Crazy day in dropping huge lawsuits, what with RED & counter-suer Nikon dropping their lawsuits as well.

None of these have any resolution. The legal system just gets to keep ignoring the need to say anything about gobsmackingly massive situations.

Nokia or Nikon?

Nikon! Fixed, thanks!

This is bad news. Red has been using garbage patents (obfuscated Jpeg2000) to hold back compressed raw for years now :/ Nikon was on their way to invalidating those garbage patents. Not on the grounds of it being obvious technology using off the shelf third party algorithms, but on technicality - RED showed the tech and took preorders before applying for patents https://www.dpreview.com/news/9301564383/nikon-denies-red-s-...

Who can actually read these subscribers-only articles proliferating from Bloomberg on HN?

That said, I’m personally all for subscriptions but don’t see a way forward for something like HN sharing of essentially private content.

Yeah it's annoying. Onus should be on the OP to provide a readable alternative, most don't and it gets left to helpful people like in the sibling comment here.

I think sometimes the OP doesn't realise or has forgotten it can't be seen by others, but in many cases it's maybe laziness.

The guidelines don't help in saying criticism is off limits either, it's too regular an issue.

We either all complain about click-bait journalism and privacy invading ads, or we pay money for good content.

Take your pick of what world you want to live in.

I want to have a pile of money I put money into and then, for every news article I consider reading, I want to have that website extract a little bit of the money from that pile.

I don't want to spend $20 / mo for NYT or WSJ or any newspaper.

The incumbent seem to be nervous about RISC-V and new companies disrupting the market.

Interesting. I am wondering if that is something Qualcomm has contributed to.

Keeping up with the FAANG execs, a subscriber exclusive show by Bloomberg.

Who am I kidding, there's enough audience for it I guess.

Williams was a key player in the rise of Apple Silicon and Apple’s been struggling since his departure:
