  1. Re:But y tho? on Apple is Rebuilding Maps From the Ground Up (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I doubt Apple will ever get Maps to the quality as Google Maps is
    Google Maps is utter shit.
    Especially when it comes to public transport ...
    Just to many clicks and stupid UI and in the end half of the information is wrong.

    On the App, google maps does not even include a scale.
    So you can not judge as a pedestrian how far stuff is away, you have to plot a route, ha ha ha!

    Both Google and Apple have interesting spots wrong. It simply is a no go if a "Starbucks" is 300 or 400 yards off position (in Paris the rule, and in Frankfurt, too)

    Of course the interest of my partner and me and our employer does align.
    You simply assume that there are conflicts were there are none.

    There is also the appearance of impropriety, which continues to exist even when you and your partner behave in an otherwise professional manner.
    Strange that most countries workers see that different.

    This "conflict of interest thing" seems to be an anglo saxon thing. As I said in other answers: it is pretty common that people meet at work and marry, about 30% of the German couples meet at work. It is pretty common that married couples work in the same organization and even close to each other. Prime example: schools where both are teachers, hospitals where one is a doctor and one a nurser.

    That appearance alone can be destructive to a team and to reputations. If it is abused. And if it is abused it is prosecuted anyway.

    A typical retard answer.

  7. Many steel plants already use induction furnaces for for melt processes, but the addition of coke to remove impurities is a required part of the process. Using induction heating with a much smaller carbon injection reduces the footprint from steel production,
    That is complete nonsense.

    Either you make steel from ore, then you need coke.
    Or you recycle already made steel, then you don't need coke.

    There is no middle ground.

    The Pars agreement was nothing more than a attempt to grab money from developed countries, while forcing them to hobble their economies at the same time.
    And how exactly would that be? The treaty (which is not binding in the US) forces the US to build solar plants for China in China? Hu? Are you really that retarded?

    that the moral rights belong to someone other than the natural person who created the work
    You mix up copyright with moral rights.
    The moral rights _always_ stay with the creator.

    Again: you miss the point which I pointed out now several times: it is a question of your contract, not a question of law. Your contract can define that your work outside of your working hours fall under copyright of your employer (you retain moral rights). However if he wants to claim it, he has to compensate you for the work hours and/or expected profit.

    I did not read your links yet (as I don't speak spanish, and reading is a bit tough but I will manage): in Germany the law is, unions and commerce agree on contracts, which are binding. No change to law necessary. In other words: the law already says "if you agree to something, stick to it", no one is going to make a law after such an agreement. How should that work anyway? Laws are made by the parliament, how do you want to force it to make a law they don't like but is a mirror of an agreement between a union and an center of commerce?

    Union and center of commerce contracts are not converted into law, why would they?
    A contract between a union and part of the industries is enough.

    a personal project is clearly not work for hire
    But the employer reserves the right to convert it into a project for hire and has the rights to use it if he compensates you accordingly AND if it is written in your work contract. You probably missed that part of my argument.
