I think their point was that in a way, patents are supposed to be more equitable because it allows the inventor to meet their basic needs by being the one to invent the patent.

There’s also the argument that while innovation skyrockets after a parent opens up, there would be less incentive to invent new things if Walmart could just copy it for cheaper the day after you show how you make it.

Or people would be super secretive with instructions for how to make their products that innovations could die with their creators since they have no incentive to release it.

What they don’t mention here is that these guys get up at 6:00 AM, have lunch at 7 and leave at 8

oh no the ancient sacred forest has been corrupted. By capitalism

That also misses the point. If we want to pull the world out of poverty and into prosperity we’re going to need an astonishing amount of power. The only key is to make power that is sustainable so that things requiring a lot of power aren’t given a second thought. The thing you’re mad at are massive corporations putting the cart waaaaaay before the horse. And yes, please be mad at them for that.

That philosopher is widely debunked and is criticized for having good ideals but being a complete idiot for their prescriptions for how to implement them.

Idk, just one glimpse of the fediverse chick was enough to shatter my world.

In theory you just have a dozen or so bags that you can take with you every time. The knee-jerk reaction is to call it something the company does to offload responsibility, but unfortunately for us Americans this is the norm in many other places in the world and they deal with it fine.

Should have said “yous guyses”

Cause you had the greatest internet security you could ever ask for: unmonetizability.

Two posts and op hasn’t mentioned the movie lol.

That would be a funny videogame. Air combat but it has to all be melee combat.

It’s because every childrens show is an abstraction of real life relationships meant to teach lessons or just generally have cooler adventures than real life.

So yeah, of course when you have an episode where there’s a loving caring character you can say “that’s actually their mom” or the spunky side kick can actually be their sister.

Well, people are moving from what they see as an innocent funny video app to a much more obvious chinese controlled app in protest. Basically trying to call out the hypocrisy of the government banning tiktok when all these other apps exist.

Most people do not realize how much info tiktok gathered from you and which shady state governments it filtered into.

It’s funny though because the tiktok ban doesn’t target tiktok, it targets any foreign controlled app above a certain number of users. So as soon as red note gains a bunch of users it will be killed as hard as tiktok.

That’s of course unless both governments don’t enforce the law, like they both have said they aren’t going to do.

Damn I read these books as a kid, do they really get this sci-fi on them? Or is it some Scooby-Doo sort of shenanigans.

Physics is basically “some guy way cooler and way nerdier than you 100 years ago did some experiments observing this law, and because of that we can use really hard math to predict the whole universe.”

That has forever been the fallacy.

The poor won’t die in the apocalypse leaving only the rich behind. The poor will die, and the rich will be faced with the harsh reality that they needed an army of poor working under them to sustain themselves, leading them to all die within the generation.
