you’ll probably need to talk to some people about it before you secure patent protection. whenever this comes up, have people you talk to sign a non disclosure agreement first. talking about your idea outside of an NDA would most likely be considered public disclosure and could limit your ability to get a payment for it.

talk to a patent attorney

just started using Firefox with ublock origin for the same reason. I run the kagi plug-in on Firefox so I can tailor my search engine preferences (https://kagi.com/). I go back and forth between those two mostly.

outstanding list!

HA! sick burn

I really shouldn’t respond to this since I’m just rehashing up one of the stupidest arguments I’ve ever had. but, what you said is actually pretty close to what my position was. we parted ways when it came to the more distant cousins. I suggested a cool hundred K USD out to second cousins 'cause, after all, 300 million doesn’t buy as much as it used to

but surprisingly, it didn’t really matter because we didn’t win the lottery. imagine that. /s.

My lesson learned was that arguing on principle isn’t usually worth it

My wife and I bought 10 lottery tickets at a time when the pot got up to 300 million or something like that. we were talking about what we would would do with the money once we won and couldn’t agree on how many of our friends mortgages we would pay off. we MAY have had some other things going on in a relationship at that time, but it’s still one of the stupidest arguments I’ve ever gotten in.

we’re a social species. community standing plays a role in our ability to find mates and improves our childrens’ chances of survival

people are generally ok. put them in a situation where they can climb over other people to advance and watch the rot begin.

so, while people are generally ok, corporate people are generally not.

North East, US here. probably fine but I don’t trust it. we use a water filter for drinking
