"Regulation stops innovation! Companies need to be free to do whatever the fuck they want to create innovation!"
My brother in Christ, if anything stops innovation, it's patents and copyright.
You're less likely to die in a car crash only because Volvo engineers gracefully decided to do humanity a favor and not patent the 3-point seatbelt technology.
But for example, a technology of safely stopping table saws is patented and only one company can create them, suing similar projects from other companies out of existence 🤡
@rail From my point of view, which could be considered biased because my day job is directly related to regulatory compliance, it isn’t regulation, it isn’t ip, it is management’s fear of failure or diminishment of profits that keeps the innovators stifled.
To be honest, innovation to me means a better product, and it occurs to me that some think it means higher profits through lower quality.
