They totally can be. There's plenty of case law on it. Source: I'm a 3L about to graduate with an IP specialization and got an award for being the best student in my trade secret law class.

Sure. Broadly, a trade secret under state and federal law is "information that derives independent economic value from not being generally known to the public or people who can obtain economic value from it and is the subject of effort

Ok but why would he just “give” them? Patents can cost like $20k a pop to prosecute.

You should request your data from CoreLogic and see if the wrong location is in their DB, because they’re the broker for a lot of real estate underwriting data.

Idk if it’s true but supposedly in the the Telarc recording, the cannon fire went down to like 7Hz and would blow out your speakers if the signal wasn’t filtered.

Yeah. Anyone building a bunker just for themselves and a few other people is planning for a very boring and lonely future that will exist only so long as they can access/produce sufficient food and water. It should basically go without

Broncolor is “buy once, cry once, then cry again when you need an attachment, and also cry when you need to replace a bulb.”

Is this different in some way from the still photo world where you have like Broncolor that’s unreasonably expensive and no one can explain why?

I'm not the least bit ashamed to say that I can't grok CSS today any better than I could when I first tried to learn it about 20 years ago. Whether or not alternative abstractions are "bad" or "wrong" or whatev

You continue to miss the point. The term “non-profit” in no way describes this structure.

No it’s not. It’s just a corporation with one kind of tax status owning another corporation with a different tax status.

Nonprofit is a tax status, not a corporate structure.

Asking the LLM if the query can be optimized a few times and then checking it in a planner works surprisingly well for me but YMMV.

Combining schema discovery and data catalog seems like it might be a hard problem requiring a lot of LLM prompt engineering gymnastics but maybe I underestimate the state of the art.

Maybe this is a dumb question but why wouldn’t it be cost effective to pre-aggregate counts occasionally and sample on the fly?

These kinds of experiences are so meaningful. In college I was in the so called “gay-straight alliance” and we did an exercise where the straight people had to wear a t-shirt all day that just said “I’M GAY” and we weren’t allowed to deny i

Best web scraping guy I ever met (the type you hire when no one else can figure out how) was a Perl expert. I don’t know Perl so I don’t know why, but this is very real.
