Nope, it is regulated what might be in a work contract.
And fucking with a coworker is basic human right (e.g. article 12 UN charter, or Article 2 and 6 of the German constitution), it can only be restricted under rare circumstances. And a subordinate is not automatically such a case. It would/could be if it is a minor (16-17) which whom you legally could have sex, but not as a teacher or superior or any other supervisor (or e.g. in a Church).
And if it would become public that a german or french or spanish company would try something like this they would be the laugh of the nation(s).
I actually never have been at a company that had _any company policy_ except for their "spirit building" and "team building" mottos. OTOH I work mostly as contractor and would probably not see anything like that. I only have to sign security papers and "I don't spill secrets or personal data" papers or "don't let people into the building who have no code card, guide them to the clerk at the entrance", stuff like this.
But the topic is interesting, I will ask around what other people, who are full time employees, know about the topic.
The people were generating more power than they were using. Transformers were being backfed.
That should not happen. And would not happen in Germany. You are not allowed to feed into the grid, aka set up a new installation and connect it to the grid, when there are already "to many" installations in a "block". Then again, your original comment said: "a transformer is inefficient" if it feeds into an upper voltage layer. It is not. It works both ways with the same efficiency... the only loss in both kinds is heat due to resistance, which is the same, regardless in which direction the current is flowing.
Anyway, no idea how Australian authorities are handling this, if they accept that transformers feed back into high er voltage grids, then I would assume it is no problem for them?
Well, if yours are pointless, then ask if you can make restricted stand ups, where only 1/2 or 1/3rd of the team meets and people only join every second or third stand up.
The point of a standup is to answer the 3 questions: 1) What did you finish today/yesterday? 2) What is your plan for today/tomorrow? 3) Is anything blocking you from doing your work?
The SM (or similar role) has to address the blocks, 1) and 2) give an idea of progress of the work. And if a discussion springs up (which should be quenched quickly and addressed under 3) to make a dedicated meeting to talk about) then the SM knows there are hidden problems.
Personal household demand is not that relevant for the load curve of the grid. PV solar power follows nicely the demand of the grid. Obviously it has drawbacks in the high north and deep south.
From a web search: Each of the pyramid's four side are evenly split from base to tip by very subtle concave indentations. Call me nitpicking: but this is still 4 sided. A 8 sided pyramid has an octagon and not a square as base.
In Germany about 40% of all marriages happen to couples that met in the same company.
Anyway, I never worked in a company that even tried to attempt such a policy. How the funk would they do that? Write it in the work contract? That definitely illegal.
Why are you so greedy (your example is wrong anyway) that you don't grant them the saving in costs? Why do you demand they have to spent the extra money to "develop" it?
This is not because of cheaper labor, but because IP is essentially free to Chinese. Actually it is not...
Taiwan has chemical and biological weapons. I doubt that. Officially no developed country still has them, we have treaties against that since 30 years.
didn't build houses, didn't settle, Strange that we found so many relicts of houses and villages... didn't have a common language Extremely unlikely.
And this huge knowledge didn't reach us because it was destroyed... by Christians. Only in rare circumstances, most was long forgotten and underground before the Christianization even started.
There are nice BBC movies about recent stone henge research, you find them on youtube. The people living there traded with people from spain, central europe, north italy and north africa: with canoes.
Those in ancient Britain were also complete illiterates, so building on 5,000 years of maths would have required far greater smarts than today's people. We don't know that. We only assume it. E.g. if they were writing on deer skins, everything is rotten away now in that climate.
he pyramids are aligned to within 1 degree of true north. Modern civilisation is only just approaching that level of accuracy with GPS *today*. That is nonsense.
You seem not to grasp the parents explanation. With a simple stick everyone can figure true north with 1/10th accuracy super easy. Just make the stick long enough and measure a couple of days. E.g. use a small hill and put the stick on top of it.
The rest of your post seems rather nuts to me, starting with an 8 sided pyramid when you clearly see: it is a standard 4 sided one.
But the only difference is: from Babylonians and Egypts we have written relicts, from stonehenge people not.
Bottom line: contrarily to popular believe, math, especially geometry, is simple everyone who is not polluted by "math is hard" brainwashing easily can figure such things.
If Neanderthals had come to the idea to build a pyramid, they most likely had succeeded. They were as smart as we are, just lacked knowledge about metallurgy e.g.
Plant a pole, and mark the tip's shadow location at sunrise on any given day and again the location at sunset. Line joining these two points is East-West. Fixed that for you.
Use the 3-4-5 triangle from a 10 unit long loop of a rope and mark off North and South. You can use a rope based compass and construct the perpendicular, much easier than constructing 2 triangles... But: always good to keep such simple knowledge alive... when I see what my little brothers learn at school (and how it is taught, which is the main problem) I only can shake my head.
solar doesn't scale all that well, because there are too many regions where there isn't enough sun, and energy requirements are at their highest when sunny periods are at their lowest. Again: that is simply wrong. Again: unless you heat with electricity, which outside of France I'm not aware anyone is doing.
What do you mean with "duty cycle"? The dreaded capacity factor? Solar power follows more or less the demand curve. No real need for anything, unless you overproduce and want to store it for the night. On the other hand you most likely soon have enough wind power that you can power the grid at night with wind power alone (Germany can do that now occasionally). Batteries are an option, e.g. flow batteries, but Germany mostly uses pumped storage, and to a lesser extend hydrolysis and feeds the H2 into the gas grid.
Hint: a power plant is in the low GW range and a turbine around 500MW. So TW storage is a bit exaggerated, and you would need TWh anyway:D not TW.

You are just an insulting idiot.
I know basically everything about power generation as I wrote the software for it.
I'm not selling myself. I'm expert, that is true. And you are an idiot. That is true, too.
You claim Solar power is not available when it is needed most, which is plain wrong, every child knows that.
The people were generating more power than they were using. Transformers were being backfed.
That should not happen. And would not happen in Germany. ... the only loss in both kinds is heat due to resistance, which is the same, regardless in which direction the current is flowing.

I worked about 10 years for power companies.
As you never answered with an argument I assume, it is you who has no clue.
E.g. you did not explain so far, why in your opinion, there is no sun, when it is needed most ... (as I pointed out: the opposite is true).

The numbers are irrelevant.
With enough points on a pice of paper you can construct any kind of number ...

Brahams are priests, not corrupt government workers ... no idea why you are so angry today.
China is fighting hard against corruption, at least on large scale corruption.
They most likely still hd gas.
And as you have seen in the example of the US destroying the Iraq military: you don't need WMDs ...
And why does that matter?
Why are you so greedy (your example is wrong anyway) that you don't grant them the saving in costs? Why do you demand they have to spent the extra money to "develop" it?
This is not because of cheaper labor, but because IP is essentially free to Chinese. Actually it is not ...
And why is that insightful?
You still failed to explain: why does it matter?

Well, but after building Iglus every few month year after year, he surely knows PI is closer to 355/113, don't you think so?

Strange, why do we recycle them then?
Wow: it is even cheaper to recycle one than to mine it, refine it, transport it and then use it.

And particularly Neodymium is extremely common.
