Why not just limit patents to 3 years before they expire.
In today's world this should be all you need to pay for the research and go from startup to established company.

When did deflation in history lead to collapse of society?
Japan is in deflation for a long time and the life goes on.
On the other hand, the inflation in Germany lead to WW2, inflation was also at least partly responsible for the hunderd year war in Europe and the fall of the Roman Empire.

There are better ways to prevent downvote brigades than removing dislikes altogether. Not to mention that keeping likes around doesn't solve anything, as it can be exploited in the same way by upvote brigades!
As long as you don't start to actively detect fake accounts and don't limit the number of upvotes / downvotes per day a person can give, it will always be possible to game the upvote metric by a small group of people / bots.

Why does it try to look like vscode clone?
I understand that the vscode ecosystem is awesome. However, I always felt like the UI was severaly lacking behind proper IDE like intellij.
Give me intellij-like documentation popup, run, build & debug buttons and debug UI, and I will switch in an instant!

Wait, that's exactly what has been happening to me for the past few weeks. Each night I woke up after 2 hours of sleep with heart racing. Then I woke up another 2 times, due to tingling in my arm. My heart was calmer at that point.
I was wondering what could be the cause..

Well, I think the question really is, how much real money its creator got for selling his shares. If the number approaches anything near 1 million, I still think the situation is completely ridiculous.

However, it doesn't work that well on small mobile display. Perhaps keeping them next to each other, displaying only one and switching between them with right and left swipes would work better?
