So everybody with a phone that is newer than 10 years will be of violation of the law. If the voting area is next to a public road, all people that pass by are in violation of the law.
OTOH it is nice to see that Texas is adapting to the metric system. Must be to be nice to all the Mexican tourists.
The thing is that you can putb in any number in your Ascent, Cisco or whatever system that you like. I have put them in and I could do technically whatever I desired. What we did was a part the standard callback number and a part nothing. Reason is because some people will only call back when they know the number and some will call back if they don't know it is us who want our money back. We never put in any different number, but it would have been trivial to do. What kept us from doing so was that we wanted people to call back and we did not want to go to jail.
So even if this would not be possible in the US, it could be possible in India or other countries to do so without the help of the telecom operator.
To prevent that you would need a LOT of countries to change their rules and have them enforce it to their local Telcos.
I found the middleground to be the most ideal. Open, but with a limited amount of people. So one room per team or department, depending on the size. And that with an absolute maximum of 15-20 peeople per team/department. Cut in half if larger.
Some places I have worked had done this and it is fun to see the differences in place to place. Some or quiet that it looks as somebody died. And that is each day. Other departments sound as if there is a party going on each day with all the noise. And each is happy how they are and would not like to be like the other teams.
People will be selected not only on their skill, but also on the ability to fit in the group. I have seen a person coming in for one job and got offered a different one, because that person would fit in better in that group. Putting the person in the wrong group would mean a disaster for both the group and the new employee.
And yes, there will be some people who are better working alone. Then perhaps the specific company is not for you. I have said no to job offers because of the group not being in what I am as a person.
How do you know that? If a state actor did this, we might not even know what their goal was, so we have no idea if it worked or not. Just look at Zero Days IF thise where an attack, we have no idea yet to know who or what the real target was and if it worked or not. And perhaps awareness WAS the goal.
If I get such an SMS from my operator, I would ask them why they are sending me this message. If they then dare say that they do it on behalf of a third party, a shitstorm will happen on how they should NOT spam me and I would look up the privacy laws that tell them not to do this. If they say they do this on their own, I would file an official complaint how they are in possesion of data of an ongoing investigation. If I was the killer, I would use this to get my case thrown out, most likel as they are gathering informaton illegally.
If the court would have ordered the operator to comply, there would be other roads to be taken and that is a big if.
I wonder how soon these will be implemented in metro and train station; public accesible buildings like malls, sports centers and offices. And next there will be mobile ones in the street.
And all this with the excuse of safety and telling you that these are public places, so you can't expect any privacy.
Google seems to be doing business strategy based on whack-a-mole. Try this. Does it work out? Great. Doesn't work out. drop it and try again. They where just plain lucky that the first few where a hit and gave them enough money to absorb all the misses. And if you do enough tries, you will hit something eventually.
So this is just another where the beta program is being discontinued. They will first probably let it bleed dead and then just cancel it all, not even sell it.
This is why I use a qwery keyboard. azerty is the standard where Ilive. Only when I started using a qwerty did I understand why some things where as they where. Search down and up is / and ? because it is on the same key. Would be the same as if the search doan would be à and up %. No other erason then that they are on the same key on an azerty keyboard.
The extra advantage is that I use my own keyboard at work and nbody will ever sit where I am, because of that. I also use a trackball instead of a mouse and more than once this resulted in me typing in the admin password for the IT person as they where unable to get themselves logged in. (Moste are able to do so)
And of all the horrible things they do on a keyboard, the â is the worst. ALT-GR+e. So you need two hands to type it or move your right hand and use yiur left thumb for the AltGR which is just as horrible to do.
Because the US has changed as well. They are no longer the country that helped where there was trouble. It does now order countries around to follow their orders. The US has been cought in so many coups around the world it isn't even funny anymore. The fact that Russia does it in another way than the US who do it more hidden; does not make a difference.
So why do we not give all countries some nukes? That way there will be world peace. Or is it more of a "Do as I say, not as I do." Oh wait, the countries with the bombs ARE the countries that take away the stuff from the peace loving hippies. Remember: Nuclear missiles don't kill people. People kill people.
Are you trying to start a war?...Wallonia, the French speaking region of Flanders...and Brussels Should have been:...Wallonia, the French speaking region AND Flanders... or...Wallonia, the Dutch speaking region of Flanders...
So in fact it is all of Belgium that is against it. as there are only these three entities on that political level. Yes, I live in Flanders and work in Brussels.
If you call your mom or grandmom or great aunt or somebody else who has no idea how a computer works, never ask "Do you see button XXX" because the anser will be yes, regardless if the system is on or even in the room. The reason for this, I believe, is that we are taught that it is very wrong to give either the wrong answer and say that you do not know anything.
Lying goes further than what people are looking for. It is more about the intend to mislead the person. Even when not telling the truth does not mean you are lying.
e.g. I take the train to work each day and the train takes (if there are no delays) 22 minutes. If somebody asks me how long it takes I say "half an hour" most of the times. Even if I know that the time is not correct and I assume the person know that it won't be 30 minutes exactly, I would not see this as a lie. Now if I know that the person needs to have a connection so he can take his flight and I say 22 minutes, I would consider that as a lie. Why would that be a lie as the correction is correct? Because I can assume that the question was not really about the duration of the train trip, but about catching their plane. The correct info would be that even if the trip is 22 minutes, to calculate an hour, because the train can leave up to 5 minutes later and not be seen as delay and even if the train leaves on time, delays might happen in that short trip. Also if the train does not go at all, he still can get the next one and be on time.
Now if that first person where I told how long the trip was is asked, somebody else might ask it and he will say 30 minutes. He would also no be lying, because he does not have the correct information and he does not know that he does not.
Lying is more about the willingness to mislead people than it is about telling the truth. Car example: Naming your system auto-pilot is lying, even if you know that an auto-pilot need human interaction and an alert driver/pilot. You know what people will understand it means and if you still use it that way just to say late "but we did not mean that" is lying.
Watches that last 24 hours? I know people who walk around with an extra battery so their phone lasts 24 hours. As long as companies think that those will not sell, we will not anything like that.
If the IT is part of your gameplay, it becomes part of the game. Just like the headphones and the marketing.
Or would you say that a bank does not need to do IT well, because they are a bank and not an IT company? Or a provider does not have to do accounting well, because they are not an accounting company?
So if you get non-working hardware then you have not tested it enough. Probably because a lot of money has been paid to do it that way, instead of looking what was really needed.
What they should have said is "We do not have the knowledge, so we do not want these devices until we have the knowledge." Instead they said "Give us a few million and we use an Etch-A-Scetch" or a wet newspaper for all we care. (Insert joke how that would have been better)
So my IoT thing sends out a http request on port 80 of your web server, is that a DDOS attack or is that a valid request? There used to be a website where so many people went to a posted URL that the server could not follow the requests. This was called slashdotting. These were all legitimate requests. With a DDOS the requests are not legimate in a sense that the owner of the device did not want to do the request. So I have some questions: How do you know the difference between a legimate and non-legimate HTTP request? How will DNS solve in any way?
Hello, please give us you passcode AND your thumb, or you will be detained for a period of time during working hours. That means you will not be able to get to work and you will likely be without a job very soon. To help that along, we will call your employer to say that you have been detained concerning a childporn investigation. Do not say anything to anybody, because then we will be angry and I or anybody in the department if I get thrown in jail, will go after you and destroy your life. You have 5 seconds to comply.
I keep hearing about these amendements. Can anybody explain what they are? Are they some part of Klingon culture, because it sure isn' something that is valid in the real world.
At this moment I see them as nice discussion points, but nothing more. As long as you can not uphold a law, it isn't worth the paper it was written on.
The situation now is that if people with enough power are cought, they say "So what?" as nothing will be done.
There you go, this is proof that you can't even have an alternative opinion.
You are right, you can NOT have an alternative opinion, because this is not about an opinion. If I put a knife in your kids head and you say that that killed your kid, I am not aloud to say "But that is, like, just your opinion." So if you do the same with my kid, I will not allow you that excuse either.
I live in Belgium and Belgians (Flemish) are not the same as Belgians (Walloons). And the difference in working laws and mentality between Flanders and The Netherlands is so great that many companies have a hard time operating in both. The way you adress people (be it customers or workers) is so different that where it is polite in one place, it will be felt as an insult in the other.
And also: it is al about being efficient. This might be great for managers and companies. Most people I know in Europe are not interested in efficiency. They are interesten in their free time.

When you say "nearly all, except two" and those two are the largest ones in the world, perhaps democracy is corelation and not causation.
So these are the only two options? Hoping the lesser evil wins? That is how the US got in this mess in the first place.

In Belgium if a number is not used for a year, it will be put back in the pool, so you get the number that was used by somebody else previously.
