Stability really matters particularly for the big energy names. Exploration and production stocks many of them like chesapeake down north of 25 . Take a l
They are written for scientists or technologists or experts in whatever the field is whether its mechanics or fluid dynamics or bio chemistry. And the Patent Office actually encourages you not to put too much background science into your patent, but its all deemed to be there. So, when a generalist judge gets one of these patent cases, they have to figure out what the patent means in order for them to figure out whether the patent is a valid claim of an invention and whether the defendants invention infringes the patent. And often thanks to a ruling the Supreme Court handed down close to 20 years ago called markman, they have whats called a markman hear chg is basically a little mini trial before the court, not a jury, where they decide what the terms in the patent mean. Often you have experts testify. Now, usually in federal court when you have experts come in and testify and the judge decides which expert he believes and which expert he doesnt, that is reviewed very deferential on ap
Fdrs first new deal the nra was unconstitutional because it delegated in the case of carter cole to a consortium of private entities, the coal miners Coal Company Officials and private citizens the power to set terms of competition and set wages and set working conditions, et cetera, essentially a delegated governmental functions to a private entity and that violated the constitution. That was one of the real major flash points of the new deal controversial between fdr and the Supreme Court back in the 1930s and since then there hadnt been another case holding that delegation was constitutional, but we have one now and its on the docket and, you know, ive given you a feel, i think, for what the challengers have said and will say in the Supreme Court. Ill give you a little bit of a feel for how were defending that statute. Were trying to defend this by narrowing the scope of the issue really in saying, look, the reality here is that it isnt right to think about this statute as a delegat
Job is i get to hang out with other people who are really trying to do very innovative things and be very creative. I talk about some of the data sets we use. Most people still dont know they exist despite great efforts from the city and others. And, you know, a lot of entrepreneurs that were looking for is the way to get leverage, a way to build an experience or build a product before we have 100,000 users using it. Open data is the key way to do that. You can start out with this experience, very lively and robust with very few users. And then when the first users come in, there is actually something for them to do and see. And i think that youll start to see as the data sets get more robust and a little bit better and hopefully as we get to improve them ourselves and put them back into the public domain, the innovation that comes off with them is just going to grow exponentially. This seems like a really important moment. The world of civic innovation until now has really been focuse
Health data palooza proceeded by health data jambs or modeling sessions, jams sounded more fun, we can invite entrepreneurs in and see what can be done and created Real Products within a few months. That is being rolled out at education, energy, treasury, u. S. Aid, other agencies as well. These programs are celebrating the use of open data and hopefully will provide some additional support. I think there are even folks here who have been part of these events. Were excited for that continued support and hope you can all join this initiative in the neutral. Future. So, earlier you were talking a little about kind of how San Francisco came in in terms of actually ading the officer. More broadly how do you think San Francisco compares and what are some of the other cities that are doing really well in terms of open data . I should be clear. When San Francisco is third, we have a pact. Ill add to that actually. Whats great in San Francisco is there is not just going to be a chief data offi
