I’m starting to get the feeling that “X is playing chess while Y is playing checkers” is an indicator species for a terrible take.

Reading the Wikipedia it seems quite unlikely, but then again maybe it’s also written by a bot.

I’m starting to get the feeling that we are both repeating ourselves, but this is not a just a side effect, it is systematic. Turning an idea into property means only capital can play the game. In effect patents do two things: Firstly they inhibits innovation, the exact opposite of what they are supposed to do, this should be ground enough to get rid of them. Second they entrench big players, big players have more money to play the patent game and so tend to win patent fights regardless of merit. So besides not achieving their so called stated goal they also have a huge negative externality. And all this before we even take patent trolls into account.

It requires capital to obtain a patent and to defend a patent, workers are inherently excluded from this proces.

It’s a legal tool that turns ideas into property. This allows capital to exercise power over it and profit through it, and on top of that inhibits innovation. So l’d say there is no use or abuse, it’s a bad legal framework that doesn’t achieve societal benefits.

I tend to be principally against patents in general, as research suggests they actually stifle innovation rather than incentivize it. But in this case I’d say ‘let them fight, and may they both lose’.

The Mueller report specifically concludes that they could not find evidence of collusion. It did find clear evidence of Russia trying to influence the election in favor of Trump, but no collusion from the Trump campaign with Russia in this effort. Given what we know about the general competency of Trump and his campaign how likely would it be that he was capable of hiding collusion from the full force of the FBI?

If I was interviewing a Proud Boy it would sound a lot more like that gorilla joke from 1897.

I’m personally also against life imprisonment, you are either rehabilitated or if this is deemed dangerous for society you are mentally ill and should be treated. In such a treatment the patient can decide that their life is not worth living, and with permission from a psychiatrist they can then be euthanized.

A crime is a crime, a joke is a joke, and the death penalty is a violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Yes pantographs.

Let’s hear her out, maybe she has a good reason.

Why is it so common to blame those poorer, weaker, and more desperate than you for your problems. Yes live probably has gotten worse, and obvious problems are not being solved, but migrants are the last people to blame. It’s such a destructive tendency, and it’s sad to see the same mistake happening again and again.

With SBF ‘no fish’ is a very likely outcome.

Here is the deal. If you give me two fish now I’ll give you four fish in a month, trust me there is no catch just fish.

On an unrelated note do you perchance know other wise investors like yourself that want to multiply there fish portfolio?
