Communication systems have methods to compensate for timing errors. And it's probably feasible to build all those circuits at the server side. But bitrate would be low.

I agree, sharing code is better for the research community. But once you share everything, you sort-of lost your edge. And since we live in a very competitive society, that's a big problem. Not just for academia, btw. As for ideas: I t

GitHub and open-source are Amazing, for sure. But if you're looking at something close to inventions(and not "just" useful product features) from open source, I would look for open-source projects that are publically funded ,

Adware based products win in the marketplace. Google can't change that. At least the money from those adware products goes toward deep tech r&d. It could be worse.

So in the past, out of that $200, $100 went to labor. Now, only $80 are left, and capable robots also compete for that. So maybe you spend only $40 on labor. So now you support only 40% percent of jobs. And that's without considering s
