Latest rumor is that NVIDIA is making too much with AI cards. They won’t release a new consumer line for a couple more years.

It isn’t worth spending any waffers on the high end nodes for chips that offer such relatively low margins.

I’m supposed to rent a car with Avis next week…

Implicit in this prediction, is the assumption that AI data-center demand will continue that long.

I’m in the same spot.
Never liked the way Apple does things. Never bought an Apple product. But the last few months, I’ve been considering an Apple TV sub. I’m watching 5 or 6 series, and have enjoyed several of their movies.

I might even give up Netflix for it. Which feels strange, since my Netflix account is nearly as old as Netflix itself. Used to rip so many Netflix DVDs.

My first question was, why not Lake New York?
New York shares it with Ontario.

That’s my dude

I enjoy YouTube Premium being ad free.

I use YouTube Music for discovery. I hear about someone, I can immediately listen to everything they’ve ever done; Then decide if I want to buy it, pirate it, or never hear it again.

We need Spider-Dude

I appreciate my Google Play Music All Access introductory subscription more and more every year. Still $7.99

Why is it “a man dressed as spider man” and not just “Spider-Man”?

If that’s not a “We beat Medicare” moment I don’t know what one is.

I did. Court would be a coin toss. They’ll settle.

Scooters aren’t inherently more dangerous. But people don’t take their safety seriously. They don’t wear helmets and protection. Resulting in more injuries and TBIs.

I hadn’t thought of that. It’s a compelling point.
You should really become a litigator.

The band should not get to lay claim all these different interpretations from their name alone.

Which is exactly what they’re NOT doing. They had a name that was working for them for 25 years. They never sued anyone over using that name, because none of the other uses caused any problem for them. But now one has. When trying to find and identify a band named demon hunters, there is confusion with the movie. People can’t find the actual band any more. It’s only right for Netflix to compensate them for that harm.

I’m sure they’ll settle out of court, and come up with a new band name.
Demon Slayers sounds obvious to me. Or maybe The First Demon Hunters.

Absolutely agree. They shouldn’t be able to go after every use of demon hunters. And they aren’t. They’re only going after the one that’s caused actual demonstrable damage to the use of their trademark.

The thing they have to fight though is that when you register for a trademark, it doesn’t apply to every sector.

Absolutely true! Which is why it’s good that they’re both in the entertainment sector.
And I’m sure it’s a non zero percentage of people who do think the fictional band is called Demon Hunters. But that may not even matter. There is a lot of overlap, being both in entertainment, and about music and bands etc. Hell, both are even about actual demons! This is a Christian metal band after all.

Netflix is the distributor. They do approve the title it’s sold under.

It’s not about the search rankings directly, that’s just a signal of the effect of the trademark dilution for the band. It’s proof of the damage.

They actually have a decent case here.

They’ve been a band with a trademarked name for 25 years. Netflix used that same name as part if the movie title. The band can show measurable harm to their trademarked brand, by citing Google search results for Demon Hunter.

I can’t imagine Netflix would change the name of the movie, but paying the band for the damage to their trademark, and compensation for having to rebrand and trademark a new band name is a reasonable cost of success for Netflix.

In short, it isn’t very Oniony

Don’t try to attach yourself to any specific label or ideology.
Anyone who calls themselves Capitalist, Socialist, Communist, or Anarchist, is going to be wrong somewhere.

There is no system that give the best outcomes in every situation. There is no one best answer for everything. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. Using the right one for the right situation is going to lead to the best outcomes. And sometimes even a blend will be best.

In short the world is very complex, and everyone is figuring it out as they go. Just be willing to learn and change your mind when the situation calls for it.
