This pairs really well with the earlier, more general article: https://stephenmann.io/post/whats-in-a-production-web-applic... I'm a bit new to this, but I found the concept/discussion of immutable infrastru

Was there ever any doubt? What a joke ( and waste of time and resources ). At this point I'm surprised Pai bothered to release a statement.

Wonder how useful this might be for space travel. Spaceships are essentially thermos bottles (metal tube surrounded by vacuum). So lots of surface with large temperature differences.

A corollary to this great answer, which I hope is apparent, is to get a lawyer who has experience with this sort of deal. A good one will be able to advise you through the whole process and tell you when they see red flags. Worst case you

Selection bias is real here. I thought dbl quotes smart for all the reasons in the readme. Me commenting 'this is great' is just noise on HN, and discouraged by the rules. Never take self-selected anything as truth, especially co

Fair enough. You'd be surprised how well this stuff is priced in on the merits. Plenty of ex IP attorneys like me working in and for financial institutions evaluating these petitions. Not all patents are good. Not all are bad. But do

The courts do. Nearly every invalidity decision by the PTAB is appealed to the Federal Circuit. Now, the standard of review from the Board is more deferential than from a typical court, but this is for a reason: The panels at the PTAB h

Hi. This is legally incorrect. All inter partes review decisions are subject to judicial review by the Federal Circuit. The standard applied by the Courts is called "substantial evidence." To dumb down the standard (it is only

Raytracing is sort of like nuclear fusion: a few years away for my entire life. Not clear what changed yet.

That 'regulation' is the fourth amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the 200+ years of accumulated case law describing what is and is not appropriate. Individual notions of fundamental rights aside, very recent cases have addres

I actually think Reddit nailed the balance for subreddits[1], even if it is a little more forum-ey than the social sites you mentioned. I understand that might change soon, which is a shame. [1] excepting /r/spackd--ks[2], as it a

Love this because it shows two things 1) competent people are handling problems and 2) they actually care. A whole lot better than spoon feeding customers bullshit for weeks while hamstringing your product rather than investing in it (looks

That's a patently ridiculous straw man. No single payer system in the world operates that way.

It's not uncommon for investigative subpoenas to be under seal. But to be fair I have no idea how these particular agencies operate.

by pkilgore 9y ago
Hows that? It's my understanding that in a single payer system you are still allowed to pay for whatever you want or buy supplemental insurance to cover types of care the baseline single payer system will not.

What resolution screen? I love the screen on my precision 5520 (basically the same computer) but I'm having a hell of a time with DPI scaling with distros I've tried.

by pkilgore 9y ago
My biggest problem is that with these screens Linux hiDPI support for fractional scaling is just bad. Sure, you can hack it. And unity, for it's failings, pretty much just works. But the rest of the space is horrendous.

Your last paragraph sounds odd to an attorney... an appeal is essentially a continuation of the same trial. Really the big problem is that double Jeopardy is a criminal law concept, so Saunders' argument makes no sense. Civil litigatio
