@chrashwood That is unfortunate. The scientific discussions that once took place on this platform were essential for training xAI.

@an_chem In engineering journals, you compare your work to the state-of-the-art. In mass spectrometry, it seems like taking and claiming others' work (even commercial products) is a common practice. You have to just do so subtly to make others believe it is your own original work.

The ultimate question across all sciences: "Is life a common cosmic phenomenon?"

@t_kaloudis Report to the patent office. It is waste, fraud, abuse of the patent office resources to examine this application.

@mass_spec1 I monitor patents applications in this space

@elonmusk This is misleading. Tesla recently sued Rivian for trade secret misappropriation. Patents and trade secrets are IP rights with the difference that one gets a 20 yr monopoly (patent) by disclosing it to the public. Why sue Rivian if you think IP is for the weak?

@elonmusk @farzyness In face, SpaceX was involved in a lawsuit involving an A-team of Iranian RF engineers…

@dschweppe1 @chrashwood @mjmaccoss If R2's comment specifically targets the 7e9 intensity as being low, simply stating that there’s no single-point measure for data quality might miss the mark. I would just focus on arguing that 7e9 being low is subjective.

@dschweppe1 I would argue that 7e9 is an arbitrary number. Unfortunately, vendors keep ion currents confidential, without which, the S/N remains the only meaningful basis for comparison—assuming, of course, that vendors don't artificially boost S to produce more favorable spectra.

@the_ion_doctor Congrats!

@chrashwood @nesvilab @mjmaccoss @wfondrie @paragmallick It could be that or it could be that by giving access, the results of comparison could be damaging to their software.

@i000 @nesvilab @wfondrie Do you think vendors engage in anticompetitive behavior? Why did Thermo shut down SEQUEST? Could Thermo have acquired SEQUEST and made it open source to push the community forward? Would the community be in a better place if that had happened?
