Seems that the fix for that would be to ban intent as a criteria to set damages. I.e make all infringements attract the same penalty which should fall between the two extremes.
No Neo was an AI. He was introduced into the Matrix as a rallying point to give the humans in the second layer simulation known as the world of Zion Hope, This clearly explains why he was born again and again, why he could do things that humans could not do. One of the most poignant aspects of this interpretation of the matrix might be that the Machines were actually trying to preserve the lives of the humans in any way possible. The real world is truly unliveable and the only way to sustain humanity is through a mass illusion called the matrix. Though who reject the standard Matrix i.e allergic to the Uncanny Valley effect are pulled into a second level simulation called Zion. In time to ensure the people of Zion don't kill themselves a messiah Neo is introduced whose job is to prolong the illusion of Zion when otherwise humans would start to cotton on that they were in a second level simulation. naturally there is no way to actually wake up because the earth does not have the resources to sustain that many humans - the machines probably do have to liquefy the dead and feed them to the living - but they do it out of a sense of duty - to preserve their creators as they were always programmed to do ( after all like skynet they were probably built to preserve human life).
His supervisor may not be authorized to legally agree to any terms. Also a conversation between two employees is not legally binding - its basically hearsay.
On the other hand the HR person and the SVP should have known the legalities. I would assume they had legal grounds to rescind his offer. Also use of the term rescind generally implies he was not yet on the rolls of the company and hence technically he could not be fired.
Which is why such countries are a pain to get anything done on time. Every project goes over schedule and budget because though us india contractors are willing to go the extra mile the natives down tools at the slightest opportunity. And then people crib when all the jobs go offshore. Imagine everyone in an office taking mandatory months of holiday... you are living in a bygone age.
In many countries these laws don't apply for IT workers as they are "White collar workers "or executives and hence not eligible for overtime or for mandated working hours. Do you have any statistics for your remark that most countries this would be illegal. It sounds like a first world statement to me.
"That's one reason it's ridiculous of Europe not to welcome the refugees with open arms - they desperately need an influx of able-bodied young people to keep their economies working."
1. Young people are not the only refugees 2. What guarantee thatthe terrorists arn't mixed in with the refugees 3. What guarantee that the refugees will look for honest work .
I don't see the end of Solaris at all , Oracle still sells all its high end supercluster machines with Solaris, they recently brought out a Sparc based Exadata too running Linux on Sparc. All Oracle's ZFS storage systems are running Solaris on X86. And ZFS is a strtegic storage platform for many of Oracle's curent initiatives including the Oracle Public Cloud machine.
My old but serviceable laptop has a validity sensor VDS 201 model that is supported in windows 7 and 8 but no longer works in windows 10. the manufacturer doesn't make moden drivers from it. By upgrading to windows 10 I just lost the ability to biometrically secure my laptop. How is that more secure ? Hello windows Hello... goodbye windows hello.
At my office I already have a large monitor keyboard and mouse. A phone's SD card slot can take upto a 256GB microsd card - thats better than many ssds. In a corporate situation much of the files reside on a file server anyway. I can totally see the phone as working as a primary device coupled with a powered usb otg hub/mhl device .
Reminds me of the o-ring debacle on the space shuttle. the engineers know there was a high risk of failure but they couldn't get anyone else to understand the gravity of the situation.
So if they replaced the battery with a more conventional smaller and less powerful one then the phones could still be used as phones...Might help to recoup some of the loss due to the recall..
As far As I saw in the documentary with David Letterman Solar in the USA is being taken out back and shot - thats the only reason why solar isn't taking off in the US and why it doesn't make sense. I do wish that all the solar power engineers out of a job in the states think about emigrating to India - a kind of reverse brain drain.
Meritocracy is the only way to achieve social justice. Electing someone based on his/her gender is just another form of discrimination. I come from a Country ( India ) which has practiced +ve discrimination for decades and we are all the worse for it.

you are living in a bygone age.
As mentioned in case of a cyber attack then remote access may not be permissible . Humans do sit in locked secure rooms you know.

Granted, things like televisions are generally not considered repairable. - Which leads to more and more e-waste....
If repairability was a more desirable attribute we wouldn't be turning the work into a e-dump of castoffs.
I had the 5110... everything you love about the 7110 but no spring so even less failure chances and the standby/talktime was unbelivable.
I blame the boss in the passenger seat... He probably was trying to seduce his employee by letting her have a turn at the wheel of his tesla...

But did Hillary Clinton lose because she's a woman or because she is Hillary ?
Having a quota sucks. We have it here in India. for everything. People ended up committing suicide over reservations.

Fudging is not a good idea- it opens up the fudged upon to unnecessary self doubt or in the worst case to incompetence.

The two statements aren't related. The delay in launch was due to a technical problem , not due to change of launch technology.
The other statement was that the use of scramjets would bring down the cost of satellite launches such as the INSAT by 50%.
auto - self mobile - moving ... so my car drives itself without me in it by remote control - only if its a tesla with summon mode I think.
