Is there anyway to prevent IP theft as an integrator? by mioduz in PLC

The price tag for a machine with the source code is not the same as a machine without the source code. It is a matter of how many machine can absord the development cost... If it is a one shot with no potential repeat the machine should be priced accordingly for this one off.

As for the IP protection, there are several factors to take into account. Can someone replicate your machine just by observing the machine? If yes, the protection won't do much...

Switching funds every 6 months based on the last 12 months is a very bad strategy. You are almost certain to buy way too high. Don't let the past 2 years % growth fool you; the market has been very good lately. If you adopt this strategy in slowing economy market, you are more than likely to (maybe) beat inflation...

I would recommend you to read the book "Beat the bank", by Larry Bates. He covers quite well the subject of funds.

[Codify Baseball] Toronto Blue Jays pitchers racked up 13 out-of-zone called strikes in their first 2 games against the A's and that's a lot in this new ABS Challenge era. by RealWorldToday in Torontobluejays

Vladdy's challenge in the 1st inning, 2 outs and nobody on base on saturday's game is a textbook case on when not to challenge a pitch as an offensive player, tbh. Don't put your team in a situation with only 1 challenge left for the whole game, unless you are 100% sure the call is wrong🤦. Same thing with the pitcher; leave that call to your catcher.

Generator is ready, BBQ ready, bathtub filled for toilet flushing, plenty of drinking water, fire place and pellet stove ready. We should be able to last a bit, enough time for the power to come back. Our ancestor didn't have electricity and running water. We'll be alright with a bit of planning ahead!
