Re:Ask HN: Copying already existing product and making it better

Whereas no one would openly admit to copying a product and naming that company publicly - it could be said that many products were birthed from different perceptions of a solution from a given problem space. Which, by virtue of convergent evolution though common customer requirements/user stories and focus groups, along with a standardisation of UX practices, end up with a largely overlapping feature base.
Re:High-power thermoelectric generator utilises thermal difference of ...

Well as you know current power generator technology for the most part uses a heat source (burning coal, nuclear reactor, etc.) to produce steam from water, this pressure difference is used to drive a generator which turns the rotational energy of the turbine into electrical energy. Thermo-electric devices like thermocouples and thermopiles convert heat energy directly into electrical energy.

Of course not, any country which is in the green on the World Happiness Report can do what they like - countries in the red however should, perhaps, look to prioritise what they spend their national resources on.

I find it unconscionable that a country with nuclear weapons and a space program still has a caste system, receives foreign aid in the 100s of millions (£) and is 93rd on the social progress index (2017). Get it together India!
