Be careful not to assign a “patent troll” label to everyone defending their patent portfolio. Where do you mark the line?

There is a Nokia branch called Nokia Technologies. They invest money in R&D, they file for genuine patents involving new technology, for instance in audio and video compression. (They want to sue Netflix or already sued). Them defending themselves against patent abuse is how they earn money. And they go against other big corps. This is vastly different than your typical patent troll.
I hate this too. But - what if we start using this ability to our advantage, just like these guys did? Corps use it, let’s also abuse it so they can’t destroy us without also waiving their rights. LLCs are the privacy abstraction layer of the real world. I figured that even registering your own personal domain is much safer when done through your own LLC than on your personal name. The examples are many.
But mah profits!
737 Max is still a developing example of what happens when you leave corporate to self-regulate themselves.
We don’t have this kind of trucks in the Europe AT ALL and people still go fishing, do home repairs, carry heavy or large loads. This is all American lifestyle.
I’ve seen good amount of German dubbed goodies on various IRC XDCC channels (why are they so popular?)
You are totally right. Median and average alone mean shit without each other and without deviation, and such article like this is considered by me a manipulation without further correctness check. The same shit is with journalists confuckulating percentages with percentage points.
In over 10 years I was made aware by my university professor of these practices I haven’t found a single article which got that right.
