    Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Review: The Long Awaited Sequel
    [08:05] schestowitz
    [08:05] schestowitz

    The year is 2021 and after six long years we finally see a CPU update to the Raspberry Pi Zero range. The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is a $15 quad core Arm Cortex A53, similar to that of the Raspberry Pi 3, in fact they share the same BCM2710A1 die, but the Zero 2 W is underclocked to 1 GHz on all cores. We were lucky enough to get hands on with the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, months ahead of its launch and we put it through its [08:05] schestowitz paces to see if it is worth the extra $5.

So far there has not been much discussion about the PPIs article 18(1), which states the United Kingdom has to support the PPI as well.

No amount of interpretation can override the meaning of a legal text where there is no ambiguity. In Art. 7(2) UPCA, London unambiguously means London. And even more importantly, in the PPA, the United Kingdom unambiguously means the United Kingdom. Hence, the PPA cannot enter into force as written. Nothing is actually solved by this [09:13] schestowitz purported authentic interpretation. [09:13] schestowitz I fear that if this train of thought continues until the UPC is set up, the entire thing may crash and burn spectacularly at the first challenge before the ECJ where it is alleged that a decision of the UPC was handed down illegally because it should have been handed down in London. [09:13] schestowitz Reply [09:13] schestowitz Patent robot [09:13] schestowitz October 29, 2021 at 11:20 am [09:13] schestowitz If you interpret Italy as being United Kingdom interpreting art. 89 UPCA (the three necessary MS are Germany, France and Italy) , then with the same authentic interpretation the three sections of art. 7 UPCA are based in Paris, Munich and Milan. [09:13] schestowitz Reply [09:13] schestowitz Extraneous Attorney [09:13] schestowitz October 29, 2021 at 12:44 pm [09:13] schestowitz Why Milan, and not, say, Livorno, Lecce, La Spezia or Lucca? After all, the names of all these fine cities in Italy starts with an L, like London, while Milans does not. [09:13] schestowitz Of course, I am being tongue-in-cheek here. The real point is that just because some proponents of the UPC would have things a certain way does not mean that the relevant legal provisions enable them to. [09:13] schestowitz Also, would it not be a little odd if the UPC contracting states went ahead with this blatant disregard of the clear letter of a treaty, while at the same time chastising a certain EU member state east of the Oder for allegedly doing the same? [09:13] schestowitz Reply [09:13] schestowitz Patent robot [09:13] schestowitz October 29, 2021 at 4:28 pm [09:13] schestowitz I was just referring to the sentence However, interpreting the United Kingdom to mean Italy does not help to solve the issue with Art. 7(2) UPCA, which instead refers to London. of the article. [09:14] schestowitz It the authentic interpretation is so powerful to create the United Kingdom of Italy, then the same interpretation can be applied, even more easily, to art. 7 UPCA, which can be interpreted as such: The central division shall have its seat and two sections in three cities, each chosen by one of the three MS of art. 89 UPCA. [09:14] schestowitz As I wrote before, I am stiil convinced that the only solution is to amend the PAP and the UPCA. [09:14] schestowitz P.S.: actually, there is a town called Londa in Italy [09:14] schestowitz Reply [09:14] schestowitz Patent robot [09:14] schestowitz October 29, 2021 at 11:41 am [09:14] schestowitz After the dynamic interpretation and the authentic interpretation what next? The 100%-guaranteed interpretation?

[09:14] schestowitz In CETA, only 3 parliaments over 28 discussed the text.

At the ceremony, the representatives who will sign will have received that power from their state. Parliaments only play a role in ratification/accession when needed, what I would think is not necessary here (I fully realise most of the previous commentators will disagree, thats it). [09:14] schestowitz All this said, I would agree that the UPCA is as well drafted as the Regulations. The first cases at the UPC (+CJEU) will be interesting. [09:14] schestowitz Reply [09:14] schestowitz Bart van Wezenbeek [09:14] schestowitz October 30, 2021 at 12:03 am [09:14] schestowitz Maybe just a suggestion but why cant the court be based in London? As far as I know, there was already a court room allocated and I expect that the UK government would not object to hosting a court although they themselves would not be subject to that court (in the same way the Yugoslavia tribunal was hosted by The Netherlands). [09:14] schestowitz This would leave only the difficulties in the PAP and the protocol on privileges, but as argued by MaxDrei in the quoted blogpost: if souvereign States together decide on the interpretation of a legal text, who will contradict them? [09:14] schestowitz Reply [09:14] schestowitz DXThomas [09:14] schestowitz October 30, 2021 at 4:10 am [09:14] schestowitz Even if might at a pinch possible to bring into force the PPA and PPI with the envisaged trick, the same trick will not work for Art 7(2) UPCA. [09:14] schestowitz Not only the text of it is crystal clear and does not suffer any doubts as to its meaning, but there is not only Italy but also The Netherlands want to get a section. [09:14] schestowitz Do you think really France and Germany will let go pharmacy and chemistry to either Milan or Amsterdam? [09:14] schestowitz The haggling is not only on the location but also about the domain. [09:14] schestowitz It is far from innocent that both have come up with the provisional allocation of the duties to Paris and/or Munich. [09:14] schestowitz An international treaty which has been ratified cannot be simply thrown over board for the satisfaction of private interests. There are rules to be respected and should they not have been respected, the decisions taken by a court in violation of an international treaty can and must be challenged. [09:14] schestowitz Why do the proponents of the UPC do not ask the opinion of the CJEU? [09:15] schestowitz The most probably do not so as the reply could be devastating for their h [09:15] schestowitz " ● Oct 30 [10:34] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
