Comment Re:Tree's aren't long term carbon sequestration (Score 1) 58

If your criterion is that whatever you do to capture carbon should be something that cannot be undone then there is no way to capture carbon, even mineralization can be undone if you heat it....which is done to make cement so even that is something that could happen.

Well, they german court only ruled the carbon must stay captured for atleast 25 years, but Apple couldn't even do that.

Comment Re:All this? For an..oximeter?? (Score 1) 57

So ya, Masimo's ITC judgement was for blood oximetry. Patents US10912502B2 and US10945648B2.

The real question is how the hell do we have a manufacturer getting new Patents in 2020 over a technology invented in the 1970s? Considering patent protection is only for 20 years, and hand-worn LED-based oximeters have been around for almost 50 years at this point.

It was for power saving while measuring blood oxigen, not the measuement itself. Apple believe they have worked around the patent by moving processing to the phone, since the patent doesnt cover the device being split over two devices.

Comment Re: Bye, UNESCO. It’s Not Us; It’s You (Score 1) 118

Losing the role as a major international trading currency is the ONLY way to ever fix US trade imbalance, it was only possible because the rest of the world needed more and more dollars for US-external trade, once that is gone, there is no growing external need for US dollars, and the trade "imbalance" will fix itself by making everything more expensive for US customers.
