<p>> Apple was said to be the high priests of user experience<p>People say that, I always wonder how much of that was true.  It took me three days to figure out how to get my iPad Touch to stop repeating a single song.  I don't know how a single song got selected on repeat.</p>

<p>> But the way react deals with state makes it so much easier to build and maintain complex applications.<p>Real question; not being snippy...<p>I didn't think React had any state management included. A lot of people I've spoken to seem to use Redux, a third party library for handling state.<p>Is my understanding incorrect?</p>

<p>Where I live; in northeastern US my assets are taxed.  Personal assets such as my home and car are taxed on a yearly basis.<p>As are business assets, which includes everything from the desk I'm sitting at; the chair I'm sitting on; to the computer I'm using.<p>Disposable supplies, such as paperclips, are not taxed but once a year I have to fill out paperwork--roughly a 10 page document--to pass onto my local government declaring said assets.</p>

<p>> "relating to the company's business"<p>The company I work for also has this.  The company is a big entertainment conglomerate.  I'm unclear what businesses the company is not in; but most of the things I do in my spare time include--songwriting, book publishing, blog writing--could classify as things the company also does.<p>My `exclusion` clause was over 1 page long and I spent quite a bit of money on a lawyer to put it together.</p>

<p>Speaking as a PMC of Apache Flex, but not as a lawyer...<p>> If someone makes a from-scratch implementation of Swift, or any other language with similar features, can Apple then sue them over these patents?<p>Yes, Apple can sue you for making use of their patents w/o a formal license in place!<p>> Or does AL prevent this?<p>No!  The Apache License protects users who use code from the project in question, but does not allow you to use those patents for other purposes.<p>To give a parallel example:<p>I license a photograph of two kids in overalls to put it on a poster and sell it.<p>That does not give me permission to use that image on playing cards, porcelain dolls, or other avenues.<p><a href="https://www.farmanddairy.com/columns/the-story-behind-the-famous-poster/512071.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.farmanddairy.com/columns/the-story-behind-the-fa...</a></p>
