And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted t...

According to 1900s Indian culture (influenced by 500 years of Mughal rule and 300 years of British rule), women could not step out of the house (prior to Mughal rule there were no such restrictions on women in the Indian culture btw). Eventually the Indian women did step out in late 19...
Judge Michel rightly said that the patent system has become the domain of propagandists, “narrative” builders and spin artists, and not experts. For example, we hear these patent propagandists scream “God save us from patent trolls!” But, did anyone ever ask where the term “patent troll...
