The Catholics have their Ecclesiastical laws, and many Catholics turn to their priests for advice that is "outside" of normal state courts. Judaism has Halakha, and almost all religions have their own "set". IMHO, the only real issue is if these religion laws directly conflict with secular law and the members of said religion enforce rulings that are otherwise illegal. Some of the worst offenders are LDS, they've done far worse with their polygamy and child marriage in the US than Sharia law has inside the US.
All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
They didn't "think of it first". The original Levitical law was just as harsh, just as tribal, and predates Islam by several thousand years. Luckily Judaism is no longer in an "expansion" phase (except for the territorial wars in Israel/Palestine), but even there very few Jews are advocating for putting themselves under pure Levitical law. None that I know of are advocating for non-believers to be under it...and Judaism doesn't seek out converts.
" Have you tried turning it off and on again? Uh... okay, well, the button on the side, is it glowing? Yeah, you need to turn it on... uh, the button turns it on... yeah, you do know how a button works don't you? No, not on clothes."
The way HPE HR present it though, it reads like a blanket "no" to either type of reference. When prodded, they will eventually make a difference...but to their management it's presented as "no references or discussion about any employees, all outside parties must talk only to HR".
I've been told recently by several recruiters that no one ever follows up on any resumes that come in from job boards, or even their own job posting websites. I do get many calls when the recruiters find my posted resume off Careerbuilder etc, but never any response from applying to anything on them. A trick I picked up was updating my resume every week, even just shuffling stuff around as that puts it back up to the top of "fresh" resumes lol.
Many corps have a blanket policy against professional references. I've had a real problem with Hewlett Packard Enterprise in this regard; their HR says are OK with "personal references" but "advise against giving professional references". This is HR speak for "you can't give professional references". I had one company tell me they required professional references from a manager from a position in the last three years; which was impossible since HPE was my only employer for those three years.
Even more hypocritical is that HPE wants professional references yet refuses to give the same. And what is a "personal reference" anyway? That I can grill a good burger, and am fun at parties? That might fulfill a part of what potential employers are looking for (works well with others) but does little to ascertain how I function in a technical position. Once I finally pinned down their exact HR policy I told them the difference what they would allow for people seeking references; I guess it worked since I'm starting a new job Monday lol.
Out of over 200,000+ police? My guess is this is "800 caught red-handed". Seems like the UK police are pretty OK with this too, with most offenders not getting in any trouble at all. Good show!
I trust The Computer! The Computer is my friend! I love The Computer!
I've always thought that saying anything negative about my company, co-workers, etc, using company resources is a "violation" of my "professional ethics" anyway. When I'm on a job, I see myself as a professional IT worker, and don't discuss my personal feelings about anything at all via corporate email. My feelings towards the corp have little to do with system uptime, resolving hardware issues, etc. My feelings might be useful if I'm tasked with pinning down some "power user" to install some software on their PC if their known to be "combative towards IT", but even then I know how to professionally phrase my potential issues. If your highly disgruntled at your job, you should probably be making plans to move on anyway and shouldn't need some AI to tell you so.
Corp email is owned by said corp. Nothing you do or say using the corp's time or infrastructure is private. This isn't something new, its always been this way. What annoys me even more is that the CIA is considering a database search that adds to a tally then does some percentage calculations an AI. Really? What could be boiled down to a few search lines, simple addition, and maybe a SQL table of "key words" is an AI?
That's technically the same thing going on here. Yet in the USA, the corps decided that once they are using anything they own it, and are allowed to file multiple suits and throw millions if not billions of dollars at anything they feel like no matter what the actual law says. For them, no laws are "real" until it gets all the way to the Supreme Court for each instance the public attempts to "intrude" on anything they might profit off of.
Print up a petition, have your other local neighbors all sign it. Take this in to your state senator's actual office as opposed to just having a curbside conversation. Send a copy to all your local and state newspapers and your city council as a "letter to the editor" and tell the Senator that this is now an "official issue". Curbside chats aren't "official business", petitions delivered as a "constituent concern" in-office usually are. I'd make sure to list in the petition that eminent domain should be a "last resort" if some type of agreement can't be realized. I'd also make the petition as specific as possible, using some SLA-type language in it.
It's not whining, it's typical Corporate Capitalism at it's finest. Use the laws to get concessions from the public domain, and then use the laws to stop all other "competition" from using those same resources. I'm sure that "back in the day" when they first got access AT&T promised to allow whatever access these cities needed in the future. However, the modern AT&T isn't the same entity as the new AT&T. Somehow we, the public who decided that AT&T needed to be broken up in 1986, has decided that it's cool to allow the same cancer to once again coalesce into an even larger organism. Not only have they re-absorbed all the original Baby Bells, but they also now control almost all access to the nation's copper plant, wide swaths of wireless territory, cable-based TV distribution, and wired internet services. In many ares they have zero competition for DSL usage, which is the definition of a monopoly. Pointing out that some of these locations have access to cable internet is a false analogy as even though they both deliver internet service the underlying technologies are wildly different. The cable plant can't really utilize more than one ISP (that I know of), but the DSL / copper system can accommodate many different ISP systems WHEN AT&T will graciously allow it.
Same issue with AT&T and bridging mode. It's the "router behind router" setting on my 3801HGV. Their tech support claimed they had NEVER heard of bridging. Even worse, I have the "business DSL", so I would assume bridging would be at least common enough to have in the knowledge base. What's the point of offering static IPs if you don't support the capability to actually use them?
Emotional wording, pleading for good reviews, tales of woe and unemployment from bad reviews...I wouldn't believe this for an instant. It's highly probable that no one's job is actually at stake, and this is a con to get the review changed. I've had them beg me to not leave a bad review after never receiving items, broken items, etc; it's pretty common. Don't be swayed, stick to your guns.
Honestly, I have no idea. I've never been in an accident like that or killed anyone, nor have I been in a situation when I needed so save anyone either. Every time I see a comment on this, I keep hearing that line "YOU ARE HAVING AN ACCIDENT" lol. I personally wouldn't be shocked at my subconscious decisions; but I know much of that is dictated by more primitive parts of my brain that evolved during a far more primitive time tens of thousands of years ago...if not even before Homo Sapiens even existed.
This is Cisco we're discussing, so I read "any any" at first glance.
Andy Bechtolsheim is a co-founder of Sun, back in 1982. Two of the three founders only worked at Cisco for seven years, both part of the acquisition of Granite Systems in 1996. The synopsis makes it sound like the company is a Cisco employee-stealing corp.
Probably the Unix Year 2038 problem. "Programs that work with future dates will begin to run into problems sooner; for example a program that works with dates 20 years in the future will have to be fixed no later than 2018."
The BEST (or worst) "fear mongering" I saw was some made-for TV movie that had a nuclear reactor that was overheating...and the sub-plot ended with several people INSIDE the control rod room when the water flooded it (which cooled it down and saved the day). I also remember Gary North's website (which is now hawking wealth management) which constantly had a mix of fear-mongering, prepper stuff, and potential economic fallouts.
I'm guessing your talking about the Year 2038 issue "coming up". As an interesting side note, you should check out the John Titor time-travel stuff surrounding it. Someone I know actually patented the time travel device! Well, filed an application for a patent, I don't know if it was granted. IMHO, the guy that did it is a psychopath and is currently in prison. .

"Micro$oft" may not be funny anymore, but it's still true. Although their not nearly as bad as Oracles per-core licensing.
I keep seeing the word "ansible" instead lol
I'm picturing some type of inside-only, velvet lined slip-on shoes. The kind that your feet don't even notice your wearing, and match the jacket lol

And then use a cantenna point-to-point system to get your high-speed internet back to your big-ass house lol.
