I visited a website which was infected by this. I've spent the last hour trying to find out what it's supposed to do exactly, but all the information is on how to remove it from a website and nothing about what it does to a user's computer, and if he/she needs to do anything to remove it.

@Lilienthal And that's okay. A lot of times these tools are meant to help things get closer to the mark even if we can't 100% get there. If it's still way off target, you folks will step in as a group.

This is also good to note that this is a shining example of where the close, edit, reopen cycle works really well to take some raw, unfinished material and turn it into a sculpted masterpiece.

jmort253

Feb 19, 2016 15:19

But I actually went through every single comment. There were several good ones seeking clarity, which the op resolved, making them obsolete comments, or comments answering the question, which we try to discourage since the answers section is where all the Google search juice will come from.

Q: How to manage a co-worker you dislike

I have recently been promoted to manage a small team I worked in before. My problem is, one of my coworkers. The co-worker (Jane) is a person I really do not like. We’ve had several loud clashes. Most of my coworkers don't like Jane very much, but they don't work close to her everyday, so they ...

Seems like, if asking for actual law text, it's not the same as interpreting the law. Do you think this can be reopened? If so, it needs 4 more reopen votes from those with the close/reopen vote privilege.

Anyone see any edits that could be done to possibly bring this question back on-topic so it isn't a plea for advice?

@Dan - Think about the last time your workplace had a seminar on sexual harassment or workplace bullying. My guess is it was probably an hour long and had lots of information intended to teach not just tell. I'd be very surprised if someone just walked into the room and said "Don't do X. That is all. Good day." Can you or someone else perhaps add a bit more to this so we also do the same? Hope this helps clarify. (As an aside, some of the info from the comments could possibly help, if you or someone else wanted to edit.) — jmort253 ♦ 32 secs ago

Overall, the response seems to be that the reviews are really helpful and have made an impact on keeping the site clean, on-topic, and also taking some questions that did have potential and ultimately reopening them.

Here's the information from the IRS on how to determine if you pass the bona-fide residence test: irs.gov/Individuals/International-Taxpayers/…

jmort253

Feb 1, 2016 16:41

The key word when I look at this folks is that it says "probably". Even the quote by @phoog says "probably" There is nothing in the tax law that clearly spelled out how to 100% tell if you're a bona-fide resident. "Probably" just isn't good enough for me to rely on, which is why I'd strongly suggest the op pass the physical presence test. It's spelled out a lot more clearly and definitively than bona-fide residence status. The bona-fide residence test even refers to its own name, creating a bit of a circular reference.

jmort253

Feb 1, 2016 16:41

How do you know the op is a bonafide resident? From what I read of the tax law, it wasn't clear how to fully establish this.

As someone who builds software for sales, I have to know how to code, understand how salespeople think, watch and understand how they work, and know the terminology they use so we can communicate with each other about the problem, which ultimately leads to practical solutions.
