schestowitz> Anarchists come in all shapes and sizes.Apr 22 17:45
schestowitzThis is not true. Anarchists are standardized. For example, if you are a sexist or an anti-Semite, you will no longer be allowed to be called an anarchist. Moreover, if you live at the expense of the state and the financial system, you work for them but at the same time support feminism or Zionism - then you are allowed to be called an anarchist if you want it. In the West, the word anarchism is uncreditable.Apr 22 17:45
schestowitzBut in the Slavic tradition that i think anarchism is not discredited. In the Slavonic understanding, an anarchist is one who does not recognize any authority (including the power and authority of the monetary system - denial of which is tabooed in the West).Apr 22 17:45
schestowitzLiterally, the Western anarchist is forced to submit to the power of women, homosexuals and Semites, if they have any power. The Slavic anarchist does not recognize any authority, even the authority of women, homosexuals and Semites are also unacceptable for him, as the authority of democratic deputies or policemen.Apr 22 17:45

schestowitz"Apr 23 15:09
schestowitzI would also like to see more improvements in the PEB exams especially FD4. I think its important for the PEB and CIPA to address the concerns of many e.g. amount of time given in exams, suitability of topics/subject matter in FD6 (and possibly FD1), syllabus, training and development in the profession. One area I find difficult with FD4 is that I do not know what the Examiners are looking for in an answer and what skills are being tested.Apr 23 15:09
schestowitz Are we testing candidates the ability to speed write an answer? It is not clear what the objectives are for FD4 and the PEB could do with releasing excellent templates/guidelines/model statements & example answers on each section of FD6. What are they looking for in each section of FD4 and why. These are not vitriol comments but a way to provide candidates better understanding as to what they need to do in each section. Apr 23 15:09
schestowitzI don't think any of these exist (certainly the EPO provide much better training materials) and therefore, I won't be taking it this year until some of the concerns about FD4 are addressed. Apr 23 15:09

schestowitz"I believe part of the issue is that candidates do not have sufficient GB work. Even when qualified, the amount of UK work is minimal and quite limited. Therefore, I truly understand why the PEB exams may seem irrelevant and have little value to many. As a result, many industrial roles do not expect UK qualification requirements. I would urge private practice to relax their insistence on gaining UK qualification(s) as it does not allow Apr 23 15:09
schestowitztheir employees to progress. I personally don't think UK qualification should be a condition for gaining promotion in private practice firms and that UK exams should be optional given how little UK work the profession carries out as a whole. "Apr 23 15:09

schestowitzNo, no they are not. No one is using WiFi to precisely track anything. If they were, Google’s tracking in Maps would be MUCH more accurate than the current “maybe on this city block” level. That whole “3 to 5 meters” (9 to 15 feet) is based on having 3 points of reference to do the math on, assuming those points are not being interfered with by electrical lines, light poles, neon signs, walls, trees, etc., etc. So 9 to 15 ft is Apr 23 18:53
schestowitzthe current best accuracy in lab grade conditions.Apr 23 18:53
schestowitzI don’t know about where you live, but in the metroplexes I have lived in a person is lucky to have a single reliable access point available, much less three, and asking for no obstructions on top of that? Not a chance. Even in the country, even if there are no obstructions good luck finding 3 access points within a good measurable range.

schestowitzThe Windows Users and those willing to migrate the Ubuntu or one of the 89 forks of these gladly accept these Offers, but it plays their Ideas of an Operating System in the Cards. This is also the Top Dog among the GNU/Linux Distributions, Red Hat, because I’m very worried.Apr 23 18:59
schestowitzEverything is sold to you as Progress and the normal User (I would rather say the most stupid accepting User [DAU]) does not realize what’s happening because he does not live the Philosophy of unixoid Systems, free Software, and openSource.Apr 23 18:59
schestowitzAnd the statements by Microsoft at the Time when Linux just grew up “Forks lead to more and more Decomposition of the System” gets more and more Reality.Apr 23 18:59
schestowitzThe Freedom that everyone can build their own Distribution is in my Eyes a Curse and a Blessing at the same Time. Even worse, it is that within the Linux World more and more Trench Battles between the different Distributions are. In the process, I catch myself calling Ubuntu a worse Linux than, for example, openSUSE or Debian. Take the most widely used Linux System, Android, it has become so popular because it meets the needs of the Apr 23 18:59
schestowitzsimple User. In my opinion, it is the worst Implementation of a GNU/Linux Distribution, but still better than any Windows.Apr 23 18:59
schestowitzHow many Compromises someone makes to use a GNU/Linux System the Way he imagines it is as diverse as there are People. The One looks pragmatic and says “If there’s no better alternative, I’ll just use the closed-source Driver instead of the Free one, so I’ll have at least a third more FPS in my Applications.”Apr 23 19:00

schestowitzEven with the Manufacturers of Software, it is the same Picture. Everyone hacks around it the device X does not work or does not work well with Linux, sees the Blame in Linux rather than clearly recognizing the real Cause and Name!Apr 23 19:00
schestowitzSince it is criticized that there is not Adobe Photoshop for Linux, why Linux does not do it anyway. But if you asked the other Way around “What does Microsoft do to run Linux native Software” then came for a long Time only a Shrug or terse Comments that you would not need that as a Market Leader. Since there is now this Linux Subsystem for Windows, the Argument does not matter anymore.Apr 23 19:00

schestowitzAuch ich beobachte diese Entwicklung seit Jahren und sehe die Bemühungen seitens Microsoft und IBM auch nicht als freundliche Geste sondern erkenne darin eine feindliche Übernahme. Ja man kann es auch Krieg nennen, nur die Front hat sich verschoben.Apr 23 19:00
schestowitzDie Windows Benutzer und die umsteigewilligen die Ubuntu oder einen der 89 Forks davon verwenden nehmen diese Angebote gerne an, spielt es ihren Vorstellungen eines Betriebssystems doch in die Karten. Das auch der Platzhirsch unter den GNU/Linux Distributionen, Red Hat, da mit macht besorgt mich sehr.Apr 23 19:00
schestowitzAlles wird einem als Fortschritt verkauft und der normale Anwender (Ich würde lieber dümmster anzunehmender User [DAU] sagen) erkennt nicht was passiert weil er die Philosophie von unixoiden Systemen, von freier Software und von openSource nicht lebt.Apr 23 19:00
schestowitzUnd die Aussagen seitens Microsoft, zur Zeit als Linux gerade heran wuchs “Gabeln führen zu immer weiterer Zersetzung des Systems” bekommt immer mehr Realität.Apr 23 19:00
schestowitzDie Freiheit das jeder eine eigene Distribution bauen darf ist in meinen Augen ein Fluch und ein Segen zugleich. Noch schlimmer ist es aber das es innerhalb der Linux-Welt immer mehr Grabenkämpfe zwischen den verschiedenen Distributionen gibt. Dabei erwische ich mich selbst dabei das ich Ubuntu als schlechteres Linux bezeichne als beispielsweise openSUSE oder Debian sind. Nehmen wir das am weitesten verbreitete Linux-System, Android, es Apr 23 19:00
schestowitzhat sich so sehr verbreitet weil es die Bedürfnisse des einfachen Benutzers erfüllt. Nach meinem Dafürhalten ist es die schlechteste Umsetzung einer GNU/Linux Distribution, aber immer noch lieber als jedes Windows.Apr 23 19:00
schestowitzWie viele Kompromisse jemand eingeht um ein GNU/Linux-System so benutzen zu können wie er es sich vorstellt ist so vielseitig wie es Menschen gibt. Der eine sieht es pragmatisch und sagt “Wenn es keine bessere Alternative gibt nehme ich halt den Closed Source Treiber statt des freien, dadurch habe ich ja mindestens ein Drittel mehr FPS in meinen Anwendungen”Apr 23 19:00
schestowitzNahezu niemand schreibst die Hardware Hersteller an und fordert von Ihnen eindringlich auch Treiber für Linux bereitzustellen oder wenigstens die Spezifikationen seiner Hardware offen zu legen.Apr 23 19:00
schestowitzAuch bei den Herstellern von software ist es das gleiche Bild. Jeder hackt darauf herum das Gerät X nicht oder nicht gut mit Linux funktioniert, sieht die Schuld bei Linux anstatt den wirklichen Verursacher klar zu erkennen und zu nennen!Apr 23 19:00
schestowitzDa wird bemängelt das es Adobe Photoshop nicht für Linux gibt, warum Linux nicht macht das es dennoch geht. Wenn man aber anders herum fragte “Was tut denn Microsoft um native Linux Software auszuführen” dann kam lange Zeit nur ein Achselzucken oder lapidare Kommentare das man das als Markführer nicht nötig hätte. Seit es nun dieses Linux Subsystem für windows gibt zieht das Argument überhaupt nicht mehr.Apr 23 19:00
schestowitzEs liegt an den Benutzern - an Allen das die Entwicklung diese Richtung nimmt - Wir bekommen was wir verlangen.Apr 23 19:00

schestowitzincidentally, that was deliberate hyperbole. they may not literally all be scum. more like “im so tired of this” than “here is a factual, objective summary of the situation.” in other words, it was cynical. i try to be a lot better than that on average, sometimes its just fun to vent. we used to do that all the time, before some corporations came in and said basically “ok, new rules: we act like corporate drones.” honesty Apr 23 19:09
schestowitzdoesnt preclude the occasional cynical outburst. it would be less fun if it did.Apr 23 19:09
schestowitzbut its good to point this out sometimes, lest everybody take each unicode glyph literally. the real community is organic, imperfect, and sincerity is a spectrum. the corporate community of course, is an example of narcissistic (dishonest, contrived) flawlessness. at least until you read matt asay or zdnet, and then they make equally absurd statements that they never admit to. most of my comments are more sincere than this one.Apr 23 19:09

schestowitz"It's a shame such an important topic is being discussed on a highly technical IP blog, and not by the broader community. The US Supreme Court's controversial eligibility decisions (Mayo, Myriad, Alice) had the laudable purpose of not allowing the 'building blocks' of innovation to be monopolised, preventing others from innovating. To my knowledge no one has ever tried to define what these building blocks are and how our IP laws could be Apr 24 04:11
schestowitzamended to prevent IP covering them. Human society seems incapable of this thinking, which would require expertise in IP, economics, morality and a little bit of philosophy to tackle properly. Instead our IP laws and practices seem to come about due to historical accidents and immediate commercial needs, with little thought given to how IP laws impact or reflect the aims of our civilisation. Sociologists by themselves have no hope of Apr 24 04:11

schestowitzArguably, the best thing about the GNU GPL is that it’s infectious. If you include my GPLed work in your work, you have to license your work under the GPL.Apr 27 06:34
schestowitzWork in the public domain can be included in work that is not released into the public domain. In fact, in the USA, at least, it has not been made clear in courts of law that declaring your work to be in the public domain has any legal effect.Apr 27 06:34
schestowitzThis needs to be fixed.Apr 27 06:34
schestowitzWe need a statute that explicitly gives legal effect to an author’s declaration that a her/his work is in the public domain.Apr 27 06:34
schestowitzWe need a new category that doesn’t exist now. We need to be able to release our work as “infectiously public domain.” Any work that includes any content in that is infectiously public domain would be, automatically, infectiously public domain.Apr 27 06:34
schestowitzOne advantage to the new category is that its status wouldn’t expire when the copyright expires. We do all realize that, when the copyright on a GPLed work expires, the GPL is no longer enforceable for that work, right? Infectious public domain would be permanent.Apr 27 06:34
schestowitzOf course, this is just another of my interim solutions. I’d rather see the end of copyrights, altogether. I don’t think copyright is really necessary. It usually benefits Amazon much more than authors or even publishers.Apr 27 06:34
