Re: Unilateral Change to Employment Contract

There was no change, so they have no standing.

Re: Utterly depressing

Your lack of irony is depressing.

Almost all countries have similar laws as below.

"Regarding the legal right to enforce public health, especially during epidemics and pandemics, every state has full power to take every measure needed to end the threat. Those states that have chosen not to, are being willfully and criminally negligent.

Here is the law:

Re: how to prove it

Vaccination cards. Which are linked to a database.

This is the current system.

You can forge the cards but you can forge the database. A few folks have already been caught for forging thanks to the database.

Re: The Machine Stops

One of my earliest reads.

A very dire warning.

Re: Anyone else think the "Metaverse" stuff is smoke and mirrors?

VRML? Christ, there's something I've not heard about in a long time.

More proof. It's just more proof.

Re: Sadville 2.0

Zucks to be us.

Confederacy of dunces.

Re: Copilot

Github died when MS bought them.

Re: There's probably an Outrage Factory out there

An outrage factory? How cute you think there is only one.

There are quite literally, thousands. Think tanks, PR firms, lobbyists, spin doctors, flacks, advertising agencies and most (but not all) news agencies and that's JUST the private sector commercial ones.

Now think about the government ones.

An outrage factory. LOL. So cute.

Re: Unpopular opinion

They lost the plot a long, long time ago.

Re: Mirror, Mirror, tell me who is the most beautiful?

They have never lived on the planet as the rest of us.

Re: Alt-history

This. Not just crazies, but outright psychopaths.

Re: There's still the old problem

If you can't the tell the difference between what is harmful or not, please stop while you are behind.

Even more shocking is the number of upvotes from others who apparently can't tell the difference.

Re: "Common referential mechanisms..."

At this point, we can only hope. IPV4 is way past its shelf life, yet here we are.

Re: Seems to be mixing up the internet with services running atop it

But isn't the Information Highway actually just tubes that make a web and thus the Interwebhighwaytubes?!

Don't be a sheep, man! :)

Re: He then repeated the exercise with 1971 as his starting point, …

This. I've also noticed a lot of comments are off by at least a decade in their past timelines.

I predict people will still not actually use the Internet to do research except for watching YouTube/TikTok celebutaunts who also did not do their research because somehow having (almost) all the information in the world at your fingertips is hard.

Re: Enterprise IT solutions provider

Right? The grift is so easy and yet they STILL can't be arsed to give the least little bit of effort.

Re: The ultimate vapour-ware trial

We can only hope. Remember, this is America, where being rich and well connected means suffering far less consequences for your crimes.
