I hold an MLIS and have contributed records to WorldCat in the past (I now work outside the library business). I can't speak to any of the copyright technicalities, but I can confirm that the MARC records are generally created and enhanced by the employees of participating institutions. The idea is that if the book has already been accessioned by another member and they've uploaded the record, you can use most or all of their work (descriptive work, subject headings, classification) and get your new acquisitions out on the shelf faster. If something's wrong or missing, you fix it and share it back, along with new records you create. (Non-participating institutions can get canned MARC records from the Library of Congress and other libraries that make their OPACs available over Z39.50, but the quantity and quality on WorldCat are better) I always assumed that the participating institutions are either assigning the copyrights or, more likely, granting OCLC an assignable perpetual license.

Will they have a British accent and end every report with "Ananova dot com"?

I work in a central business district, in the office most days of the week. People being back even 3 days a week, and especially 4 or 5, seems like something you see in big companies, with tech and finance being the strongest sectors - the ones that have deeds or long-term leases for a whole building or several floors of one. Small and medium businesses have been far more likely to either give up the office or downsize it. It's a distinction between being stuck in a long lease and trying to make the most of it versus having a shorter lease that you can eliminate to cut your fixed costs without losing employees.

I think FTX has the corner on the market for crypto perps right now, from SBF on down...

And indeed, that's why the good programmers get paid. We all have our comparative advantages and compete in the marketplace by playing to them.

The lights can be useful in limited ways. A backlight can be nice in the dark, like on a MacBook. My Kinesis keyboard can blink or change colors when you hold down the function key, which can be helpful in knowing it's pressed (I suspect you can set up similar for other modifiers like Control or Command, but haven't really played around with that yet). The more elaborate effects do seem like they would be annoying and distracting for work or focused gaming, though.

We see a reference to a typical lifespan of 70 years, or 80 with good health, in Psalm 90 of the Hebrew Psalter as well. We don't have an exact date for this psalm but it's probably at least as old as Plato.

It's a statement of fact, not policy. They aren't saying that they will stop anyone from supporting software for EOL versions of Windows, but warning users that it sometimes happens in practice so they aren't taken by surprise.

You send all the people being laid off to one theatre, and all the people not being laid off to another. HR can be onsite and it minimizes the stigma of sacking a bunch of people over Zoom.

Because Congress hasn't seen fit to make it one. It is a protected class for employment in some states such as California, though like all protected class designations, it's easier to bring a case when you have been fired than when you were never hired in the first place.

The Ford Five Hundred overlapped slightly with the old Taurus - and was a great car in many ways, though not exactly the same ways as the legacy Taurus. The analogy isnâ(TM)t far off.

Like Ecclesiastical Latin, the slowness or outright lack of change in the language is a feature, not a bug. Old code is still understood as originally intended.

Right-to-work laws also have nothing to do with at-will status, which is the default in most places regardless of whether a right-to-work law (union opt-out) is in place, and can be superseded either by a collective or individual contract specifying other terms for ending employment. The only connection that either one has to non-competes is that in many states (check with your local lawyer), at-will employment is not adequate consideration for a non-compete and/or non-solicit, though it may become such after a certain duration.

I have dysgraphia. When I took college C++ back in...I think it was the spring of 2004, I typed up my exams in Microsoft Word, or maybe it was WordPad, at the university testing center, as I did with all of my other exams. This was by arrangement with the disability services office pursuant to directions from my physician.
