They also have a WIPO patent[0], which may or may not affect you, depending on where you are. Also, since Github is based in US you might want to look elsewhere for project hosting (assuming that it's an open source project). [0] http

If you think that a voluntary exchange for mutual gain is "taking advantage of someone" then I honestly feel sorry for you.

Is the recipe protected? The company was started back in the 1980s, so any patent would have long expired. If it's just a trade secret then his competitors can just perform laboratory analysis on it and legally copy it.

they won't be hired by anyone because they have a sentence in their books I think you meant that some people prefers not to hire them, which drives their prospective wages down and, in turn, makes them more attractive candidates to

Has there been any scientific studies done on the benefits of mechanical keyboard? I've used one for years and it definitely feels faster and more comfortable, but I honestly can't tell how much of that is due to the placebo eff

OK, I'm fed up. China is really dangerous and way too aggressive. Obviously, its political system is on an imperialist ego-superpower course. It's spending on its military like crazy. The navy strives to reach a size and power nev

Mentioning China's lack of environmental regulations is just a red herring that distracts people from the real solution. Consider the following: It's illegal for me to build a cruise missile in the US. Likewise, it's illegal

Both the volume and duration are measures, which are strings of the format "value:unit". FYI, ISO 31-0 [0] already defines a single space as the separator between the value and the unit. Granted, most people (and even some scien

Didn't Google announce that they won't be taking any more DARPA contracts in the future? People were reading into that and suggesting that they were moving away from all military hardware all together. That's what I was told

But again, that's a totally separate issue from whether it is ok to just ignore the standards process and ship whatever you want, which is what Google is doing here. But isn't that exactly what happened with SPDY? They shipped i

Just like crypto, you really shouldn't roll your own phone number validation libraries. Just use Google's libphonenumber[0]. There's an iOS port of it [1]. [0] https://github.com/googlei18n/libphonenumber

We have no idea why his account was closed, but it is extremely unlikely it was due to suspected money laundering. If they suspect money laundering, they legally must report it (this is the case in the US, Canada, and the UK, at a minimum)
