Military justice is to justice as military music is to music.

A fair philosophical point.

I think many of them are great and it has little to do with the “quality” being bad.

I agree this is mostly a matter of taste. Consider the endless debates over Heifetz and Argerich’s playing styles.

Muscular Dystrophy isn’t a single disease— it’s an umbrella term for a whole class of neurodegenerative diseases with different etiologies. We need to be clear on which one we’re talking about when we talk about cures.

Reminds me of a UI designer I worked with once who had an idea for controlling phone audio playback with gestures while driving (with the phone in a cradle). There have to be lots of other neat applications.

I’m not talking about enforcing an injunction. I’m talking about granting one.

Yeah it’s already used for that purpose…by the government.

Except that these days they almost never do that.

They still end up being the subject of jury trials, and the outcome is often not FRAND.

Having worked for more than a decade as a jury consultant on high profile patent lawsuits, I disagree. Big verdicts are mainly attributable to lawyering and the extent to which the judge construes the patent language.

Typically this just means the naive approach: 385 or so people assumed to be randomly sampled, which yields results at 95% confidence with a 5% margin of error.

Sure you can. Contracts are simply bargaining for promises to do or not do something. Here, the “order” is the licensee promising not to do something.

This is a neat vision but is it actually happening?

You only need a sample of 385 people in order to be representative of the entire US population at a 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error…

I have no idea what DoH is but if the kid is smart enough to defeat the counter measures they deserve to watch the porn.

Social media no doubt facilitates this kind of harm but by no means causes it.

Real estate has been getting pretty frothy there for a while.

I imagine it’s most commonly used by Python developers because it’s the broker of choice for Celery, a distributed task queue.

I think it’s a very effective analogy.

Much more flavorful? In what way? This strikes me as a really naive perspective on cooking. Also, FYI, “globalization of foods and spices” has been going on since the early days of the Silk Road.

I’ve lived here for almost 15 years now and I can’t remember the cops ever responding to the shit people are now blaming the DA for.

It’s a really neat experience but I wouldn’t go it again for more than a night. I hit my head on many doorways and am certain that if I’d stayed longer I would have eventually fallen through a wall.

Sure. Try setting a pair of headphones as a mic and then talking into them.

Maybe. I’m not sure anyone has tried it. It wouldn’t work against a party like Intellectual Ventures but in theory you might be able to take out a nascent troll with a smaller war chest, and if you win they might have a tough time selling o

Sure, but they have to come up for air sooner or later.

You can preemptively sue them, albeit not for infringing on your IP. It’s called declaratory relief.

I don’t really understand how a type system in and of itself raises the learning curve unless the language commonly uses esoteric types. You still have to understand your data structures in dynamically typed languages; does it really add mu
