You can make the exact same argument about “species”

There's a clear line in this case: A species is a group of any living beings that can produce fertile offspring.

Donkeys and Horses are separate species because they breed and produce Mules which cannot reproduce.

Also, I don't see why you couldn't patent this if you wanted to monetize it.

We all just saw the prior art published for the public. That will preclude patenting this work. Further reduction to practice is required.

(I am not a lawyer).

There are so many typos in here it makes it difficult to focus on the content. Is this a deliberate signal that the article was human written?

I learned a lot regardless and I'm adding this to my blogroll.

This was the original use case of bitcoin's Proof of Work system. Initally it was to impose a (nominal) fee on senders of email by mail clients.

If you didn't submit a proof of work of N or greater difficulty the email would be thrown out.

Are people entitled to severance in the USA?

I thought severance packages generally come with some considerations about indemnifying the company and such. Its a deal, not an entitlement.

Forcing an employee to resign is a "Constructive Dismissal" and there's plenty of case law around it.

The parent commenter probably meant: There's no Marxian left wing composed of serious people in the US.
