[23:18:43] <exec> 08└─Are the courts in Texas intentionally trolling the rest of the country? The court’s argument is that on average people are shitty photographers, so someone can patent the same techniques as used by half way decent photographers. Which flies in the face of ‘someone skilled in the art’. Ah fuck...

Really, why even mess with a printed check if you are using your toy cell phone anyway? Don't all loyal iPhone owners use Apple PayPayPay anyway? Or GooglePay, or even good old PayPal?...

[23:18:47] <exec> 08└─The whole thing is bullshit and the patent system is broken. This is corporate welfare and protectionism to provide profits to the elites for what is blindingly fucking obvious. It's important too, because it precludes open source projects, and we know damn well that credit unions would cooperate to...

[23:19:11] <exec> 08└─Unlike industrialization, the problem here could be that the jobs that WON'T be automated may be jobs that most people cannot learn the skills to do. It may not be a simple matter of retraining. Stop being a truck driver and become a rocket scientist, brain surgeon, mathematician, or AI expert.

And, is there some fundamental limit to automation? The answers are, quite clearly to me, yes (and rather quickly), and no. The first question is...
