If the company is sold for its assets is the code released to the public? Or removed from escrow and kept private?

"If there were only more hours in the day we could work."
The problem really is:
* Human malware.
* Managers introducing complexity where it shouldn't be.
* People wasting your time on issues that could really have been emails.

The reality is that the Microsoft style of organization is very prominent in the industry.
Here's my experience (n=1):
* Zepbound is better than Wegovy. Wegovy has more side effects than Zepbound. Also the Zepbound pen is better than Wegovy.
* If you're worried about needles, don't be. The injection feels more like a rubber band snapping at the skin. And you'll get used to it.
* I typically have moody days maybe 2 or 3 days after I inject. I attribute that to blood sugar changes.
* Food tastes differently to me now. Food I used to really like can sometimes now just be okay. I don't like french fries so much anymore like I used to (they're good, but not what I remember). The huge bowl of chips I got from the Mexican restaurants don't taste as good anymore. Potatoes aren't really as attractive anymore. I prefer protein.
* I had constipation, which is a side effect. There was a stool softener I took from costco that helped. Eventually that went away.
* I got a bike for exercise. It's nice in that I feel like I actually go places rather than sitting on a Peloton. I also get fresh air. I had to find something I wanted to do, and I hate walking frankly.
* As I lost weight my alcohol tolerance dropped, but it's to be expected but still surprising when one beer hits you harder than it used to.
Maybe some tips:
* Nausea might a be a side effect, more so with Wegovy than Zepbound according to my doctor. So I guess plan to take it easy if you can.
* Your relationship with food will change, so be prepared mentally for that. Food used to make you happy maybe, and now it won't. So figure out what activities and interests that make you happy which don't involve food.
* Sugar is the one thing that can still ruin your progress. So be careful with desserts/candies/sweets/sugared sodas/etc.
* There's some debate about whether diet sodas spike your insulin levels or not. I would recommend going to black coffee to get your caffeine if you haven't already, and black coffee will also help to stimulate your bowels as well. That said, diet sodas are still better than sugared sodas.
Things like transportation, paperwork, storage, and depreciation add up to real numbers.

There are what, 1000 programming languages, but only one SQL? Why?
Or good programmers that see writing raw SQL as a premature optimization.
Someone on here once said that often companies end up reinventing their own ORM once the number of queries they have to maintain get up into the thousands. But they've usually made a really shitty ORM by that point in time.
e.g.
"Could you sue on behalf of the shareholders of your CEO's embezzlement and win? Maybe? Should you? I don't know, I'm not your attorney, and I haven't studied any of your claims."
That's about as worthless as it gets.
My second biggest complaint is that CTRL and ALT keys are the second most important after the SHIFT. But on the laptop I'm typing on, they're super small and placed under the hands, and there's a FN and a WINDOWS button between them on the left hand side, making it hard to hit unless you pull your hand off the keyboard so you can see.
The last complaint is doing super spock pinches for weird macros. CRTL-ALT-SHIFT-Z. The last could be fixed by composing, and not requiring the three keys be pressed down together. The SHIFT letter combinations came from the old typewriters where SHIFT key raised the letters so the upper case keys could be struck. And we've stuck with that for better or worse.
That's because TINA: There is No Alternative.
One might say that if SQL was so great there would be no ORMs -- because there would be no need.
The ORMs, if anything, are a symptom of the larger problem that is SQL.
But we still only have one language for querying a database. And a kinda not very good one at that. Why is that?

One could argue that ORM's are the alternative language people are looking for.
It's one thing if you're taking raw materials and building something of value and reselling it. But I see this turning into record labels creating their own streaming services, much like Peacock+/Apple+/Universal+/etc.
It's not hard to imagine a world where you have to pay $100/year to stream Pink Floyd from the Warner Music catalog.
Also, he's not your monkey.
These articles keep making THC sound as though it's the worse thing imaginable, but in reality, I believe it's probably better than alcohol overall.

Step -4: Get the version of windows and the compiler it was last known to compile with.
The point I have is when looked from 20 years from now, it will be a blip. It's not the great depression, it's not the gas crisis of the 1970's. It's not even as bad as 2008.
Yes it sucks in the moment, but it won't in a few years when wages catch up finally.
One way to think of an economy is GDP/stock market/etc. Another way to think of it is: "What is the maximum level of poverty before there's a revolution?" Moving people from the poverty class to the middle class should be a basic goal for any economy -- because it's likely to affect the most citizens.
> That's not an argument.
So if you're in small town Nebraska in 1910/20/30/40/50/60/70/80/90's, it was super hard to learn calculus (one example) unless you enrolled in college and traveled to the university/college, etc. Why? No one else knew it, nor could they teach it.
Back before 2000's era, people were held back, mostly based upon where they were born. In the internet era, you can be a millionaire/billionaire without having to travel to the shit hole that is silicon valley. Amazing!
Edit:
I saw your edit, and yes, you would expect poverty to go up in a down turn economy. But you would also expect it to go down if economic gains are truly affecting everyone, and not just the rich or upper middle class.
Again, you need to look the number of people in poverty. Is it growing or shrinking? That's the true metric of an economy.
When you get to 50% or more in poverty, that's revolution territory.
Again... you want to look at the number of people in poverty. That's the true metric of an economy, not the unemployment number.
They go back to college, they develop new skills, they do some training, etc, etc.
That's what makes economics hard is that we're dealing with 400M walking talking humans in the US.
If you think deflation is better, ie money in the bank should be worth more over time, just look at what happened to Japan with their deflationary economy. Some call it the "Lost Decade".
