Depends on how market will act in that regard. If it's profitable to pick up at exact location then if Uber tries to optimize by sending you to a pickup location then someone else will jump in to provide the more luxurious option. It&#

Just to reduce generalization, while I was at Microsoft we never had to do any of these psychology things. From day 1 to the last day all I had to do was work and maybe once complete a compliance and security 1 hour course.

So are you wasting your existing time available for a chance at extending your life to do what? Work even more to extend even more? This dilemma always reminds me of Dunbar from Catch 22 https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/

Depends on what you signed in your employment contract. Microsoft et al clearly state that they own that code. What I dont get is why is it a problem at all if it's open source. Just give it to them with the name changed (you keep the

No, that is not ok. You cannot take a name from a thousand year philosophy and change it's meaning to suot your needs but keep the name for marketing purposes. Just call it a different name then and don't mention the other thing

I remember first reading about this in a magazine 10-15 years ago. It's not about whether this makes sense. They need this to happen because they (Google, Amazon, everyone) want to offer pc-as-a-service. Every tech purchase you make
