  • The amount of grands they get is enough to understand how one might be inclined to continue/prolong the research project they are doing. On the other hand there is the sunk cost fallacy. They spend all this time and effort on a research subject basically staking their whole carriers on it being right or giving results and they can’t give up. I’m guessing most is doing it because of the sunk cost fallacy.



  • I checked that case and it’s exactly as I said in my prior post. It was the surname of the owner and he was using it for his business long before the domain name registration Nissan Motors couldn’t get it. Because they sued him as a trademark infringement. In my opinion it’s nothing but an abuse of legal rights and court should have ruled so as well but I’m not the judge.

    So, if we turn back to the main subject you can’t claim infringement and damages from someone using their name.


  • Domain names and trademarks are regulated differently. Domain names registrations work on first come first served basis. While trademarks have legal requirements that needs to be fulfilled.

    If you have a prior trademark that’s the same as the domain name (considering it’s unique and not a general word like game, sex or food etc…) and your trademark is somewhat known than you can sue the domain name holder to get it back. This has so many details and requirements so I won’t get into that. I don’t know the details about the Nissan so can’t comment.

    As for trademarks and why it doesn’t work is you can’t sue anyone for using their own name. For example banking network SWIFT can’t sue Taylor Swift. Also for a trademark owner to claim infringement the party who is using the said trademarked name/word has to be doing the same or similar work, working in the same industry and/or doing something that’s detrimental to the trademark.

    I hope I made it more clear for you. Have good day.





  • There is no such thing as immutable or uncorruptable OS. My late father would always find a way to fuck up the laptop I setup for him. He would even come back with errors that I’ve seen for the first time and our conversation would go like this:

    Me: How did this happen? My Father: how should know? It was like this when I turned it on. Me: what did you do before you turned it off last time? My Father: I was on Facebook, played some backgammon and watched some YouTube. Me: …

    I miss him and I would gladly give everything to have him bother me with his laptop problems one more time. I hope that he is getting some good support where ever he is.

    I had 2 red parrots over 30 years ago. I can’t remember the species name. They used to flex the metal bars of the cage when they were bored. I had to bought heavy-duty gloves to handle them even than one of them bite me on my left pinky with the gloves and pierced the glove and my finger. Of I haven’t got the gloves on I’m pretty sure it would have ripped my finger off or caused severe injury.







  • Sorry for the late response. In real world it’s part of a Sufi Muslim belief where you take on something impossible or almost impossible to show how feeble and useless the real world. As far as I know almost all the tortoise trainers are part of such Sufi branches and believers. They did this as part of their beliefs. It’s almost impossible to teach anything to a tortoise in real life. If you search about the painting you’ll see that painter had 2 versions of this and later one had 6 tortoises showing that instead of solving his issues or problems or trials he add more on. Also the painter Osman Hamdi Bey was part of Sufi Muslim believer. It’s said that he painted himself as the tortoise trainer. I hope this cleared somethings.
