I find Patents evil the same way hardcore racism is. Exploitation and profiteering are their motivations under the guise of fear and protection.
From all of my work experience, it is finding product-market-fit that is harder than filing a bunch of patents or better yet buying them up in bulk. Yet startups can be hugely liable to patent trolls.
Did not realize how much the Universities themselves are perpetuating this problem.
Define efficiency and then I may agree. I not only work more efficiently from home, but work least inefficiently in an office setting. I don't have kids and my daily meditation helps me from being distracted. I personally think most information workers can work more efficiently from home.
"the crowd had put tires over the alleged thief and set him on fire".
A single person brave enough to think against crowds could have STOPped this atrocity from happening.
Reminds me of how Mahatma Gandhi was attacked in South Africa by a group of predominantly white-males, was literally being beaten to death, when just one white-female STOPped this atrocity from happening (source: Gandhi the Man - https://www.amazon.com/Gandhi-Man-Changed-Himself-Change/dp/...).
Most of us are too afraid to stop atrocities (Ex: Recently Muslims getting killed in Delhi while Modi was adulating Trump). But a few who do could may help save humanity.
No, not necessarily. A single person can sometimes make a difference but in real life such people are frequently just pushed aside. It is more a matter of luck than morality about where they happen to be in the crowd, whether they can make themselves heard at a critical moment and so on.
I mean sure, if you see an injustice taking place in front of you, you should certainly attempt to intervene. But there is absolutely not guarantee your intervention will be effective.
Amjad the CEO of Replit could be fairly insecure person afraid of losing his company's dominance/marketshare to some simple intern/developer. I am sure he did NOT expect this level of heat.
This article and the associated 'press' could serve as a text-book case for insecure start-up CXOs.
I mean, making a whole blog post about the situation, and then making the top post of hacker news, just kind of keeps the sniper scope of lawyers pointed at himself.
The intern? Yeah he’s fine. There’s no real consequence for that person other than proving he’s a capable employee who can be a bit obsessive. They should work in a tangentially related area of product for awhile and forget it ever happened. Technical hires who can implement your idea is much more valuable in bulk than ideas themselves.
In my 'biased' view, AI has already revolutionized more fields than most people will 'ever' recognize. However unfounded fears and insecurities around jobs are keeping its real potential at bay.
My bet is the actual impact will first be realized in poorest countries (India included) and then will spread to more advanced countries (US/G7).
