Totally...

Laughing heard inside the POTUS office.

Nice. IP is one thing that has ruined many things. Unless you are WIPO and Oracle Fan.

All current AI companies are closed. What benefit?

Most things from Uni are published openly.

BTW, did people in US pay royalty to China for inventing paper?

Yeah, people forget that IP is a social construct, and there's no reason a different society can't simply have different constructs. Open source / Free software is a different social construct too; and Stallman would have us live in a world where nobody is enriching themselves with proprietary technology they exert unfair control over.

Problem has always been ensuring that people who have brilliant ideas get appropriately rewarded for their contribution to humanity - but not disproportionately.

> ensuring that people who have brilliant ideas get appropriately rewarded

This doesn't happen anymore, and the sooner the contributors to our industry learn this, the sooner we can start fixing it.

Taking your China comment in good faith: the copyright term on paper has long elapsed anyway, even if there's Mickey Mouse drawn on the paper in question.

What would china consider to be the appropriate length of compensation though?

the claim is that chinese people in china must follow US law. presumably US people in US should also follow chinese law.

When was paper invented again?

Also does China publish it's companies IP publicly or is it just a one-sided relationship?

Pretty sure these marketing speak was decided half-an-year before. Sales and marketing just do their job

/S

The people with power and money (incl. most in HN) don't care.

Most of the rest are in state of apathy if they have enough time to think about earth.

Others are barely surviving.

Some want to use their brain.

Do you market Copilot?

DJT: do you want 100% tariffs?

The US regime tariffs and invades based on whims anyways, that threat is rapidly losing power.

I am not supporting tariffs. Just that it is sad the majority of MNC and SV is totally in the hands of US admin,

Considering he is threatening 500% tariffs against India - which some say is because they debunked his claim of intervening in the India-Pakistan conflict (Nobel peace prize denied) - perhaps other countries don’t really mind 100% tariff or view it as a better deal than many.

India is not as dependent on exports as the UK. The connections are stronger to the UK.

That's getting a bit old.

Even if you are MAGA listen to him.

He does an awful lot of announcing.

> Vietnam mandating banks only use unrooted mobile phones

Other way around. They are used to using money. Even India tried to make everything electronic. A bit successful but not totally.

Yes Playstore is important. But unless US mandates Qualcomm and mediatek, apple to brick all non US.phones this won't happen.

I am curious.

Does the flatpak Firefox allows access to all folders?

Heya, not by default, but you can allow it.

This is only for people that know choices.

We at out Uni provide default Ubuntu installs on laptops. Most people just live with whatever UI.

I have a feeling that many have stopped configuring, themeing etc. those only from 80s to 2000 were just spending lots of time building and creating many themes like matrix etc.

Also people are so addicted to smartphone. That is the main place for their heart.
