Better registered® trademarks™ instead of software patents
An addendum to software patents and a discussion with Dr. Paul Rübig on LinkedIn
Software is a composition of many individual components and different algorithms.
Prefer registered® trademark™ over software patents
Nevertheless, it is highly advisable to handle software patents with extreme cautio, as someone else may have already created this or a similar combination of identical algorithms, or someone else may create them without being aware of the patented work.
It is recommended to register complete products or product suites as registered trademarks ™ rather than via software patents.
Registered trademarks offer better protection against virtually identical copies where only minor layout changes have been made and a code scrambler has been used.
Registered ® trademarks ™ prevent imitation of trademarks, but not of competing products, see

Code Snippets
In my opinion, code snippets, such as those used on Stack Overflow, Git, and in various API references, can be copied 1:1 into any source code if they atomic explanations, e.g.:

Basic statements, that are often used identically

see all Google results for switch (pid = fork())Last but not least,
limit patent (intelectual property) rights in timeUnlimited IP rights on patents would lead to monopols, which are dangerous for a developing innovative economy.
Pharma drugs have patent and Intelectual property right for some years, later generic pharma products are allowed to enter the market:

A patent is valid for a maximum of 20 years from the date of application.

Mathemathische Modellierung
Ich meine ein Tool, dass mehrere plausible mathematische Lösungsmodelle offenbart, sobald man diverse Daten und Formeln eingibt, nach heuristischer Priorität sortiert.
man kann ja wechselseitige Gleichgewichtssysteme durch unterschiedliche Methoden der Mathematik modellieren, wie
- Polynome n-ten Grades
- Simplex (lineare Optimierung)
- Differenzengleichungen
- Differntialgleichungen
- Neuronale Netze
- Gleichgewichtsgleichungen (mit oder ohne resusirven Elemente)
- Geometrische Modellierung
- ...
- dass die Anzahl der zugelassenen Kraftfahrzeuge im Normalfall nicht die Anzahl der Bürger eines Staates übersteigt.
- dass es zumindest ¼ Geburten pro Jahr gibt im Vergleich zu Todesfällen
- dass die Strahlkraft der Sonne langsam abnimmt (sehr kleines epsilon)
- dass Photovoltaikanlagen an Effizienz minimal gewinnen (sehr kleines epsilon)
- dass die Flussgeschwindigkeit der Flüsse abnimmt
- dass Turbinen besser optimiert werden können, mehr als die Flußgeschwindigkeit der Flüsse abnimmt
- dass Computer alle 5 Jahre die doppelte Prozessorleistung bei ¾ der ursprünglichen Eingangsleistung
- dass man auf jeder neuen Prozessor Hardware nur ein Unix/Linux System innerhalb von 6 Monaten nach Launch hinbekommt....

Personal open cloud VPN box
Personal Cloud VPN is an easy to implement idea
- to avoid breaking SSL via transparent bluecoat or squid bump
- to monitor all your input / output traffic
- to keep 100% control over your input / output traffic
https://www.f5.com/go/ebook/secure-multicloud-networking-for-dummies
Blue Coat Proxy (now Broadcom Edge SWG / ProxySG) performs SSL/TLS inspection by terminating the encrypted client connection, decrypting and analyzing the traffic, and establishing a new connection to the destination server.

Market competition - where it's useful and where it's definitely not
Market competition among mobile network providers
In the past (before year 2000), the market was mainly dominated by Mobilkom,
a subsidiary of
Telekom Austria, which was itself a subsidiary of Austrian Post.
When we look at the market shares of mobile network operators, some only see the job cuts at the former Mobilkom. However, nobody calculates the number of new jobs created by the competition or considers whether there are now more jobs overall for mobile network operators in the Austrian market than during the near-monopoly era.
precarious jobs
There are always people, including rarely some german economists, who call for more competition in the precarious job sector.
Simple moving companies with small trucks charge at least €38-€50 per hour and don't work for less than an hour. You can only book them for one hour or more.
Distributing printed advertising flyers costs €0.11 per piece at the post office.
Private distribution agencies in Vienna often charge between €39 and €60 per 1,000 pieces for distribution alone. It's nearly impossible to find a reputable offer below that price. Lowering prices in the precarious segment risks poor or no service at all. (Some advertising leaflets end up in the trash and there is no legal company at all behind it.)
Trying to cut prices in the lowest price segment almost never works; there, the key is to offer better guaranteed performance and quality. Customers in the lowest price segment are almost always interested in guaranteed performance and quality, and rarely in a price reduction of 0.01 cents.
Prices that are too low often cause customers to fear that the required service will actually be provided or not.

Hauptsätze des 1. Parteilosen
1. Hauptsatz des 1. Parteilosen
Für die Schaffung oder Beibehaltung von Wohlstand in einem Land/Staat ist immer eine für die Gesellschaft nutzbringende nachhaltige (sozialökologische) Leistung erforderlich!
Ableitung aus dem 1. Haupsatz
Leistungslosen Wohlstand gibt es nicht und nicht geschaffener Wohlstand kann auch nicht verteilt werden!
2. Hauptsatz des 1. Parteilosen
Je mehr Leistungsträger zur Erbringung einer für die Gesellschaft nützlichen Leistung beteiligt sind und je höher der Wertschöpfungsgrad der gesamten Leistergesellschaft ist, desto mehr nachhaltigen Wohlstand hat das Individuum, die gesamte Gesellschaft und das Land.
