"The majority of high-tech patent lawsuits are brought by patent trolls—companies that exist not to provide products or services, but primarily have a business using patents to threaten others’ work. Some politicians are proposing to make that bad situation worse. ...

The Patent Eligibility Restoration Act, S. 2140, (PERA), sponsored by Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Chris Coons (D-DE) would be a huge gift to patent trolls, a few tech firms that aggressively license patents, and patent lawyers. For everyone else, it will be a huge loss. That’s why we’re opposing it, and asking our supporters to speak out as well. 

Patent trolling is still a huge, multi-billion dollar problem that’s especially painful for small businesses and everyday internet users. But, in the last decade, we’ve made modest progress placing limits on patent trolling. The Supreme Court’s 2014 decision in Alice v. CLS Bank barred patents that were nothing more than abstract ideas with computer jargon added in. Using the Alice test, federal courts have kicked out a rogue’s gallery of hundreds of the worst patents. 

Under Alice’s clear rules, courts threw out ridiculous patents on “matchmaking”, online picture menus, scavenger hunts, and online photo contests. The nation’s top patent court, the Federal Circuit, actually approved a patent on watching an ad online twice before the Alice rules finally made it clear that patents like that cannot be allowed. The patents on “bingo on a computer?” Gone under Alice. Patents on loyalty programs (on a computer)? Gone. Patents on upselling (with a computer)? All gone. ...

PERA’s attempt to roll back progress goes beyond computer technology. For almost 30 years, some biotech and pharmaceutical companies actually applied for, and were granted, patents on naturally occuring human genes. As a consequence, companies were able to monopolize diagnostic tests that relied on naturally occurring genes in order to help predict diseases such as breast cancer, making such testing far more expensive. The ACLU teamed up with doctors to confront this horrific practice, and sued. That lawsuit led to a historic victory in 2013 when the Supreme Court disallowed patents on human genes found in nature. 

If PERA passes, it will explicitly overturn that ruling, allowing human genes to be patented once again. ...

“To See Your Own Blood, Your Own Genes”

From the 1980s until the 2013 Myriad decision, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted patents on human genomic sequences. If researchers “isolated” the gene—a necessary part of analysis—they would then get a patent that described isolating, or purified, as a human process, and insist they weren’t getting a patent on the natural world itself.

But this concept of patenting an “isolated” gene was simply a word game, and a distinction without a difference. With the genetic patent in hand, the patent-holder could demand royalty payments from any kind of test or treatment involving that gene. And that’s exactly what Myriad Genetic did when they patented the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene sequences, which are important indicators for the prevalence of breast or ovarian cancer. 

Myriad’s patents significantly increased the cost of those tests to U.S. patients. The company even sent some doctors cease and desist letters, saying the doctors could not perform simple tests on their own patients—even looking at the gene sequences without Myriad’s permission would constitute patent infringement. 

This behavior caused pathologists, scientists, and patients to band together with ACLU lawyers and challenge Myriad’s patents. They litigated all the way to the Supreme Court, and won. “A naturally occurring DNA segment is a product of nature and not patent eligible merely because it has been isolated,” the Supreme Court stated in Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics. 

A practice like granting and enforcing patents on human genes should truly be left in the dustbin of history. It’s shocking that pro-patent lobbyists have convinced these Senators to introduce legislation seeking to reinstate such patents. Last month, the President of the College of American Pathologists published an op-ed reminding lawmakers and the public about the danger of patenting the human genome, calling gene patents “dangerous to the public welfare.”  

As Lisbeth Ceriani, a breast cancer survivor and a plaintiff in the Myriad case said, “It’s a basic human right to see your own blood, your own genes.” "

[dumb-phone-diaries]

So Friday morning my phone shit itself. I'd been considering moving to a dumb phone but wasn't really expecting to have to make a decision quite so quickly, but here we are. Since I'm still chronically online though, I've made this blog to document my experiences and see how I go and how long I hold out before I cave and just get another smartphone I guess.

I've just been becoming more and more tired of finding myself scrolling mindlessly down apps I don't care about, that are feeding me content I don't want to see, and more adverts than posts by people I care about. I've become tired of constant software updates, planned obsolescence, and my battery running flat by 3pm every day. And now the introduction of AI generated content. If no one can be bothered to create it why would I bother to look at it, y'know?

So yesterday I went and bought this beauty. She's a Nokia 325 4G in "Future Dusk" (that's dark purple) and she cost $89.

This was the most up-spec phone I could find that didn't run android (or ios). She has a 2mp camera! I'm thrilled with how grainy and creepy the photos look, but i am going to need to get a proper camera, which is not a bad thing. I've been sussing out some options and I think I've found a cool Canon compact on Marketplace.

I've gotta tell you though, this feels like it has less personalisation options than my old 3315. It probably doesn't though. although what ever happened to a little hook on the corner so i could attach a wrist strap or a little flashing hello kitty charm or whatever? rude.

The predictive text feels very clunky, there doesn't appear to be a way to save custom words in the dictionary, which i definitely feel like the old T9 did. There's no emojis so we're back to texting ascii art, which is fun tbh.

Ring tones are limited but you can set MP3's as ring tones so that's fine. The standard text tone I've set is actually very cute, it sounds very magical, and receiving text messages is suddenly very exciting. especially since I've become so used to messenger.

Oh wait! I've just figured out how to add words. Great. So like, even as someone who's used this kind of tech before, there's still a little bit of a learning curve as I reacquaint myself with it.

There's no way to move menu options around to suit my preference as far as I can tell but there aren't that many of them so it's not that much of an issue.

The big challenge I'm facing is how to listen to audiobooks. I've become rather reliant on listening to audiobooks in order to get tedious tasks done. It's honestly something I dreamed about as a kid and audible basically saved my life, I'm not even exaggerating (much). This little phone can play mp3s, and there are ways to convert audible files to mp3 but having a 30 hour long mp3 with no way to skip back and forth on the track is not especially useful, and there's also no way that i've found so far to change the play speed.

There are MP3 players capable of running audible, but that also means they're capable of running all the other apps that I don't want to be able to have access to. I don't feel that I'm addicted to my phone precisely but I also don't have a lot of self control as regards the bad habit I've developed of reaching for my phone any time my hands are not otherwise engaged. If anyone out there knows of some ways around that please let me know!

Anyway

Please appreciate these grainy-ass photos I took with the phone's camera of my dog Tillie, and some Daffodils growing in my garden.

from this article, published in rolling stone - july 31, 2024

"A bipartisan group of senators officially introduced a long-anticipated bill on Wednesday designed to protect peoples’ voices and visual likenesses from being exploited with artificial intelligence re-creations without their permission.

Senators Chris Coons (D-DE), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Thom Tillis introduced the Nurture Originals, Foster Art, and Keep Entertainment Safe (NO FAKES) Act on Wednesday, about eight months after first introducing a discussion draft of that bill last October.

NO FAKES is similar to the NO AI Fraud Act introduced in Congress earlier this year and establishes increased protections to individuals’ right of publicity by strengthening their legal claims over the unauthorized use of their voice and likenesses. As the bill notes, this right doesn’t expire when someone dies and instead will pass down to an individual’s heirs or the executor of their estate.

The need for virtual likeness protections against AI has only been further underscored since the NO Fakes Discussion draft, with cases like the controversy around OpenAI using a voice “eerily similar” to Scarlett Johansson’s after the actress turned down an offer to have her voice used for conversational AI software the ChatGPT maker was developing. Deepfake pornography has become a major concern as well, with both celebrities and students falling victim to the disturbing trend. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is taking the issue head-on, and the bill she introduced to fight it unanimously passed the Senate last week....

...“We must be relentless in protecting artists’ rights,” UTA CEO Jeremy Zimmer said in a statement. “Legislation like the No Fakes Act is a positive step in ensuring AI is used responsibly as we explore its potential.”

this no fakes act is 'welcomed' by every entertainment outlet; why are these fakes still around? ask the government where you are

The Treasury Department is holding up the implementation of a law to catch crypto tax evaders, endangering billions of dollars in federal revenue and upsetting members of the president's own party. In order to implement a 2021 law in time for the current tax year, the agency first missed its deadline. After more delays, it might now be almost too late for the tax year 2024. It was anticipated that closing a loophole that may make it simpler for cryptocurrency investors to evade taxes would earn $28 billion over a ten-year period, but falling cryptocurrency values could have changed that estimate. The administration's strategy to force cryptocurrency investors to follow the same standards as everyone else includes the tax regulations. Currently, the Biden administration is being urged to act quickly by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Massachusetts) and three other senators. When President Biden signed them into law in 2021, these new regulations were desperately needed. In a letter to Treasury officials this week, Warren, Bob Casey (D., Pa.), Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.), and Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) stated that the urgency has only grown over the previous two years. Given the chance, tax evaders and the cryptocurrency intermediaries ready to assist them will continue to manipulate the system, take advantage of weaknesses, and steal billions of dollars from the U.S. government each year. Don't give them the opportunity. Brokers won't be required to report any information until the administration produces final rules addressing issues like the definition of a broker, according to statements made by the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service in December. After more than seven months, Treasury still hasn't made the initial official move of submitting a proposal, which would start a months- or years-long process before those final rules are completed. According to Treasury spokeswoman Kristin Lynch, the department is working hard to publish these crucial and intricate regulations soon. James Creech, a tax attorney at the San Francisco-based accounting firm Baker Tilly, claimed that we're almost at the stage where the delay is overshadowing the regulations themselves. Given the reporting systems that brokers will need to create and verify, he indicated that 2024 would be an optimistic start date for implementation. The crypto industry campaigned vehemently against the tax regulations when Congress included them in an infrastructure package in 2021. The definition of a crypto broker in the statute, according to some lobbyists, is excessively ambiguous. According to Ji Kim, head of global policy at the lobbying organization Crypto Council for Innovation, a broad definition of broker might result in liability for cryptocurrency businesses that can't comply, like software developers, crypto miners, and wallet providers. A group of legislators, led by Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, tried to change the statute to make the definition more specific, but their efforts failed. Once the regulations are put into place, they will provide the IRS with more details about the profits achieved by cryptocurrency investors and let those investors know that the IRS is aware of their gains. Clear standards may also help the business mature and become more standardized, according to tax lawyer Creech. It will also make tax compliance easier for cryptocurrency investors who wish to meet their commitments. He said it would be beneficial for both the industry and the taxpayer who wants to comply if those who trade cryptocurrency received the same 1099-B form as those who trade in Schwab accounts. A larger lobbying campaign by the crypto business includes the argument over the postponed tax regulation. Crypto companies and the venture capital firms that support them claim that digital currencies like bitcoin and ether, as well as the blockchain technology that powers them, are groundbreaking breakthroughs that should be treated differently from the rest of finance.

They have spent tens of millions of dollars supporting political causes and pleading with Congress to pass unique legislation to support their businesses. The development of cryptocurrency has presented difficulties for tax officials, who initially found it difficult to classify it. According to the IRS, crypto is property rather than currency, thus any earnings from sales are subject to capital gains tax. Regarding enforcement, the IRS has made an effort to break through the concealment that is a key component of cryptocurrencies' appeal. The Biden administration has suggested more modifications to cryptocurrency tax regulations, including prohibitions on so-called wash sales, in which investors sell property, realize a loss, and then promptly acquire it back. These ideas would have raised more than $31 billion, but they haven't made any headway in Congress. Source link

Tilly was quiet, as she thought. Genuinely she didn't know, and could only offer a shrug. "I've heard of a few," she told him. She wasn't going to lie. She almost died herself, narrowly making it out of the cells before they collapsed. "No, I know what gay means, and that's not what I mean," she snorted. "You can be attracted to whoever you want, I don't mean anything by you. I've just heard of some people around here who won't even talk to the opposite sex." She rolled her eyes. "It's juvenile." Tilly took the phone from him and scrolled through it a bit. "You just gotta mess around with it a little, is all, you'll learn in no time. Here--" She found the map with ease - luckily the new phones and software were pretty helpful. "Get some games on there too, while you're at it."

Felix stiffened up at the woman's words. The thought of dead people surrounding him sent a chill down his spine "D-Did a lot of people really die? I hoped everyone made it to safety." he whimpered a little as he looked down sadly. He hoped that no one he knew had died. As she spoke again Felix tilted his head curiously "Allergic to women? You mean...Gay? Because I'm gay but..I wouldn't consider myself allergic to women. I just don't really wanna kiss them." he shrugged before pulling his phone out of his pocket "I don't really know how to use this. I only know how to text."

(continuing from this post)

“Good morning, Doctor.” Her voice tickled his ear as she whispered to him. “Start-up sequence initiated.”

“I’m awake,” he grumbled, clearly not.

She chirped happily. “Dopamine increase detected. Did you sleep well?”

“I fell asleep next to you,” he sleepily smiled as he turned to face her, ensuring the first thing he saw as he woke up was Ptilopsis’ smiling face. “How could I do anything but?”

“A query my database has nothing to return for. Today is Saturday, Doctor; are you going into the office?”

He shook his head. “Nope. Are you?”

“Loading calendar...No results found.” Tilly snuggled closer to him. “Initiating cuddle mode.”

“Optimizing snuggle factors.” The Doctor pulled their blanket over them and held her close, giggling a little as her head-feathers met his cheek.

She sighed contentedly, turning her head to kiss him where he’d been tickled. “Ptilopsis wonders if the Doctor wishes to wake up like this every morning, as she does.”

“Is that even a valid query?” He turned himself to kiss her back. “Whenever you want to move in, Tilly, my door is open, and my heart is yours.”

“Hmm...Creating new appointment: Noon - Call Mayer to ask about borrowing Meeboos to help move personal effects to the Doctor’s apartment.”

The Doctor kissed her again. “Isn’t it only nine now, dear?”

“Correct.” She winked at him. “Battery still charging.”

“Oh-ho-ho. I think I know what to do about that...”

Some time later, after cuddling and a bit more to their hearts’ content, they relented to the endless forward march of time and went about getting dressed and sharing brunch, Tilly insisting on preparing their meal. “Nutrient slurry suspicions resurgent.”

“Tilly, if you don’t let me try, I’m not going to get any better.” He chuckled as she simply shook her head. “Trust me, they’re not as bad as you think.”

“Brunch in progress; please stand by.” With that, the matter was settled. At least he could make coffee...While she cooked, he walked around his apartment, wondering how much space he’d need to make for her things and mocking up new layouts in his head as contingencies.

Ptilopsis sonorously chirped when brunch was ready, only stopping when the Doctor kissed her and whispered “cancel timer” in her ear. Her beeping turned into humming as she sat at the dining room table, eyes on him as her body methodically worked through her meal. “The Doctor is even more handsome than their statistical average today.”

“Aww.” He smiled. “And you look absolutely radian today.”

“Radian to-” She giggled in her chiptone fashion. Before she could reply, however, her scheduled reminder began to blare in her mind’s ear.

The Doctor nodded as she reacted to the alarm. “You’ve got a call to make, I presume?”

“Shortly.” One bite later, Tilly stood up from the table. “Hopefully she has a Meaboo to spare.”

“She has close to fifty of them, doesn’t she?”

She shrugged. “Data not found. Dialing.”

“Alright.” He got up from his chair. “I’ll clean up.”

“Thank you. Good morning, Mayer. Ptilopsis speaking...”

Shortly after finishing her call, the pair were at her front door. The Doctor was anxious to see her place. “Is it weird I’m excited about this?”

“Not at all.” Tilly turned the key and walked inside. “Ptilopsis also looks forward to this.”

“...I was not expecting this,” he admitted, looking around. He’d expected her to have decorations - or at least more furniture - but all she seemed to be concerned with was a bookcase filled top-to-bottom with binders and her desk where a laptop was sitting.

She looked at him curiously. “What did you expect, Doctor?”

“More...stuff.” He walked over to her bed and sat down. “I thought you’d have some cute posters or something.”

“Operator dorms impose many restrictions on decor, much like those at Rhine Labs. Additionally, visitors rarely came to my dorm, excepting Ifrit and Silence, rendering the need for a homely atmosphere largely moot.”

Fair points all around. “That makes sense, I guess...”

“Erecting firewall; deploying antivirus software; no breaches detected. Doctor, among the dozens of reasons I’m happy you want me to move in with you is the opportunity to feel at home. It’s...it’s been some time since I felt as though I had a home rather than simply a place to live. I remember so little of my family, of the person I was before contracting Oripathy and this vile chorus in my head, that- unstable connection. Reinitiating ciphering protocols.”

“I didn’t realize your memory was also affected. Is it a side effect of the narcolepsy, or a separate element?”

Tilly shook her head. “Medical data inconclusive. Speculative diagnoses indicate no direct causal correlations, but hint towards strongly synergistic outcomes.”

“I see...” The Doctor stood up and took her hands in his. “Are you worried you’ve forgotten something important?”

“...Frequently.”

He nodded. “I know how that feels. Illness has robbed us both of sizable chunks of our history, even if it didn’t go about it the same way. Regardless, there’s one thing you’ll never be able to forget, so long as I’m still around.”

“Searching database...” She smiled. “Query results: 1. Is it, ‘I love you?’”

“So much it fries my circuits thinking of you.”

She happily twittered as she set her head against his chest. “Likewise. Generating show of affection.”

“Initiating program multi-threading.” He slowly walked them backwards, sitting on her bed and gently settling her into his lap. “Proceed to cutscene, despite guaranteed interruption?”

“Proceed~”

Tanner’s news!

Tanner’s started a courtship!

He’s begun a courtship with a wonderful young lady called Tabitha Hobson.

You might recognise that name from when some of the younger Hobson girls attended Priscilla and Annette’s birthday party last summer! 

The Hobson family last summer when we first met them!

The Hobson family now! 

The Hobson family is made up of parents Trevor and Guiliana, and they have 5 children: twins Tessa and Tabitha, then triplets Tilly, Tia, and Titus! Trevor works for a software company in Willowcreek and Guiliana is a home-maker who homeschools the children and takes care of the hose. The family attend the same church as the Leonard’s and have been friends with various family members as they all attend the same Family Bible Camp. Tanner and Tabitha had been at the same events but they officially meet when he went with his cousins to Willowcreek one sunday, and visited her church. They’ve been getting to know each other for quite a while, making visits back and forth (all while chaperoned), with Tabitha and her family even coming down to Newcrest for Lea’s birthday party! They’ve decided to have a no-touch courtship, only side hugging each other once when they say goodbye and to save holding hands for engagement. 

Congratulations to the new couple! (selfie taken at Lea’s birthday party!)
