Calling it "Google Pik" implies that it's an official Google project, but the page explicitly says it is not. The post title should be changed to remove Google to avoid confusion.

For most large diversified corporations, the corporation will own all of it, because it will "Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer;" Note that it's com…
> By numbers, employees lose the vast majority of lawsuits under 2870 in california. Do you happen to know if this is because only very strong cases materialize?
Most employers have no desire to sue employees, so most of these settle or get ignored, AFAIK.
At least in the case of Google (literally, i have no concept of other Alphabet companies), the only cases i'm aware of where Google has claimed it owned something was when the employee sued Google first.
example: A former employee suing Google over a patent developed while employed by Google, google counterclaims it owns that patent under the IP agreement.
> New lossy image format gives 55 % less bytes than jpeg with the same butteraugli score. It's the most serious attempt to date to make an open source replacement for JPEG which misses a lot of advances in data/image compression. I hope it stops the spreading of HEIF plagued by patents.

It’s unsupported on the browser that holds 43% of desktop marketshare in central Europe, how is that not a failure?
That doesn't make it a failure.
On the server side, if you're processing images to create multiple versions anyway (thumbnails, different sizes for mobile & desktop, etc.), throwing WebP versions in there is simple enough and should reduce bandwidth use. It's not worth doing if you're not fully automating image handling for other reasons.
Good thing Denmark is a small market as it means Dick in Danish.

Pet projects done with googles time and resources can't easily be published elsewhere on github...
Unfortunate name if you happen to know Dutch.
For what it's worth, my girlfriend and I laugh out loud whenever we drive past the Fagotstreet nearby. Most names are poorly chosen by this standard, given the diversity of existing languages.

There is also a Minge Lane I used to drive past each day in a previous job. Always gave me a chuckle, being a Brit.
