Seems like I messed up carrying over thoughts over language barrier.

Where was I unclear?

patents expire. so nestle shoudln't be able to "patenting human milk proteins for decades"

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 years ago

Patents can be renewed, to my knowledge, and "for decades" as in "since the 90s".

[-] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 2 years ago

Patents can't be renewed. After expiring, they become public domain.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

For decades may as well be anything from 20 years up, afaik patents may live for 50 years so this seems to work fine

Maybe there is an Oxford comma? I understood what you meant

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
