I've heard this phrase before and it's stuck with me. I'm considering developing email related tools (NLP, auto-writing) related. I'm wondering if there deeper context or wisdom be…

I have experience working in a FANG and multiple other tech companies. In a deep sense, I believe I understand the role of most positions, from the C-level down to junior employees…

So, to what degree, if any, am I allowed to use data that is leaked or stolen? Obviously, it's wrong to sell stolen information or exploit it to harm other people. It's also wrong …
