I thought a lot about this during the past few days and it seems to me that we were talking about different things.
I was talking about the spreading of ideas and not the distribution of wealth or power.
And I still think that publishing patents accellerates the global distribution of ideas compared to companies not having this incentive to publish. In most cases it has nothing to do with dopamine but is a rational business decision.
Anyway, thanks for the discussion and sharing your thoughts.

How could one ever prove that? And why should logics dictate its harmfulness? I am missing that logic obviously.
IP protection enforcement shifts the power towards the larger lawyer armies, yes.
However, in terms of spreading ideas and accelerating competitive R&D, patents were clearly beneficial in mutliple cases in my experience. Both as inventor and utlilizing the large corpus of patents to generate new ideas.
And on a longer time horizon the ideas become public good, when the patents expire.

What people regularly dismiss with intellectual property legislation is that it actually promotes innovation and the spreading of ideas.
Patent laws provide a strong incentive to publish ideas instead of hiding or obscuring them. This provides a wealth of information for everyone, boosts competition early on before market penetration is too big, and incentivises faster development.
I see this every day.

Hashers should not be rewarded only per share. Their reward should be connected to an actual block so that they have an incentive to check that the pool operator behaves well.
But yeah, the operator does not need to know their identity. Maybe submit a new npub with each share?

When I was a kid I visited a museum in my home town and learned that the town ruler collected 10% of the earnings and produce of all the people living in the town. I was angry and asked why they could simply take away so much from other people.
Well, little did I know...

Have multiple "expert" algorithms that curate feeds for specific topics and flavor.
Then let the user customize a scoring function that mixes the expert feeds based on user-defined weights. Maybe add some WoT spices on top.
Voila, the recipe for your favorite dish today. 😊

Isn't it a good thing to free up labor for more creative work? I remember times when kids had to work on the field and could not attend school. Still happens in many countries.
Communities can be formed or strengthened in other ways, without requiring people to work on a field.
I am curious where you see the productivity limit in terms of sunlight, considering that only a very small fraction of the light energy actually ends up in the product. Is that really the limiting factor? Afaik yields per hectare have been going up more or less constantly.

I agree that food prices are a good indicator. On the other hand, there have been tremendous technical advancements decreasing the food production costs during the past years and decades. Thus, looking only at food prices underestimates the real inflation, which is much higher.
Unfortunately, the contributors to these efficiency increases are often not really acknowledged because their contribution is eaten up by inflation. In the public perception the food prices just keep on increasing and the producers are being blamed.
One of the distortions from fiat money...

Ghandi led a non-violent resistance that helped end the British rule in India.
Anyway, the idea of the state's monopoly on violence is that all others can settle their disputes without violence. That works pretty well in my experience.
Of course this monopoly has to be controlled and restricted, but there are better ways than arming up.
You seem to be pointing at the scenario that the monopoly goes completely rogue and it is used to violently suppress the population. Other than that I don't see why state actors use guns against innocent people. At least not more than a random person with a gun.

You are a bitcoiner if you have zero sats and still want #Bitcoin to succeed.

2024-07-19 17:59:24

US dominance in Bitcoin is already significant.
Mining, hardware supply chains, custody of coins, service companies, and interests of the big influental players.
Now other countries must accelerate their Bitcoin adoption if we want to preserve #Bitcoin and #freedom money.
Bitcoin is for enemies. In fact, Bitcoin needs non-cooperating counterparties.

2024-05-15 07:00:41

Bitcoin is not democratic.
The network does not care if you run a node with whatever rules.
Bitcoin is a plutocratic monetary system.
Ultimately it's the miners who find the consensus and forge the chain. They are incentivized by fees. If your node doesn't pay any fees, it's irrelevant.
Not your fees, not your consensus.

Great directions.
Let me add that it's crucial to improve and guard self-custodial solutions for transacting.
It's the mining fees that form the consensus rules!

Imagine hackers getting access to KYC payment data (which they frequently do). This makes you vulnerable against scams and phishing. Personalized with your data and boosted by AI, it is very difficult to realize it when it hits you.
KYC data fuels crime instead of fighting it.

And this is only the harmless stuff. It gets real crazy when AI starts to target individuals. How do you want to defend against opinion spinning, phishing, or public discussion ddos attacks when you are confronted with content that manipulates you in subtle ways, uses your personal information, and reacts in real time?
Protecting your privacy and WoT can help. What else?
