I have always been in charge of adversity and if things worked right, my phone would never ring, so I try to see problems down the road and do my best to avoid them. |

I am programmed pretty much the same way except rather than avoid them, I attempt to solve them. Drives my wife nuts though. |

I always try to fix problems, even when they are not really my responsibility but it is easier to for see the problem if you can. At least you might have the part ;-) BTW CEs are famous for being cynical When I was writing my real big program, I asked one of the old guys why CEs didn't trust computers. He said it was because we never saw one that was working right. |

Elon musk has 3 operations, and this will make the 4th, all subsidized by the government. He is like Edison, in most of Edison patents were done by someone working for him. SpaceX interviews prospective engineers and rips off the design they are asked to do. Part of the interview process is signing away anything shown in the interview. |

SpaceX interviews prospective engineers and rips off the design they are asked to do. Part of the interview process is signing away anything shown in the interview. I've was involved in giving deposition in a lawsuit for something like this although it didn't involve anything disclosed during an interview for a job. A company can legally claim rights to anything designed or developed by an employee while they are employed by the company and if the subject item is part of the company's business area or products. If an employee developed something *before* they became employed, he retains the rights to it (if patented) or it becomes a negotiated issue. "Prior knowledge" or something like that. Usually something developed that becomes patented lists the individual employee or employees responsible for it's design as the "inventor" but the rights to it are assigned to the company. It was a while ago though and I've forgotten all the details. |

Yes, the name of the inventors, including some who were just in the building are on the patent, and the patent is assigned to the employer. SpaceX gets a release from someone interviewing to use anything "invented" during the interview. Very shady! |

If I invented a better toilet plunger when I worked for them, IBM still would have owned the rights to it. The only way around that was to get a prior waiver and that probably would have come with the "suggestion" that you seek your fortune elsewhere. They really wanted you inventing for them. I do think the biggest thing Edison invented was the intellectual property agreement. That allowed him to set up 2 invention factories., There is the one everyone knows about in Menlo Park but he also had a similar operation in Ft Myers The bamboo in my back yard is from Edison's light bulb experiments. He contracted the Koreshans to grow many strains of bamboo because that was one of his ideas for a filament. It is everywhere around here now. Fortunately these are not the invasive strains that take over the countryside. |
