The public must gain it's share of the revenue for allowing a private company to use public domain IP exclusively.

Hold a yearly auction to see who is granted rights to the property which is now the public's.

Gotta find time for a rewatch of Tucker and Dale vs Evil

This poster can be seen in the Michael Jackson Thriller video, directed by John Landis, the creator of this movie.

I always thought it was a joke about how poorly made horror films were made, pure schlock, but came to find out there's a full movie behind that joke.

The messaging coming from Budenov, the Ukrainian head of intelligence:

“We have the ability to hit any part of the temporarily occupied Crimea as of now. Absolutely at any point we can get the enemy. Those who have done stupid things, it’s better for them to leave,”

“And those who are waiting must prepare and do everything to help, first of all, the intelligence agencies, and then further, when the troops go into the open.”

Psyops for sure, but part of me wants it to happen. Now with this battery gone it definitely sets the stage.

After personally speaking to a Taiwanese engineer working for TSMC in AZ, there is a major cultural difference, it shouldn't be overlooked.

People forget though, Intel is also expanding their plant in Chandler so this project is competiting for workers from within a diminished work force against a huge competitor. Intel doesn't need to be told how to pay and run US based capital projects.

If anything TSMC should be embarrassed they couldn't successfully forecast a huge capital project to completion. That's where the lack of competency and blame should be placed.

You have inspired me to be open to try a few more in a 'one and done' fashion.

Thanks for the explanation.

If that's your thing, have at it.

Went to a local brew pub and they were sold out of anything BUT IPAs. There were only 3 non-IPAs and 8 or 9 IPAs. So I wondered, has the market decided in favor of IPAs?

But then, they sold out of everything else?

So where are we in relation to 'peak IPA', before or after the peak?

I have no problem with craft beer or the people who make it.

Just stop with the endless IPAs.

Here we go again.

Lawmakers: put back doors in end to end encryption.

Tech sector: we can't.

Lawmakers: think of the children.

Tech sector: it's math, if we weaken the tech, nothing is private.

Lawmakers: yes, or leave the market.

Tech sector: ok.

This has been playing out since the Clinton administration and the idea there, which failed was key escrow. Key escrow still isn't a solution becase the code is, now, open source.

The lawmakers want the public to have less privilege than the criminals, or they want the entire population to act as criminals by using freely available software. This shows no forethought.

So 🪛 indeed. Their official figures state 5.5% GDP growth when it was more like negative 5-10% GDP yoy.
