@Clumsycat but does it make a difference if her manager has issues with her because she is a woman or just dislikes her for some other reason? It's a toxic environment and it's not like telling him "you are a sexist" is magically change anything. It seems like her manager (and the CTO) have an issue with her. If this is her gender or the tone of her voice or the place she grew up or anything else doesn't change much.

@Clay07g I only work in professional companies where 1000€ for a new build server isn't even something to argue about. That's less than 25 hours work cost for the company. A build server will save that amount of time in no time!

Setting up a build server is a job for one day if you are a professional developer. Not using one is just not state of the art software development.

@DavidZ it's an easy way to filter out candidates. You'd be surprised how many people even holding a PhD can't do a simple coding example like reversing an array. And those people are definitely not fit for a position even as junior developer. Filtering them out fast saves resources for evaluating the candidates further.

If you work in a "underresourced IT department", only the stupidest managers would reduce resources even more by firing you for not working on PTO. Also, working in IT, you probably know skilled IT people are a scarce resource and finding another job isn't hard.

I definitely did not, I stated a simple fact of logic, which is that A = > A is always true if A is true. There are a lot more cases, and without clarifying your question, no other answer is possible.

Who exactly would stop a country from breaking or changing its own rules they themselves created?
Josef says Reinstate Monica
Feb 21, 2020 23:13
What rights a country has is mostly just decided by this country itself.
Josef says Reinstate Monica
Feb 21, 2020 23:13
No, that's implying too much.

If you assume A, then A => A is true!

Feb 21, 2020 23:13
@user e.g. Wikipedia has different definitions. So is your question basically: "If a country is not prosecuting people for crimes committed abroad, is this country not prosecuting people for crimes committed abroad?" Because by trivial logic this is always true.
Josef says Reinstate Monica
Feb 21, 2020 23:13
@user depends on your exact definition of "extraterritorial jurisdiction". There are different ones. And then, depending on your definition you have to find a country which actually matches that definition.

@StumpedMoneyHacker if you do just that, the output of the team will be not much. You blame it on the star developer. Some people will already see that that's also your fault for allowing that a single person has so much exclusive knowledge. With the weeks and months, your excuse will become weaker and weaker. Not much will improve, because the management structure and processes are broken. No magic unicorn rock star developer turns up as replacement. After some time, your job is on the line.

@DanielR.Collins and you are making the mistake of comparing two entirely different systems by looking at a single, meaningless, number. If you don't actually want to understand the education systems of European countries, what is it you want?
Josef
Nov 10, 2019 05:40
@DanielR.Collins in fact passing rates for the first try of the Matura exam recently declined to 80-88%. As I said, if you fail there you can retry just the subject. Only 7-8% fail the Matura in the year they finish school (there is another exam date in fall before the winter semester an Universities starts). This means they can't start university in the same year. There are no official numbers how many fail all tries to get the Matura, but it is basically no one.
Josef
Nov 10, 2019 05:40
@DanielR.Collins Your numbers are wrong. In Austria, about 40% of the 18/19 years got a Matura. But this doesn't mean 60% failed. Most of the other 60% never went to a school where you can get a Matura. Failing the Matura exam itself is almost impossible. If you fail a subject, you can repeat it up to three times at the same school and if you fail all of them you can retry (just this subject!) in another school. So usually people drop out of school before. Practically everyone who gets to the Matura passes.

@acpilot The definition of unique is: "being without a like or equal" or "able to be distinguished from all others of its class or type" So if you want to prove that a freedom is unique you have to show it doesn't exist anywhere else!
Josef
Aug 11, 2019 14:44
@acpilot My expectation is something that is unique to the US or North America, as asked.
Josef
Aug 11, 2019 14:44
Regarding your edit: The question is "Are there any freedoms that are unique to either the United States or the North American continent?" If you mention anything that is illegal in some countries, that's not a valid answer. You need something that is not allowed in all other countries to make it unique!
Josef
Aug 11, 2019 14:44
@vsz then please edit your answer to define exactly and narrowly what "speech" is as considered by you. Without that constraints it's just objectively false.

There is also the protection of Sundays and holidays as days of rest (e.g. GG Art. 139 in Germany or this wikipedia article which gives most people the freedom to rest from work at least one day a week.
Josef

Military operations on the countries soil are highly limited in Germany compared to the US. This might also fit to the list.

@MartinFürholz if you have to assume that the device has been compromised, you also have to assume the data has been transmitted somewehere else and the point is moot. (and on most devices it's not possilbe to send out the encryption key because that is stored in a hardware security module!)

@Fax Yes. Breaking the key takes about 13,668,946,​519,203,305,​597,215,004,​987,461,470,​161,805,5‌​33,​714,878,481 years if you use 2 billion PCs! That's what we are talking about. There is the small chance that AES has a flaw that allows it to be broken faster. Currently no such flaw is known!
Josef
Jun 26, 2019 13:31
@a.t. there are no possible vulnerabilities except breaking AES to get data that has been encrypted with AES after the key has been wiped!
Josef
Jun 26, 2019 13:31
@a.t. a brute force attack on AES-256 would take about 13,668,946,​519,203,305,​597,215,004,​987,461,470,​161,805,5‌​33,​714,878,481 years if you use 2 billion current high-end PCs (at least according to that article ) Its unlikely the universe will exist this long!

@jamesqf the same in the EU. It is required to have liability insurance of at least a few million € (varies by country) to register a car and get license plates. You are not required to have any insurance on the car itself. Also, if the damage exceeds the costs covered by the insurance the driver is of course liable for the exceeding amount. (and most likely bankrupt for the rest of his/her life)

@jpmc26 the point is if roads wouldn't be free to use and you'd have to pay maybe $3 road toll to get to a supermarket and back, behavior of people would change. Of course there is a value in not dealing with transit schedules and so on, but while roads are subsidized by the government we cannot find out what this value is. How many $ per mile more for car than public transport would people be willing to pay for that advantage?
Josef
Sep 28, 2018 09:14
@jpmc26 but that is also a result of cars being available. If most people wouldn't have a car, there probably would be a lot more smaller stores. No one would build massive grocery stores away from resident areas if not for people driving there by car. Since I last moved I have a supermarket 200m from my flat. I now drive a lot less to the big stores because the time spent in traffic jam and the price for gas isn't worth the small advantage of a bit more selection of products and a bit cheaper prices.

@DonFusili Compared to you, I am a star scientist and I am certain there are unknown dangers in GMOs.
Josef
Apr 20, 2018 13:21
If you are a politician and favor the legalization of GMOs, a lot of people will hate you for that. There is a real risk to lose your next election. If you don't do anything in this regard, the only people unhappy are managers for companies producing GMOs. They are not at all relevant as voter group.
Josef
Apr 20, 2018 13:19
As I said, food is cheap in the EU. Nobody cares if it is even cheaper. If I could save 20€/Month, which is absolutely unattainable using GMOs, this would allow me to go to the cinema alone once per month or drive about 250km more with my car.
That's such a small advantage, who cares?
Josef
Apr 20, 2018 13:16
@DonFusili If you want the law to change, you need convincing arguments. If you want it to stay the same, you don't. The law not changing is the default case.
Josef
Apr 20, 2018 11:45
@DonFusili No. the point is: GMOs are banned now. To allow them, there needs to be a huge advantage. Non-GMO products are not banned. There is no point in arguing about that.
If you want to change something, you always have to argue why this is an advantage.
Josef
Apr 19, 2018 22:01
@JonathanReez reintroducing slave labour would also decrease food prices. That's not a good reason to do it.
Josef
Apr 19, 2018 22:01
@JonathanReez as me and other people already told you: Food is cheap and plenty in the EU. Your personal disagreement doesn't change the facts.
Josef
Apr 19, 2018 22:01
@JonathanReez the point is there is nothing to gain from allowing GMO for a normal citizen but there is something to lose. So no point allowing it.
Josef
Apr 19, 2018 22:01
@JonathanReez so you would be willing to guarantee with all your personal belongings that there never will be any danger in any given GMO product which is higher than in an non GMO product?
Josef
Apr 19, 2018 22:01
@JonathanReez until you can proof that out of all GMOs there is none that has any effect on any out of all organisms that is worse for health than a non GMO, GMOs are "potentially unhealthy". This is what potentially means. The risk might be low, but then there is no shortage on food in the EU. The point is, there is nothing to gain from allowing GMOs for a politician (unless you count bribes from the food industry) and a lot too lose (votes).

It is even easier to write fault free computer code than to write fault free mathematical proofs. Just handle the code in the same way as an mathematical proof: look over it, but don't compile it and definitely don't run it on any inputs.

@moneyt no, providers can of course change a different price for "long distance" and "local" calls, translated to e.g. "low latency" "high bandwith", .... Just not different based on the content of the call. It would be like saying your phone company listens to your calls and charges more if you talk critically about them or a partner company. Of course a alternative is to just split off the infrastructure. Highly regulated last mile to the customer in a separate non profit company for example, and different companies then sell internet access from there. But providers wouldn't like that...
