| techrights-sec | What were SUEPO and PCT-EPO ? | Oct 18 03:08 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | gm/ping3 | Oct 18 03:35 |
| techrights-sec | gm | Oct 18 03:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think I rushed a bit and could do better explaining acronyms | Oct 18 03:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm still so happy that epo faces backlash from "clients" | Oct 18 03:48 |
| techrights-sec | np just that it helps a lot of casual and/or new visitors to have the | Oct 18 03:49 |
| techrights-sec | acronyms expanded. It especially helps in Gemini, because I figure the | Oct 18 03:49 |
| techrights-sec | demographics there are people who would benefit highly from knowing what's going | Oct 18 03:49 |
| techrights-sec | on at the European Patent Office and how it is a threat to everything they | Oct 18 03:49 |
| techrights-sec | work with. | Oct 18 03:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | most people don't know what PATENTS really are | Oct 18 03:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | or what PCT is, which relies on knowing what PATENTS are | Oct 18 03:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | and what a SCAM they have become | Oct 18 03:50 |
| techrights-sec | PCT, I might guess due to being around here for long time, might | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | be the Patent Cooperation Treaty. Knowing for sure would allow me (or others) | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | to look up what that actually is for. Though the search engines probably steer | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | to disinformation / propaganda sites like WIPO.int and EPO.org or Wikipedia.org | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | "Pacific Crest Trail" ? | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | Since most people don't know what patents are, it helps to periodically throw | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | in a reminder that patents govern usage. Most developers and nealy all general | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | users of softare are fixated on distribution, which is an aspect irrelevant | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | to patents. The Unisys LZW patent mistake needs to be rubbed in people's faces | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | in such situations. | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | There are other examples, too, which show that LZW was not a one-off or a fluke | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | but part of the design of the patent system. | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | Or at least part of the design of the current incarnation of the patent system. | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | "standards-essential" patents are another landmine of sorts. | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | Patents, as we both know, are very separate from copyright, but the use of the | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | misleading, nonsensical phrase "Intellectual Property" works well to confuse | Oct 18 03:58 |
| techrights-sec | both. | Oct 18 03:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | standards and patents are not compstible | Oct 18 03:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | but there are a bunch of "pragmatic" liars who would lie for the religion of patents | Oct 18 03:59 |
| techrights-sec | I would go as far as to say that if there are patents involved then we are | Oct 18 03:59 |
| techrights-sec | talking about a specification which is not and can never be an actual standard | Oct 18 03:59 |
| techrights-sec | Most of the TR articles in recent years seem to be aimed at European Patent | Oct 18 04:17 |
| techrights-sec | Office staff and other insiders. If outreach to new groups is desireable, | Oct 18 04:17 |
| techrights-sec | some small tweaks could be made to the way new articles are written such | Oct 18 04:17 |
| techrights-sec | that the terminology is made more accessible to new and/or casual visitors | Oct 18 04:17 |
| techrights-sec | while still digging deeply as usual for the insiders. | Oct 18 04:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | in techrights we covered this many times before, even earlier this month | Oct 18 04:23 |
| techrights-sec | It looks like just the processing fees are near 10000 EUR, and that lawyer | Oct 18 04:34 |
| techrights-sec | fees will be on top of that. | Oct 18 04:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | on the 'upside', many patent propaganda hives have gone quiet this past year | Oct 18 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure what to make of it as clearly the patenting activity itself carries on | Oct 18 04:37 |
| techrights-sec | Yet since software, mathematical formulas, and business models cannot be | Oct 18 04:39 |
| techrights-sec | patented and are ineligble for patents, such an application will waste | Oct 18 04:39 |
| techrights-sec | an enormous amount of company money for an end result of nothing. | Oct 18 04:39 |
| techrights-sec | Company lawyers are not cheap. | Oct 18 04:39 |
| techrights-sec | It will probably come back to bite those that have wasted their own company's | Oct 18 04:39 |
| techrights-sec | money on software patent applicaions. | Oct 18 04:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | they kept promoting the myth you won't get any VC $ unless you get patents | Oct 18 04:39 |
| techrights-sec | Oct 18 04:40 | |
| techrights-sec | That's the myth, yes, but what is the source of that myth? The source | Oct 18 04:40 |
| techrights-sec | could be found and dealt with. | Oct 18 04:40 |
| techrights-sec | ^ topic ? | Oct 18 04:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | the cynic in me says a lot of takeovers are 'fake' | Oct 18 04:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and VC money is like buying a football team | Oct 18 04:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | accounting trick and loophole made up by the exploters | Oct 18 04:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | yesterday I mentioned one clown company seeking a takeover | Oct 18 04:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes their aim is to get bought,not make money | Oct 18 04:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | which means the staff get rehired elsewhere | Oct 18 04:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | somewhere "too big to fail" (subsidies/graft/bailout) | Oct 18 04:42 |
| techrights-sec | I'm not sure which fictions the VC parrot to each other. | Oct 18 04:43 |

| schestowitz-TR | sorry to be changing the subject (by all means see the above; TR covered that a lot at the time),d | Oct 18 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | daemonfc says some mask mandates now come back to parts of USA | Oct 18 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | which, to me, merely validates the stance | Oct 18 04:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think I'll pursue some more open data on death totals | Oct 18 04:55 |
| DaemonFC | On one hand, kind of. | Oct 18 04:58 |
| DaemonFC | They're a mask suggestion. | Oct 18 04:58 |
| DaemonFC | On the other hand, the order does actual harm. | Oct 18 04:58 |
| DaemonFC | Drops the weekly test mandate for healthcare workers, and the mask one too. | Oct 18 04:59 |
| DaemonFC | They have no idea what they're doing and even if they did, it's all politics. | Oct 18 04:59 |
| DaemonFC | The voting is going on because Illinois has 40 days of "early voting". | Oct 18 04:59 |
| DaemonFC | They don't want you to feel like you're being "burdened" during an election where things beyond their control are already happening that are quite serious and bad. | Oct 18 05:00 |
| DaemonFC | Is COVID beyond our control. Yes. Is it totally beyond our control? No. | Oct 18 05:01 |
| DaemonFC | It's beyond our control who gets it and exactly when and how often. | Oct 18 05:02 |
| DaemonFC | About the only control exists in macro. | Oct 18 05:02 |
| DaemonFC | At the macro level. | Oct 18 05:02 |
| DaemonFC | So they're not requiring anyone to do anything anymore, and that makes COVID entirely beyond the control of everyone else again. | Oct 18 05:02 |
| DaemonFC | Except that they might get vaccinated and wear N95 masks, but it's optional. | Oct 18 05:03 |
| DaemonFC | And the vaccines won't last long because there's enough idiots and poor people floating around that the virus has plenty of hosts to quickly infect and mutate in. | Oct 18 05:03 |
| DaemonFC | The vaccine companies WON'T send the good stuff to poor countries. | Oct 18 05:04 |
| DaemonFC | So they basically have to go beg China and Russia for some of their crap that they can't even maintain quality control on. | Oct 18 05:04 |
| techrights-sec | ack | Oct 18 05:05 |
| DaemonFC | Like, the Chinese are using old vaccine tech, but....They've also had batches that they've injected lots of people with where it turns out they didn't even make it right. | Oct 18 05:05 |
| DaemonFC | And it was live virus. | Oct 18 05:05 |

| DaemonFC | There should have been one vaccine platform and a global distribution agreement ahead of time. | Oct 18 05:08 |

| schestowitz-TR | i did not mention it in my blog post: | Oct 18 05:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you don't get the data, which required filling forma and getting csv files | Oct 18 05:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | then you go by written summaries | Oct 18 05:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | they gloated deaths were "down" this year | Oct 18 05:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | they were down like 0.05% | Oct 18 05:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | compared to 2021 (pandemic!) | Oct 18 05:41 |

| schestowitz-TR | it is related to what we spoke about last night, re standards and patents | Oct 18 14:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | but more loosely than closely | Oct 18 14:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | i'll see what comes from EPO today, maybe that can be linked | Oct 18 14:11 |

| schestowitz-TR | before they said "SEP" | Oct 18 14:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | it was "RAND" and similar | Oct 18 14:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | lots of Microsoft lobbying | Oct 18 14:14 |

| techrights-sec | "RAND" is still bullshit and still needs to be exterminated. | Oct 18 14:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | just another propaganda term | Oct 18 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | seeting aside entrap/back doors in RNGs | Oct 18 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | and rand corporation | Oct 18 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | they added "Fair" | Oct 18 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | to make the propaganda a little more powerful | Oct 18 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | sounds like "FRIEND" | Oct 18 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | "ZRAND" used to be a thiong | Oct 18 14:16 |

| schestowitz-TR | zero about patents in europe | Oct 18 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | women's rights are very important | Oct 18 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | but when I followed EFF decades ago they didn't focus on non-tech issues | Oct 18 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | now they seem to care about niche political causes | Oct 18 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | while mostly neglecting (IMHO) urgent issues in domains they specialised in | Oct 18 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's called "mission creep", I think | Oct 18 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | likewide LF, OSI, SFC | Oct 18 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the start and the core some substance | Oct 18 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | like GPL enfocement or backing the kernel | Oct 18 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | than it's openwashing vmware | Oct 18 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | doctorow had not much to say | Oct 18 14:30 |

| techrights-sec | Hmm. Invidious had autoplay. :( :( | Oct 18 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | depends on browser | Oct 18 14:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | only falkon auto-plays for me | Oct 18 14:45 |
| techrights-sec | Is there a transcript Transcripts take seconds or minutes to read, but videos | Oct 18 14:47 |
| techrights-sec | require lots of time and proper conditions to even have a chance at following. | Oct 18 14:47 |
| techrights-sec | tldr; no comment | Oct 18 14:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, I read the video description (very long but concise) before watching it | Oct 18 14:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | now that I think about it, I shouls reproduced the description in my blog | Oct 18 14:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | done | Oct 18 14:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | reproducing the text is cheap, not the videos | Oct 18 14:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | his channel is already marked for death | Oct 18 14:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | he will be deplatformed one day | Oct 18 14:56 |
| techrights-sec | maybe a good idea | Oct 18 14:57 |
| techrights-sec | If youtube delete a video or account, is it also gone from invidious too? | Oct 18 14:57 |
| techrights-sec | s/If/When/ | Oct 18 14:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think you misunderstood what invidious is | Oct 18 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's more like alternative UI | Oct 18 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | without JS and Gulag spying, except the data source | Oct 18 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | the issue is, when they kill off his channel the scxriprion too will be gone | Oct 18 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it'll be hard to recover any | Oct 18 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | invidious retrieves that text with the API | Oct 18 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | no video -> no description, comments... nothing | Oct 18 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he includes the links | Oct 18 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne is watching it atm | Oct 18 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | I told her I had been saying the same for a year | Oct 18 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he uses mostly the same data sources | Oct 18 14:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | except his audience is vast | Oct 18 14:59 |
| techrights-sec | oh | Oct 18 15:00 |
| techrights-sec | in that case it's 100% dependent on Youtube allowing the channel or video to | Oct 18 15:00 |
| techrights-sec | continue to exist there. Has he diversifiedd and mirror his videos elsewhere? | Oct 18 15:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | afaik, no | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | he is a teacher, not an "IT" person | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he uses Microsoft extensively | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | he chooses MOOX in the video, through other formats do exist | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you search his name in gulagtube you will see ad hom and hack jobs | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | if they cannot find a way to deplatform thousands of videos (many lectures since 2007) | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | they try to offer reasons to avoid the messenger | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | reminds me of asssange | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | wikipedia is still online | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the editor is behind bars and "discredited" | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | something something "Russia" bad | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | he is an open access person, his phd relates to that | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | teaching | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I remember they said in switerland only 60% got covid vaccines | Oct 18 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe switzerland was not "hesistent" but just more honest | Oct 18 15:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | no herd mindset like some countries | Oct 18 15:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | where people were treated like criminals if they walked away from the herd | Oct 18 15:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | a warning sign was, to me, when they said 110k nhs workers turned it down | Oct 18 15:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot more than you would expect based on the overall picture | Oct 18 15:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the goal was to shame the nhs | Oct 18 15:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | if AZ is paid in bulk based on # of doses and patent licences based on "unixs" | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | *units" | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | then what we see here might be criminal | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | like gulf states buying Microsoft for depats that don't even have computers! | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | a friend of mine who's a cop got almost discarded doses in march 2021 | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | there were no takers | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | and so they invited them in | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they don't think them away | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | almost all of them (young peolle) got sick | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | they had to shut the police station | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | they administered it in the stadium across the road from us | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did see reports shaming the public for "wastes" doses | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | and outrage over not sending them abroad | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | AZ overcharging us | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | AZ with a shareholder who likes to fly Lolita Express ;/ | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | and whom you cannot name in twitter anymore | Oct 18 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if you talk about patents and graft | Oct 18 15:11 |
| techrights-sec | AZ and the others are using that to distract from having basically stolen | Oct 18 15:19 |
| techrights-sec | public research and sold it under misappropriated patents. | Oct 18 15:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | spoke to rianne about it just now | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I reckon antivaxxer in the UK are a fringe group of maybe 1% | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe 10% in US based on intituton | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | not just religious nuts | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I can imagine why many were sceptical | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the doctors of my friends who said it was harming the knees | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | and indeed I see anecdtal consistency | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I lack topics for TR maybe I'll take a look at the links and double/sanity-check | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | if ONS gave us false numbers, it's a blunder | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | because then people can ask, what else did they deceive on? | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's the boy who cried wolf | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | heck, maybe even mortality data has omissions | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | it did in the past have major backlogs | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they did not retroactively correct publications | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | if we cannot trust anything from ONS, it's a crisis of confidence | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | like CDC hiding older data | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least CDC did not fabricate | Oct 18 15:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | only omit for optics | Oct 18 15:22 |
