    Under copyright law: for profit and not for profit are no difference at all.
    No idea where you got that retarded idea from.

    If I'm the author of a piece of work and hate it being transalted into Klingon or Elvish then be ready for a fight if you do translate it. Why you for funk sake think it would not matter under the law if you do so and distribute MY WORK in a translated form, is beyond me.

    It is not fair use.
    How stupid are you? Hint: read the law. It states what fair use is and what a derived work is.
    It is clearly a derived work, your translation/subtitle would not an could not edist without the original work: it is clearly a derived work.
    Or did you work hard on a subtitle for an imaginary movie, waking up in the morning with the subtitles in your hand, realizing that in the same night, by accident, someone made the movie you accidentally happen to have the subtitles for?

  7. Re:Fighting words on CC'ing the Boss on Email Makes Employees Feel Less Trusted, Study Finds (hbr.org) · · Score: 1

    It would make more sense to mail the boss in such cases, or reply to your coworker and add the boss to the list of recipients, and adress him/her directly with two or threesentences and the question how to proceede.

    In teams where I have a leading role, all mails where I am on CC only, get filtered into a seperate mail folder. The chance that I ever read them is basically zero.

    I go over such mails, before a meeting, to catch up what went on last days/weeks.

  9. Re:So... on How the Six-Hour Workday Actually Saves Money (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm all for less time at work but saying that days could be shorter and then assuming 100% output is foolish.
    Actually it is not.
    There is a reason why shifts on ships are 4h and not 8h since centuries.
    I rarely meet a software developer that can focus more than 3 or 4 hours a day. The rest of their 'shift' they do nothing any way, or worse: produce bugs, spoil the repository with faulty commits, or spoil requirements with stupid comments because they are to tired/exhausted to comprehend them.
    A normal human being is not made to perform 8h at top notch mental capabilities. You need special training for that, like martial arts, yoga or meditation. (that includes pilot training or military training, where people know how to get tired/unatending personnel back to awareness)

    If I give away my own ROMs to archive.org, and they make sure only one person at the time is using it, they are basically on safe ground.

    The right to load a program into a computer ... cough cough ... emulator ... remains to the owner of the software, which is in this case archive.org.

    That it is displayed via the internet is of no consequences at all.

    Google is your friend.
    Even google has a self driving car since roughly a decade ... just to mention it :)

    In Karlsruhe we have self driving cars from every majour brand since minimum 10 years ... cycling around, under supervision of course.

    I live in Karlsruhe ... and I worked for Continental, as test engineer for the cameras used in driver assisting cars. Continental is one of the mayjour manufacters of equipment for self driving cars and assisting systems. (Yes, that is the company that is mostly known for its tires)

  21. The product owner is not needed for Sprint Planning. However in Scrum he is usually present.

    The product owner is not a business user, not even in the remotest sense. Well. there might be exceptions. A business user evolving into a product owner or product manager.

    In my experience, when people ask why a Product Owner should attend sprint planning meetings, it's because they're not doing agile, they're pretending to.
    This 'question' has nothing to do with agile or not.
    The question is: does the team need the PO for clarifications during sprint planning? If that is case, then obviously the back log items are not clear enough (acceptance criteria etc.)

    Most sprint plannings I joined the PO was happy smiling/grinning in the corner ;)

    Because they want their own ones instead of buying the technology from Germany and Japan.

    On the other hand a good deal of their equipment might be bought in ... no idea.
