animationwill··on Germany will violate international agreements with Unitary Patent, says FFII
I haven’t heard about this Unitary Patent Court. Is this a new judicial body in the EU? Where does it’s position rank compared to other EU judicial bodies?

The article seems to be written for those (legislators) who would already know the background

animationwill··on AWS IAM is having issues again
It’s definitely not AD and isn’t compatible with many things that you’d expect. They just repurposed the name
animationwill··on Google says it doesn't monopolize digital ad market – senators don't buy it
Are you saying OP is a Google PR insider accusing Google of abusing market privilege while ensuring the perfect definition of “monopoly“ isn’t marred by inaccuracy?
animationwill··on The School of Athens: A detail hidden in a masterpiece
> This seems the sort of critique that gives the art world a bad name.

Yes, and the remainder of the article twirls around and around and around, until saying it could be Michelangelo, but some people think the hair looks like Heraclitus. Nobody knows, yet the author ignores that and assumes it's Heraclitus and then just drives into multiple conjectures to construct an imagined artistic premise behind an ink pot.

animationwill··on Instant.page
>> Before a user clicks on a link, they hover their mouse over that link. When a user has hovered for 65 ms there is one chance out of two that they will click on that link, so instant.page starts preloading at this moment, leaving on average over 300 ms for the page to preload.

This sounds great! I immediately wonder how many additional HTTPS requests will hit your web server fleet. Has anyone using this calculated a percentage of additional requests vs additional clicks from their http logs?

animationwill··on U.S. to block cotton, tomato product imports from Xinjiang over forced labor
My statement was not disingenuous. She opposed it after they finalized the text, so it doesn't matter what she wished it had before it was finalized. It also matters when you're researching that you look at the date, because she was pro-TPP under Obama but anti-TPP as a candidate

> Then, last fall, once the 12 participating nations announced they had finalized the text after years of negotiations, Clinton said she opposes it -- citing its lack of a crackdown on currency manipulation and provisions to extend pharmaceutical drug companies' patent protections in poorer countries.

And in here words during a debate:

> "I did say, when I was secretary of state, three years ago, that I hoped it would be the gold standard," Clinton said at an October debate with Sanders. "It was just finally negotiated last week, and in looking at it, it didn't meet my standards. My standards for more new, good jobs for Americans, for raising wages for Americans. And I want to make sure that I can look into the eyes of any middle-class American and say, 'This will help raise your wages.' And I concluded I could not."

animationwill··on JPMorgan to trade shares of pre-IPO giants including SpaceX, Robinhood, Airbnb
If I wanted to do this, are there certain fee-based lawyers that I can hire to read the document? What should I look for?

By the SEC definition, I am a qualified investor but this would be the first such investment I'd make and I don't want to mess up

animationwill··on University to remove murals commemorating WWII veterans for lack of diversity
I suspect he's self-censoring his real opinion to avoid cancel culture. He basically gave a non-answer.
animationwill··on U.S. to block cotton, tomato product imports from Xinjiang over forced labor
> This administration messed up any opportunity to curtail China by dropping TPP

All major candidates of the 2016 election intended to end TPP, so it was dead either way. Only Obama sought to pursue it. To act like it wasn't dead is misinformation

animationwill··on AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine study put on hold due to suspected adverse reaction
I heard decades ago that prisoners will sometimes be recruited in exchange for reduced sentences, but not sure if that was the United States or elsewhere.

Edit: I hope I am not spreading a myth further

animationwill··on Netflix boss: Remote working has negative effects
I have been remotely working for years, and had thought about applying to Netflix, but if they don't have plans for remote work to continue, then I'll consider other jobs.
animationwill··on Scale model of 'Flying-V' airplane makes successful maiden flight
The photo in the article is deceptive; better pictures are here: https://www.flightglobal.com/aerospace/flying-v-model-embark...
animationwill··on Scale model of 'Flying-V' airplane makes successful maiden flight
" given no passengers would willingly fly in it,"

Why do you say that?

animationwill··on Parents got more time off, then the backlash started
> reflecting a sentiment voiced at several companies, complained that the policy seemed to put parents’ needs ahead of theirs.

So much for caring about others. As someone who doesn't have children, this still sounds really selfish of them to complain. Instead, the childless should petition HR for a complementary benefit (additional PTO) when the pandemic is over or a bonus (cash) now for picking up the slack. Complaining without solutions will fall on deaf ears
