Podcasts about Intellectual Ventures

This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we're featuring highlights from a live interview with Nathan Myhrvold, CEO of Intellectual Ventures and former chief technology officer at Microsoft. Myhrvold worked at Microsoft from 1986 to 2000, where he laid the groundwork for Microsoft Research, recruited top computer scientists, and played a key role in shaping the company’s technology strategy. Since leaving Microsoft, he has worked across fields including energy, science, physics, paleontology, photography, and high-tech cuisine. In this conversation, recorded at Town Hall Seattle as part of GeekWire’s Microsoft@50 event, Myhrvold shares his thoughts on the rise of AI, his longtime collaboration with Bill Gates, the future of energy, the secrets of Microsoft’s success, and what’s next in his Modernist Cuisine book series. Edited by Curt Milton; With GeekWire co-founder Todd Bishop.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nathan Myhrvold likes to challenge conventional wisdom. When the founder and CEO of Intellectual Ventures (and former Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft) isn't running one of the world's leading invention businesses, he's busy doing norm-defying research on topics like dinosaur bone density, asteroid sizing, and the proper way to knead dough. Kara and Nathan talk about everything from AI, politics, nuclear power, and global warming to “splash shots” — photographs of colliding wine glasses. Questions? Comments?

This week my guest is Nathan Myhrvold of Modernist Cuisine. Nathan graduated high school and went to college at 14. He holds a doctorate in theoretical and mathematical physics, as well as a master's degree in mathematical economics, from Princeton University. His master's degree is in geophysics and space physics, and he did postdoctoral cosmology work with Stephen Hawking. Nathan then spent 14 years at Microsoft, where he was their first Chief Technology Officer.While working at Microsoft, he took a leave of absence to earn his culinary diploma from École de Cuisine La Varenne in France. Myhrvold retired from Microsoft in 1999 to found Intellectual Ventures and pursue several interests. Inspired by the void in literature about culinary science and the cutting-edge techniques used in the world's best restaurants, Myhrvold assembled the Modernist Cuisine team to share the art andscience of cooking with others. In the culinary world, Nathan is known for his cooking lab, and the in-depth book sets Modernist Cuisine, Modernist Bread, and Modernist Pizza, as well as Modernist Cuisine at Home, and Modernist Bread at Home. His photography is sold at Modernist Cuisine Gallery by Nathan Myhrvold with locations in Seattle, New Orleans, and La Jolla.Topics discussed:The upcoming Modernist Pastry booksPizza-making at homeWhat is Modernist Cuisine?Breaking culinary traditions, and exploring cooking myths and loreMicrowaves, safety, and how they workCooking equipment such as combi ovens and induction cooktopsSustainability as it relates to the food and beverage industry NATHAN MYHRVOLD and MODERNIST CUISINENathan's WebsiteModernist Cuisine Website, Instagram and Facebook The Modernist Pizza PodcastCHEFS WITHOUT RESTAURANTSIf you enjoy the show and would like to support it financially, please check out our Sponsorship page (we get a commission when you use our links).  Get the Chefs Without Restaurants NewsletterChefs Without Restaurants Instagram and ThreadsThe Chefs Without Restaurants Private Facebook GroupChris Spear's personal chef business Perfect Little BitesSPONSOR INFOHeaven Hill Bottled-In-Bond BourbonI'm excited to introduce you to Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond bourbon.

 Well, if you ever got tired of listening to me, talk. Today's the day when you just get to hear from my buddy, Chris Young, because I wound him up and clicked go, and he just talks, and it's great. He has so much, interesting experience and amazing insights. So Chris Young, if you don't know, I met him back when we started the Intellectual Ventures Lab, because he was the guy that Nathan Myhrvold hired to start the cooking projects. We built an experimental kitchen there. Chris ran the project called Modernist Cuisine. Which ended up publishing a 2,400 page cookbook on the science of cooking. That won every award in the world. It's literally a monument to modernist cooking. And these are new techniques for chefs and we talk about that a bunch today. Before that Chris had created the experimental lab at the Fat Duck and that's Heston Blumenthal's restaurant outside of London. Usually considered, if not the best restaurant on Earth, a contender. Since publishing Modernist Cuisine, Chris started a company called ChefSteps to popularize sous vide, which is the most successful of the techniques so far invented by modernists. You have to learn to sous vide. It's super easy. You can make everything you do come out perfectly. After selling that company to Breville, Chris started a new company called Combustion and Combustion is really cool startup. There's lots of lessons in here for entrepreneurs and folks who are making products. Chris is an amazing entrepreneur, very dedicated, really good at figuring out how to make everything work. Combustion is a difficult company to do because it's hardware and software; and it's in the kitchen; and it is hundreds of degrees, Fahrenheit. So it was just a lot to deal with. It's great to learn these lessons and they're shipping now and very successful with it. And then Chris has a YouTube channel called Chris Young Cooks, where he's doing some of the cool stuff that we used to do on Modernist Cuisine. Cool photography, but doing it for video and sharing some of the insights that they have about cooking. So anyway, You're going to have a blast listening to Chris. Important Links Intellectual Ventures Lab Modernist Cuisine The Fat Duck Combustion Chris Young Cooks About Chris Young Chris Young is a chef-scientist known for applying science and technology to create culinary experiences that earlier generations would never have imagined. Before becoming a chef, Young completed degrees in mathematics and biochemistry at the University of Washington. Unfulfilled with a life in the hard sciences, Young left his doctoral work behind for a job as a chef at one of Seattle's top-rated restaurants, Mistral. Young's expertise wasn't long secluded to the American Northwest. From 2003 to 2007, Young worked with the world-famous chef Heston Blumenthal to oversee development of some of his most innovative dishes. In 2004, Young opened The Fat Duck Experimental Kitchen, leading a team of more than six full-time chefs and coordinating the work of several consulting scientists. Beyond developing new dishes for The Fat Duck's menu, Young was responsible for recipe development for the critically acclaimed first and second seasons of BBC's “In Search of Perfection: With Heston Blumenthal.” In 2007, Young was asked by the renowned technologist, inventor, and accomplished cook Nathan Myhrvold to return to Seattle to work at Intellectual Ventures. Alongside Myrhvold, Young helped research, experiment, and eventually coauthor the eagerly anticipated, industry game-changing Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking. In 2012, along with Modernist Cuisine colleagues Chef Grant Lee Crilly and photographer Ryan Matthew Smith, Young co-launched an online-based culinary school ChefSteps, using an underground space beneath Seattle's Pike Place Market. Their mission: teaching people how to utilize modern techniques in their cooking. He is the founder and owner at Combustion Inc., a company that builds nice things that make cooking more enjoyable. Like a thermometer that's wireless, oven-safe, and uses machine learning to do what no other thermometer can: predict your food's cooking and resting times with uncanny accuracy.

He has also been a Kauffman Fellow. Mark holds PhD. in Bioengineering from University of Pennsylvania. Key Insights: At 9 minutes and 5 seconds I would say to the listeners, just substitute the person's judgement - the one who's struggling - and do what they want. Doesn't matter, whatever it is you think. At 24 minutes and 30 seconds But you can break that balkanization that there's your family, caregivers, people in your life previously who are caregivers. At 29 minutes and 32 seconds I think one of the rules that makes it a safe place for investment has been, that if you ultimately can develop a therapeutic benefit for patients, it's going to be a winner, and the details that don't matter very much. At 47 minutes at 50 seconds There's a lot of interest in seeing how to use nutrition to help with cancer therapy. There's hints of efficacy that are very promising. Now how you go from there to developing a therapy thing is a really important question that I find very interesting.

The golden age for patent brokers has come and gone but that doesn't stop Louis Carbonneau.  “There are very, very few patent brokers nowadays. We're just one of a handful left. And frankly, we get about four or five portfolios every single day that people want us to broker. We only say yes 1% or 2% of the time.” As one of the world's leading patent brokers, the CEO and Founder of Tangible IP has brokered over 4,500 patents and boasts close to 30 years in the industry.  With experience as Microsoft's former General Manager of International IP & Licensing, Carbonneau has sat on many sides of the table. He shares his adventures in the industry (and lessons learned).  Carbonneau tells behind-the-scenes stories from his time at Microsoft, the common pitfalls of patent licensing, and why price isn't always an essential part of the conversation when buying and selling intellectual property.  “Some people will not even want to acquire patents for free if they don't like the patents because then they have to start paying for maintenance fees and prosecution fees. It's like a free puppy. It's only free for a few hours, and after that, you start paying,” says Carbonneau.  The episode also offers insight into a typical IP transaction at Carbonneau's firm, helping those interested in selling their patents to understand what brokers — and buyers — are looking for in a deal.  Episode Highlights  [02:45] Dinosaurs and Microsoft: joining Microsoft's legal team as a result of the acquisition of Softimage, the computer graphics company behind Jurassic Park.   [05:18] How a cross-licensing deal saved Apple: how a creative deal offered by Microsoft – in midst of its antitrust battles in the late 90s – helped save Apple.  [08:45] From licensing products to IP: under the direction of Marshall Phelps, a new addition to Microsoft's team, Carbonneau began harvesting the intellectual property from Microsoft's many research labs around the world.   [14:13] Balancing budgets: the complicated role of finance in licensing and monetizing intellectual property within a corporation. Which department owns a patent can make a big difference in how the intellectual property is managed.  [17:38] The golden age of patent brokerage: the creation of Intellectual Ventures and how he eventually founded his own brokerage firm, Tangible IP.  [24:49] What makes a good deal?: Carbonneau walks us through what makes (or doesn't make) a good patent transaction. Ultimately, it is challenging to calculate the ROI of large deals.  [28:11] Changing tides: Carbonneau explains the change in the patent landscape as a result of the creation of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and the subject matter eligibility mess. [32:53] A typical transaction: Carbonneau outlines his brokerage firm's intake process and share what he's looking for when he's helping to sell patent assets.  [37:10] The dirty little secret: Carbonneau shares the strategy used by many big corporations.  [39:35] Seller pitfalls: Who's looking to sell their patents and what do they do wrong? [44:47] Patent prosecution is ‘part art, part science': discussion of what makes patents valuable and best practices for patent law.  [49:37] The perfect patent: It's hard to find the patent that everybody likes and it's not always about price. Carbonneau talks about the challenges he faces helping his buyers find patents worth acquiring.  [52:46] The IP ecosystem: Carbonneau walks us through the many players within the intellectual property industry and discusses the division of labor for the buying and selling of intellectual property.  [59:48] You've been warned: the challenges of being a patent broker with the current legal landscape  

In this episode, Insight Provider Pyari Menon shares his stock ideas based on data mined from technical publications. Such publications, like patents and research papers, cross-reference other existing publications, which provide valuable insights into the views of experts in specific technologies and hence their likelihood of success. Pyari data mines thousands of these publications and mentions to provide insights that typical analyst reports might not discuss. Many of these innovations start to show up in the P&L and share price performance two or three years down the line, and could help with stock picking and portfolio allocation, as well as potentially generating alpha. -- Follow Pyari's work: https://skr.ma/Ax7swkYziE2aytcj7 Smartkarma subscribers can access the presentation slides here: https://skr.ma/LMCmTU6d6mXD45b46 -- Pyari Menon has over twenty years of experience in the industry, having worked on both the buy and sell-side including at Goldman Sachs, Credit-Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Intellectual Ventures, Tano Capital, and Franklin Templeton.

How A Former Microsoft Exec Mastered The Perfect Slice—Using Science Who doesn't love pizza? It's a magical combination of sauce, cheese, crust, and maybe even a topping or two. Depending on where you eat it, the ratio of sauce and cheese and toppings changes: Neapolitan, NY Style, and Chicago Deep Dish each have a slightly different recipe. And different methods of baking impart their signature flavor on the end result—whether that's coal, wood, or gas-fired ovens. Nearly every country in the world has some type of variation on the classic. Author Nathan Myhrvold visited over 250 pizzerias all over the world to appreciate their differences. Then he made over 12,000 pizzas, using physics and chemistry to tweak each one slightly. Myhrvold and his co-author, chef Francisco Migoya wrote all about the gourmand experiment in a three-volume, 35-pound set of beautifully illustrated and painstakingly researched books. Ira talks with Nathan Myhrvold, former CTO at Microsoft, founder of Intellectual Ventures and Modernist Cuisine about his discoveries and his most recent book, Modernist Pizza. E.O. Wilson's Indelible Mark On Ecology Ecologist and ant biologist Edward O. Wilson (often called E. O. Wilson) died December 26, at the age of 92. Though he was known for his study of ants and their social behavior, his impact extended much further—from sociobiology, the study of the influence of genetics on behavior, to the way science was taught and understood. His writing twice won the Pulitzer Prize. Wilson appeared on Science Friday many times. In this short remembrance of Wilson, Ira replays selections from past conversations with the scientist, recorded between 2006 and 2013.   The Fossil—And Family—Records Of Richard Leakey Paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey died on January 2 at the age of 77. The Kenyan conservationist and fossil hunter was the son of paleoanthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey, who helped redefine the early parts of the human family tree. Richard was part of the team that discovered ‘Turkana Boy,' a Homo erectus skeleton—one of the most complete early hominin skeletons ever found. In later years, he was the director of the National Museum of Kenya, the head of the Kenya Wildlife Service, helped found a political party, and led the Kenyan Civil Service in the midst of an anti-corruption campaign. In this edited interview from 2011, Leakey describes his work in the field, his famous fossil-hunting lineage, and his desire to convince skeptics of the reality of human evolution.  

After the international success of Modernist Cuisine, followed a few years later by the equally impressive Modernist Bread, author/publisher Nathan Myhrvold and his talented team of food geniuses are back with the eye-popping, four-volume boxed set, Modernist Pizza. It has everything you could possibly want to know about pizza and more, accompanied by the always spectacular in-your-face photography for which the Modernist books are known. In this lively conversation, Nathan tells us all about his early days as an assistant to Stephen Hawking, his role as chief technology officer at Microsoft, his work as technical advisor to Steven Spielberg for the Jurassic Park films, founder of Intellectual Ventures where he invests in world changing inventions, and how all of this intersects with his lifelong passion for food, cooking and, now, pizza. It's quite a journey, and we'll hear all about it on Pizza Quest with Peter Reinhart, on HRN.Click here for the video versions of Pizza Quest. If you count on HRN content, become a monthly sustaining donor at heritageradionetwork.org/donate.Pizza Quest is Powered by Simplecast.

“Jeff [Roh] knew for every person like [him], who is able to succeed, there's countless others who aren't. They just fall flat because they encounter resistance and give up. And so he was on a mission to make other inventors and surgeons be successful as well." Don't miss this latest episode of Clause 8 with President and Chief Legal Officer of IntuitiveX, Mark Han, about the new business model they have created to help innovators in the medical field.  Mark cut his teeth working for the largest and most notorious “patent troll” Intellectual Ventures (IV).  During the episode, Mark talks about what he learned from that experience and why he's now excited to be in the business of bringing new products to market and building  new companies at IntuitiveX.  “A lot of the large companies like Medtronic, they used to have a massive R&D team in-house. A ton of individuals whose jobs are just to invent new things and develop new products from within that company. Now, the model has shifted and those same companies are looking toward smaller companies to de-risk these ideas for them and get a little market traction." Mark talks about how IntuitiveX uses the patent process to advance breakthroughs in medtech and life sciences in ways that are not possible in other fields.  “What IntuitiveX does differently is, we actually want to either invent or help inventors. And we specialize in the medical and life science space. We help clients protect their ideas, develop prototypes, test, validate, raise money, set up manufacturing capabilities, regulatory expertise to get FDA approval, and then ultimately bring the product to market.” This is an incredibly insightful episode exploring first hand how the patent process helps innovative individuals and small companies bring their medtech ideas to fruition.  On today's podcast: Intellectual Ventures How to identify and acquire valuable portfolios The “patent troll” narrative How IntuitiveX is advancing medtech What IntuitiveX look for in an innovators and their inventions Taking Amplify Surgical from idea to market   Links: Intuitive X Amplify Surgical

Khí hậu Trái đất nóng lên với tốc độ nhanh chóng. Mục tiêu không để nhiệt độ Trái đất tăng quá 2°C dường như ngày càng bất khả thi. Trong bối cảnh mục tiêu hạn chế khí thải kịp thời ngày càng vượt quá tầm tay của nhân loại, tham vọng dùng công nghệ can thiệp trực tiếp vào khí hậu để hãm lại đà gia tăng nhiệt độ là điều ngày càng được nhắc đến nhiều, sau một thời gian dài bị cho là điều « kiêng kỵ ». Dùng công nghệ can thiệp vào khí hậu cụ thể là gì ? Vì sao công nghệ can thiệp khí hậu trở lại ào ạt ? Và vì sao giới khoa học hết sức thận trọng với công nghệ khí hậu ? Trên đây là các chủ đề chính của Tạp chí Xã hội  RFI tuần này. « Kế hoạch B » ào ạt trở lại Hàng loạt « công nghệ can thiệp làm hạn chế nhiệt độ Trái đất » được quảng bá, như thả các hoạt chất vào bầu khí quyển để ngăn ánh sáng Mặt trời, sơn trắng các mái nhà để phản xạ ánh sáng, đưa gương khổ lớn lên không trung để phản chiếu ánh sáng, hay kích thích các loài phù du trong đại dương để tăng cường khả năng hấp thụ khí thải gây hiệu ứng nhà kính…  Trong một thời gian dài, giới khoa học đã coi đây là « kế hoạch B » (tức kế hoạch phụ) tránh được nhắc đến, bởi sẽ đánh lạc hướng giới chính trị khỏi « kế hoạch A », tức kế hoạch cắt giảm khí thải, hướng đến mục tiêu trung hòa về khí thải. Tuy nhiên, giờ đây, khi kế hoạch A rất khó có khả năng thực hiện đúng hạn, kế hoạch B trở lại ồ ạt. Điều khiến nhiều nhà khí hậu học lo ngại là bản thân nhóm GIEC, nhóm chuyên gia quốc tế về biến đổi khí hậu, cũng đã đưa công nghệ khí hậu vào chương trình hành động.  Trang mạng khoa học Pháp Futura Sciences có bài tổng thuật thú vị về chủ đề này, với tựa đề « Công nghệ Khí hậu : ý tưởng tốt hay dở ? Các chuyên gia giải mã ». Khách mời của chương trình là nhà vật lý học David Keith, đại học Havard, và nhà sử học Régis Briday, Đại học Paris Est-Créteil. Nhà sử học Régis Briday trước hết nhấn mạnh đến tính chất đa nghĩa xung quanh khái niệm công nghệ khí hậu geo-ingenierie, điều khiến nhiều người cảm thấy đây là một lĩnh vực khó hiểu. Nhà sử học Pháp chọn cách định nghĩa công nghệ khí hậu theo hướng là các công nghệ can thiệp vào khí hậu trên quy mô lớn, trực tiếp làm biến đổi khí hậu, để phân biệt với các loại công nghệ can thiệp nhưng theo hướng gián tiếp, bằng cách hấp thu, để hạn chế khí thải, thông qua việc trồng rừng hay chôn giữ khí thải, và khá gần với nhóm này là các công nghệ hút khí thải từ khí quyển. Chính mảng can thiệp trực tiếp và hướng đến tác động nhanh chóng khiến khí hậu chậm nóng lên, thậm chí lạnh đi, là điều gây nhiều lo ngại và tranh cãi nhất hiện nay. Điểm được giới quan sát đặc biệt chú ý là tại Hoa Kỳ, công nghệ can thiệp trực tiếp ở quy mô lớn nhằm hãm lại đà Trái đất hâm nóng thu hút sự chú ý của giới bảo thủ, vốn là những người phủ nhận thực tế biến đổi khí hậu, do các hoạt động của con người. Kênh truyền hình Arte Pháp – Đức vừa giới thiệu một bộ phim về chủ đề « Những kẻ học nghề phù thủy », giới thiệu ngọn nguồn lịch sử của công nghệ khí hậu. Trong bộ phim « Những kẻ học nghề phù thủy », nhà triết học Úc Clive Hamilton, chuyên về các vấn đề đạo lý khoa học nhận xét : « Tại Hoa Kỳ, có nhiều nhóm tư vấn, gây ảnh hưởng, theo tư tưởng bảo thủ, kiên quyết phủ nhận, từ nhiều năm nay, các kết luận của khoa học về khí hậu. Họ đã tấn công các nhà khí hậu học, gây khó khăn cho hoạt động của các chuyên gia của GIEC - nhóm chuyên gia liên chính phủ về khí hậu của Liên Hiệp Quốc. Kết luận Trái đất bị hâm nóng do hoạt động của con người tạo ra khí thải bị họ lên án là ‘‘trò bịa đặt’’, ‘‘lừa đảo’’, ‘‘bịp bợm’’… Họ bác bỏ tất cả mọi biện pháp hướng đến cắt giảm khí thải gây hiệu ứng nhà kính, cổ vũ cho các loại năng lượng tái tạo, cũng như việc tăng cường sử dụng năng lượng tiết kiệm và hiệu quả tại Hoa Kỳ. Tuy nhiên, đây lại cũng chính là các nhóm ủng hộ ‘‘công nghệ can thiệp khí hậu’’. Chúng ta có thể đặt câu hỏi: tại sao các nhóm này lại ủng hộ các giải pháp cho một vấn đề mà theo họ là không hề tồn tại ? ». Đơn giản, tiết kiệm, hiệu quả ngay lập tức Vì sao giới bảo thủ tại Mỹ đặc biệt quan tâm đến công nghệ can thiệp khí hậu? Tìm các giải pháp đơn giản nhất, kinh tế nhất, hiệu quả nhất cho cuộc khủng hoảng khí hậu hiện nay là chủ trương của nhiều người ủng hộ « công nghệ can thiệp khí hậu », như nhà sáng chế Nathan Myhrvold, nhà sáng lập và chủ tịch của công ty Intellectual Ventures, được tạp chí Foreign Policy xếp trong 100 tư tưởng gia có ảnh hưởng nhất hiện nay. Trong bộ phim « Những kẻ học nghề phù thủy », nhà sáng chế Nathan Myhrvold giải thích tham vọng của ông:   « Chúng tôi đã cố gắng tìm kiếm giải pháp thực tế nhất, kinh tế nhất cho vấn đề này. Chúng tôi cũng tìm cách xác định số lượng vật liệu cần sử dụng. Chúng tôi đã thiết kế ra một hệ thống gọi là StratoShield – hay ‘‘lá chắn bình lưu’’. Liệu có cần phun vào khí quyển hàng tỉ tấn hạt siêu nhỏ để ngăn ánh sáng Mặt trời không ? Không, chỉ cần một số lượng rất nhỏ là đủ ! Chúng ta chỉ cần phun vào bầu khí quyển một lượng nhỏ các hạt, nhờ ở một chiếc ống, vươn lên trời nhờ một hệ thống khinh khí cầu hình chữ V.  Một chiếc ống linh hoạt, không khác mấy so với chiếc ống mà quý vị vẫn dùng để tưới vườn. Chiếc ống này nối liền mặt đất với tầng bình lưu của khí quyển ».   Võ « chạy làng » của các thế lực « bảo thủ » Cũng trong bộ phim của Arte, nhà vật lý học David W. Keith, đại học Havard, Hoa Kỳ, một người chủ trương đẩy mạnh công nghệ can thiệp khí hậu, đã phê phán việc chính phủ Anh gần đây thực hiện một cuộc thực nghiệm trên quy mô lớn, nhằm rút ra các mặt lợi, mặt hại. Nhà vật lý đại học Havard ủng hộ các can thiệp quy mô nhỏ, mang lại các hiệu quả rõ ràng, tức thời, với rất ít tổn phí:   « Tác động sẽ rất hạn chế. Chúng tôi chỉ rải xuống khoảng 100 gram lưu huỳnh, tương đương với lượng chất thải ra của một phi cơ thương mại, trong vòng một phút đồng hồ. Nhiều người phản đối thực nghiệm này. Tuy nhiên, nguy cơ là hết sức nhỏ ở quy mô như vậy. Đây là một thực nghiệm đầu tiên kiểu này ở tầng bình lưu. Một phần tiền đầu tư cho thực nghiệm đến từ Bill Gates, một phần đến từ một số công ty khởi nghiệp. Tuy nhiên, chúng tôi không làm thực nghiệm này, nếu như thực nghiệm này không được tài trợ trước hết bởi một cơ quan khoa học của Nhà nước ». Ảnh hưởng của giới vận động hành lang tại Mỹ đã có kết quả. Cuối năm 2019, chính quyền Mỹ lần đầu tiên cấp ngân sách 4 triệu đô la cho Cơ quan Khí tượng Quốc gia (NOOA), để nghiên cứu về công nghệ khí hậu. NOOA phụ trách kiểm soát và nghiên cứu tầng khí quyển bình lưu, là vùng khí quyển mà các công nghệ khí hậu hiện nay tìm cách can thiệp. Đây cũng là lần đầu tiên, Quốc Hội Mỹ đề xuất một dự luật nhằm cho phép NOOA hoạch định một chương trình chính thức, để tiến hành các nghiên cứu can thiệp khí hậu, bao gồm cả việc rải bụi kim loại lên tầng bình lưu. Trở lại với câu hỏi ở trên, tại sao các nhóm này lại ủng hộ các giải pháp can thiệp để hạn chế Trái đất bị hâm nóng, trong lúc chính họ phủ nhận đây là một thực tế ? Theo nhiều nhà quan sát, không khó để nhận ra là giới vận động cho các công nghệ can thiệp vào khí quyển, khi đề xuất các biện pháp này, đã tránh cho các tập đoàn công nghiệp gây khí thải phải đối mặt với trách nhiệm của họ, tránh cho việc áp đặt các khoản thuế đánh vào khí thải các-bon, tránh áp lực gia tăng buộc guồng máy kinh tế toàn cầu phải chuyển đổi triệt để, nhân loại phải thay đổi lối sống dựa trên việc tiêu thụ ngày càng nhiều tài nguyên thiên nhiên như hiện nay… « Hô mây gọi gió »: Vũ khí đáng sợ Nhất cử lưỡng tiện : các biện pháp công nghệ khí hậu vừa cho phép giới kinh doanh, các nhà tài phiệt tránh đối mặt với các thách thức hạn chế khí thải, lại vừa tạo ra các thị trường béo bở mới. Tuy nhiên, nhiều chuyên gia khí hậu cũng cảnh báo việc áp dụng các công nghệ khí hậu có thể mang lại một số lợi ích trước mắt, như có thể giúp giảm nhiệt độ tại một số khu vực trên Trái đất, nhưng cũng gây các hậu quả kinh hoàng: việc giảm nhiệt độ hay tạo mưa tại nơi này có thể dẫn đến khô hạn tại các vùng khác, tình trạng sa mạc hóa, cơ chế gió theo mùa cũng có thể bị xáo trộn thậm chí biến mất… Việc ngăn chặn ánh sáng Mặt trời cũng có thể gây những hậu quả không cứu vãn được đối với các hệ sinh thái. Tham vọng của giới công nghệ khí hậu hiện nay là điều không phải mới. Bộ phim « Những kẻ học nghề phù thủy » trên Arte giới thiệu với công chúng về cội nguồn lịch sử của can thiệp về khí hậu, thời tiết, thoạt tiên được sử dụng như một vũ khí chiến tranh giữa Mỹ và Đức trong Thế chiến Hai, hay giữa Hoa Kỳ và Liên Xô trong thời Chiến tranh Lạnh. Vũ khí thời tiết là một vũ khí tuyệt mật từng được sử dụng trong chiến tranh Việt Nam ( gây mưa lớn kéo dài, nhằm ngăn cản việc di chuyển của đối phương ), trước khi các siêu cường thỏa thuận chấm dứt sử dụng vũ khí khí hậu, vì sợ các hệ quả không lường. Việc dùng công nghệ khí hậu giờ đây để can thiệp nhằm hạn chế tốc độ Trái đất bị hâm nóng bị nhiều nhà khí hậu học xem như là giải pháp liều lĩnh của những kẻ vì ảo tưởng sức mạnh mà đánh cược số phận của nhân loại. Ác quỷ Frankenstein thời hiện đại Năm 1816, núi lửa Tambora, Indonesia, thức dậy, khiến cả nhân loại rơi vào đại họa. Cũng chính trong dịp này, ra đời cuốn tiểu thuyết với nhân vật bác sĩ Frankenstein nổi tiếng. Trong bộ phim « Những kẻ học nghề phù thủy », triết gia Úc Clive Hamilton so sánh tham vọng của bác sĩ Frankenstein với những nhà công nghệ khí hậu đương đại : « Tiểu tựa của tiểu thuyết của Mary Shelley là ‘‘người hùng Prométhée thời hiện đại’’. Các vị biết là bác sĩ Frankenstein muốn tạo ra sự sống. Ông ta đã thâu lượm nhiều phần của cơ thể con người. Nhờ vào kiến thức y học của mình, bác sĩ Frankenstein đã chế ra một thứ tạo vật, mà ông thổi vào đó hơi thở của sự sống. Tuy nhiên, khi con quái vật sống dậy, bác sĩ Frankeinstein nhận ra rằng ông không còn có khả năng kiểm soát được nó. Nhiều nhà khoa học lo sợ rằng, nếu người ta sử dụng công nghệ khí hậu để hóa giải thách thức khí hậu, nhân loại cũng sẽ đi đến một hậu quả tương tự. Người ta sẽ có thể đi đến chỗ tạo ra một thứ khí hậu quái ác - kinh dị, dựa trên thiên tài công nghệ của nhân loại hiện nay, với mục tiêu làm biến đổi hệ thống khí hậu, chinh phục khí hậu và điều chỉnh khí hậu. Nếu điều này xảy ra, thì đây sẽ là khát vọng điên rồ nhất mà nhân loại biến thành hiện thực ». Hiệp định khí hậu mà cộng đồng quốc tế đúc kết năm 2015 đã đề ra mục tiêu không để nhiệt độ Trái đất tăng quá 2°C, nếu không, biến đổi khí hậu sẽ gây ra các hệ quả vượt quá khả năng đối phó của con người. Tuy nhiên, vào thời điểm hiện tại, căn cứ trên các cam kết và hành động cụ thể đang được thực hiện, khả năng giới hạn nhiệt độ ở mức 2°C là điều bất khả thi. Đây là bối cảnh khiến các công nghệ khí hậu trở lại mạnh mẽ. Nhiều nhà quan sát cảnh báo công nghệ khí hậu có thể dẫn đến các xung đột địa chính trị quy mô lớn trong tương lai.

Nathan Myhrvold is no ordinary chef. With two master’s degrees (one in mathematical economics, the other in geophysics and space physics) and a Ph.D. in theoretical and mathematical physics, he is also a technologist who did postdoctoral research with Stephen Hawking. From 1986 to 1999, Myhrvold was the chief strategist and chief technology officer at Microsoft, where he worked closely with Bill Gates on future planning and developing the company’s software. (During this time, he also co-authored Gates’s 1995 best-seller, The Road Ahead; in 1999, at age 40, he retired from the company.) Now, as the CEO of the firm Intellectual Ventures, which he co-founded in 2000, he develops and licenses intellectual property. The company owns upwards of 30,000 assets, nearly 900 of which were invented by Myrhvold himself. So where does cooking come in? Long a gastronomer and foodie (before the latter term was even a thing), Myhrvold began to pursue his passion for cuisine early on. During his Microsoft years (with Gates’s blessing), he took time off to attend the La Varenne cooking school in Burgundy, and later even apprenticed part-time at Rover's restaurant in Seattle. For a time, he was the “chief gastronomic officer” of the Zagat Survey. It wasn’t until about a decade ago, though, that things really took off for Myhrvold on the food front. In 2011, he established a full-fledged publishing platform with the release of his six-volume Modernist Cuisine, an encyclopedic whirlwind into the science of contemporary cooking. A behemoth of a book, at 2,438 pages, it took about three years to produce, with several dozen people involved. Subsequent iterations have followed: Modernist Cuisine at Home (2012), The Photography of Modernist Cuisine (2013), and Modernist Bread (2017). A Modernist Pizza book is currently in the works. The series has become a cult favorite, highly respected by many of the world’s top chefs, including Thomas Keller and Heston Blumenthal. Especially remarkable about the project—aside from the inventive recipes—is the hyperrealist, meticulously executed photography. Many of the pictures are made through a “cutaway” technique involving machinery to that slices pots, pans, and ovens in half to offer a literal inside look into the processes behind the dishes—a pork roast atop embers, say, or broccoli steaming in a pot. It is through these images that Myhrvold's many talents and interests in science, food, and art collide, and to potent effect. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Spencer speaks with Myhrvold about his journey into sous vide cooking, the problems he sees with the Slow Food movement, why food photography has never been considered a high art, and more.

Bradley and Karen discuss the details of the completion of the lawsuit (which Conservancy supported) between Christoph Hellwig and VMware in Germany. Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:37) Bradley mentioned the episode of Red Dwarf, White Hole, where the characters are speaking too slowly or two quickly due to time differentials. (01:30) Bradley explained that the Hellwig vs. VMware suit in Germany has concluded. (03:30) German is a civil law legal system. (05:15) Christoph Hellwig announced on his website that he has decided not to appeal. (07:18) Bradley did a technical analysis how much of Christoph's code appeared in the infringing VMware product. (07:50) Till Jaeger was Christoph's lawyer; Till was also the lawyer for Harald Welte's (currently defunct) gpl-violations.org project. (09:04) Segment 1 (09:26) “Trolling” refers to being a non-practicing entity. Patrick McHardy is specifically a practicing entity, since he upstreamed a lot of code in Linux. (09:50) Bradley was thinking of the patent troll, Intellectual Ventures. (10:40) Bradley that the Eastern district of Texas hears many patent cases in the USA. (10:50) Bradley mentioned a This American Life, Episode 411, which discussed patents. Show hosts/producers Laura Sydell and Alex Blumberg visit one of those “empty-but-not” office buildings in the Eastern District of Texas. (11:18) Bradley and Karen wrote about Patrick McHardy's behavior back in July 2016 — Conservancy was the first to talk about it publicly. Bradley sought to prevent the “compliance industrial complex” from using knowledge of Patrick's behavior to unduly scare people. (13:10) Conservancy (with FSF) also published the Principles of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement (15:10) The rest of the Netfilter team, except for Patrick McHardy, endorsed the Principles. (16:30) The VMware suit started 2015-03-05, and began before Patrick McHardy started his problematic behavior. While the VMware suit was working its way through the court, McHardy had filed many inappropriate lawsuits. (18:30) German court decisions are very rarely published, but thanks to hard work by everyone involved, the appeal decision, and the lower Court's decision (the latter of which was also translated into English.) (27:30) Segment 2 (33:01) In the next episode, Karen will discuss the Kernel Enforcement Statement Additional Permission, and the Red Hat “Cooperation Commitment”.

Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:37) Bradley mentioned the episode of Red Dwarf, White Hole, where the characters are speaking too slowly or two quickly due to time differentials. (01:30) Bradley explained that the Hellwig vs. VMware suit in Germany has concluded. (03:30) German is a civil law legal system. (05:15) Christoph Hellwig announced on his website that he has decided not to appeal. (07:18) Bradley did a technical analysis how much of Christoph's code appeared in the infringing VMware product. (07:50) Till Jaeger was Christoph's lawyer; Till was also the lawyer for Harald Welte's (currently defunct) gpl-violations.org project. (09:04) Segment 1 (09:26) “Trolling” refers to being a non-practicing entity. Patrick McHardy is specifically a practicing entity, since he upstreamed a lot of code in Linux. (09:50) Bradley was thinking of the patent troll, Intellectual Ventures. (10:40) Bradley that the Eastern district of Texas hears many patent cases in the USA. (10:50) Bradley mentioned a This American Life, Episode 411, which discussed patents. Show hosts/producers Laura Sydell and Alex Blumberg visit one of those “empty-but-not” office buildings in the Eastern District of Texas. (11:18) Bradley and Karen wrote about Patrick McHardy's behavior back in July 2016 — Conservancy was the first to talk about it publicly. Bradley sought to prevent the “compliance industrial complex” from using knowledge of Patrick's behavior to unduly scare people. (13:10) Conservancy (with FSF) also published the Principles of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement (15:10) The rest of the Netfilter team, except for Patrick McHardy, endorsed the Principles. (16:30) The VMware suit started 2015-03-05, and began before Patrick McHardy started his problematic behavior. While the VMware suit was working its way through the court, McHardy had filed many inappropriate lawsuits. (18:30) German court decisions are very rarely published, but thanks to hard work by everyone involved, the appeal decision, and the lower Court's decision (the latter of which was also translated into English.) (27:30) Segment 2 (33:01) In the next episode, Karen will discuss the Kernel Enforcement Statement Additional Permission, and the Red Hat “Cooperation Commitment”.

If you're an inventor type, there might be no better couple of guys to work for than Jeff Bezos or Nathan Myhrvold. Pablos Holman has worked for both. After building a lab for Bezos to help explore new forms of space travel, Holman went on to help cofound the Intellectual Ventures lab where has spent much of the past decade exploring new ideas such as printing food. I talk to Holman about these early days as well as a future in which he envisions personalized food optimized for our tastes and personal health needs printed instantly in our homes. via Knit

At the World Conference of Science Journalists in October, Nathan Myhrvold, co-founder of Intellectual Ventures, charged innovation outfits with changing the lives of the world's most disadvantaged.  

Nathan Myhrvold proved that bread is far from stale. A renewed spirit of creativity and innovation is emerging from breadmaking’s 6,000-year- old tradition, and Myhrvold is leading the charge with flour-dusted hands and an insatiable curiosity. Formerly the Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft, and cofounder of Intellectual Ventures, he has since turned his inquisitive attention to cooking. Modernist Bread is Myhrvold’s highly anticipated follow-up to Modernist Cuisine, the tome famed chef David Chang called “The cookbook to end all cookbooks.” Myhrvold returns to our stage to offer bakers and lovers of modernist cuisine the science, history, ingredients, techniques, and recipes that may forever break the mold of breadmaking. Nathan Myhrvold is a scientific author and essayist, and former postdoctoral fellow in the department of applied mathematics and theoretical physics at Cambridge University. He is the author of Modernist Cuisine and Modernist Bread, as well as numerous articles for periodicals such as Scientific American, Slate, Time, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. Myhrvold shared the evening with food writer Jess Thomson and award-winning chef Rachel Yang for a culinary double-header!

Check in with Brad Sheafe, Chief Intellectual Property Officer (CIPO) and David Pridham, CEO of Dominion Harbor, respectively. The guys start off with a review of the local clam festival. Iconic digital imaging patent portfolio from Kodak. Dominion Harbor acquired nearly 4,000 digital imaging patents from Intellectual Ventures early in 2017. It was acquired by Dominion Harbor’s wholly owned subsidiary, Monument Peak Ventures (MPV), is the current assignee to this vast and valuable portfolio. MPV continues to prosecute the Kodak portfolio with new issues on an almost weekly basis.

Intellectual ventures patent misses a huge potential win because the claim had gone one throw away step too far, on a technology that could have covered SMS text messaging. Craige reveals the litigation and patent drafting mistakes made by both Intellectual Ventures and Motorola and what they could have done differently to change or improve their outcome. Did you know that just characterizing the prior art negatively could narrow your claim scope in a way you didn't even mention in the patent? It's true! Find out more in this episode.   We love getting feedback from our listeners. If you have enjoyed this episode please leave a honest five star review.

Nathan Myhrvold is one the most visionary and influential people working in culinary science and publishing today. The former chief technology officer of Microsoft and founder of Intellectual Ventures, opened The Cooking Lab and Modernist Cuisine in Bellevue, Washington to pursue his lifelong passion and curiosity for cooking. He joins us in-studio to talk his newest five-volume, 1500-recipe, 2500-page book Modernist Bread: The Art and Science.

Nuclear power isn’t dead, despite a body blow from the 2011 Fukushima accident in Japan. And if our guest Nathan Myhrvold has anything to do with it, nuclear technology might see a true resurgence, taking the place of carbon-emitting coal plants in fast-growing countries like China and India. In this episode Myhrvold talks about progress at TerraPower—a spinout of his patent management firm Intellectual Ventures—where engineers are designing reactors that run on waste uranium and aren’t vulnerable to loss-of-coolant accidents.

Your hosts, Brad Sheafe and David Pridham are thrilled and privileged to bring you an intimate and illuminating interview with the esteemed Marshall Phelps. Marshall in addition to being, truly, the father (or Godfather as the case may be) of the modern patent era, has graciously agreed to be a member of the Dominion Harbor Board of Advisors. About Marshall Phelps Marshall Phelps is one of the leading figures in the field of intellectual property management and performance. He has pioneered many of IP’s leading strategies and best practices, and generated unprecedented results as head of IP business and strategy for IBM in the 1990s and then Microsoft in the 2000s. Marshall served as Vice President at IBM, and was responsible for overseeing standards, telecommunications policy, industry relations, licensing, intellectual property law and management of a worldwide intellectual property portfolio of more than 35,000 patents and 8,500 trademarks. He transformed a function that had previously been associated with overhead to a $2 Billion annual profit center. Prior to heading IP business, he served IBM as Director of Government Relations in Washington and as Vice President of Asia Pacific operations in Tokyo. From 2002-2010 Marshall was Corporate Vice President and Deputy General Counsel for Intellectual Property and Licensing, Microsoft Corporation. At Microsoft, his duties entailed worldwide management of the company’s intellectual property portfolio, patent prosecution, licensing, standards and business development. He facilitated Microsoft’s emergence as one of the world’s largest and most successful IP-related businesses with over 60,000 patents and applications, extensive copyright holdings and numerous trademarks. In 2006, Marshall was elected to the initial class of the Intellectual Property Hall of Fame. In 2001 he was founding partner with Nathan Myhrvold of Intellectual Ventures, the largest acquirer of patents worldwide. His book, “Burning the Ships: Intellectual Property and the Transformation of Microsoft,” was published in 2009 to much acclaim. Marshall has taught IP strategy at business, law or engineering schools at Duke, Cornell, UNC, Berkeley and in Japan. His latest academic foray will be teaching at USC this Fall. He also joined the first Dominion Harbor Board of Advisors in 2017. He holds a B.A. from Muskingum College, an M.S. from Stanford Graduate School of Business, and a J.D. from Cornell University Law School. Marshal serves as a director and advisor to multiple companies in and around tech and intellectual property.

Tossing offhanded rhetoric about a company’s intentions or motivations without any facts or insights is not proper and it leads to dangerous precedence – primarily with the uninitiated in the IP industry. Readers will just take these labels at face value and render an ill-informed opinion. Dominion Harbor has helps dozens of F500/G2000 companies and equally important individual inventors receive fair value for their inventions. Our advocacy is FOR patent and FOR inventors both directly against infringers, but equally important in the halls of congress and the courtroom. We invite anyone to see how much effort, technical and legal expertise our teams put into determining if we should move forward on an opportunity. Further, we wish we could share all the inbound inquiries from small inventors pleading for us to help them take on much larger firms whom they believe are taking their ideas; the rules are stacked against them and they require experts to help. This is the Techrights story that got the guys to come to know Roy Schestowitz – and his, nothing short of wild ,conspiracy theories. “Earlier today Benjamin Henrion pointed out that David Pridham, “CEO of the patent advisory [sic] Dominion Harbor Group,” now has a blog (even an attack on Google) over at Forbes. Dominion Harbor Group is a patent troll, not “patent advisory” or whatever euphemism they may choose. It’s also connected to Intellectual Ventures, the world’s largest patent troll. So what we have here are anti-Google articles from a man who is connected to Microsoft’s patent troll. Ain’t that just too shallow? Is he going to sue Google next? He recently got a big load of patents from Intellectual Ventures [1, 2]. Such patents can never be used against Microsoft because Intellectual Ventures is deep in the pockets of Microsoft and Bill Gates (at a personal capacity, too)…”

A great deal of research has focused on the amount of global warming resulting from increased greenhouse gas concentrations. But there has been relatively little study of the pace of the change following these increases. A new study by Carnegie’s Ken Caldeira and Nathan Myhrvold of Intellectual Ventures concludes that about half of the warming occurs within the first 10 years after an instantaneous step increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration, but about one-quarter of the warming occurs more than a century after the step increase.

Justin and Jason talk about how Justin bought the percentage of Pluggio he didn't own, what Buffer did right and what can be learned from their success, why Jason moved on from Appignite, what's happening with AnyFu and why Jason doesn't consider Catalyst to be a startup project, why it's better to focus on process rather than on specific goals and how small wins build momentum, the importance of engaging in deep work and the difficulty of getting small things done, the difference between trading and investing and why Jason wouldn't use an investment advisor, why Iceland is succeeding and Ireland is struggling, how AngelList is allowing accredited investors to invest in startups online, the uncovering of Intellectual Ventures 2,000 shell companies and how EFF's Patent Project got a half-million dollar boost from Mark Cuban and 'Notch', what's been working and not working with Catalyst, Jeff Bezos' regret minimization framework, and finally why it's good to do things.

Could replacing coal-fired electricity plants with generators fueled by natural gas bring global warming to a halt in this century? What about rapid construction of massive numbers of solar or wind farms, hydroelectric dams, or nuclear reactors—or the invention of new technology for capturing the carbon dioxide produced by fossil-fueled power plants and storing it permanently underground? Nathan Myhrvold of Intellectual Ventures teamed up with Carnegie Institution’s Ken Caldeira to calculate the expected climate effects of replacing the world’s supply of electricity from coal plants with any of eight cleaner options.
