Given how cliché the "ancient IBM mainframe financial company can't afford to replace" is, I'm betting more that a programmer who is used to ASCII string ordering created a bug programming for an EBCDIC based system.
Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code[1] (EBCDIC[1]) is an eight-bit character encoding used mainly on IBM mainframe and IBM midrange computer operating systems.
I only know once place near me that actually uses the chips. Everyone else has the scanners for the chips, but they're not hooked up and can't actually be used.
I'm curious: how many homeless have been housed by your Slashdot comments, since that's apparently the only metric for determining how worthwhile an activity is?
The fact we don't see the super wealthy going "now that I've amassed a fortune, I've decided to retire so I can finally indulge my true passion, which is scrubbing people's toilets for them" should be enough to tell you that.
Yes, clearly the fact she doesn't want to sit around all day cooking and cleaning for you is because feminism has "ruined" her, and not because cooking and cleaning suck and she'd rather spend her life on something that interests her rather than being an unpaid maid.
Yes it is what the court ruled. If you read the ruling, it says what you say, but then after that has an additional section arguing that even if that doesn't hold up, it doesn't matter anyways because by a second line of reasoning, they didn't actually need the warrant to begin with.
In the longer term, is trapping people in a crappy job they get nothing from as an individual, and which they know could be done better and cheaper by a machine, but which they are required to keep doing because some rich executive wants to show how much they pity the poor really a good solution?
The problem isn't the jobs going away, it's the lack of other options to replace them.
I thought so too, but it seems, this rule is not a law, but a procedural rule actually set by the State's Supreme Court.
Only because the power to do so has been delegated to them by the legislature, and even then only within the bounds provided by law, as per Indiana Code Title 34, Article 8:
The court can't change the rule, only the legislature can, and they won't because they'd lose campaign contributions from the debt collection industry, which is the group that makes most use of it.
I think that if the author had actual evidence the employees in question were H1Bs, they wouldn't have had to qualify the accusation with "may" in the article. It is a trend for companies to bring in H1Bs, but it's also a trend for younger IT workers to be more racially diverse than was the case in the past.
Worrying about the immigration status of your coworkers is a great way to get away with being racist.

Since the complaint is that Google HASN'T copied his work, this seems like the exact opposite of intellectual property law.
Is there an such a thing a intellectual commons law?
I guess this week we're punishing people for "unintentional" failures to comply with regulations again?
They could just be comparing the strings dictionary order:
if ((strcmp(x, "089") > 0) && (strcmp(x, "100") < 0))
{
filter_test_data(x);
}
The above works for ASCII, but not EBCDIC

Given the volume of comments from that user, I'm convinced more than one person is using the account!

Except that's not what we have. It seems like every new contact wants me to install yet another new IM app just to talk to them.

Siri? A Roomba? A remote control toy car? A garage door opener?
Of course not, but it still prevents it from being trademarked.
Carbonite is a thing that existed before Star Wars:

I think you mean the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), not the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
