a) technology patents should be abolished so everyone who wants and is able to can produce (for example CPUs) without getting shut down.
b)everything must be opensource. whenever it's software or hardware. while this is no gurantee the product you'll get is backdoor free, being open source is still absolut basic because properitary is always a risk and too much power in the wrong hands.
c)stricter privacy laws and havier punishment. This should kill google, microsoft and amazon.
d) technology, not just usage of it, must be teached in schools mandatory.
e) a nation/world wide aid program (financial/ knowhow) for new technology, science and start ups. one that makes sense and produces results.
Yeah, that's kinda it. That are things that HAVE to be done. The alternative to continue using compromised technology isn't one. At this point we MUST stop using this shit and if we didn't make a real alternative happen then we just don't have technology left to use as simple as that.
Let us start with basic education. 1st grade spelling should be a requirement before internet access is allowed.
Carson Adams
I'm against communism. And currently what happens with technology is communism simply labled capitalism. Remember how retarded those commies sounded when they centralized production, and endend up shitty things and no choice? What's the difference with monopolies like intel or microsoft?
With everything open source you'd still need to pay someone to produce your CPU or whatever. You'd still need to pay someone to program the software you need. It's clearly not communism.
Pay no attention to the Jow Forumstard screeching communism. Their head is too far up their ass to know what communism is or to even hear responses to their post.
Elijah Sullivan
You post trash like this and call others smug? Go look in a mirror ffs.
Adrian Rivera
You dumb faggot, anyone can produce it, they just need to pay the pattent owner for a license. ARM does that, do you think they sell ARM chips? No, they just design and test them.
Angel Wilson
>call others smug? These pics are called "smuggies".
you obviously have no idea how many traps and prohibitions are in patent law shit. remember how apple managed to patent curves on phones? this is utter bullshit and can't be fixed.
>So what's the alternative, someone has an Idea but the bigger player can out produce the inventor leaving him with nothing?
There are other ways inventors can be rewarded even financially without the need of prohibiting patents. you simply lack imagination/ the will to fix things.
Jason Gray
a) Suddenly there's no money in development, your Jim Kellers become doctors and lawyers, nothing gets made.
b) So now not only will no hardware be developed, but profit will be evacuated from software development also. 2 for 2 on stupid shit, well done.
c) No it won't, though privacy is important.
d) Engineering is too complex to teach to children, higher education exists for a reason.
e) Shut the fuck up you useless retarded commie scumbag. There is no shortage of results as it is right now. Fuck off.
Luis Gray
fuck you! Because most americans are really that stupid I can't tell whenver you're trolling or really belive that. I'm OPOSING communism.
Now I answered this twice, unless actual arguments come I'll just ignore commie comments.
Chase Ross
a) wrong, as people/ business still need something and pay for it's development
b) see a)
c) it should
d) kick out gender studies and create an actual path of education that includes engineering/programming
e) they invest in development right now, that's true. about how to better control people, abolish even more privacy and basically making lists on who to gulag. that's not what the consumer wants but those communists behind the scenes.
Kevin Cruz
>a) technology patents should be abolished so everyone who wants and is able to can produce (for example CPUs) without getting shut down.
Why would anyone make any product if their shit can be copied?
Andrew Peterson
OK, let's go to fantasyland for a moment. Without patents protecting your investment, how would you recoup the losses from R&D? You do know Intel, VIA, AMD, Qualcomm, and so forth, are responsible for a huge amount of people that need to be paid accordingly. Describe how new products would help the developer in their business model without patents.
Austin Harris
and then there would be no incentive to invest time and resources into making a good product
Elijah Wright
because there is need for it? because some wanted to make it? because someone got paid to make it for someone?
Oliver Morgan
Then who the fuck would pour their money into R&D instead of just waiting for someone else to innovate and ride on it for free?
Charles Wood
a) That is not how demand-driven economies work.
b) Whatever, you'll never see sense on that.
c) I should be rich and not have to work.
d) It's called maths, I'm an engineer, engineering is too complex to teach to children. Maths is the path to engineering.
e)"they invest in development right now, that's true." Thank you for conceding.
Zachary Garcia
There would be literally 0 reason for companies to invest in R&D, less R&D means less new technology. less new technology means less demand kys dumb commieposter
Austin Hill
oh, you mean development of spectre bugs and management engine? I already said, there can be other incentived for development and making inventions other that getting patent "protection".
Leo Cooper
OK! SO there's demand. Buuut you don't have patents, and everything is open source! So then, Chinaman X builds the same for less. And so does AMD. And VIA. Your awesome product is now in the market under another's brand. For cheap.
Solve this problem.
Nathan Bell
Nothing you said explains who would pay for R&D. It makes zero sense as a business to invest in R&D while anyone can just ride along and get all the profits without the investment. It would make sense to wait for someone else to do it. New tech would be likely funded only by the government, through universities.
Christopher Cruz
this reads like some entitled 15 year old’s socialist phase manifesto sure you’re old enough to post here kid?
Michael Roberts
a) like you never paid somone to fix your car or install pipes in your house. providing a paid service is not fullfilling a demand?
b)because I actually thought about it and want to fix things?
c) play the lottery or something, rob a bank
d) better schools, more capable children/teenagers. I also wrote "path to" previously and I'm not demanding children to design cpus.
e)you're an asshole, probably a jew too.
Matthew Young
>these shitty auto mechanic/plumber comparisons oh so you’re just a moron who worships the Red Hat model as a universal panacea but doesn’t actually understand it? makes sense now
it’s incredible to me that people are even bothering to argue with such an uninformed and ignorant shitty opinion
Blake Cruz
What the fuck man, I'm trying to picture what's going on your head. Just how do you think that would work? So there's a demand for better CPUs, then what? I hire an engineer to design a CPU, pay him good money, then I have to give this design I paid for to my competitors? For free? Why?
Jordan Watson
You're confusing R&D with paying a service. When you pay for a service, you expect a problem to be solved in a single payment, more often than not. Materials are provided by yourself at a loss, through your own funding, to achieve an expected result. R&D requires people offering a service to develop something yet unknown, with materials provided by you at a loss, through your own funding, to try to achieve what you intend to find. This is not guaranteed, and will require you to repeat the same process until you find what you are looking for. This means you will be spending considerably more than just paying for a service with an defined result. That's why R&D is costly. That's why it needs to be locked down for third parties, until you can recoup the cost. That's why patents exist, and also have an expiration date. You have a beef with patents that might be legitimate. But you're so fucking confused that you come off as an ignorant communist.
Henry Thomas
>why 1. anyone capable can fix bugs 2. next desgin can be based to most efficient and useful previous invention and doesn't have to hide it's usage in NDAs or develop around the patents 3. if you do good job designing you'll probably be paid again for another job doing the next one
Parker Anderson
>1. anyone capable can fix bugs For free? It better be because I ain't paying for it, ask the guy at VIA to pay. >2. next desgin can be based to most efficient and useful previous invention and doesn't have to hide it's usage in NDAs or develop around the patents Why though? It takes work, time and money to optimize something, I can just keep selling this product I already have and that everyone else is selling. >3. if you do good job designing you'll probably be paid again for another job doing the next one Wait, I'm getting paid? I'm the company making these chips, remember? Who's paying me to develop tech?
Kevin Young
I'm not confusing anything. I see nothing wrong with development as a service.
Someone wants a problem solved, and somebody else is providing a service to solve it. there can be reports and what-not to prove to the customer they're no lazy bums simply recieving money.
That's it.
However there can still be a "I have a problem - who can solve it?" and "I can solve it if you pay me" service that produces results in single payment.
Gabriel Flores
Are you aware of the problems nVidia had with the Fermi chip yields? Or Intel for that matter? Who exactly do you think is going to answer for a bad, but unavoidable, R&D decision? The materials lost to bad batches? The government? The FSF? The consumer, with a ridiculously priced product? Are you thinking this thoroughly? Do you think manpower is the only cost-incurring issue here?
Kayden Wright
You’re absolutely fucking retarded.
Juan Thomas
>For free no, paid by those affected by the bugs?
>optimize well, if there is no demand why do it? no it wouldn't make sense to do something nobody needs unless you're a communist getting paid anyway for shit or you're just somone who enjoys his hobby.
>who somone is demanding the new desgin, that someone has to pay for it. it really makes no difference if the chip producer employs the engineer or the customer.
Owen Cook
this is not trolling needs more effort. Try again 0/10
Hunter Adams
production =/= R&D
if someone produces something with faulty incomplete research it's obviously the producers fault for doing stupid shit.
remember it's also open and can be peer reviewd and shit. you can also employ somone to check the results of reseach. the rest is matter of contracts and stuff.
Thomas Long
> it's obviously the producers fault for doing stupid shit. Look, I humored you, but all your arguments are poorly informed, and it is evident you do not know the least bit about R&D. >remember it's also open and can be peer reviewd and shit. And who is testing this? Theory =/= practice. It is also evident you've never delved into proper research.
Charles Diaz
How the fuck does any portion of this incoherent, terrible idea sound good to you? You want to basically make consumers and hobbyists even more irrelevant than they already are in a world where only megacorporations with no technical background and shitloads of money to burn can meaningfully influence technological advancement, provided they even care for it at all. You want to further fragment the market and encourage vendor lock-in and other predatory practices, you want to put the entire industry in the hands of the wealthy few who can afford to run a fab.
You’re seriously a fucking idiot, go fuck yourself.
Jaxon Taylor
Let's shift the situation a bit. People need to locomote, they want cars. Cars need oil. There's the problem. So you want to provide this service, of providing oil. But you'll need an oil rig, and that's expensive. In the real world very few companies have the capital needed to build and operate an oil rig. But ok, you can pitch in with a lot of investors who also want to get in this business and solve people's need for oil, and in exchange you say they can also use the rig, or get a participation in your business. But wait, isn't this a bit like patents? Only those who paid would be able to use it. What you are proposing here is someone pays for the oil rig and ANYONE can go there and get the oil, without having invested a penny. In this world of yours no one would invest in making an oil rig (with the exception of the government, who cheats with taxes), even if there's money to be made from it.
Dominic Cox

Gabriel Garcia

Adam Butler
When a board like Jow Forums unanimously agrees that you are retarded, it's time to shut up, pack up, and leave.
Evan Edwards
Technology patents aren't the main reason intel or amd stays on top, its because you need an abs fuck ton of money for anything related to processor dev (R&D) and production. The entry cost alone is enough to scare anybody dumb enough to try it away.
Brody Hall
>no r&d this argument is completely "muh roads" tier
copyright like patents is shit and must be removed.
there is no need for it, if you get paid for making something.
Nolan Wood
>technology patents should be abolished I agree. >everything must be opensource. I disagree. Companies still want to make a good deal of profit on their labour. >stricter privacy laws and havier punishment. I agree in principle, but this isn't the way to go about it. There's always going to be an alternative. You should have to compete in a free market. >technology, not just usage of it, must be teached in schools mandatory. Schools should have the ability to teach whatever they want. Making it mandatory just forces them to either hire another expensive teacher or force another teacher to work teaching this field. >a nation/world wide aid program (financial/ knowhow) for new technology, science and start ups Foreign aid doesn't work. It's a waste of money stolen from the citizens.
Benjamin Evans
Yes, I know that. We come full circle with costs. You make a hypothesis, test results, then release results. These aren't junior high experiments, these are delicate, expensive, time consuming tests. Your peer review implies someone else also did those expensive tests. You won't settle for one confirmation study, unless your wafer yields are satisfactory. Your yields... You know, to know how well production is doing would require multiple photolithography tests, wouldn't you think? Who is paying for both the original developer, and the peer reviewer's tests? I'm sure someone is. The problem is, once it works, you are releasing it without patents; everything is also open source. VIA didn't spend a single cent in R&D, but now has access to it, and will sell it for half the price. How do you recoup the costs? This is the third time this has been asked, without an answer from wonderboy.
Ryder Price
you paid for getting oil, you got oil. no need to over complicate things. technology/knowledge unlike actual resources aren't limited or getting exhaused when more people recieve it.
Samuel Walker
I dunno man, for all it's flaws you can't deny that the USSR went from a shitty, uneducated, agrarian shithole in 1924 to an industrial superpower in 1939 that was able to defeat Nazi Germany and then from 1950 engaged in a space and arms race against the NATO block. While this was going on the living standards in the USSR were steadily rising.
Caleb Hall
>recoup the costs again, someone paid for the research. if you provide a reseach service that doesn't cover your costs you're doing it wrong.
Ethan Clark
contracts and contract law would still exist without copyright and patents. you want something you pay for it.
Angel Collins
>copyright must be removed Should the state write books then? Or ask authors to write, or else send these authors to the gulag?
Who paid for it? A faceless megacorporation? Sure as fuck wasn’t a consumer.
Angel Parker
Nice! How is this benefactor recouping costs? After all, this guy just spent 2 billion on research, so how is he profiting from this? VIA is now owner of 15% of the market because of bad yields, but AMD just fired up production, and they are doing great, at 46% of the market! That's leaving you with 39% of market share. You, the one that hired Mr. Moneybags to fund your new CPU. Sure, you just need to sell them; you didn't lose anything. But one thing is certain. Mr. Moneybags won't be supporting another project of yours, because the ROI is miserable, and very distant. And of course, Mr. Moneybags has no right to claim anything gained by AMD or VIA.
Nolan Cooper
Spoken like a true child.
Caleb Ramirez
>living standards rising after war casulties and stalin killing around 60 Million christians, while still letting most of the poplulation be piss poor and hungry... some select few actually improved their living standards!? Unbelivable!

Ayden Turner
>technology patents should be abolished so everyone who wants and is able to can produce That is a contradictory statement. Abolishing parents simply means companies won't share their secrets, thus you get the EXACT opposite of what you want. Patents ARE the way in which companies share their secrets.
>everything must be opensource. Absurd thought, impossible to happen.
>stricter privacy laws and havier punishment Won't do anything, if it even will happen.
>technology, not just usage of it, must be teached in schools mandatory. Irrelevant.
>a nation/world wide aid program (financial/ knowhow) for new technology, science and start ups. one that makes sense and produces results. That is a really dumb idea, I do not see what COULD even be the point of it.
>Yeah, that's kinda it. You are proposing an enormous and idiotic program.
Your insanity lies in the belief that ANY institution with power would even want this. No government would want stricter privacy, no government wants open source.
Robert Anderson
>copyright like patents is shit and must be removed. Not if you care about companies giving away their secrets.
>if you get paid for making something A company doesn't get payed for an R & D success. They invest billions, either they keep it a secret, or they share it conditionally. This sharing is called a patent.
Chase Gray
how about the one that needs a book to be written. if an author simply writes something and releases it he's doing this on his own risk and there can not be a gurantee it will sell in the first place.
however if you produce/sell books you probably want to pay an author to write something so you have something to sell.
Dominic Baker
Who would put millions into research then if once they make a new innovation, other jews just mass produce the products they researched.
Lincoln Williams
Replace Mr. Moneybags with whichever corporation. Remember, after they fund the CPU, they're going to use it. It follows that they will want a piece of the production then. That will affect your supply, and you won't be able to meet the 39% market share. But, since this is open source and without patents, ARM will gladly take your place for whatever order you cannot fulfill. Here's a better solution! You use a patent, you are the sole provider of this product for a set amount of years, own 100% market share for that specific product, with a price tag that fits your projected sales and ROI. Considering you did a good market analysis, you won't be hurting when the patent expires in 6 years. Now THIS I can agree with. Keep the patents, but make them expire in a sensible amount of time, releasing some data to the public. You can't go spilling all the beans, mind you, but you could release info after some decades until you have the complete schematics and procedures to produce a chip 15 years later.

>if an author simply writes something and releases it he's doing this on his own risk and there can not be a gurantee it will sell in the first place. That is an enormous fallacy right there. "Not every product is successful therefore giving all products away for free is okay".

patents are fucking domain squatters, you just need to draw some squiggles, pretend you invented something, and Sue the pants off someone who actually did.

Mason Torres
>why did the population of the USSR grow those not killed or dying by starvation made children?
Isaiah Lee
No, that is not how patents work. Your delusion is not an argument, although you are right that there are some problems with parents, which are outweighed by the alternative. The alternative being all companies keep their secrets.
Carson Rodriguez
Hur durr muh randdee isn't an argument either
there is a demand for technology = the free market supplies it

Exponential growth. You could kill off 60M and have 60M breed to have 3 to 5 children per household, and safely get to 209M in 20 years.

>investigate company if you buy something and the source is not avaible, bingo, criminal acticity detected.
you say "then they keep it secret", who cares as long as it's not produced? If it get's produced they need workers. workers most often don't want to produce things that laws prohibit because it makes them criminals. criminals probably don't care but then again criminals will always exist in one way or another and police fighting them.
Brandon Wright
Fuck off statist bitch.
Gabriel Sanders
If population grew from 137M in 1920 to 182M in 1951 and 60M died, that means that 137M people had to have had (45+60)=105M children. That means that while this mass killings were going on the population have to have doubled. But how could it if they were all starving and living in shitty conditions?
Most of these arguments against the USSR don't even hold up logically, let alone historically.
>populations grow exponentially Think about that statement for a moment. Not every single person in a population is of child-bearing age, you have children and old people who make up a large part of it. Besides, for it to grow exponentially people would have to do nothing but breed. While Stalin went around hospitals killing newborns and having parents make more.
Again, if USSR was such a shithole where everyone starved how could they have had exponential growth in population?
Jonathan Brown

>If it get's produced they need workers. workers most often don't want to produce things that laws prohibit because it makes them criminals. criminals probably don't care but then again criminals will always exist in one way or another and police fighting them. No worker could possibly comprehensive whether their manufacturing process is new or old.

Dylan Fisher

Isaac Ortiz
Ok, not exponentially. But I provided the statistics for the average size of family. 25% of the population had at least 3 kids in 1959, and 36% in 1939. Family size did decrease noticeably up until 1989, which proves how shitty conditions were. But 20 years allows for a new generation to be born, or even two. I don't think rural areas waited for girls to be 18; they could as well fuck the girls at 14 or 13 years of age.
Brody Garcia

Whoever paid for it still wants ROI. You know what would happen in this world of yours? The only sound investment would be in commodities or services. Agriculture, mining, oil would take most of the money. Industry would be the last priority for investors.
Isaac Parker
A better argument would be that WW2 killed like 20 million russians, mostly males, and so the population was unnaturally low, but female population wasn't. Birth rate would be tied to quantity of females and so the birth rate was actually rather constant but the mass death due to WW2 caused it to look like it was a much bigger population boom when in reality it was just normal growth.
Andrew Rivera

point d) education should provide people with the ability to understand what they're doing. if it's open source, you can actually look if it's doing what you want it to do. if you didn't then nobody is at fault but yourself. if someone produces something broken to begin with (as in it isn't equal to the source) it's probably illegal and that company must be responisible for it.
