CBS's "60 Minutes": Quantum Computing

If you’d like to understand why IBM is so bullish on quantum computing — and so focused on quantum-safe cryptography — this “60 Minutes” story is well worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4ssT6Dzmnw — Timothy Sipples Senior Architect Digital Assets, Industry Solutions, and

You are a person.  People have rights, objects do not.    The company can require that you assign them the rights to any invention created using the things they paid for - computers, software, offices, books.   Training/experience is more of a gray area in my mind. Note that software used to

Funny how the industry's most associated with “intellectual property” and residuals are some of the least intellectual. IT workers should have unionized 50 years ago and could have gotten a “piece of a very large pie”. Deservedly so. It would have included engineers, computer scientists,

Correcting an error or writing an enhancement *does* generate revenue, directly or indirectly, by helping to acquire or retain users. Asking for a piece of the pie is always reasonable, as is refusing the request. It's a matter of finding terms that both sides can agree on. In practice I

Hi Kurt, Thank you. That is exactly the answer I needed. We installed 2.4 with a ServerPac and as I am just starting down the implementation path of zOSMF, my manager asked me to find out if we should try to get the 3.1 zOSMF stand-alone and install that first. Your response confirmed that

Hi all, Just looking for opinions on this. Scenario is we're running z/OS 2.4. We don't have zOSMF installed. Sometime next year we're going to migrate to 3.1. Would we be better off installing/implementing zOSMF 2.4 today in preparation for installing 3.1 or should we install zOSMF 3.1

I think this is a bad analogy.   The guy who installs or fixes an item that does not actually generate revenue certainly can ask for residuals - but there aren't any since there is no income from it. However, if residuals is a thing (which it is in some industries) then asking for a piece of
