There are still some obstacles. In US law, decompilation of a binary is a derivative work of the binary that falls under whatever copyright it had. However, it is also settled law that if you decompile binary code to a precise specification of what it does, then generate fresh code from that without looking at the decompiled stuff, you’re in the clear. This was the case law that allowed PC clones to exist, after Phoenix Technologies reverse engineered the original IBM PC BIOS.

FedEx believes $300m electric truck spend will save them $800m in diesel.

You think it’s the player, but it’s often the wife, the girlfriend, the wife and girlfriend, the father, the cousin, the AAU coach, the friend, the half-brother, the half-sister, the half-stepbrother. And you take on what I call “the herd.” Being an agent is a tough life because you’re not just beholden to the client. You’re beholden to all these people that are around him and want you to answer the questions. And many times I had to be the “no” guy. Usually, it’s about money. But sometimes about other things. And that’s what the client is paying you to do. So I learned working at the foot of David Falk, the NBA superagent with Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, all these great clients. And that was a learning experience for me. And I learned I’ve got to be my own person. I can’t do the style of David who was a very relentless negotiator and used the leverage of Michael in ways that I could never do. I don’t have the ego for that. But I learned what not to do and also what to do. Sort of the beginning of my career as an agent, I was very blessed to be around superstars in that world.

In 1959, Olympus launched the small, affordable PEN. This remains their most significant project, and a big undertaking for a company that only had dipped their toes into Japan’s fledgling camera industry in recent decades. Designed by Yoshihisa Maitani, this half-frame compact camera would be revolutionary, not only as it was the first in the company’s history to shoot such a small format, but also because of its unrivaled popularity. Due to the high price of film in Japan at the time, a half-frame camera was the perfect solution to keep photography affordable. This vertical imaging format allowed for 48 images to be taken on a standard roll of 24-exposure film, and 72 images to be taken on a 36-exposure roll. For Maitani, this was ideal as he had blown his allocated budget entirely on the D-Zuiko 28mm f/3.5 lens, feeling that optics were the priority.
