  • Disclaimer: I don’t know, and I have no particular k owledge in this field, I’m only reasoning here…

    I think those four directions are natural to use regardless of culture, based on our senses and bodies. There are things you can see, and things you can’t, namely in front of you and behind you. And your references to the sides would naturally be your hands, where most people can distinguish right as dominant. These would serve as simple reference points in terms of directions, so the question is, if your bodies were different, for example asymetric, would our directions also be?

    Imagine of we had four ears, two forward and two back, could that result in eight basic directions? What would it take for us to have three?



  • You can. But the prefilled one implies they’re already OK with the terms. Adding/changing stuff requires their approval. If both parties agree to the altered version, then there’s no problem.

    I doubt they’ll allow a special case just for you, though.

    I have returned additions/corrections to employment contracts and had them accepted. My usually go to is to change the overly broad “we own all IPRs developed by you” to “we own all IPRs that come from work related tasks or as a direct furtherance thereof”. If they want to own anything I developed outside work for my own projects then that’s fine, but then they’d have to pay extra.





  • Not working on anything particular, but I’m going on a road trip on Tuesday to this regional airport that is giving away two racks perfect for my use case. Deep enough for my larger machines, sound proofed and 42U tall.

    Finally my hardware can have a proper rack instead of being in a stack/pile in this harrypotteresque locker under my stairs.







  • I’m having a hard time imagining that the end-result would be anything other than a watered down copy that has been focus tested to fail completely at hilighting the societal differences between the people upstairs and downstairs.

    I bet the first half would be overly goofy, and the second half more akin to slapstick. I have not a shred of belief that they’ll be able to capture tiny details such as the head of the house literally stepping over someone bleeding out (or was she already dead?) to focus on his son.
