There's an exception for advances that are out of line from the perspective of a reasonable person. Example:
Asking a new co-worker on a date the first day. May be unwanted (and bad form). You get turned down and never bother her again. Result: no lawsuit, no calls to HR, not a big deal.
You give your new subordinate intimate personal details about your love life and ask if she wants to screw you on her first day. Almost certainly unwanted, even if you stop bothering her after that. Result: extreme awkwardness, lawsuit, HR at best puts you on some kind of probationary watch with the understanding that you will be fired if you do it again, and the subordinate gets her choice of transfer to another group (at least, that's how it should have gone).
The problem is that he was in a position of authority over her (organizationally). This creates a significant power imbalance and can interfere with ability to freely give consent. Even if there is no direct or implied threat in the advance (no quid pro quo that is) there can still be an inferred threat on the part of the recipient (whether the superior intended it or not) simply because of the positional authority the superior has over a subordinate. For this reason many companies have a policy against fraternization involving people subordinate to you or in your chain of command (some go so far as to prohibit fraternization among peers as well, though this is less common).
Bottom line there is no good way for a superior/subordinate to date or "hook up" in the workplace and it should be avoid for strictly ethical reasons if nothing else. Co-worker relationships at the peer level or say, with a supervisor in another department, require a high degree of maturity to manage but should not be considered off limits necessarily (from a legal and ethical perspective) but boundaries and rebuffs must be respected.
If Trump really wanted Petraeus on his cabinet he could just issue a pardon for the offense of leaking classified information. Then it's like it never happened (legally speaking). Yes there is a commission that vets presidential pardons and everything, but there's absolutely nothing stopping the president from exercising his discretion and issuing a pardon to whomever he wishes. That would make the most sense if he actually does pick Petraeus to replace Flynn.
The range for any bit length b of a two's complement number is -2^(b-1) <= n < 2^(b-1). This differs from one's complement (which has a range -2^(b-1) < n < 2^(b-1)) because there is no double representation for zero in two's complement notation however negativity is still easily indicated by the most significant bit (where a 1 is negative and a 0 is positive). Converting from two's complement to the actual number r is given by (unsigned char)n & 0x80 == 1 ? int r = -(int)(((unsigned char)n^0xFF)+1) : r = n;
The reason two's complement notation is favored is because adding numbers together in two's complement allows for simple standard bitwise arithmetic without the need to do a special decoding step for negative numbers.
These are people who HAVE visas to work in the United States. You know, vetted and approved already. It would be one thing to stop issuing visas, it's quite another to deny entry to people who already hold a valid visa.
Just wanted to point out that the federal mileage rate covers the cost of gas as well. So that $162 also covers the $70 you're figuring on gas. More to the point if you have even a reasonable gas mileage vehicle you're looking at around 25mpg city or about 12 gallons of gas a day which would be between $30-$50 depending on the city. Just saying you might need to revisit those estimates.
No. It would be more like if you combined the genetic material of two eggs from the same mother together. It's a mish-mash of genes with a high degree of of similarity. So for example your odds of getting two copies of the same gene are greatly increased. This leads to a higher degree of birth defects and recessive gene combining in unpleasant ways. A clone would actually be *less* genetically damaged.
That being said, it probably works out more-or-less okay for one generation but much beyond that it quickly becomes unsustainable.
Okay, sorry for being pedantic, but if you're referencing a Sicillian and iocaine powder then you're talking about Westley, not Wesley. I know, I know, everyone who watches the movie hears it as Wesley, but that's not correct.
My Sony XB950BT headphones do exactly that. Though I haven't tested what happens if the battery in them dies and I try just the wired connection. But they do work for wired/wireless as desired. Rechargeable from a micro USB connection like most Android phones, but strangely does not work wirelessly with a PS4.
In all fairness, for the business folks out there they do make a LTS version of Windows 10 that is stable an supported for at least two years for businesses that are sensitive to that kind of thing. Of course you have to be on an EA agreement to get that, but if you're not big enough to warrant getting an EA agreement, then you're probably also not big enough to have a rigidly enforced change control process.
Actually, they do not have to get permission to distribute those discs. Once they buy a legitimate copy of it they can do whatever the heck they want with that physical disc short of actually copying it themselves. Redbox went through this a few years ago. Companies weren't happy with their business model and so stopped selling them the discs in bulk. Solution? They sent agents into stores in the area and bought the DVDs at retail, loaded them in the box and rented them anyway. When the MPAA tried to cry foul on that they got told to pound sand. Eventually they worked out a deal to sell them in bulk because it was better for all involved. But the First Sale Doctrine pretty well covers the rights you have to property you legally purpose.
TLDR: because a DVD from Netflix is their property, whereas streaming content is licensed and not owned by Netflix.
There is no earthly reason why everyone should be allowed to send emails with 1.2 million recipients. Any email with more than some reasonable number (say maybe 100ish? Certainly not more that 1000 even with that big if an org) should not be allowed to be sent except from a very small list of authorized users.
Unless of course management caught a bad case of the dumbass and forced the admins to leave that setting on. In which case the managers should be fired.
Windows 7 will still get security updates for another 3.5 years or so (along with Windows 2008 and 2008 R2). If you have an EA agreement you also have downgrade rights. And finally, when those 3.5 years are up you can actually directly upgrade your Windows 7 devices to Windows 10 without have to refresh the entire OS. This is not going to be nearly as painful as the XP --> 7 upgrade was.
I wish I still had mod points. Most insightful comment in the thread. Actually if we just edit the summary to include your comment at the end, then no one else would need to comment at all. Props.
Auxiliary battery pack maybe? A lot of folks have those portable power packs for keeping the phone running for extra time. Especially if he was an avid Pokemon Go player or similar.
More likely they'd be fine with it as long as we posted the seeding plans to the local planning department (maybe four or so light years away from the target star) at least 50 years in advance then we should be fine. Even if the plans were located at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet inside a lavaratory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of Leopard".
I mean, if they can't be bothered to pay attention to local affairs that's not our problem. No sense griping about it now.
Decrease speed as significantly as possible to minimize injury/death to the pedestrians and take whatever standard evasive action possible before the collision happens. If hitting the pedestrian is unavoidable (like, because they ran out in front of the car) then tough beans. In any case automated systems have vastly better (nearly instant) reaction time compared to a human driver so the stopping distance is really only limited by the mechanical capabilities of the brakes. In this super-contrived example with a human driver you would probably have 5 dead and 3 critically injured from a human driver vs. say 2 dead and 2 critically injured from a self-driving car just due to differences in impact speed from reaction time decreasing. It's a non-issue. Most people don't have the moral awareness to drive themselves into a tree to preserve "more lives" when faced with a snap judgement call. We shouldn't expect it of our AI's either.

That's why one of our house rules growing up was "if you run out of houses from the set, fake up some more and they still count anyway".
