  • But once they have the patent they can license it to others, this denies them the chance. The point being that the idea may die with the person rather then ever being known in the first place if filing is too big a burden.

    My understanding is you have to regularly pay to keep a patent valid until expiry, but I could be mistaken. Varies by country I’m sure.

    I agree with your premise that it’s better that someone with intent use it, but it’s not that black and white.




  • The attack vectors I’m thinking of just come from the inherent complexity and centralization. I’m just considering the amount of damage that can be done with a compromised DA account for example vs a non directory environment.

    It’s complicated. Done right it can be more secure, not done right it’s less secure.

    I also only get brought in for problems for the last however many years, so I’m probaby a bit biased at this point haha.

    I have had to tell companies they are going to have to rebuild thier AD from scratch because they didn’t know what thier DSRM password was (usually after a ransomware attack). These are the sort of hassles I think about vs non AD.



  • Over 6 trillion USD alone gets exchanged everyday on the currency markets. Cash flow is not the only source of money either, its an interface when value needs to be exchanged.

    Open cash flow worldwide is about 35 trillion.

    This is just cash though, if you take all markets and derivitives, depending on how you measure it - if you want to be technical about represented value then that’s worth over a quadrillion USD.

    When you talk about reallocation of assets you are playing in the pool of a quadrillion dollars, not in the pool of free cash flow (the interface to it)
