But if I copyright the prompt to the input of the AI, does that not also become a derivative work? I do believe in the US (I could be wrong) that copyright does exist without registering it with the US government.

On 2, I've seen this go the other way. The capital is going towards the business and not the (maybe questionable) lifestyle of the founders. Once it's a full fledged business with a steady income stream, an above average salary w

I think this ruling is wrong. It's not hard to imagine a compiler using AI to optimize byte code, and so now the binary it creates is no longer copyrightable? Compilers and transpilers, even though someone else may have wrote them, the

Listen to yourself. That's what management is supposed to do: manage people -- including other managers. You can't both accept and deny responsibility in the same breath. If you truly believe that, then this is cognitive disson

Well, I see two issues. The first is getting mass adoption of your app, and tell people what makes it so much better than what we already have (facebook/twitter/nextdoor/instagram/etc). Also lost pets are common, but the

If those fixes take years to get released, that's not really a good thing. One year with bug fixes is typically okay unless you're dealing with hardware.

Then managers are only a salary line -- one that can go away apparently.

A lot of women complained about the "boys only club" in the 70s/80s/90s. While things have gotten better for women, there is still a lot of "club" going on.

Listen to yourself. It's management's job to manage people. Some of those people are going to be managers. So management can't police themselves apparently? I don't buy it.

I'm going to make the observation that politics in a company is caused by management. The more "politics" you have at a company, the more you pay in a "political tax". Effort which should benefit the company is de

Wait. My theory was that they were so popular making a solution like this, that they were overwhelmed with orders. Kinda like how Framework have a 3-6 month wait from order to delivery. I'm guessing they're getting through the

Anything more than 40 hours is wasted life. You're not going to be rewarded for it. If they're cheap enough to not hire labor, they're going to underpay you for 40 hours of work. It's different if they give you some k

If you're in a war of attrition (like the the US was in Afghanistan), and the other side already has agreed it's okay to kill innocents (9/11), then you're not going to win by fighting an "ethical" war -- whate

I don't recall agreeing to any oath like that when I applied for a US clearance. I just recall the NDA. I may have pledged allegiance to the US flag when I was a kid, but that wasn't the same as taking an oath of elected office t

So typically I'm fine with something like a $50 upfront cost and then $10/year for updates (that actually get updated). Or maybe a license with $70 with two years of updates included and then $10/year afterward. Or what Jetbr

How do you do this? Taxes? Increase worker salaries? Government funded health care? Access to cheap labor is what really drives economies. Market forces are what drive labor salaries. More people cheaper labor. It used to be in the 60s

If you can't verbalize your reasons, it doesn't belong in a code review -- otherwise it's preference. And that's where people get confused about what a "code smell" is really supposed to be.

I think for simple cases, it's great. If you have remote boxes somewhere that needs administration, it's awesome. If you have more complex cases, the IPTables/Netfilter rules make it vastly more difficult to manage, particul
