| schestowitz | It's not an American issue (to be fair). It sure is an issue and one that I've been writing about for years. That too has not been been patented as an American invention, however the issue known as NPEs (aka "patent trolls") is worse in the US than in any other country that I can think of. The system used to defend small practicing entities rather than act as a tool of protectionism, but there we go... | May 01 14:36 |

| oiaohm | There are a lot of patent holders out there who could make apple and MS live a living hell. | May 01 14:37 |
| oiaohm | Particularly if they decide to setting for code instead of cash. | May 01 14:38 |

| schestowitz | If work can become a way of life, a way of meeting new people, of doing what one is interested in, then the definition of work changes a bit. | May 01 17:45 |

| schestowitz | Here's my response to my cousin: | May 01 17:57 |
| schestowitz | "You may as well remember (I sure do) when we went to the icecream place and discussed what I would do after I receive my Ph.D. That was in April of 2006 (early April when I went to the US to present in an IEEE event and then came down to Miami). Back then I was exploring ways of doing what I enjoy the most and what matters to people who do good things. Working as a part-time post-doc was not possible as no such positions | May 01 17:57 |
| schestowitz | exist (I was told this in 2004, 2005, and again in recent years). One has to dedicate one's whole life to such a position, which means sacrifice of other activities in life. So I looked at other routes. This was accomplished all along as that very same year and about 4 months later an opportunity opened up for me and it has been similar since then. IIRC, you became a mother around my age, but I do not know much more about | May 01 17:57 |
| schestowitz | your career pursuits and how/why you departed from medicine/chemistry/pharma. I realise -- much like anyone comes to realise this based on my good friends who are twice my age and more than that sometimes -- that the career only *begins* in one's 20s. There is a lot more to life; on a moral basis, not just economic basis. A lot of people have regrets about what they did as they had looked at short-term goals and perhaps | May 01 17:57 |
| schestowitz | served malicious goals to serve their little egos. Some of these people have either guilt or no companions at all. Some become sociopaths. But the point of this whole ramble is that if one does what one enjoys rather than bow to social pressure, than one is likely to be a better citizen, bar all the pressure that being non-conformist might entail (conformism is exceedingly PR-centric, not reality based)." | May 01 17:57 |
| schestowitz | o | May 01 18:48 |
| schestowitz | > Who is talking about conformism? | May 01 18:48 |
| schestowitz | Many people do, even if they do not realise it. I occasionally have incidents (like 2 days ago) where, let us say, not watching someone else's wedding (a person whom I never met and who will never meet me) is considered out of the ordinary and "bad". We probably should improve our communication as I did not intend to sound confrontational or accusatory. Or maybe the tone is just being lost in text. :-) | May 01 18:48 |
