New USPTO rules would make bogus patents much harder to challenge. The public deserves better. eff.org/deeplinks/2025/11/pate

The Patent Office Is About To Make Bad Patents Untouchable

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has proposed new rules that would effectively end the public’s ability to challenge improperly granted patents at the Patent Office itself. We need EFF supporters to file public comments opposing these rules this week. The USPTO is moving quickly, and staying silent will only help those who profit from abusive patents.

割と稚拙なスクリプトなので、自分で作りたい奴は自分で作ればいいし、自分で作りたくない奴は勝手に流用してもらえればいいし

どちらにせよ、公開したところで別に誰かが損するわけではないだろうとは思う

어쨌든 대회에서 경쟁하니깐 어떻게 보면 프로 선수랑 비슷한데 프로 선수란게 적당히 해서 될 일인가 컨디션 조절은 필요하지만…기본적으로 자신의 한계에 도전하는 것이 일인데 일이란게 장기적으로 지속 가능하려면 또 그런식으로 하면 안되고 그렇다고 뭐 스스로 불태워서 선수처럼 30대에 은퇴를 할 수도 없는 노릇

Who is the most interesting person that you follow that has fewer than 500 followers?

I'm looking for new people to follow. The arbitrary 500 follower limit is so I don't get recommended all the usual people who I either already follow or have chosen not to follow.

Trump has announced a partnership with a Saudi firm to create a new Trump hotel in the Maldives. He plans to fund it by “tokeniz[ing] the development phase” and selling the tokens to US retail crypto traders.

Under any pre-Trump SEC, the tokenized hotel development would likely be considered a securities offering, with risk disclosures and protections aimed at keeping everyday people from being fleeced. But Trump’s SEC picks seem more occupied with advancing his crypto ambitions.

The hotel project is being developed with Saudi partners, making it another arrangement that boosts Trump’s crypto ventures while White House actions benefit the same government. The hotel announcement landed the same day Trump approved selling F-35s to Saudi Arabia.

Trump business interests Newest on President Trump’s rapidly expanding list of crypto ventures is a Trump-branded hotel and resort in the Maldives, which the Trump Organization says will be financed by “tokenizing” the project’s construction phase on a blockchain and selling the tokens to US retail investors.34 The Trump sons and some of their crypto business partners have lately been eagerly pitching the idea of new projects involving both real estate and blockchains [I94], which they present as an opportunity for retail investors who they claim have been unfairly excluded from high-risk real estate investments — rather than what it plainly is: an opportunity for Trump to start bilking everyday people as well as institutional lenders, contractors, and laborers.Details of the tokenization scheme are scarce. The Trump Organization has not said whether buyers will receive any share of resort revenues, or indeed any benefits at all. But its statement that the project “tokenizes the development phase itself, offering investors the opportunity to participate in a high-growth, premium real estate project from inception” reads like a textbook securities offering under any pre‑Trump SEC. After all, the Howey test — the test to determine if an instrument qualifies as an investment contract under federal securities laws — involved a 1946 case in which a Florida company developed their orange farming operation by selling real-estate contracts to investors without agricultural knowledge or experience, with a promise that the company would farm the groves and generate profits on investors’ behalf. Image: A rendering of a teardrop-shaped platform floating on the sea, about 1/3 of which is an indoor hotel area, and the remainder of which is a pool and deck area.The project is being developed with the Saudi company Dar Global, continuing the now-familiar pattern of lucrative Trump administration and family deals with Persian Gulf governments and companies. Congressional and public outcry over apparent corruption and ethics violations involving a $2 billion UAE investment in Binance denominated in the Trump family’s stablecoin (which would route tens of millions in interest on the reserves to the Trumps) [I83], a White House–brokered AI-chips deal with the UAE [I93], and another White House deal granting the UAE a 15% stake in TikTok [I94] evidently have not slowed Trump’s pursuit of similar arrangements.The Trump Organization’s announcement came the same day that President Trump announced the US would sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, after the country’s leadership appealed to him personally. The move angered Israel, given the potential to shift the region’s military balance, and it stoked fears among US military intelligence officials that the UAE would share the technology with China. The sales will still need to be approved by Congress.5

(finally, if the issue is simply "rust people are all annoying self-important kids who treat the olds with disrespect by doing gratuitous rewrites", I .. can sympathize a bit as a fellow old, but also consider (a) we were likely exactly as annoying to previous olds when rewriting everything as FOSS and/or Pure Java in the 90s/2000s and (b) it is in any case probably best to have _some_ generation of excited young people taking over maintenance of systems-level code as we all age-out of doing so, even if that involves some gratuitous rewrites..)

I think it's really funny how the bluetooth headphones I have are all varying degrees of obsolete now because they don't support the latest bluetooth audio protocols (realistically their built in lipo batteries will probably render them all garbage before backwards compatibility gets dropped in most devices, but who knows), but the specific model of wired headphones I swear by has been around since 2004 and is better than all of them.
