Exactly. Any form of "agree and accept that /X/ does not relate to the employment" sort of thing. But you have to be very specific about what is carved out.

The plain reading meaning of "in the course of" is not the case law, though, it has established precedent - and most of that favoured the employers in question. I don't know of a case that took into account "personal tim

Copyright is automatically the employer's in the UK: the term is "in the course of employment", and no contractual language is required. The employer is effectively the author. What that term means is a matter of case law, an

It just means you need a liquidity event. Many investors don't want to cash out early stage employees, many PE will only want to buy the whole thing. If the business can't take out a loan or similar, and those staying can't a

I wish they did "User Files" instead of "Users" too, because so much software breaks on the home area having a space in it. Not least, it makes writing scripts for various shells and getting the quoting rules right an ab

Azure claim a bunch of standards, inc the various ISO, SOC, etc as well as claiming HIPAA et al. Now, I haven't checked this service is in scope, but I would presume it is. Given such an obvious piece of external evidence that the IMS

A BIOS is just code at the cold-boot memory location, there's no obvious reason to believe that isn't a simple extension to this project. Equally, the TRAP mechanism for I/O to terminal is not vastly different to the INT 21h

Yeah, but they state it in quite non-obvious terms: "you might hit the rate limit", or "you could be flagged as spam if you send to multiple recipients". The real risk is that someone finds this script on your website, o

The homepage claim is that no server-side code is required to integrate it - so this seems to allow anyone to rock up on your website, call into the EmailJS service, and trigger an email? Given that EmailJS doesn't send email directly

The storage is at the high end and better than most other EV chemistries by 50%+. It's unusable because it doesn't survive long enough, but I think the point is if they can solve the cycle issue then this chemistry becomes availab

The PoW algorithm needs to effectively pick winners more or less at random, with a consistent number of winners (and gaps between), and the results be self-evidently correct. There are few problems which fit those criteria and are useful...

It's relatively new. The basic idea is to bridge the gap between rental and home ownership: you don't need as big a mortgage to buy a share of a property, and you can benefit (proportionately) from any capital gains from the incre

The "wheeze" you talking about is just avoiding double taxation. The business pays corporation tax on the profit it makes : while salaries are an expense, dividends are not. So you're paying 19% on revenue above the "min

OpenStreetMap seem to have missed a trick. The GB patent was thrown out for being obvious, and the report on the exam is public. They also suggested withdrawing the application due to the EU one being filed.

No, it's definitely cash and equivalents. The shareholder account is virtually £50m at this point, and they had nothing like that cash until the raises in 2017.
