Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
There was a Waymo vs Uber lawsuit awhile back over an employee that stole LIDAR designs from Waymo and brought them to Uber. A friend lawyer explained to me that there wouldn't have been a case if Uber had only stolen the IP, but because Waymo had evidence that the IP was being used by Uber, that's what made the case.
Patents are IP, and those are published for everyone to see. You only get in trouble if you use them.
Well, the files I had copied are no use to anyone really, they were just meant as reference and some personal files.
