| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | PEB (seems to) confirm that candidates will not be disqualified for writing during the time allocated for screen breaks and upload time - The IPKat | Dec 24 08:09 | |

| schestowitz | I'm not inclined to be quite as generous as some other commenters regarding Sarah's apology. It came late, only following an unprecedented level of criticism, and appeared reluctant in its tone. And if Sarah's suggestion that the PEB were intending to discipline candidates had been correct, presumably the PEB would not have been willing to forgo such discipline just by candidates apologising? | Dec 24 08:09 |
| schestowitz | Sarah has shown herself repeatedly to be unfit to be involved in PEB exams - she has poor judgement and appears to typify the stubborn, arrogant, and jobsworth attitude of the PEB. It appears almost a bad joke that she's involved in P6 infringement and validity exams, given her clear ineptitude at assessing infringement. | Dec 24 08:09 |

| schestowitz | "Congratulations" with your pyrrhic victory - now no-one knowledgeable will comment at all. Thankfully, it is clear that no-one will be penalised. But surely a better outcome would be improvement in the communication? | Dec 24 08:11 |
| schestowitz | If it is the apology that you value most, you might need to self-reflect on why. The patent world attracts a lot of people focussed on being right, never admitting mistakes or being wrong, never admitting that they cannot do something. Assumes that they will never lose a case. But that can (and frequently does) lead to a burnout in the future. | Dec 24 08:12 |
| schestowitz | Yes, I am a patent attorney of many years who is still learning, frequently makes mistakes, and has lost a few cases :-) | Dec 24 08:12 |

| schestowitz | Sarah on IPKat blog on Friday, 4 December 2020 at 10:16:00 GMT: "Finals candidates are usually a pass or fail regardless of the time taken because they either do or don't demonstrate that they know what they are doing." | Dec 24 08:12 |
| schestowitz | Sarah in her apology of 16 December: "As a Marking Examiner I have a view on the impact that the additional time may have on results and will be making these known to the Governance Board." | Dec 24 08:12 |
| schestowitz | Presumably Sarah will be making known her views that the additional time is unlikely to have had any impact on the results. | Dec 24 08:12 |
| schestowitz | " | Dec 24 08:12 |
| schestowitz | " | Dec 24 08:13 |
| schestowitz | Graver Tank, once again you have spectacularly missed the point. You have already said that it is ridiculous to "demand" an apology from Sarah. So presumably, the criticism in your post above in relation to the inability to admit mistakes is directed to candidates and qualified attorneys. Literally no one is arguing this point in any way. For the last time, what everyone is riled up about is the Chief Examiner making irresponsible | Dec 24 08:13 |
| schestowitz | statements (and not as a one off). And why is this a pyrrhic victory? You think now we will not get any communication from the PEB? As others have said above, no information is preferable to misinformation. | Dec 24 08:13 |
| schestowitz | Regarding your earlier comment that you have been "involved in teaching and making exams and evaluation tests for many years" I do hope you are not referring to PEB exams. | Dec 24 08:14 |

| schestowitz | A bit of a taboo opinion: less crowded is better. Better for the planet, we just need to focus on agriculture and breed a little less (not zero, that would mean extinction of the species... not that nature in general would mind that happening) | Dec 24 13:36 |

| Techrights-sec2 | "designers" and wasted electricity for everyone else, not to mention time and | Dec 24 13:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | security. | Dec 24 13:39 |
| schestowitz | not just security; they cause people to buy new machines to replace the "slow" ones | Dec 24 13:39 |
| schestowitz | how long does a raspi3/4 last in normal condition? 10 years estimated to be achievable? | Dec 24 13:40 |
| schestowitz | Now Wintel induced class insecurity and a sense of shame if you use an old machine. Same for phones | Dec 24 13:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Yes, Wintel boosters used to tell people to throw away their machine when it | Dec 24 13:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | filled up with Windows viruses and javascripts and thus became "too slow" | Dec 24 13:42 |

| Techrights-sec2 | And on sunk cost. | Dec 24 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Both are logical fallacies. | Dec 24 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | There was a good article or two about why one should only purchase used machines. | Dec 24 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | There is a dude in town who does that. Actually, I know of two. I should | Dec 24 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | contact both next time. | Dec 24 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I have one machine from 2003 but I stopped using that one in 2016 | Dec 24 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | It still works (AFAIK) but is in storage. | Dec 24 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Mostly I have severl newish ones these days. I hope they last as well as the | Dec 24 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | older ones. I see no reason to buy a new one unless to get away from x86 again | Dec 24 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | getting coffee... | Dec 24 13:49 |
| schestowitz | toby (the old IRC bot developer, before Twitter cut off the APIs) said something about having to educate people about recycling and repurposing things. Chinese cheap labour makes the financial arguments weaker. Classic externalities; we "appeal to novelty" at the backs on people's hard work. | Dec 24 13:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Yes, there are some right-to-repair laws finally in place, in some | Dec 24 13:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | jurisdictions. I think it is spreading but not yet at a tipping point. | Dec 24 13:58 |
