Yes, this has been observing the moon, both near and far side since 2009 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Reconnaissance_Orbiter I don’t see how any NASA employee, who ultimately work for him, could have any respe

Did you watch the video? He also says, “we don’t know what’s on the back side of the moon” I guess we have decided to elect political representatives are just egotistical camera whores, but why should the top decision maker at a technical a

Uh, no. The ONLY time we see a new moon is during an eclipse. Other times the moon is above or below the sun and is too dim to see. A lunar eclipse is when the moon passes into the earth’s shadow and they happens during full moons

IDK why 81 year old Poli-sci major, attorney, and ultimate NASA executive decision maker Bill Nelson wasn't forced out of office after he incorrectly explained to Congress that the far side of the moon is always dark https:/&#x2F

Or imagine the CEO says, "Safety is everyone's job, we will accept no lapses in safety" Instead the CEO said "increase monthly production 10% this quarter" There is no trick needed here, just the proper leadership.

Boeing would lock non-conforming parts in a cage so there is no chance they will be accidentally used. Unfortunately, managers would overrule an inspector and get the parts released for use

Because Boeing did not actively try to hide the design flaw they knew about as they did with the 737 Max

Tell me you have never worked in a publicly traded without saying it. This is EXACTLY what late stage "political" companies are like. There is no rational way to decide who gets the window office vs. the internal office. Everythin

Very nice intro. I like how you introduce networking layers. It seems you are starting to go down the path of explaining how computers and servers work - and that is certainly daunting. Maybe just stick with networking and introduce more of

I try to get back to a real world analogy, think of a bank: Can you try opening the public door off hours and discover it is locked? Yes, of course. If the the public door is unlocked, can you now go inside the bank and start trying differe

Thanks for the thorough research, not just on-line, but including calling people. I occasionally go down rabbit holes like this and I have not gotten the helpful responses from officials I have contacted in the New England area. I don'

Thanks for sticking with me and engaging. I agree that design patents should not have a compulsory license. Interesting that Birkins patent expires in 3 years. I will set a calendar reminder to look into knocking them off in a couple years

Now I understand what you are saying. The only way I see individuals deriving value from scarcity is with brands - not functional patents. Even with technical luxury goods like watches and cars, which may also include patents, the real cust

So you are saying price==value? That is not true. The price a company extracts from a customer is de-coupled from the value a customer receives. If I walk into a store to buy a shirt I saw online only to discover it is on sale for 20% off,

In short, is all this just fancy BS? I have been following Simon Wardley on Twitter and read most of his blog posts about mapping and maybe kind of worked through his examples - so I am not any kind of expert and had never used them before.

Of course I do not know, but he should have come clean. "Hey, I can't find this case in WestLaw, but chatGPT found it and produced it". Instead he just submitted it as-is right out of chatGPT. Alarm bells had to be going off

Thanks for the great context. The lawyer should be disbarred. He doubled down when he was caught, and then blamed chatGPT. What do you bet he was trying to settle really quickly to make this all go away. Here is the direct link to the cha

> a lot of the value comes from the exclusivity of it I think you are confusing value and price. Auctions precisely determine something's value. Companies sometimes can use scarcity to capture more money in price than they deliver

With my proposal there is still the exact same $1B pot of gold for the inventor, the difference is everyone gets the benefit of their invention now. The trick is to set the claim license fee so that the value of the patent is exactly equal

The problem is companies can just ignore your request to license a patent. Did you know the reason any artist can "cover" another artist's song is that Congress added "compulsory licensing" to copyright law? For 9.1

I agree patent trolls are a problem. And I agree we want to incentivize people to innovate. I am citing an example with copyright how Congress chose to strike a balance and I think it could be applied to patents. I have several patents that

Currently, in trade for publicly disclosing how their invention works, we give patent holders an exclusive right to make, sell, or use their invention for 20 years. A patent holder can say no one other than me can use my invention for 20 ye

No, I can't republish a song and call it mine, and I can't use someone else's recording of a song without their permission. What I can do is record my version of their song and sell it and I can publicly play their song and c

Do you know why musicians are allowed to "cover" any song they like? It is because Congress decided music is so important no one artists should be able to lock it up for themselves so they passed a law for "compulsory licensi

I agree mixed government wins. I moved to Massachusetts almost 20 years ago and I don't understand why it isn't held up as an example for other states. Everyone thinks MA is deep blue, and it is on social issues. It was the first
