| schestowitz | One more source of unfamiliarity is that many people, especially younger devs, have never seen a real mail client like mutt. In their minds they may picture an overflowing GMail inbox full of top posted replies all mixed together from different projects. That’s not an enticing image. Perhaps this article can start these developers on the path to rediscovering the care and engineering that went into classic email clients (“MUAs” as they | Jun 10 14:27 |
| schestowitz | are called). | Jun 10 14:27 |

| schestowitz | " | Jun 10 14:28 |
| schestowitz | It’s nice to read about the pros and cons of each. I think I’m quite biased because myself and many of my past colleagues have expressed dismay over the increased barrier to entry with mailing lists. For example, think about modern computer users opting for a terminal vs a desktop environment; 98% would likely go for the desktop because, well, we have the technology, and it’s the path of least resistance. It’s more difficult perusing | Jun 10 14:28 |
| schestowitz | and keeping track of conversation threads in mailing lists than to scroll down an issue/conversation thread in a browser. Mailing lists annoyed me 15 years ago and still do today. | Jun 10 14:28 |
| schestowitz | Do APIs exist to view issues and conversations using Git? If people want a true CLI, it doesn’t seem like a monumental task to expose data that way. If people want to use a versioning alternative to Git or none at all, then… well, I don’t know. There are more steps in that case. | Jun 10 14:28 |

| schestowitz | Sending e-mails is just plain awkward. How many times do people reply only to the sender instead of everyone, or forget to add the attachment? | Jun 10 14:28 |

Most of the people doing the math divide the number of people in the US by the number of issued passports to get 42%.

Bush turned drivers licences into something like a Soviet internal passport. Trump has made travel suck worse than ever, and I’m doing all of my travel by automobile. There has been a corresponding fall off in travel into the US. | Jun 10 14:43 |

| schestowitz | " | Jun 11 08:11 |
| schestowitz | The article spends most of its text in showing that noone discuses the one-state solution. It hardly explains why it is a good idea. You know, perhaps people do discuss the better ideas. For instance, let me suggest an original idea of my own. One that does not get much of the attention of the mass media and hence must be great: let’s just give the whole country to Assad for one year[1]. I can assure you that after that one year his rule | Jun 11 08:11 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes--> fair.org | Burying the One-State Solution in Palestine/Israel | FAIR | Jun 11 08:11 | |
| schestowitz | will be praised all over the country and also by many in the world. Works great, right? | Jun 11 08:11 |
| schestowitz | Basically those who support one state are those who are not willing to compromise on two states. So they broadly belong to two major groups: | Jun 11 08:11 |
| schestowitz | the far right: people who would not give up any part of the land. They have various opinions on how to not have an Arabic majority (or even: a large Arabic minority). Often those plans are not quite democratic (Bennet’s plan looks quite a bit like Bantustans, some others think that they can annex the area without giving full citizenship. And some think of various ways of getting rid of at least part of the Arab population). | Jun 11 08:11 |
| schestowitz | Some, like President Rivlin, think that we can just annex and grant citizenship and things will work out for the best. He, like many others in the Likkud, follows Zabotinski’s ideas. Zabotiski basically thought that the Arabs may not like us, but when they will be faced with a presence that they cannot destroy (“iron wall”) they’ll have no option but to accept and respect us. He also envisioned a mixed Jewish-Arabic country with full | Jun 11 08:11 |
| schestowitz | rights for all. Rivlin and Livni are probably the last two followers of Zabotinski in the current Israeli political system. | Jun 11 08:11 |
| schestowitz | On the other side there are radical left people in the Jewish public. This idea is more common (though I’m not sure to what extent) among the Israeli Arabs. Among the Palestinians in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip: IIRC there is a large majority there for a two-states solution, but it is not that solid (75%?). In Israel proper it is a very solid majority. | Jun 11 08:11 |
| schestowitz | In a way the calls for a one state solution are from people who despaired from the current proposed solution (two states). But a single state has many other problems: it won’t be a stable one. Consider Belgium. Now think what happens with Dutch and French-speaking people despise each other and are afraid of each other. | Jun 11 08:11 |
| schestowitz | And one small tidbit: | Jun 11 08:11 |
| schestowitz | The one-state solution is the idea of bringing justice and peace to Palestine/Israel by having all inhabitants of historic Palestine—the land that includes Israel, the West Bank, Jerusalem and Gaza | Jun 11 08:11 |
| schestowitz | Let’s start small. How about Gaza not being its own state? The Palestinians have been working on that for years and so far there’s no progress. There’s the little technicality that the Hamas would not give its military control over the Strip. And then the PA’s government does not want to operate there if the Hamas still has military control. | Jun 11 08:11 |
| schestowitz | [1] Taking is back later is left as an exercise of futility. | Jun 11 08:11 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Zemlin on Microsoft and 'us': 'We have all grown up' Speak for yourself, Jim. The real #gnu #linux community (users and developers) reject #microsoft And for good reasons. They don't get paid by Microsoft like you do. | Jun 16 08:46 | |
| schestowitz | "Zemlin’s bank account has grown up." | Jun 16 08:46 |
| schestowitz | " | Jun 16 08:48 |
| schestowitz | I don’t know who Zemlin is and what he said. I’m a GNU/Linux user and Free Software advocate, but I don’t reject Microsoft per se. That misses the point. Of course it is not difficult to find examples of Microsoft’s actions that were clearly intended to protect their monopoly. One of the first ones I ever encountered was reported in Dr. Dobbs Journal as the AARD code: | Jun 16 08:48 |
| schestowitz | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARD_code | Jun 16 08:48 |
| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-en.wikipedia.org | AARD code - Wikipedia | Jun 16 08:48 | |
| schestowitz | Rather than invest in a them vs us view and for Zemlin apparently celebrate a “new era” at Microsoft wherein they make Linux kernel investments, the better focus is free vs non-free. To see Microsoft as merely a proprietary software vendors who make money in part by withholding freedom otherwise granted by Free Software. | Jun 16 08:48 |
| schestowitz | Many folks who use GNU/Linux today started as Windows or macOS users. It is also true that Microsoft created market pressure that reduced PC hardware to a commodity. The availability of powerful and inexpensive hardware was an enabler for Free Software. | Jun 16 08:48 |
| schestowitz | In summary; years ago I often found myself frustrated by actions of Microsoft. Nowadays I find myself more stoic. To quote Epictetus, “He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.” In other words Free Software succeeds because good people act to create and support the effort. Success doesn’t not depend on adversaries of Free Software changing their ways, but if they do, even | Jun 16 08:48 |
| schestowitz | on a case-by-case basis, well, I can rejoice in that too. | Jun 16 08:48 |

| schestowitz | Well, microsoft is just doing it for thier cloud divison and enterprise | Jun 16 08:48 |
| schestowitz | Google Cloud and Amazon AWS are beating them into a fine pulp right now… | Jun 16 08:48 |
| schestowitz | so don’t expect microsoft to suddenly release MSOffice code or do anything that isn’t necessary to appeal to the enterprise market. | Jun 16 08:48 |
| schestowitz | this is just same old Microsoft desparately trying to retake an old market, and we can’t rely on them too much, they will drop us like a turd when they get tired of chasing this market and lock down their systems if it became profitble again | Jun 16 08:48 |
| schestowitz | " | Jun 16 08:48 |
| schestowitz | "Microsoft-hating is justified because of Microsoft’s history of bad practices and a not-unjustified lack of trust that they have changed in any fundimental way. It is alleged that they now bury their misdeeds behind puppet companies. A charge that is difficult to prove - which would mean that it works." | Jun 16 08:48 |

| schestowitz | Many folks who use GNU/Linux today started as Windows or macOS users. It is also true that Microsoft created market pressure that reduced PC hardware to a commodity. The availability of powerful and inexpense , hardware was an enabler for Free Software. | Jun 16 08:49 |
| schestowitz | Yes, the abomination that was Windows 95/98 drove many of us to Liniux. | Jun 16 08:49 |
| schestowitz | But it is much more true that it was IBM, Intel, and AMD who reduced PC hardware to a comodity. IBM, in particular, by opening the hardware standard for the new OS, truely revoltionized the market - to their own later regret. | Jun 16 08:49 |
| schestowitz | " | Jun 16 08:49 |
| schestowitz | " | Jun 16 08:49 |
| schestowitz | In my view the value of Free Software really doesn’t depend that much on how a proprietary software vendor acts. The vendor could be completely trustworthy and have a clean history in regards to practices, yet fundamental differences would remain. | Jun 16 08:49 |
| schestowitz | Using non-free programs is making a big bet on the vendor. Even the best of vendors will be subject market forces. Thus when we look behind us, we see a landscape littered with latest-and-greatest → starting-to-fade → now-obsolete packages (Foxpro, PowerBuilder, Access, Paradox, etc). The life cycle and features of non-free programs follow vendor choices and market forces and little else. | Jun 16 08:49 |
| schestowitz | In contrast, Free Software, tends to enjoy a merit-based existence. Systems that wind up in wide use do so because they get selected and refined within the community. As long as even a few intrepid souls exist who are willing to add new features, fix bugs and create new releases, the free program lives on. No one comes and pulls the plug. | Jun 16 08:49 |
| schestowitz | So if the best scenario for non-free programs is troubled, what can we say, when a company begins to make choices that actually bad for the user community? It was amazing to watch Microsoft chase Netscape and how rapidly IE was able to catch up and then dominate the browser space. I’m sure the software engineers at Microsoft were proud of what they accomplished. But ultimately what happened? Well of course the dollars used to pay for IE | Jun 16 08:49 |
| schestowitz | development had to come from other paid-for Microsoft products. The “cost” of IE came to at the “expense” of neglect of other products. Once the threat of Netscape was neutralized the development of IE slowed to a crawl. There was little incentive for IE developers to adhere to W3C standards, thus the job of producing web content became needlessly complicated. | Jun 16 08:49 |
| schestowitz | But… ultimately the Free Software alternatives, such as Firefox, succeeded. Did the course IE take help or harm this effort? I believe it could be argued both ways. Microsoft was welcome to make IE whatever they want, good, bad or ugly. Standards respecting or not. With no outside access to the source code, it is all up to them. Because they chose a path that didn’t respect users and developers, ultimately, this made room for Firefox to | Jun 16 08:49 |
| schestowitz | produce a better browser. For one thing Firefox could pursue cross-platform support from the start. If some one the IE team suggested a port to GNU/Linux, the suggestion likely didn’t go far. When smart phones and other devices produced increase pressure for standards, all those choices made for IE came back to haunt them. | Jun 16 08:49 |

| schestowitz | " | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | With due respect, I must confess that your comments are deliberately provocative, may be unnecessary provocative. I do not see here a German craving for certainty, and even less a deference for German authority and a yearning for the Good Old DPMA Days. If this had been the case they would not have dared saying anything at all against an authority. | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | That crappy patents are granted, is a reality. I have seen over-broad patents being used big companies with deep pockets against SMEs and nearly killing them. Vice versa, SMEs having patents which were unenforceable for the same reason and which have been revoked or nullified because the search has been botched up. | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | The complaint system is not working properly. In the past you got a reasoned reply explaining the position taken in reply to the complaint, nowadays you get a quasi-standard letter merely stating that the Guidelines, which ones is left to your imagination, are respected. | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | If you follow case law, you will note that in more and more cases when you look at decisions in appeal after refusal, the Board quotes new prior art, or chooses a totally different closest prior art in order to show that the subject-matter is inventive or not. I do not say that it is the role of the Boards to act like this, but there again it is a reality. | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | We are now in the never ending situation of “bar raising” of the output productivity targets being imposed on Examiners, with the result that production figures are requested which cannot be achieved due to a lack of incoming files! That is what I called planned economy. | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | That all applications have to be looked at with the same attention irrespective of the name of the applicant is clear, but the deleterious consequences of crappy patents are much more severe for SMEs than for companies with deep pockets. | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | That the EPO has to cope with a limited budget is one thing, reducing the work to producing points is another thing. While the first one is to be agreed upon, the work of an examiner is not producing points, but well-reasoned decisions. That aspect has been totally forgotten by the examiners themselves. And this is not good either, but examiners are primarily responsible to that turn of events. They accepted to enter a rat race. | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | Furthermore, rather to say no to anything proposed by the management the real representatives should have entered proper negotiations with the management, as it was done in the past, and not insist on illusions. This attitude allowed the management to claim that the staff is a bunch of unsatisfied kids and so to gain support from the Administrative Council, albeit by painting its own views with pink glasses. The tactical ability of the head | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | of the EPO did the rest. | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | It is high time to return to a normal functioning of the EPO. For this, the present, stupid, quest for numbers has to stop immediately, and the Administrative Council should control the Office and gobble any gobbledygook put in front of it by the management of the Office. | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | Reducing training to a bare minimum and introducing incentives which work like a ratchet mechanism is anything but sound. The EPO is not Mac Donald’s. | Jun 16 20:20 |
| schestowitz | The EPO is too precious to Europe to let it go down the drain for the sake of some pseudo-managers who are just in quest of self-glory. The aim of the EPO is to deliver a service to its users, and not to be an institution to the self-service of its management. | Jun 16 20:20 |

| schestowitz | Thanks, guys and gals, for the responses. What do we take from them? That for Applicants at the EPO, the “Game” has changed. So, we as representatives have to plot with our clients how best to “game” the new system. | Jun 16 20:21 |
| schestowitz | Given that the EPO is in a hurry to grant all it can, as fast as it can, all we have to do is to feed their hard-pressed Examining Divisions the bait they crave. ” One hand washes the other” as it is said in Germany or, as we say in England, “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours”. In other words, imagine the Examiner mindset to be “Help me to help you”. | Jun 16 20:21 |
| schestowitz | How can we help the Examiner? Answer: draft cases better. First do a search. Then write clear and well supported claims that are novel over the art, supported by a description that sets the claimed subject matter in the context of a realistic prior art starting point. Include a nicely graded set of tasty dependent claims, each partnered by a description of a corresponding enhanced technical effect. Then sit back and wait for the 71(3). | Jun 16 20:21 |
| schestowitz | Do we not see this trend already, for Europe-based corporate Applicants, who get their drafting done by European patent attorneys? | Jun 16 20:21 |
| schestowitz | Just one snag though, isn’t there? I’m looking at you, Grünecker, Hoffmann Eitle, Maiwald, Vossius, with your great bulk of filings being on behalf of Applicants from outside Europe. How will you get your distant clients to draft like that? | Jun 16 20:21 |
| schestowitz | But wait. Brother and sister EPI members, is it the interests of European industry, that corporate Applicants outside Europe start to perfect their EPO-style patent drafting? Imagine that the USA reformed its domestic patent law to be an exact copy of the EPC, its Imp Regs, its Guidelines and its Established Caselaw, and then became perfect practitioners of that EPC law. All those debacles (Palmaz stent, CRISPR tech) , in which Americans lose | Jun 16 20:21 |
| schestowitz | blockbuster patent positions in Europe through drafting errors would dwindle to nothing and, instead, American owners would increasingly secure dominant patent positions in Europe. Is that what we want? | Jun 16 20:21 |
| schestowitz | Think: is not the EPO’s new Game bestowing a comparative advantage on those Applicants (at least in the engineering arts) who draft in Europe? What’s not to like about that? | Jun 16 20:21 |

| schestowitz | The EPO itself has been agonising over how to invest its massive cash surplus of approx. 2.3 billion Euros. | Jun 16 20:22 |

| schestowitz | Tha is what Mr. Ernst (Chairman of the Administrative Council of the EPOrg) told German representatives: bring statistics, otherwise nothing has changed. | Jun 16 20:23 |
| schestowitz | And the EPO delivers a (self-measured) statistic. As that is the only one readily available, it is the only one he considers to be relevant. | Jun 16 20:23 |
| schestowitz | To ensure a minimum of independence/ability to counter pressure, change from one VP1 to three VPs (imstead of COOs), the office has grown considerably, these two additional VPs are well defendable within the range of the organisations structure. Then the “Chiefs of Operartions” could actually decide themselves and not fear direct repercussions from PD4.1 and her connection to the president. | Jun 16 20:23 |
