They weren't a thing inside the USA unless you loaded up on premium movie and sports channels. From 2004~2018 I always paid around 45-60 for basic cable. Sometimes less if I bundled with internet.

Reddit has a culture that normalizes the symptoms of social anxiety. They call it introversion, but the way its described is 100% social anxiety. I am sympathetic, I have it too. Hell, ever male in my dad's family line seems to have it

Some basically give you a “bonus” (or even part of your salary) that is just given in the form of a mandatory 401k contribution. At one company, my salary was stated as X, but it was really .97X plus .03X 401k contribution.

I find the profession prior art search firms; global, CPA, Cardinal, Nordic, etc. are pretty garbage. I always use one for my cases, but I, the attorney actually writing the IPR/invalidity contentions, have generally found the best art

Maybe they did think they were helping. But their threats and denouncement of him were likely harmful. IMO, an apology just looks like an admission of guilt in this case.

Free speech on campus does actually mean freedom from consequences from the administration. Yale might not have to allow free speech on its campus, but it purports to. And what they did was a violation of that principle. And while the oth

Junior lawyers are often CC’d on things they are primarily responsible for due to opaque team structures. You cannot assume CC emails are lower priority in that job.

It’s probably model by model. My brother inkjet was just as bad as a hp. Wouldnt print black if color was low, error codes from generic ink. I got a brother laser that doesn’t complain about generic toner.

Jerrycans are about 5 gallons and people tend to have only 1-3 of them. The nationwide capacity to store gas (in reasonable contentions) is probably pretty low compared to average sales.

Depends what the person's employment contract says. 95% of the time, the inventor is required to assign all rights to inventions related to the companies' work to the company. So you have inventor: Steve Wozniak; assignee: Apple

Corporate personhood is a misunderstood issue. They aren’t treated like a natural person. Corporations for example can’t be inventors on a patent either.

Yes, because the type of research that would have led to covid-19 was public health research, not weapons research. Gain-of-function research is done to help learn about pandemics so we can prevent them.

Refusal to investigate whether this is the biggest disaster in scientific history is odd. If dangerous research killed 15 million people we need to know.

Coordinating employers, schools, shops, etc. to change their hours is incredibly hard—-unless you just change the clock by law. And even if you could coordinate all that, it would have the same effect as day light savings. So why not just d

>What is the argument FOR keeping DST? Where I am at right now its DST and sun up is 7am and sundown is around 7pm. Without DST it would be 6am to 6pm. I think the average person gets more use of the sun from 6pm-7pm than they do at 6-7a

Not if the cable is built into the power adapter. But if the power adapter just has a USB-C port, then you can charge it using the cable that comes in the iphone box.

I think you'd be surprised how quickly we'd get over that. Regardless, if we abandoned Taiwan and it fell, there is pretty much no chance we'd invade several years later.

Crimea is the best success, but its because it really more of an annexation of a population that is ethnically same as the annexing nation. I don't want to give what Russia did legitimacy, but its closer to self-determination than most

The major turning points were still more like battles from the Napoleonic Wars than WWI. It's also much easier with hindsight to view them as precursors to the trench warfare of WWI. But I believe contemporaries viewed it more like cla

WW1 made perverse sense when viewed in the mindset that existed in Europe from the early gunpowder age to the end of the Napoleonic wars. They just didn't account for the rise of nationalism, total war, and industrialization. China un

It's like learning to hit a baseball (at a little league level). You don't try to think about where you should swing. You just look at the ball and swing. Your mind unconsciously does the math for you. That doesn't really wo

It can also be lucrative if business wanes. Companies with near monopoly power already printing money regardless so they don't bother. But a lot of once-great companies turn to monetizing patents. Some of the most successful patent tr

I wouldn't even try to use AutoPilot for this reason. I'd fall deep asleep if I wasn't actually steering the car. I get active cruise control. I don't get lane assist. Doesn't everyone else's mind just perform
