Would need b to be in a Florida Walmart for a bingo.

Few days old but I didn't see this on search. It likely won't go anywhere but I found the dig on the judge's mental capacity to be hilarious.

The complaint requests the Kansas Commission on Judicial Conduct to review “Viar’s mental capacity in her decision to seemingly circumvent federal and state law” when she signed off on the search warrant for the newspaper office

Not near field, since it uses photovoltaic cells with a pulsed laser for power.

The photocells, when illuminated by a pulsed laser, provide power to the electronic circuits on the chip with ~10% efficiency. The chip transmits its ID through modulated current in the antenna. The varying magnetic field around the chip is received by a nearby coil in the reader, and the signal is digitized, analyzed, and decoded.

So it's security is that it's not near field based but photovoltaic based. You'd have to copy it's design to clone it.

I can't compete with obtuseness of this magnitude.

Uh huh. So are you suggesting you independently test every product at point of sale? Or do you suggest certifying said product and affixing some sort of mark of trade upon it? Maybe even personally testing said product and then identifying it later based on it's mark of trade?

Maybe my argument wasn't as plainitively obvious as I thought it was. The only way to develop an opinion on quality is to personally trust the supplier or rely on trademarks. Without either you will not know if you're getting the same product and quality will vary wildly. In an open market, the only way is to rely on trademarks. Place of origin is an extension of the trademark system.

Can only judge quality by trademarks and place of origin is essentially an extension of trademark. I don't really have a problem with it.
