- Am I a customer when I go into the shop?

- How about if I don't buy anything this time?

- When I receive a marketing email from the shop, based on my previous purchases, am I still a customer?

- How about 1 year later and I haven't bought anything, am I still a customer?

So when can I park there?

(obviously in the real world, there would be terms and conditions, but it's an interesting way to talk to clients about definitions in their data)

  <input id="i">
  <button onclick="l.textContent='Now do '+i.value">Do This</button>
  <button onclick="l.textContent='Do nothing'">Do Nothing</button>
  <label id="l"></label>

And I ended up here: https://www.masswerk.at/keypunch/ - virtual keypunch machine.

It seems that commands are sent as 11 bit values, 50 per second, and the command to send the "Ignition Off" value is any value over a set threshold.

From the doc: "A such, a single bit error would be sufficient to modify the 'Ignition ON' signal value so that it exceeded the 'Ignition OFF' threshold."

(This has now been fixed by the manufacturer so that there must be 10 consecutive Ignition OFF commands)

This exactly

From this: https://www.russell-cooke.co.uk/insight/briefings/2020/intel...

"The general position under English law is that IP rights created by an employee within the course of employment automatically belong to the employer; where there is any doubt as to whether an employee or their employer owns IP rights, the relevant legislation largely favours employers."

"If material which includes IP rights is created outside office hours and/or using the employee’s private resources this may give rise to arguments that the rights belong to the employee rather than their employer, but that is not decisive. The fact that work is done outside normal working hours does not necessarily mean that the work is not done in the course of employment as, for many employees, there is often no clear demarcation of the hours of work."

"The key question to be asked is whether the work was the kind of work which the employee was employed to do i.e. whether it was within the scope of their employment. Could the employee have been ordered to do the work and would it have been a breach of contract for the employee to not do it? The terms of any contract of employment and job description will be relevant, however, these (and duties more generally) often evolve in the course of time and it may therefore not be appropriate to rely on them exclusively."

IANAL, but my reading of that is that if I wrote a novel about unicorns and rainbows, that wouldn't be owned by the company, but if I wrote software, it would.

The email had some vlaid account fogbugz account details, so it's at least coming from their database...

The interview went well, the coding test was good. Finally, I were just chatting with the CEO, and he asked "So you're ok with spending 2 years on site in Kazakhstan?"

Needless to say we both agreed that it was a wasted interview and that the recruitment agency should have mentioned the Kazakstan bit...

It was something like "when a link starts getting multiple posts on hacker news that's when we know we've hit on something..."

I'd not heard about hacker news until that point. I was probably hanging around codeproject.com. Since then I lurk almost daily, and am always amazed by the breadth and depth of articles and commments, both tech and non tech.

Reduced need to actually own a car, and fewer cars on the road (or parked) as empty car capacity can be fully utilised. Of course the lifespan of an individual vehicle will be reduced.
