Well kinda, maybe partly as a "don't do it this way" lesson!

No it isn't: the latter will still have an author (flesh or machine) that you should identify. The creator of the image, not where/how you happened to find it, is most relevant. All IMHO.

The ethical thing to do is to credit your image source, IMHO.

And thanks again for the Zenodo clue! I now have my first two DOIs, one (data) via Dryad and one (code) via Zenodo.

Insightful and nicely written. I spent decades in finance including investment banking and as a director/founder of a small retail operation. A lot of this really rings true.

There are alternatives such as Rust for some of the error-elimination cases that Java was covering. I'm still using Java and improvements in it continue, and like COBOL it won't die completely, but there is a good argument for loo

Yes. An climate-fixing accelerator. Was very positive for my last start-up. We didn't create the start-up for it. We may have formalised/incorporated then.

It appears to be straightforward denialism.

At least in the UK a charity is a lot of admin overhead. The volunteer organisation that I spend most of my time with is not even incorporated. I also spent over a decade as a school governor (unpaid!) which I think made a difference, esp

I didn't know that such a thing existed either, in fact I thought that the maximum time you could ever take on one (watching the struggles of an old manager of mine) was less than mine is scheduled to take. I am self-funded. Part-time

I am in a similar position to you (though not quite IPO scale exit)!, and I am doing a part-time PhD in work related to what I was doing before so I get to use skills and facts learnt. I think that I'm doing useful stuff, and the exper

Experience. And double whatever number feels right, and possibly again. I try to break down such a task, often a large one, into parts no bigger than about half a day, working out the overall structure and some of the detail of each part.

Grow your network and be talking to people you might want to work with well before you graduate. Accumulate some experience and more contacts in holidays or part-time. Or create your own business: I ran one throughout my undergrad course

If you showed the same card to two different tenticles of Amazon, why would you not expect it to look up that unique identifier centrally? (This may be of dubious legality under GDPR.)

I don't know. But they will likely need equity to incentivise others. Your remaining stock could be more valuable with the apparently unpleasant path now.

Woot! Thanks for the DataDryad info. I am lodging a tiny test data set with them now...

Without it no one can discuss anything that that they may (for example) wish to apply for a patent on.

You seem to dismiss Y2K as nothing at all. That isn't true. I would like people to use nuance and gradation rather than inaccurare hype and yes/no binaries when they aren't. You seem to claim to dislike hype too, so why ad

There are also national and university data repositories that might be interested and for which 5GB is not even noticable!

No, there was lots of stuff to fix, most of which was found and fixed in time, but there was BAU to get on with as well. Please stop claiming it wasn't a thing. It was. Would you have preferred no one to have worked on it and allowed

Hmmm, I was actually fixing stuff that had already been going wrong for a while, such as long financial transactions that crossed the date boundary. It's very annoying to have an actual issue that got largely fixed, dismissed as just
