as much as possible between platforms). Swift still offers nothing for that scenario so I don't really under

No problem and good luck with the site! It looks nice and I definitely hope to see more job boards focused on remote work only succeed!

The job board is RemoteCoder but already looked at a Rails/EmberJS job posting and they are looking for candidates "hopefully" within 2 cities they mention and definitely within Australia. If a remote job board is to succeed,

I don't think that encourages spending....I think that encourages offshore bank accounts and the like. Anyhow, I'd think that anyone with any type of massive windfall is pretty thoroughly invested so in some capacity it is contrib

Spending doesn't do as much as starting or investing in new companies or even philanthropy itself. Gates and Pickety agree on the estate tax which would help for people trying to sit on their wealth and simply pass it along to their he

So naturally, and not to be insensitive, but this rule goes out the window when someone famous dies? I've seen the front page of HN covered with stories about Steve Jobs death (amongst others)?

Doesn't "item" denote the actual article that's posted, not the subject of that article. This is a strange definition of duplicate if you can't post different stories about the same topic. Don't we encourage mu

There was nothing ad hominem about my post at all. Oh well...so goes HN these days.

He deserves no such applause. The fact that he recanted his position so quickly shows that he literally put no research/effort into his initial article that was published not just on a small personal blog, but on the Washington Post&#x

I haven't read that one, but I'll definitely check it out. I'd also recommend Charles Petzold's book called "Code". One of the best technical books I've ever read! http://www.amazon.com/Cod

Technically sure...but playing the semantic game, find me a registrar that advertises the ability to purchase a domain as "renting".

Only if said glitches were noticed during the auction and you took preventative steps to not notify any winners and explained the situation immediately to all participants. After announcing a winner and accepting money the deal is done!

The wealth disparity that is increasing is mostly due to investments and an extremely low capital gains tax. We can't just increase the income tax because the wealthiest 1% probably don't even have much of an income...they have ca

True, but we are talking about things like candy bars. Kids can pick up a candy bar and not realize that a candy bar that contains THC is any different than a regular candy bar. Not to mention that the candy bar may contain extreme dosages

I'm not in Colorado but I saw one of the downsides the other day which is the manufacture of items like candy bars with multiple serving sizes of THC in the one bar. People aren't paying much attention to the serving sizes and the

I'm not a fan either but I must admit I've taken advantage of offers presented to me in this fashion before. Some shopping sites will do this. If you've added items to the cart then go to close the page they'll offer an

That is actually not true. Any software you develop whether on company time or not belongs to you UNLESS you sign some type of intellectual agreement with the company prior to the development of that work.

That is not logically equivalent. One group is trying to deny another group rights...the other group just wants to be treated equally under the law. Eich, unfortunately, is on the wrong side of history here and he suffered a consequence bec

Again, this is not a "political belief". Actively, and I say actively because he donated money for his cause, denying a group of people rights because you disagree with their lifestyle is bigoted. We wouldn't call it a politi

I spend a lot of time in many different languages, but right now I'm working on a personal project with C# MVC backend (API) and EmberJs on the front side. Great experience on both accounts!

I wouldn't call denying certain groups of people rights a "political view". It's not a political view to say that a black person shouldn't be afforded the same rights as a white person...it's racism. Call Brand

Well, that's what happens I guess when you spend all day working on one problem and stop to check HN and randomly comment...guess I was too tired to realize what the parent comment actually said!

Source? Edit: Curious why the downvote, I ask a legitimate question to the parent to provide a source that the command pattern is the most utilized architecture in the industry so please don't downvote without an explanation.

I don't think they randomly spam, but sometimes when you login to Google+ it will show you a large window of all your google contacts that are not in your circles with an easy way to invite all of them. It's easy to accidentally c
