I was surprised by how Mickey 17 used a similar plot point.

I’m no Musk apologist, but this statement is nowhere close to being true.

The letter ‘h’ just entered the chat.

What you’ve described is often referred to as a rainbow table and is generally not considered to be GDPR compliant:

Thinking about this a little bit, I realized that I practically never use my USB port for anything, and only rarely use it for charging. On Pixel, is there any app that will just disable the data features of the USB by default unless I explicitly turn it on?

I assume that a feature like that would eliminate vulnerability to tools like cellbrite.

I view the patent process as furthering the ability of others to benefit from the results: without patents, the only way to keep clones of your product from immediately appearing on the market is obfuscation and trade secrets. Patents grant a limited monopoly, but at the price of full disclosure. That full disclosure serves a useful social benefit as others can learn and innovate on what was done before. The limited monopoly encourages innovation because it helps people get exclusive rights to sell their work.

There’s a lot of bad patent behavior with patent trolls, etc. The duration of the patents should be relatively short and not extensible. But I think the disclosure aspect of the patent process does further overall innovation.

I’d like to get back to ‘for limited time’. Patents 10 years, no extensions. Copyright, 10 years, no extensions. Trademarks indefinite as long as the owner still has a meaningful business still operating and using the trademark ( this one is tricky to define well).

Deep blue Washington state has the advantage of giant amounts of hydroelectric generation combined with a relatively small population to consume it.

People have to work to live. They’re working to make money to buy food at the grocery, or at the other end of the spectrum, they’re working by hunting and gathering food.

I’m excluding people with enough wealth to buy their food indefinitely from this discussion. At global scale, not many people are in that category.
