I was able to read the article without logging in

Check your employment contract. If that includes an NDA or a confidentiality agreement, the company may own your design as well as any code produced. Writing the program from scratch a second time may still end up being company property.

Given that they didn't put your program into production, it's unlikely they would pursue you legally for releasing a new version on your own.

Every significant organisation, government, big company probably had done something terrible at some point.

Yup, which is why it's basically impossible to be an ethical consumer these days. "The Good Place" did a really entertaining exploration of this idea.

While this is an interesting read, this doesn't appear to be the case:

Every .io domain you buy funds a government committing crimes against humanity.

The .io TLD wikipedia article claims that it has always been operated by private entities and no revenue is shared with the United Kingdom

How long until YT is totally paywalled?

Probably never. I doubt they could offset ad revenue with subscription fees.

I wonder where they will stop?

probably the ground

It's unclear what any of the images have to do with the article.

I assume the replicator still requires raw materials. Rare metals are likely still rare in the future

I've been a vim user for over a decade and I doubt I've spent eight hours configuring it in all that time.

We had a cat growing up who would chase the neighborhood fox around. They were friends I guess

I think using mods disables achievements for cyberpunk, so that could bias the numbers. I don't know how many people are actually using mods though.

I was curious about their office in France and found the Google listing is full of tech support questions.

Many years ago, I had forgotten my password to the Sprint websiteb so I could log in and pay my cellular bill. I had to call customer support to resolve this. After verifying my activity, the support agent read me my existing password one letter at a time. While this was alarming, I was amused she had to spell out a somewhat obscene phrase for me. This was maybe 20 years ago and I no longer use Sprint.

Wasn't that the whole point of the creation of Alphabet? That they'd have different business units with their own products?

I think you meant "best part"

I've been playing IdleOn for a few months now, but since I've been traveling for the last week I've been using my phone instead of the computer. The UI could be more finger-friendly, but it's handy to be able to do some of the daily stuff without too much trouble

Biggest raise was about 12%, when I got bumped up to senior a few years back. Currently searching for a new gig so I'm hoping for a nice bump

There's one dialogue in the Githyanki creche where your entire party is instantly killed if you choose the "wrong" option. There's nothing to indicate that the choice will lead to that outcome. I'm not aware of any other dialogues like that, however.

Does the existing engine phone home or is that something they're adding?

What don't you like about medium?
