Banks should be liable, there is often insufficient ways to validate who you're transferring money to. Sometimes the bank interface will tell you name and address, after you type in numbers, but who validates this? My bank (in Denmark)

Greenland has the option to join the EU. French Guiana is in south America and is part of the EU. Both of these territories are parts of existing EU member nations. I guess with brexit it won't help Canada to claim they are a British t

People can jump employers while one H1B, anyways, it's besides my point, which is: Until the US had better visa programs, it would be a shame to dismantle the H1B program. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Make a replacement

You still loose data stored, phone number, etc. But you could make the argument you should do backup of cloud services, the same way you do backup of hard drives.

Finland has a sizable amount of hardware in storage. And could easily donate more equipment to Ukraine. Even if stockpiles runs low, Finland could finance equipment for Ukraine. Both of these options would hurt Russia more, and probably cos

An informal pip. You can tell someone they need to improve their performance. You can help them make a plan. And you can help evaluate the result. Making a plan can certainly help. You don't need to involve HR inorder to make a plan. (
