Yet you claim to be a "W-2 employee". So either you've worked at the same place since before 1986, your trolling, or your employer is violating federal law. Seriously, you don't know what an I-9 is? E-verify? Are you from the 19th century?
Not 1099, the I-9. Page 9 lists the documents that "Establish Identity and Employment Authorization". Items like a passport, school ID with a photograph, voters registration card, Social Security Card, birth certificate, etc. Your recollection is pretty bad, your just trolling, OR all your employers are in direct violation of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986:
The Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA)
Pub. L. 99-603, 100 Stat. 359
Prohibits employers from knowingly hiring unauthorized aliens and hiring individuals without completing the employment eligibility verification process. This Act led to creation of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. All employers must use Form I-9 for all employees hired on or after Nov. 6, 1986, who are working in the United States. This Act also established prohibitions against national origin and citizenship or immigration status discrimination with respect to hiring, firing and recruitment or referral for a fee.
We've been binging B5 right now...on Season 5, episode 11. B5 is one of the best scifi shows ever. It was never afraid to show war, death, pain...and yet had many themes of hope and good triumphing over evil. It made a stark contrast between spirituality vs religions, and showed that nothing is pure good or evil.

That's only 3% of their workforce. My last publicly traded corp I worked at is laying off 30,000-60,000 employees, or 20-30%. THAT is a true "bloodletting". That's not even taking into account the upcoming spin-off/merger with CSC.
As for #1, everyone with half a brain KNEW the FBI would find nothing on that phone. They destroyed their other, personal phones. Why go through that much effort and then leave another device with info on it? I knew the whole time the FBI would find nothing. My bet is that they knew that too, and where just using this as theater to push the public's opinion against encryption. Luckily for the public it mostly backfired.
Perhaps they'll go back to the old-school original Doctor Who and Star Trek: TOS style and have hidden stage hands opening and closing the "automatic" doors.
" going into a gun store and telling the clerk that you're going to use the gun for a mass shooting" back in college, a friend and myself actually said that. The guy asked us what we were thinking of doing (probably wondering what animal we planned to hunt), and he straight-manned "oh, shoot into crowds." Didn't even phase the guy. But this in Oklahoma, at a pawn shop so....
My submitted resume doesn't have my age on it. My name IRL is very common, I don't show up until 5-6 pages of Google searches. There was no actual interview. Just an email from a unrepliable address, and then I found the H1B LCA on the DOL site. This is from a huge company with the word "American" in it too, which makes it even more ironic.
"Backups are intended to recover from catastrophic failures, not mere accidental deletion of messages" HAHAHAHAHA. That might be the original intention, but end users send in tickets every day in all major corps requesting recovery. "I deleted a sheet in our marketing spreadsheet" "I 'optimized' our HR access file, and now half the data is missing" "Word recovered a file and I saved it immediately but it was from last week so..."...I could go on forever, on average it's a request per week per 25 end users.
That should make their job easier. Having a list of known vulnerabilities is a decent start. Hopefully their not just going to run Retina, print out a report, and call it done.
And saying "well, just go vertical" fails Moore's law as well. "Square inch" is two dimensional. He didn't say cubed inch. Being an engineer, I'm pretty sure he knew the difference between the two. Not that you said "go vertical", but many other posters here are.
Our government doesn't even enforce our current laws on H1B, what good would new ones do? A few months ago I got a "form letter" denial for a support job I applied for, didn't even get an interview. I had worked with this team for about three years, I knew their applications, escalation lists, support teams, ticketing system; in some ways I probably was more qualified than some of their current staff members. I was told by their management that they had zero actual control over HR's initial acceptance / cut system as all of the HR people are in another state thousands of miles away; HR (by unofficial policy) wouldn't take any local suggestions for who would be interviewed...the "process" didn't work like that. "The process" had HR giving them a list of pre-approved candidates, then HR would allow the local staff to interview them, and then HR would take it from there. After I got my form letter of rejection, I found an LCA for my job had been filed within a few days of my application. Using various H1B "job sites" in conjunction with the Department of Labor's LCA system, I found dozens of jobs in my area that never had any advertising on any job board, nor had any recruiters been contacted. These jobs went straight to H1B, they didn't even bother looking for a US citizen.
Most frustratingly, there is no one to really complain to, no regulatory agency that will listen. Even when the law is broken...until it gets to the level of a Congressional hearing nothing is done. Even then, nothing happened to Disney, or SEC, or any of the other giant corps. A few donations to re-election campaigns via shadowy 501s and the issue is dropped every time. Sometimes I think the only solution is to destroy the staffing corps pushing this, and by that I mean literally set fire to the US locations of companies like Tata and Infosys.
Incompetence is also worse because there is an unknowable number of problems like this. At least with intent, someone somewhere has an exact list of what has been compromised. With incompetence, systems are compromised and no one knows until it's too late.
It's got historical value, one of the first major computer installations. TPF (Transaction Processing Facility) was developed by IBM and this location at 4000 N Mingo was one of the first deployed installations of it. It's two stories underground, behind a huge blast door. Unfortunately, it's off-limits to the public (and most employees that work there too). There might be a couple of dozen people who have access to it. I had to beg for two years just to go down; even then I didn't get to see all of it. Conspiracy theory says it's connected to the "underground UFO transport system" lol. Some claim that there has been UFO sightings / storage there, but it IS on Tulsa International Airport grounds and there are many drunk Okies around hahaha.
It would make a great place to hole up in case of some apocalypse. If you shut down all the computers, you could have enough on-site generated electricity to last a few years. Plus your behind several tall fences with barbed-wire, and isn't located inside Tulsa proper. Even better, Lake Yahola and it's water processing systems is less than two miles away, and just north is Mohawk Park that has wild game running around.
A friend of mine converted to Judaism; I told him to "be authentic" and go out to the Little Sahara region in the panhandle of Oklahoma for at least three days and to use a sharpened rock to re-circumcise himself.
It could be argued his idea is treason; he's giving aid to "the enemy" by accomplishing ISIS's goals of proving that politicians in the US "hate Islam".

Hulk Hogan?
A defense against rabbits already exists, it's called an "outdoor cat" lol.
That was Google. This is "Alphabet". New company, "new" morals!

Apple would need a whole new division just to deal with the hundreds of thousands of requests per year they would be deluged with.
With AT&T, just "ask nicely" and you probably won't even need a warrant!

Good! Strangled dolphin tastes the BEST!
"So where was that extra $45 going?" hookers and cocaine, of course!

I'll look into our product to see if it has anything like that...

We're trying to stop the illegal, evil, and insidious Canadian syrup cartels. Their sugary maple death liquid is destroying American cities.
