>Elimination of corporate skunk works like PARC
This is a big problem. PARC, Bell Labs, IBM Research are the first that come to mind. Same is true for mostly government-funded initiatives like the one where Marc Andreessen invented Mosaic browser, that eventually became Netscape Navigator. I don't recall the project name. Do we even do that anymore?
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoWe still have DARPA. We also have ARPA-E, ARPA-H, and HSARPA. A variety of DOE national labs and core facilities (including NCSA where Mosaic was developed) still exist and are funded. We may need more to take up the slack of the corporate research facilities.
