  • Meh, the article mostly argues semantics. Sure “intellectual property” is a loaded phrase, but what is meant by the layperson is just “I made it, I should profit from it”, i.e. copyright. We’re not talking about massive corporations here and hindering right-to-repair, I’m talking to a guy who made something useful (likely software or music or whatever creative) and wants to sell it.

    I agree that talking about it vaguely is not super useful, but this is just a small casual discussion forum, not some legal debate.


  • Stealing intellectual property is only a problem because your survival is not guaranteed without it. If you could live a comfortable life no matter what, it would be much better for the whole of humanity if your current IP was simply available to everyone.

    Just imagine if all the duplicate work from competition immediately disappeared and instead everyone in whatever field just shared their insights and built on each other’s work.

    Of course, that only works once everyone’s survival is not dependent on this IP concept anymore. But it should be clear that in an utopian society, IP is just stupid.






  • While there is no area in the friction equation, in the real world it is nonetheless a factor. You got to remember that a larger area makes it so small patches of lower friction (sand patch or water or trash or whatever) have less of an impact, with more area you have a higher chance to still be in contact with the asphalt. More area also gives more opportunity for the ridges in tires to displace water or grip onto gravel/dirt. While simple contact friction is the same, total friction is not necessarily depending on the conditions.


  • You’re supposed to be “mean” (it’s not mean at all) in this case.

    Tell them to stop following you around or talking to you, nicely, exactly once.

    Then, if they don’t comply, you are probably dealing with a troll who enjoys annoying people. Children especially are prone to that. You have to stop doing anything interesting for a bit, just go afk, make a tea or whatever, and wait until they get bored and move on. Then you can resume playing. Or even, if that is a thing in this game, get a moderator to remove them.

    Insisting on your preferred way to interact (or not) is not mean, it’s required for your mental health. They have no right at all to interact with you if you don’t want it, and they should be respecting it. If they don’t, any amount of "mean"ness is warranted.
