I've seen plenty of folks replacing furniture within 20 years. Not necessarily all furniture, but most. 20ish years gets you from student housing (first major buying of furniture) to your kids being teenagers. For plenty of furniture,

My ikea has a staircase going up into the maze. Under the stairs is a door to part 2 of the maze (ground floor)... if you turn left. Right is a shortcut to the warehouse (not the start of it, but aisle 31 or so near the cash registers).

Ikea offers a choice of affordable furniture that is easily "good enough". The price point is great for young families: accidents with furniture are not a catastrophe, you can afford to replace it. If you want design, go for that.

Since this discussion is all about patents: my 2 cents on improving the patent system. Consider a term project of an undergraduate CS course, where the goal is spelled out, but the method is left for discovery. Methods developed within any

Some measurements are interesting and valuable without being replicable. For example, the number of online devices or the number of websites using wordpress. Take the same measurement at a later point in time and the results are different.

As pointed out above, other employees may have left because of the misconduct aimed at them in the same time period. It'd be more than a little ironic to tar all of those with the "suspected offender" brush.

A 500-3000% increase in salary is different from a 5% increase, agreed. I would be genuinely amazed if you couldn't fill your positions once you started offering upwards of $1.5m yearly.
