You want to get a Phd? you have to publish something... anything.
You want money for experiments? You need publications even if you do the rest of the theoretical work on your own.
You want to get funds for some new or to continue some research? You need publications.
I'm not defending those that publish all sorts of crap as research but the whole system is rigged.
Everyone is asking for as many publications and citations as possible to even lend you a lab for 1 day to test something.
Excuse my language but what the f are you expecting?
Edit: formatting
EDIT: I do find it impossible for him to spend 0 on it though. You have to travel from A to B (at the very least)
EDIT: added STM.
- that we are first
- oxygen is needed for all life forms
- the habitable zone that is ideal for us the only one that can give birth to intelligent life
- magnetic field is needed for life to exist/radiation kills off all life
Dave can test his stuff on a newly bought domain for testing or the internal domains.
In practice(as a bare minimum):
- you need to patch the firmware for the new display
- patch out the radio
- ? patch battery capacity or re-init
Not sure how much of the patching part is possible atm.
EDIT: I know it's about IaSS.
It's hard to get a software keylooger installed on a corp. machine. It's easy to get physical access to the office or even their homes and install keyloggers all over the place and download the data via BT.
If you write code (any unrelated code) during work hours - it's done on their time, they paid you for it, they own it.
If you write code(work related) even outside working hours - They own it. At best you might get some money for your overtime and such.
if you write (urelated) code on their laptops on test it on their infra outside work hours - gray area, can go either way. most likely a settlement and they get the code.
if you write unrelated code and test it with you own resources - depends on the lawyers but, in most places, it's yours to keep. If the CEO suite or senior management see value in it. Be ready to to defend it.
I did have this exact discussion when I started with a global 500 corp as I do write code for various things when needed and also write small apps for extra £. The above pretty much sums up the discussion with the UK lawyer. It's not my job to write code but I do to make my life easier. I also document it for handover if I decide to leave.
EDIT: a few typos and the below
The lawyer's advice was, if I write anything unrelated that I want to keep - publish/sell in my wife's name.
if you want to unserstand how and why certain websites rank and all that sort of stuff just lurk on black hat SEO forums and see how they game system. I don't recomment their services but it's worth reading about the things they take into account. From keywords, density, headings all the way to domain age and server location.
