schestowitz                  <blockquote>Mar 22 09:09
schestowitz                    <p> Stable and rigourously maintained interfaces are a fantastic resource that is dramatically under-appreciated. Efforts such as the ten-year reproduction challenge demonstrate that this really is not a given. Maybe instead of celebrating band aides (“look, I reproduce via code I have frozen in a virtual environment / container / machine / …”) we should celebrate languages, ecosystems, packages, … that Mar 22 09:09

schestowitz                    <p> Because we can. </p>Mar 22 09:09
schestowitz                    <p> And we should strengthen and reinforce that ability. And discourage rapid changes just for changes’ sake. Code running for a decade, or even longer, is a huge boon to everybody relying on it. </p><p> Three cheers to R Core. </p></blockquote></li>Mar 22 09:10

schestowitz"Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzIn my opinion, two important pieces of information worth reading:Mar 22 09:21
schestowitz1) Read the editorial of epi-information 1/2021Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzSubtitle: "The manants rebel".Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzWhile epi had officially said very little when the BA were "reformed" and banished to the outskirts of Munich, for once it is speaking out. Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzBravo, keep up the fight, it's only a start!Mar 22 09:21
schestowitz2) EPO launches an investigation into what it would like to see established as "New Normal”Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzhttps://www.epo.org/news-events/news/2021/20210319_fr.htmlMar 22 09:21
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.epo.org | EPO - Contribute to EPO’s public consultation first draft of “Towards a new normal” orientation documentMar 22 09:21
schestowitzNew normal = maximum digitisation and more or less complete dematerialisation of the office, with agents spread throughout Europe and mixed Hague-Munich divisions. Maximum 50% of agents on site. Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzI find the amazing the nerve put to light by the upper management. When it came to deciding that OP in the form of ViCo are compulsory, users were not asked for their opinion.Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzNow that the office is to be completely dematerialised, he is asking users for their opinion.Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzWhen you know what the office does with the responses to "consultations", it is difficult to do better in terms of mocking the world. Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzThe aim is clearly to save 50% of the buildings. It had actually started with the sale of part of the BT 8, but the city of Munich did not go for it.Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzBefore reselling buildings in the city centre of Munich, it would be necessary to repatriate the BA from the outskirts. Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzThe legal basis for all this: nope!Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzThe aim is see trough, being able to tell the AC that the users approve. Not with me! Mar 22 09:21
schestowitzI am torn between telling the pseudo-managers of the office what I think of them and boycotting the survey!Mar 22 09:22

schestowitz"Mar 22 17:36
schestowitzPerhaps the thinking is, at the level of the EPO President and the members of the EPO Administrative Council, that cases at the EPO are not as important as those in "real" courts that concern personal liberty /jail sentences) and universal human rights, and therefore a ViCo is proportionate and "good enough".Mar 22 17:36
schestowitzThat's because they always concern just one patent, usually one within a huge portfolio, and only the issue whether that one patent survives or not. Patents are restraints on free trade so the fewer of them the better, eh? Mar 22 17:36
schestowitzOnly a matter of money. Therefore, shoulder shrug and the thought: So What?Mar 22 17:36
schestowitz"Mar 22 17:36
schestowitz"Mar 22 17:41
schestowitzI think that it is fair to criticise a composition that is unlawful (as per Art 24(1) EPC), especially when an individual who clearly has a personal interest in the question referred takes a number of important decisions in the case, contrary to Art 4(3) RPEBA.Mar 22 17:41
schestowitzHowever, it is nice to know that senior management of the EPO is monitoring this thread!Mar 22 17:41
