Source code is copyrighted surely? You can't share ebooks just because the "source" is open and visible, copyright applies to all creative works.

I think it would at least be the same as sharing other copyrighted content, whether or not the "hacking" part comes into it.

Breakfast actually made me feel physically ill for a while when I was in my early 20s, so I skipped it out of necessity. I think it had something to do with insomnia. Keeping down half an apple was a struggle. So I basically starting skippi

I have a first.last@gmail.com and get plenty of legitimate promotional emails, one weakly-passworded credit card statement from an Indian bank each month (whose only support is an Indian phone number which I won't call), and occasional

Many must also store them in plaintext as well, or something like it, because the operator has to be able to confirm the spoken password for telebanking.

All that and we still can't use it on 2 phones, or even migrate history between Android/iOS when you change phones.

I had similar issues in Ontraport where if I typed too quickly my cursor would suddenly jump to the start of the textbox. I noticed I had to slow down like a hunt and peck typist and it wouldn't happen. I wonder if it was better for pe

My wife recently had a snap meeting communicated after hours, saying all staff have to be in the office and present at 8:30AM no exceptions. They didn't say why, and this was a small business (~15 people). To anyone who has been workin

I think that is the goal, it's just what we currently have is an AI that's like a naive child who is easily tricked and distracted by clickbait.

My employer just let me take it piecemeal, like any other leave. Looking back that was probably worse for both of us. LSL is a good excuse to improve your bus factor.

Just be careful. When I went to part time I made the mistake of choosing Monday as one of my days off - most public holidays here are Mondays so I missed out.

I'd bet it is, because I did the same (in a 240V country). I knew it wouldn't end well and did it anyway because, I guess, as a kid I was used to the world not letting bad things happen so didn't really believe it would. Ther

One option is to move as you change jobs. But tax law here also makes loss-making investment properties attractive to people, and borrowing against equity is another thing. Interest-only loans (as interest is a deductible investment expense

If you already own a home that appreciated to $800k+ then trading in to buy at $1M doesn't seem as bad. Prices seem silly to me here too (Australia) but a lot of it seems to be a combination of the perception that house prices just alw

Apple is also in the software business. Payment processors aren't. They're a potential competitor with the power to build their own version of your offering after seeing your numbers, and lock you out of the store.

YouTube creators create a new channel for one or two videos or avoid content entirely because they're terrified the algorithm will ruin the good thing they have going if they branch out into a new topic. They do it once and see the hit

Laws will vary worldwide. For the US I believe the DMCA makes circumvention a crime. This was why the DeCSS number was illegal. There may be b2b contracts in addition to what the law says, but I believe the DMCA has an interoperability exce

Only if you are parodying the content used. If you use copyrighted content to parody something else, you aren't protected. Penny Arcade had to pull a comic back in the day when they misunderstood this.

A similar thing happened in games. I'm old enough to remember horse armour in Oblivion. Ridiculous idea but look where we are now. Not only do most microtransactions cost more, they aren't only in free to play games. They're
