I think if you can show that the alterations did not cause the failure, yes, it follows that the warranty would still apply. I'm not sure whether the burden would fall on you or the company to prove their case, however.

I'm not sure. There are limits on claiming a refund (e.g. if you are filing previously unfiled returns), but I'm not sure that they apply in case of a dispute. Let us know what you find.

Sure. I like meat, but if there's a version that I can eat that doesn't involved slaughtering animals, that's a net positive.

IRS protocols very frequently override contracts in this regard. If they determine that you should be treated as an employee by the 20 Factor Test (see above), they will go after the company for their half of your back payroll taxes. The

Seems like an easy thing for Uber to fix; it's not running its price gouging calculation on mid-trip changes.

Same here, and our experience with them has thus far been great. Many times IBM doesn't know what they're giving up -- or they simply don't care.

I think GP meant forced binding arbitration, where you can permanently sign away your right to sue in advance of an actual dispute. I believe this is a fairly unique issue to the US. Or are you stating that you can do the same in e.g. C

I suspect that if they allow admins to download DMs, they also probably soft-delete messages, so deleted messages would still show up in the exports. Can anyone confirm?

Doesn't that make part of the agreement a tautology, though? "I will promptly communicate to the Company ... during my period of employment, and I agree that any such invention ... shall be presumed to have been made during my pe

Refusing to sign a contract because of this clause means you are perhaps a closeted free software advocate (and good for you!) or do not really desire a long-term career in this (arguably exploitative) industry. I have to disagree. I&#x2

Did you have 2FA on this account already? If not, they're basically just forcing you into 2FA, and the easiest way to get most people on 2FA is via text message. They're not going to tell everyone to go download Google Authentica

Wouldn't that make it dangerous to own and enforce patents in the first place?

I think it's pretty clear that this was a software oversight, and as soon as a human got involved, the situation was resolved.

I have a very similar situation. I started taking pitch calls and then ran the numbers on what it would cost our family to move to San Francisco / Silicon Valley, and it didn't work out. But their process was fantastic, and if m

IMHO there needs to be at least two hours of overlap for remote teams in different time zones to be feasible. This can work if one of the teams adjusts their schedule to fit, but otherwise it leaves the remote team out in the cold.

Imagine that each piece of inventory had a per-item unique RFID permanently attached to it. Not just a model unique RFID, unique to that particular instance. Imagine that your phone can read that RFID. Your phone also has an app that can

Matrix is basically open source Slack. It fixes a lot of the problems that IRC had, enabling continuous presence, central authentication, easy file transfer, bot integrations, and more. I really hope it catches on more. Disclaimer: I help r

Abandonware is nearly always technically illegal (after all, if it wasn't, and was formally released by the copyright holder, it would be freeware). As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the game is still sold, so I'm not sure i

I think the actual plan may be one step once their own blocker is released: 1. Declare all ad blockers in the Chrome Web Store now obsolete, and ban them.

I think in healthcare, there is a problem with profit as a motivation, at least insofar as the ability to receive care. I think healthcare professionals should be paid, and paid well. But a for-profit company (or whether or not one can pa

It was almost certainly CBP who flagged him. They have his address in a database for a trusted traveler program. They were the ones who intercepted the shipment. They checked the destination address on the shipment and cross-referenced it.

Jesus, why? I think my K-1 (originally from Canada) cost something like $5,000, maybe $6,000 total. I guess plane fares and hotels might play into it, since I can cross by land.

If Famous Company is a multinational, they can probably open doors to visas that would otherwise be unavailable anyway, like an L intracompany transfer.

Interviewed at Google, this is spot on. You need to know arrays, trees, graphs, stacks, queues, at least two sorts (I suggest mergesort and quicksort), dynamic programming, greedy optimization, and big O cold at an absolute minimum. I&#

Can verify that these books are quite good. We ended up with a very easy baby, although slightly preemie and we were worried about her weight for a while. She's running around like crazy now though!

Reminds me of the scene in Mr. Holland's Opus where the title character rigs up a system of lights to operate with the band he's directing, so that his deaf son can "see" the music. It makes me wonder if there is a way

Primarily Chrome, because their dev tools are amazing. (To be fair, I haven't touched Firefox in some time.)
