Realistically the two things that will make it happen are

1. China is doing it
3. Billionaire joyrides

Look into Apple's deep involvement with ARM; predating the computer use. ARM is revolutionary and they were into it. Without Apple, there probably wouldn't be ARM.

Correct!
The stuff is grossly over hyped and people are over leveraging on the hype. Thinking they will discover the terminator 1st and rule the world. They'll find some clever uses; which in some cases will not be easy to own and likely hint at solutions others can copy. Already we've seen many big expensive competitors pop out from nowhere using the research to make their own system.

If somebody does "own" whatever next innovation, you think China is going to care to pay for it? They will find copy and discover spin off tech before the lawsuits finish. Besides, while USA companies hold each other back and in-fight, others will ignore that game and move forward. "I.P." in the USA is harming more innovation than it helps. Not that I think they will actually get smart. The magical reasoning that is behind language seems to be somewhat unlocked but it's just a kind of intelligence. much of which is just modeling a pattern of that; not all the other thought behind it in the 1st place.

Even if they didn't pay this guy to do it, they'll be there to HELP this nobody stop them from media dominance. The man could have come up with this scheme expecting to get paid somehow for being useful. Certainly it's not as much of a gamble as everything else is in Vegas.

I guess I assumed it was big enough to be remembered. It wasn't on your radar then.

Organic Chemistry is a filtering class to keep out people who shouldn't be M.Ds. He was not just anybody they fired and the reasoning was idiotic and indicative of a deep rot in the culture of the organization that it even happened in the first place and didn't get the push back it needed. It's a huge reputational harm that needs consequences besides simply churning out low quality graduates which in time will lower the reputation. Aside from having even more for people to rail against with medicine and science.

A lot of big companies fail and get saved somehow after reorganization. It doesn't have to be sold off in parts. Bankruptcy doesn't kill off everything. The idiot in charge though seemed more like he was wanting it to die so he could make a good deal for himself. that whole renaming game was idiotic...a sign it was going to fall apart. But maybe that wasn't the plan; just sell it so he can get a great deal might have been the plan all along.

Billionaires and autocrats have sabotaged both systems. We are going to have to figure out a third way or we are going to descend into techno feudalism and that is going to suck for everybody but about 5000 people on the entire planet .

if you are reading this you are not one of those 5,000

Is socialism? Almost the entire world is against them except Russia that uses them occasionally as a thorn in the side of the United States.

America's gearing up for war with them. Prior to that we had cut them out of the rest of the world and all of the global markets.

So I don't think Venezuela which is under active attack by every capitalist nation in the world is a fair representative of alternatives to capitalism.

I do think we live in the real world though and we can't pretend that socialism works even if the only reason it doesn't work is that billionaires, who are themselves vehemently opposed to capitalism, will sabotage it making it impossible to properly implement.

The important thing to remember is billionaires do not support capitalism either. So capitalism is going to get sabotaged by billionaires too and therefore capitalism is not an alternative to billionaires.

We are going to have to figure out a third way. Because both capitalism and socialism have failed us.

There is no fix besides austerity and suffering.

That's because rich people don't want to have to spend the money to solve problems that are mostly your problem and not theirs.

You need to get out of the habit, a habit let's remember you were conditioned into by the wealthy, of assuming that nothing can ever get better and that good things aren't possible anymore.

That habit is an extreme and toxic form of conservativism.

Except there is faaar more than enough for everyone. Nobody needs to starve.

Reolink here too. They support open protocols and work locally with no internet access. Picture quality is decent. You can record to your own server, or fit an SD card, or both.

What this really tells us is that the number of people that can get by on their own income is decreasing while the cost of things is increasing. Overall, inequality in the US is rapidly increasing.

Technically they can't ban them but they can't throw you in prison for using one. And they can throw people in prison for running them of course.

This is the ultra wealthy and the ruling elite moving the take over the last form of media where regular people can access information without their consent.

But hey, the girl who hands you your coffee says Merry Christmas now so that's a fair trade right?

And if you don't understand what that means that's the problem.

Greed is never satiated.

After exports start, they will have established the basis that their product is not a threat to national security. This will give them all the leverage they need to file a suit against the US government.

No because greed is never satiated.
