En, I don’t know. So much innovation has happened because of parent workarounds. Also they can kind of stop big companies just completely copying some innovation and driving the inventor out of businesses It’s pretty apparent in the 3d printing industry. Companies like Prusa, E3d, Ultimaker, MakerBot and Aleph-Objects brought consumer 3d printing from basically a hot glue gun to better than some $100k+ industry machines. All of them used to be completely open sourced. Ok, MakerBot and to some degree Ultimaker just went off the deep end, but Prusa is now also holding back their design files for a while after release, E3d has released their new hotend as basically closed Source. Why? Well they want to avoid going the path of Aleph-Objects who had to sell out to a holding company because Chinese manufacturers copied everything as fast as it could be developed and sold it for a fraction of the price.
I’d love if it didn’t have to be this way, but it kind of does now.
Edit: if near monopolies like intel AMD and Nvidia would have to give up their parents the world would most definitely be a more innovative place :D

Being better than one of the most destructive industries ever is not a high bar. But the most effective way to harvest lithium remains an open pit mine, which are arguably worse than literally anything else.
And then they go on to fight the predators to make it safe for the rest
I always thought the point of standing desks was, that you could periodically switch between standing and sitting. That should be at least somewhat beneficial right?
