http://blog.didenko.com/2013/03/patentless-it.html

Happiness As A Trait. Monday, March 4, 2013. Patent-less information technology / what is your job. It seems that patent systems frustrate more and more people in information technology these days. From what I hear so far mostly patent holders, enforcers, their more aggressive practices, and abuse of intent of law are blamed for the trend. I think there is another side of the story. Here is the foundation of my reasoning:. The first concern is much talked about. The combination of patent being a sell...

HAAT: Cross your "tee"

HAAT: Meta-creation, anyone?

HAAT: On justice in Bhutan

http://blog.didenko.com/2013/08/on-justice-in-bhutan.html

Happiness As A Trait. Monday, August 19, 2013. On justice in Bhutan. We naturally happened to compare crime in Bhutan and Western societies when talking to locals, and then switched to how communities deal with criminals. Apparently in Bhutan courts encourage local, "communal" conflict resolution for non-violent issues. This is more than a judicial attitude nuance. When villagers judge, they are very much considering somebody who is not foreign to them, and with whom they lived and will live for a while&...

HAAT: Compensation components and other terminology

http://blog.didenko.com/2013/01/compensation-components-and-other.html

Happiness As A Trait. Thursday, January 31, 2013. Compensation components and other terminology. The way I think of financial interactions between an enterprise and an employee is relatively simple. It has six components, which come together for a total package, if we put other benefits, like pensions, insurance, tuition, and similar aside for now. But before defining them, let me define three time horizons for the purpose of this discussion:. Specifically on each point:. When bonus becomes routine, ther...

Do not touch on the issue and in fact refer back to that same document which seems to allow censorship. Tags: politics and rights. Subscribe to: Post Comments ( Atom ).
