<p>The title of this tutorial is a bit vague, but I couldn't help myself. Also, I don't care if the "AI" search engines somehow miss it in the sea of dross, it doesn't matter much to me, strawberry Tux forever. So, we're here to talk about Linux troubleshooting and debugging, on how to identify problems with application execution and detect possible bottlenecks.</p>

schestowitz

<p>This isn't the first such tutorial I've written - there's an almost endless series, which you ought to discover by perusing my Linux section. But specifically, you want strace, which is an awesome tool, and you want perf, which is also extremely useful in figuring out where and why your system might be misbehaving. Then, as it turns out, you can combine the power of these two functions by using the somewhat

schestowitz

less known perf trace option. To wit, this guide. Begin.</p>

<p>Rowing machines make for excellent aerobic workouts, as they involve repeatedly pushing one’s legs against the base and pulling out the handle to achieve the fastest times. But because of the equipment’s nature, learning how to exercise correctly on one often requires a coach that can correct the user’s form, which is why Justin Lutz created the Arduin-Row.</p>

schestowitz

schestowitz

<p>Josh and Kurt talk about the challenge of dealing with vulnerabilities at a large scale. We tend to treat every vulnerability equally when they are not equal at all. Some are trees we have to pay very close attention to, and some are part of a larger forest that can’t be treated as individual vulnerabilities. We often treat risk as a binary measurement instead of a sliding scale.</p>

a very interesting point of view and an enlightening presentation of the EPO! Putting aside not electing the management or not controlling the controller (the council), would you mind telling to a much less experienced lawyer like me what you disapprove and dislike most of the daily handling of patent applications by the EPO, what attitudes or rules you consider inappropriate, wrong or unfair when you are seeking a patent release for one of your

schestowitz

clients? As you see a high distortion and damage induced by the EPO to the patent system in Europe, I would like to understand how this practically results in incorrect or possibly unlawful decisions daily taken by EPO staff when processing instances from applicants. I would appreciate this very much in order for me and others, to better prepare a patent request before the EPO and what response to expect. Grateful for any insight from you!

Thanks Thorsten for once more an enlightening article.

schestowitz

In the Middle Ages such a behaviour might have been tolerable, although I am not sure of it, but in this day and age such an attitude is bordering on criminal.

schestowitz

The head of an office put in charge of restoring social peace and who is insulting his own staff should be dismissed at once, even if he should have accomplished positive things, which for the person concerned is certainly not the case.

schestowitz

The level of cross border “fertilisation” between members of the AC and later high ranking “managers” has reached an absurd level. Not only the appointment of the Benoît 1th, VP5, but also some PD in DG5 are prime examples of this kind of collusion.

schestowitz

No wonder the latter claimed in the OP of G1/21 that the EPC can be amended by secondary legislation. Even if it would be true, certainly to the point that the net result is trodding on the EPC and actually changing its spirit and scope.

schestowitz

It should be made clear, but by whom, that immunity does not mean impunity!

schestowitz

As it is said in German: die Stecken alle unter der gleichen Decke! Or in French: passe moi la rhubarbe, je te passe le séné!

schestowitz

That the representative organs of the users, to start with epi, do not utter any concern is disturbing to say the least! Are those people not realising that they are sawing the branch on which they are sitting?

Great blog entry, a very pleasant read.

schestowitz

As formulated by Gianbattista Vico: history is made of cycles and counter cycles of growth and decay. Events and situations cyclically repeat, even centuries apart. The EPO is the HRE of the present cycle, only less Holy, less Roman, and possibly more barbaric.

Attentive, Thorsten, I’m going to be provocative again.

schestowitz

Attentive, lament that “the users” don’t kick up more of a fuss about the demise of the Rule of Law. But just as the AC members are seduced by money, so too are the heaviest users of the EPO. Their servants, the patent attorney profession, know which side their bread is buttered, and the profession as such is never going to bite the hand that feeds it.

schestowitz

The advent of the UPC sets up the lobbyists for corporate interests to explain to the politicians that the EPO is just another administative organisation that hands out certificates whose only use is to enable them to haggle with each other over incremental degrees of their freedom to use innovations (and in the last resort settle their differences in court). In time, an EPO AI will perform all the admin functions involved in issuing such

schestowitz

certificates. He who pays the EPO piper calls the tune. The corporation which files a patent application at the EPO will decide for itself how much “quality” it wants in its granted patent.

schestowitz

I mean, it is not as if the outlaw EPO can deprive any human being of their liberty, is it? So, shoulder shrugs all round, in Brussels and Berlin. For them, it’s just too difficult and tiring, to resist the power of the lobbyists. These days, as the sayings go, it’s every man for himself and might is always right. Worse, as Margaret Thatcher opined “There is no such thing as society”.

schestowitz

The EPO had a good run but now, thanks to new technology and erosion of respect for the Rule of Law, its best days are (inevitably) behind it. How can we convince enough of the voters that society exists and that, for society, the ever-shrinking Rule of Law is precious and, once lost, will never be regained. I have no idea. Do you?

schestowitz

And Thorsten, you mention above a “court” but I wonder, did that amount in any meaningful way to a “Rule of Law”? I’m sceptical.
