VC-backed company just killed my EU trademark for a small OSS project

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-18 14:14:36

I run a small open-source project Deepkit (Trademark 017875717) I've been building for many years. It's not huge, just a few thousand users compared to the big OSS names, but to me it was worth protecting, so I trademarked the name in the EU and US a few years back. I had hoped to be protected from other corporations this way and live peacefully. A $160M-funded company named Deepki (Trademark 1751952) came along and filed for cancellation at EUIPO since they needed the trademark now after getti

How Stock Options Work

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-20 03:32:03

How Stock Options Work Employee stock-option programs are typically authorized by a company's board of directors (and have historically been approved by the shareholders) and give the company discretion to award options to employees equal to a certain percentage of the company's shares outstanding. Options give employees the right to buy a certain number of their company's shares at a fixed price for a certain period of time, usually 10 years. That price, usually the market price of the

Forget the Crypto Bros. Wall Street Is Driving the New Crypto Boom

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-11-20 18:38:24

The crypto market is on fire again, but this time, the fuel isn’t coming from “crypto bros” on social media. It’s coming from Wall Street, and it’s all based on a massive bet that the Federal Reserve is about to cut interest rates. Ether, the second-largest cryptocurrency, is leading the charge, surging nearly 10% in the past 24 hours to $4,723.26, bringing its all-time high of $4,878.26 within sight.

Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble?

news.ycombinator.com John Cassidy 2025-11-22 22:25:43

When Jensen Huang, the chief executive of the chipmaker Nvidia, met with Donald Trump in the White House last week, he had reason to be cheerful. Most of Nvidia’s chips, which are widely used to train generative artificial-intelligence models, are manufactured in Asia. Earlier this year, it pledged to increase production in the United States, and on Wednesday Trump announced that chip companies that promise to build products in the United States would be exempt from some hefty new tariffs on sem

The US economy seems to be doing gangbusters lately, largely thanks to incredible booms in the tech sector.

The Joy of Mixing Custom Elements, Web Components, and Markdown

The Joy of Mixing Custom Elements, Web Components, and Markdown I love Markdown. I write faster and more natively in it than any other format or tool. If we zoom way out, here’s the most basic philosophy of Markdown: replace complicated stuff with simpler stuff. That’s all it does, really. It replaces some tedious nested taggy stuff with way simpler stuff that makes more visual sense and is faster to type. At its core, Markdown is really just a bunch of macros.

Cybertruck Leads Tesla’s Used-Car Collapse

The Tesla Cybertruck was supposed to be the future. Unveiled in a now-infamous 2019 event where its supposedly “bulletproof” windows shattered on stage, the sci-fi pickup, with its polarizing stainless-steel design, was hyped by CEO Elon Musk as an indestructible vehicle that would completely disrupt the lucrative truck market. Today, that future looks like a commercial flop. Prices for used Cybertrucks are in a freefall, a stunning collapse that has become the most visible symbol of the deep a

Nvidia's set to regain some China access. But it still faces eroding AI chip market share

Nvidia 's H20 chips are likely to return to China, but tech experts don't expect them to be met with the same fanfare in the market in light of new competition and regulatory scrutiny. The Trump administration last month gave Nvidia assurances that it would be permitted to resume sales of its H20 chips to China, after their exports had been effectively banned in April. It also announced a new "fully compliant" made-for-China chip. The move was seen as a huge win for the company, which had flag

The anti-abundance critique on housing is wrong

The sharpest criticisms of the book Abundance have sometimes come from the antitrust movement. This group, mostly on the left, insists that the biggest problems in America typically come from monopolies and the corruption of big business. In housing, for example, Ezra Klein and I write that a key bottleneck to homebuilding in the last few decades has been legal barriers to construction, including zoning laws and minimum lot sizes.
