That's not really phishing. More like a drive-by download. Phishing is where the e-mail or web site attempt to truck the luser into entering an ID/password for the legitimate site being masqueraded.
Phishing attempts to exploit a weakness in the user, downloads exploit the o/s or client software.
The reality is men basically have to suffer through this harassment too and the difference is they are expected to put up with it.
No, I'm not. When some lard-ass starts shouting, pounding the table and threatening people physically, I can back him down. Not many women can.
Management needs to make it clear that this behavior will not be tolerated. Or the company will end up being run by Bubba and all the intellectual talent will move on. This is fine if you are in the business of digging ditches. Not so much in the software business.
... are going to collapse if surverys of old slides are made easily available.
It's possible to map ground contours using SAR through vegetation. And it would be trivially easy to make property purchases conditional on a risk assesment of landslide conditions basd upon past slide activity. There goes the market for those cheap riverfront vacation properties.
But that's not the employer's problem. If an employee leaves of his/her own volition and offers services only on a contract basis, there isn't much an employer can do about it. If its critical talent, they may have no choice other than to accept contract terms. If the IRS takes issue with this, the company has the option to take the whole matter very public. It becomes a clear case of tax regulations interfering with the operation of business operations and is the basis of many companies just saying "F*ck it!" and taking their operations overseas.
This isn't an energy storage device. It' an energy conversion device and as such stores nothing*. Think of it as a piece of wire. Power in, power out. With some minor loss which produce heat. An inverter is just 'magic wire' where DC goes in and AC comes out.
*Technically not exactly true, as an inverter has some smoothing filters. But they store energy for a time period on the order of half an AC cycle, not hours.
To being criticized by women? I think not. Or the species would have gone extinct thousands of years ago.
Personally, I like women that can stand up or themselves. I am admittedly a bit of a jerk and I don't think a relationship with me would survive if a girlfriend or wife wasn't capable of telling me when I'm being an asshole. As long as its constructive criticism, I'm OK with it.
I suppose this would depend on who made the decision to depart. If the employer lets an employee go only to rehire them back as a contractor, then I can understand. But this doesn't need to be communicated to employees through memos. HR can enforce employment/contracting legal and tax issues on their own.
On the other hand, if the departure is initiated by the employee, its quite possible that this employee might be valued but not willing to return under standard employment terms. If Mircosoft wants them, they may only be available as a contractor. Then the IRS and NLRB can go suck an egg.
You can do business with Americans. You just have to make sure they come to you (outside the USA). Its done all the time. And if one can set up a foreign entity withot a clear trail of ownership back to the US company, itis legally beyond the reach of the DoJ.
So now all you have to deal with is NSA snooping and possibly a CIA assasination.
I have bank accounts in 3 countries: Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
Have your Australian and New Zealand banks started their FATCA compliance reporting yet? You are ether a non-US person, very wealthy so as to make the trouble worth it to them, or they'll be closing your accounts soon.
They seemed to like the Sacagawea dollar. When they first came out, people were ordering rolls of them at the bank. But then when the banks started re-rolling used dollar coins, they'd start slipping Susan B Anthony dollars into the rolls. That killed the dollar coin.
Nobody likes confusing SB Anthony dollars with quarters, which is a good part of the reason they never caught on. But the banks (the Fed?) appears to be stuck with them and the mints won't recall them. So, no dollar coins for us.
I've yet to own a car that didn't cost far more in insurance than they ever paid out.
What's the life of the kid on the bicycle that you are about to run over worth? You carry insurance (or otherwise demonstrate financial responsibility) to cover damage that you might do to others.

The IRS does not like this one bit,

In both configurations the inverter output is fed into an isolation transformer.
Which is going to be bigger and heavier than the inverter module. And have higher losses as well.
So what was the point of this contest?
That's 305000W.h per litre.

Under capitalism, if you don't like them, you pay to have them changed in your favor.
Either way, the same shit happens.

Check in kiosks are fine the way they are. If you want a human touch, just wait for the TSA security line. Of course, it will involve a Latex glove.

Not a good idea, IMO.
OK. So there are actually 51 shades of gray.

We've got to get this news to Central America. They are sending their kids up to the USA for free.
I'm sure the guys who made off with 20 tons of copper wire could be persuaded to write a positive piece about Carrasco.
It's smart enough to know its limits. It tells time and leaves the other stuff to other gadgets.
