abetancort··on Patent troll Sable pays up, dedicates all its patents to the public
The patent troll buys patents from inventors and then spend money enforcing it. Not much different from Cloudfare paying salaries to the inventors to become the patent holders and then enforcing it against third-parties.

Tech patents exist because companies like Clouldflare want to because they make money with them (suing people). If companies like Cloudfare did want all tech patents to be gone, they would be gone and no patent troll would be able to do anything about.

And they try lure you with $5.000 to do the work to get them off the hook? They are cheap and bunch hypocrites.

abetancort··on Discussions: Real human answers in search results
That is simply nonsense. You like NVIDIA that is fine... some other people value bang for the buck and go for AMD knowing the limitations fine. But just thinking that people are doing a concerted effort to try to pump a stock in a specialized group about building a PC is just simply insane... You better have it looked by a specialist, you may have a real problem.
abetancort··on Discussions: Real human answers in search results
Don't you know where are the experts... if you know where they are you only need to customize your search in Google to get the best results. Don't be so lazy, human intelligence is far more discerning that any available AI at the moment, most everything that champs AI or Machine Learning is neither anyways.
abetancort··on Discussions: Real human answers in search results
What ever, you are always better customizing your search with Google Search... Google is still the king of search, but you have to know how to utilize it. Forget about any other search engine. It baffles me that HN a community of nerds still doesn't know how to use Google Search. Kept it coming.
