Most IP should be scrapped completely in the age of free and cheap information. I really don't have any sympathy to big corps making money from IP, and small entities are finding more and more ways to give their IP away and find revenue elsewhere (hardware, swag, live events, Patreon, etc).
Scrapping IP would be a big step in making more, smaller, and more sustainable businesses instead of our current 'grow or get bought out' mindset.
Ideas are a dime a dozen, execution is all that matters. I would wager that most reading this website have had strangers and family alike approach them for help with with their huge ideas, which really means "you are the programmer you do it all".
Most of which are utterly unoriginal, yet they want you to sign an NDA or promise to keep it secret. Patents and to some extent copyright/trademarks tilt the scale heavily away from innovative ideas toward 'derivative but licenseable'.
I am running on 4 hours of sleep, hopefully my word salad makes sense.
Ideas being cheap and execution being everything applies mostly to businesses that laypeople people can think up and start. Because they are not usually in a position to do new research, but great execution is always scarce. In pharma (which I’ve worked in) and I guess other industries like semiconductors, materials etc good ideas are everything and competitors could copy the invention that took years to decades for just single or double digit millions so patents arguably drive a lot of research there.
I haven't used tailscale so... I think so? Tailscale is pretty light on the details, and even their docs say that they have been reluctant to describe how it works.
>People often ask us for an overview of how Tailscale works. We’ve been putting off answering that, because we kept changing it!
Yggdrasil is fully peer to peer and doesn't require a central coordinator like tailscale does. Ygg is closer to a global network than a private one. You can make a private network, but if any peers on the network peer to the global net then your whole network is now peered. this should be handled at the firewall level, or with an overlay VPN.
This is correct in the sense of peering, however hosts behind a NAT can simply connect to any other host on the network such as a pubic peer and then they can accept incoming connections over the yggdrasil network.
I use yggdrasil for NAT hole punching my VPN, for example.
The computer that you used required skills to use and maintain, and stayed at home. It is vastly different than a dumb (yes) internet appliance kept in a pocket all day long subjecting children to dark patterns and dopamine hits for hours a day.
Even on a street only trip I'd prefer an adventure bike to most street bikes, the rugged factor shouldn't be discounted when you're 1000+ miles away from home and outside of cell signal.
Dual sports can usually withstand a few drops with nothing more than new levers, parts are cheap, and maintenance is usually easier than street bikes. I almost always recommend a small dual sport as a first bike. If you get a used one for a decent price you can almost always sell it for what you paid for it even if it takes a couple of tumbles, and you can see if you like off-road too.
>At least they're not as silly as the trend of sticking knobbly tyres on road bikes for that "scrambler" look.
FWIW I've got a mid-weight streetfighter that I'd love to put some 50/50 tires and a skid plate on. But I already take it into the dirt so it would be an improvement.
And yes, supermotos might be the ultimate motorcycle.
Would like to jump on this comment to agree with you.
A buddy of mine dropped his s1000rr coming out of a right turn at a traffic light and was up for around $8k in damages... He was only going ~10mph. I envy those who can fix their bikes after dropping them for $20 when they didn't even have frame sliders etc.
Yeah, I ride a semi-naked and as my first 'big bike' (I've had it nearly a decade, though) it's been dropped a couple of times, with only a couple of scuffs on the crankcase to show for it. Definitely a big consideration!
Unregulated encryption will be out in the next decade, it's too powerful for us plebes to have. Things will be safer when only the paragons of infosec like big corporations and banks get to use it freely.
