Pole here. I am exposed to US political news in every English- speaking medium, especially though Lemmy now and Reddit in the past.

I don’t know if this is planned or by accident but it looks like US is very efficient in exporting their political bullshit and playbooks to other countries.

Applying the American lens to current events here could give you a conclusions not far from the „ground truth”. Strange.

Well, this is exactly what mathematicians do.

Be careful not to assign a “patent troll” label to everyone defending their patent portfolio. Where do you mark the line?

There is a Nokia branch called Nokia Technologies. They invest money in R&D, they file for genuine patents involving new technology, for instance in audio and video compression. (They want to sue Netflix or already sued). Them defending themselves against patent abuse is how they earn money. And they go against other big corps. This is vastly different than your typical patent troll.

I hate this too. But - what if we start using this ability to our advantage, just like these guys did? Corps use it, let’s also abuse it so they can’t destroy us without also waiving their rights. LLCs are the privacy abstraction layer of the real world. I figured that even registering your own personal domain is much safer when done through your own LLC than on your personal name. The examples are many.

Answer: no. Huawei equipment is not the best in class. Cheapest? Maybe. Cheapest as in Total Cost of Ownership? No, good luck with their quality.

recommended doses for drugs are based on assuming "a woman is a small man"

That’s especially true for contraception pills.

Older cars actually followed good practices about the interior and gauges lighting. All used red, yellow or orange backlights to not impact your night vision.

Now cars are full of bright white screens…

It also doesn’t help that people got brainwashed that solar energy and heat pumps will solve all our problems. I don’t have enough space to install so many solar panels to provide power to heat pump during the Eastern European winter and even if I did, ROI will be longer than their expected lifetime. And we still use lead during production, and no one wants to recycle them. These geniuses here import broken solar panels and dump them into the ground and cover them, call that recycling. FFS, nuclear waste disposal is less scary than this uncontrolled shit.
