In the real real world, where IT has some autonomy, HR hands CVs to those who are qualified to vet them. That's why I was given them when I was in charge of recruiting developers at a previous company and it was my decision to round file or not. In my current company, HR hands CVs to the team leads to scrutinise.
If / when it came to interviews, seeing as it was for a technical position, technical people took the lead as they were most qualified to judge a candidate's ability to do the job they've applied for, with HR taking a back seat until the "soft skills" part.
I guess I'd have been round filed then for the audacity to not be found on Google, nor have a Facebook account nor a LinkedIn profile. There aren't any pictures of me online either.
Then again, if HR is reading my CV and judging instead of someone who knows what the technical terms contained within actually mean then I wouldn't want to work there anyway.
And yet there's BOINC projects with the numbers of those who contribute growing daily. If TPB stated they were part of a protein folding project with the aim of curing cancer no one would have a problem with maxed out CPU. I'd prefer they did that, but mining helps pay their bills, the alternative being compromised ad servers getting your system backdoored harder than the entirety of the anal sluts category on xhamster.
If the template is "when you think a question is a duplicate, don't bother checking, just mark it and move on to the next. Don't link to the duplicate, the loser noob should have found it themselves" or "Don't answer a simple question if you can just respond with derision of the language (programming or textual, doesn't matter, but bonus points for both)" or "downvoting to oblivion an answer that, whilst correct, you don't agree with, either by tone, implementation or just because it's Wednesday and you're annoyed about something" then that's not a good base to establish learned behaviour from.
Encouraging such dismissive behaviour purporting as a set of rules and "the way things are done" (a fallacy of a societal norm) to those on the spectrum who are unaware it isn't doesn't help them cope and is more likely to be deleterious to them in the real world.
ISTR on an old Android phone that it had three states on an icon when you wanted to turn something off: the on state, a greyed out "lost connectivity" state and disabled line-through-it state when it was off. I don't think it was lying but I never cared enough to check and assumed off meant off.
Which is also why I bought a Rio Karma instead of an iPod (besides being able to play FLACs). Off was off, not some nebulous "low power just in case you want to turn it on again" state that just drained your battery overnight if you didn't put it on charge.
At night, in a panicked crowd with bright lights dazzling the vision and no clear target or even indication of where the target vaguely is? Yeah, right. They're all Martin Riggs style superhumans. Do me a lemon.
I presume you mean responses from those with a low UID. This very question has been asked in the past and one of the reasons was similar to what IHateFatCashews wrote. Even before I decided to finally create an account and ending up with a pathetic late-to-the-party 6 digit UID, there'd been a mass exodus. It happens with an almost predictable frequency, like solar minima.
Not all have travelled beyond the Rim. Many remain.
Haven't seen the CYA clause, mainly because it is meaningless fluff that is the law anyway, but other than that, yes, an illegal clause is non-binding and should be removed so what you sign has everything you agree to and nothing you don't. If a dodgy clause cannot be removed for whatever stupid reason (which is also illegal) the *entire contract* is rendered null and void.
There are plenty of judgements in favour of the employee about this. That there are so many just shows employers trying to pull a fast one, presumably from the American "you're lucky to be offered a job, lowly peon" attitude this thread is about that has found its way across the pond.
This was always the case, hence them not being called "browsers" but "user agents" in W3C speak. Going by your UID you surely remember being able to use gopher and wais as protocols in the URI box. You still can with other protocols, it isn't just about http(s), something that was either never known by some or was forgotten by others.
By admitting to this, charges can be brought by UK under EU regulations for storing those details. Never mind the class action lawsuit wanting billions in reparation, now those with the power to levy their own fines and decide how large they can be can tear Equifax a new one so wide it can be used as an alternative to the Channel Tunnel.
The constant "serve as an example" bullshit needs to stop as it doesn't to those who most need the object lesson. Maybe the judge is trying a "pour encourager les autres" approach but forgets that the phrase came about when an admiral was executed. In this instance a midshipman was executed and the admirals couldn't care less.
The closest location "nailed down" for me is 12 miles away. That's because that's ostensibly where the node is, but then then there's even an argument about that as it is three different places according to various databases.
Well, if we can't get them under the Consumer Protection Act, we'll get them under the Data Protection Act (or its successor, coming soon) because they'll be in breach of that as well.

That might be an informative comment, but as the filing is in Germany, it is ultimately irrelevant what some court in Delaware decided 36 years ago.

I can go to a library to read a book. Costs nothing.
That's why I only eat vegan's brains, even though it's like eating Quorn in place of real meat.
An alternative is:
If the human brain was simple enough for us to understand, we'd be so simple we couldn't.

Fixed the headline for you.

Really?
I've not found line breaks a problem here.
Ever.

Not when it is exactly the same product, no.
He's Polish. Poland is in Europe. You can't patent software in Europe. You also can't patent it elsewhere if it is already public domain.
"there's so many things that Microsoft does better on Android and Iphone that just don't work on Windows Mobile 10"
Doesn't seem like a ringing endorsement to me. If anything, it's the exact opposite of what you accuse filesiteguy of.

Non-binding in EU countries. Thanks for playing, though.
