XP had a bunch of problems early on, just like 8. The hate for 8 was mostly because of ui changes. Me and 95 were irredeemably bad.

Microsoft is due a terrible release, 7, 8, & 10 were all above average.

The only thing I remember about the 2000’s eclipse was the Girls that drove them. They were like jetta girls but hung out in pool halls.

174k and it didn’t break apart trying to get it out. You are quite lucky.

I exclusively use teams on the web on Rocky. Firefox, Chrome, and edge all work for me.

Testosterone also increases red blood cell count, so even male endurance athletes have an advantage. Look at Tigst Assefa who holds the women’s World record for a marathon at 2:11, she’s 120 lbs, the top 5 male marathon runners are all at 120 lbs too and run 10 minutes faster.

Even then there will still be physical differences. Higher testosterone levels increase the strength of individual muscle fibers and cause the body to produce more red blood cells. Muscle in males is stronger per pound and fed more oxygen.

Even at lower levels of football women are typically only kickers.

The best part of the Gitlab UI is when it gets upgraded and you have to relearn how to find everything.

This is an implementation detail to be argued about to find a fair formula.

I thought your plan was simplifying things and getting lawyers out of it, guess not.

Again, this is a matter of determining a fair mathematical formula that rewards inventors appropriately depending on the amount of sales.

How is a fair mathematical formula determined?  Who decides what is appropiate?  Are sales the only metric for the formula?

Also, for comparison how does our current patent system ensure that inventors recoup costs on valuable patents?

The inventor licenses the patent for for an agreed upon value.  Value is determined by the market.

How does our current patent system reward downstream inventions and ideas?

See above.

You seem to have lofty goals for a new system that our current system doesn’t address.

How are those not addressed?

What patent fees? We’re talking about taxing products / services / corporate profits and then using that money to reward inventors.

Money that goes to patent holders is a patent fee no matter how the money is collected.  If a company uses a patented invention but doesn’t list it how is that infringement enforced?  More lawyers and lawsuits?

Again, implementation detail, but if multiple ideas contribute to the same product then the inventors of both would get rewarded.

Details are the important part, how is the value of one patent determined over another, ie how do they split the revenue.

Inventors getting a percent of sales doesn’t is a vague description.

How is the royalty rate determined?

How are cheap to manufacture/replicate inventions handled? With a low royalty rate the inventor may not recoup costs for a valuable patent.

How are products with multiple patents handled?

How are patent fees enforced?

Why would a company publish a patent in your system? They can be 1st to the market and be the only ones in the market until their competitors reverse engineer their patent.

In the current patent system the owner can choose to licenses their patent, they can choose how much licensing should cost and manufacturers can decide to pay it.

You’re awfully light on the details of how an inventor is rewarded.

You pretty much described the current patent system but instead of the market determining license fees some buerocrat does.

How do you reward inventors then?

Old knowledge is abundant, new is not. If takes effort to discover/create new knowledge. Patents and copyright are there to allow the inventor/creator an opportunity to monetize their invention.

Fun fact you can get the rear wheels off the ground from braking too hard.

Or if your pulling 4 byte data from an AtoD converter and it’s ordered 2, 3, 0, 1 for a fixed point value that you need to convert to a standard float at an extremely high rate or else the ring buffer will fill and you’ll start losing data.

That code review was a good time.

I have a work Windows laptop that I refer to as my time machine. If not for having to use it for time sheets, email, word, and PowerPoint fun I’d kick the habit all together.
