You've done nothing to explain how the presumption of validity implies the plaintiff will ultimately win, nor how my analogy to the validity of a law is wrong. If the answer were r…

1. The numbers you're quoting sure are. Look at the chart and surrounding text again. And all you said was "Plaintiffs were only winning 20-40% of the time.". "Winning" in a patent…

I wouldn't want a jury of "patent specialists", I want an inquisitorial panel including professional judges, laypersons, and technical (not "patent") specialists with the power to …

> propaganda about frivolous lawsuits? Oh please. This isn't about ambulance chasers, I'm not some right-wing nut who thinks corporations need to be protected from the unwashed mas…

1. That's like saying a law against speeding is valid, so the defendant is probably guilty of speeding. That a patent is valid says absolutely nothing about whether a defendant is …

james4k just posted a link to the source where the comment by Brad Fitzpatrick actually says it's broken in the manner under discussion. // TODO(bradfitz): the timeout should be pu…

This annoyed me when dealing with net/http the other day. Really seems like the Go team hasn't spent much time thinking about problems on the client side of connections yet.

That's the intersection of the following sets: * Small companies. * With some legal or contractual obligation preventing use of a public IRC server. * But not preventing use of a t…

You've just done a better job of marketing grove in two sentences than grove has ever done itself. That's really the point. As it stands, grove.io markets itself as $10/month for 5…

I've never setup that particular ircd, but regardless of what ircd you use, once you add separate services to the mix, you're making life unnecessarily difficult. Separate services…

It should take you 30-60 minutes to setup an IRC server depending on how familiar you are with, well, Unix. 0 minutes of maintenance per month. And once it's done, you can have doz…

A couple years ago I ran tests on an embedded Broadcom platform (7413, clocked at 400MHz IIRC) because I wasn't sure what was reasonable for SSL certificates when a box like that w…

Things are hardly so absolute. The United States Constitution is the highest law, and provides for different treatment of foreign and domestic matters, so your statement is obvious…

> I'm looking from the user's side From the user's side, proper password storage practices mean your passwords are far less likely to be compromised. > Surely using your regular ac…

The question of password hashing does not concern a password, it concerns passwords . This is a textbook case of being unable to see the forest for the trees. I'm actually astounde…

My point is that that article is not available to me or the public at large. You can't expect to cite secret evidence and have us just believe everything you say. You're not Dick C…

> I like this attitude that says because you can't find the source Gruber is quoting, some random counterfactual must be true. I didn't say that at all, and you don't have the excu…

It's hard to "take the time" to read a story behind a paywall when you have no desire to give money to the entity owning the wall. Based on the publicly-available information, it's…

Google Maps was not rolled out to a hundred million preexisting devices in an abysmal state to replace a working solution, and for its entire existence has competed in a landscape …

> Brute force in hash terms doesn't mean a "search" it means you take a string, hash it and see if the hash matches. A) That is a search, and B) I know this. You are still fundamen…

You're fundamentally misunderstanding the problem domain. At the highest level, you're missing the issue of specialization and parallelization. This misunderstanding is partly allu…
