  • Also I second your comments that patents often block innovation if not used or licensed too expensive, imI would like to share a different perspective on this.

    In pharmacy, the research, development and testing of new medication takes years and costs tons of money. If a drug is out of patent, generic drugs made in India for a fraction of the costs in developed countries. Typically the original producer stops the production as they can’t succeed the race down.

    If there won’t be patents that protect inventions, there won’t be medical research in developed countries. Antibiotics is one example where the broken incentive for medical industry to invent already became obvious. There are no new antibiotics anymore. Since years.

    Imho, it’s not this good/bad thing with patents. It’s rather a „how you use it“




  • Ja, ich glaube das stimmt so. Verdienst du 2024 und 2025 65.000€ im Jahr musstest du vorher 14,6% in 2024 bis BBG 62.100€ zahlen, also 9066,65€ Krankenkassenbeiträge im Jahr.

    In 2025 würdest du mit deinen 65.000€ Jahresverdienst unter dem BBG liegen und dann 9490€ im Jahr zahlen. Eine Steigerung von 4,7%

    Bei dem angenommen Lohnwachstum von 6,4% (wo? ich auch bitte) wären das 69.225€ Jahresverdienst und 9066,60€ Krankenkassenbeiträge im Jahr. Also wie vorher, die glücklichen 6,4-Prozenter-AN.

    Da ich die 6,4% Lohnerhöhung nicht glaubhaft finde, ist es vermutlich eine verkappte Erhöhung für alle.















  • Just wait some years - they have solid state batteries close to industry ready. That means huge increase in capacity and no issues with temperature.

    Next stage will be structural batteries where you take the structure as battery. For a tank that means all the armour will be charged and work as battery. Just a matter of years.

    Loading time is solved already. It’s a matter of battery temperature while infusing power and solved by battery management software.

    Any idea why the Boston Dynamics robots aren’t on a battle field? I mean the do incredible stunts. It‘s the battery. Lasts for around 2-3 hours. Today. Military is working on that, I‘m pretty sure.
