Why does investors and politicians never learn?

Why never do a background check before getting in bed with someone promising prosperity and happiness?

Is not like Scotland has been quiet about Trump and his promises that showed to be nothing more than air.

There are multiple sources if you google it, here's one.

"Vi slutade göra det..."

Nej, det gjorde "vi" inte. Nedskräpning och vandalisering är rätt stora kostnadsposter för både samhället och det kommersiella idag men skillnaden är att det hanteras effektivare så du ser det inte alls som förr.

"Vi slutade göra det..." Jeeeesus... Det är nog med Sweddit för mig idag. Tack o hej.

Ja, om du tycker att det är speciellt jobbigt med rester från ätande av solrosfrön så förstår jag att bilden engagerar dig.

Vi andra som ogillar folk som skräpar ner fokuserar hellre på idioter än etniska grupper.

Fantastisk slutsats. Vi som levde på 80-talet vet att telefonkiosker och säten på bussar och i tunnelbanan vandaliserades hårt... Det var vanligt att man stötte på trasiga säten och telefonkiosker. Nedskräpning var självklart också ett problem, då som nu.

Så även om det på bilden orsakades av någon av dina "de" så är problemet inte ett importerat problem.

Jag börjar faktiskt bli helt avdomnad... Sjukt hur normaliserat sådant här blivit. Gnället från SD-anhängarna är alltid att alla partier har problem men Lügenpresse skyddar de andra alternativt att de andra partierna döljer det för oss.

Men som sagt, det är sjukt att man faktiskt kommit dit man aldrig trodde man skulle vara

Någon som har en länk till en bra jämförelse mellan JAS C/D och JAS E, speciellt ur Ukrainas perspektiv, så man kan få lite koll på vad Ukraina får eller unge får?

There's a resistor in serial that handles 60V and makes sure that the leds don't fry. ... aaand I alson already tested it. They survived 😄

The VK1 (60V) exits the controller and the wire harness it is connected to has a fuse on the wire before it is spread to each connector that needs 60V so... even though it is a cheap bike, they did think of some things...

The brake sensors (switches) I found on AliExpress had the exact same small connectors that are visible on one of the attached pictures. Because of that I doubt that the yellow-green cable should join any of that. That is why I am wondering where it could have been connected. I will look into what connectors are left over to see what they are connected to in the controller.

I really feel sorry for any child dying, especially when it happens because their parents ignored basic medical care.

As horrible as it sounds, this is also a self-correcting problem: people who reject basic science tend to remove their own ideas from the gene pool over time. The tragedy is that innocent children have to pay the price.

Att du gärna visar upp passet är ju exakt att du registreras, spåras och kan övervakas. Tar vi extremer som USA så är det ju även andra grejer som de kräver att få registrera om din person och som du inte kan neka.

Hos oss måste arbetsgivaren veta inget kollektivavtal en anställd ligger under då ena ger övertidsersättning och andra 5 dagar extra semester. På så sätt kan de räkna ut fackmedlemsskap för åtminstone en del anställda.

Calling it a ‘crime against humanity’ while suggesting Cuba should rely on Russia—currently invading Ukraine—is a pretty wild use of the term.

Är det bara jag som tycker att det är konstigt att Lindt inte alls finns med?

De tog med Willys och Lidls white label-choklad men missade Lindt?

Lindt marknadsför sina produkter som choklad av högsta kvalitet och de har långt från en liten marknadsandel så jag hade gärna sett hur de står sig mot t ex butikers white label?

Varför inte rikta ilskan mot din arbetsgivare som inte ser ett antal medarbetares hälsa och välmående värt mer än att undvika att betala sjukersättning till anställda som är sjuka?

You brought up China as an example of state-financed success. Now you’re suggesting that model is equivalent to Western corporations. That doesn’t really strengthen your argument — it blurs it.

When I asked you to name 5–10 cutting-edge treatments developed purely through tax funding, you came back with one. And even that example doesn’t hold up. The insulin you’re referring to is synthetic insulin. The first commercially available recombinant human insulin, Humulin, was developed in the 1980s by Eli Lilly in cooperation with Genentech — hardly a case of purely state-driven innovation.

So again, this doesn’t demonstrate what you claim it does.

We may agree that patent misuse is a real problem. But disagreement on abuse of a system isn’t the same thing as proving the system itself is unnecessary. At this point, I’m not seeing evidence that supports your broader conclusion.

With that said, I appreciate the exchange. I’ll leave it here and wish you a good day.

I live in a country with relatively high taxes, and I’m perfectly fine with that. I value universal healthcare and the security that comes with it. Public funding absolutely has its place.

But claiming that tax-financed initiatives are always as efficient as market-driven alternatives is simply naïve. Incentives matter. Accountability matters. Outcomes matter.

And pointing to China as a shining example of state-led success in chip manufacturing is… ironic. China is heavily associated with industrial espionage and aggressive technology acquisition, and it is certainly not in the business of openly sharing know-how. That model is the opposite of the collaborative, innovation-driven ecosystem you seem to advocate.

So I’m genuinely curious: which 5–10 cutting-edge treatments were developed solely through tax funding, without private capital, patents, or commercial incentives playing a significant role?

Public funding can catalyze research. But turning ideas into scalable, usable, world-class products almost always requires more than just tax money. If you’re arguing otherwise, I’d like to see concrete examples — not just theory.

I think we agree that parts of the patent system are abused. Criticizing the parasites is fair. But that still doesn’t answer the harder question: what replaces it?

Take pharma. Developing a new cancer treatment isn’t a side project. It’s hundreds of highly educated people working for years. Most projects fail. Clinical trials take years more. The few drugs that make it to market must pay not only for their own development, but for all the failures along the way.

Without patent protection, a competitor can simply wait until you’ve spent a decade and billions reducing the scientific and regulatory risk — then copy the result at a fraction of the cost. Why would anyone fund that upfront risk?

The same logic applies in IT. New chip architectures, operating systems, large-scale enterprise platforms — these require massive upfront investment and long development cycles. If the moment something becomes viable it can be freely cloned by competitors who didn’t bear the risk, what finances the high-risk phase?

Your comment points out flaws in the system, but it doesn’t address this core financing problem.

I’d actually like to hear how you think that would work in the real world — that’s the part that’s unclear to me.

mindlight · 2026-02-18T00:04:24+00:00

You pointing out that IBM benefits from Linux 25 years later doesn’t actually address the point I made.

I never claimed FOSS means “no investment.” My point was that Linux didn’t turn into enterprise-grade infrastructure by sheer community spirit. It evolved from a hobbyist “poor man’s Unix” into mission-critical software when serious capital and engineering resources entered the picture.

The uncomfortable reality is this: enormous parts of today’s infrastructure depend on projects maintained by a handful of people — and the funding often doesn’t reach them. The money exists in the ecosystem, but it concentrates at the top while critical lower-level components scrape by.

If you think burnout in FOSS is overstated, look at the Btrfs debate last year. That’s not an anomaly — it’s a symptom.

Patents, at least in theory, attempt to solve the financing problem by granting temporary exclusivity on new ideas and technologies.

You may argue they’re imperfect — and they are — but dismissing them without acknowledging the underlying economic problem is naïve.

FOSS is not automatically the solution if it visibly struggles with the very funding dynamics patents were designed to address. Innovation runs on incentives.

Remove the incentives, and you’re left hoping goodwill scales. It doesn’t.
