I thought this was normally done by requiring the guard to regularly scan special tags physically located around the premises being guarded (or previously, by keeping "watch clocks" wound). https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

Why would I choose to invest in something like this as opposed to (say) units in an property fund, ETF or similar?

It's not actually. Unlike strata, in a Swedish "Brf" you don't actually hold title to any real estate. As the GP says, you own a share in a co-op that itself owns the real estate, and that gives you the right to use the

I'm using tree style tabs, but now I have both tabs in a sidebar (where I want it) and conventional tabs along the top. WTF? If anyone can see how to disable the tab bar at the top, please enlighten me!

At a previous job, we used to do a short phone screen, and then send the candidate a small homework assignment they could do on their own time. The assignment was to build a simple client-server (in C) that solved a particular task, and the

I stand corrected, it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I can find old rpms and deb files with rm aliased in /etc/skel/.bashrc or /etc/skel/profile/aliases.sh, but the most recent I found is in a b

This alias seems to be set by default in many linux distributions these days (and has been that way for many years now). The problem is that you get used to this crutch and rely on it, until one day you're logged in someplace without t

So does New Zealand. I don't see how it's an issue that they expect skilled migrants to speak the language. But Australia has had (and possibly still has) bigger issues with discrimination and xenophobia. Consider that the officia

Kiwis also say "greezy", how does that fit your theory?

The case in question was 10 years ago in Romania, which was only just becoming an EU member that year. I have no idea what sort of laws applied at that time in that country. But generally, employment in most european countries is not as ten

Many european apartment houses have stairway lighting that is on around dawn and dusk, but at other times you push a button for about 10 minutes of light. The timing of these things is not static but follows the sun, and older such equipmen

Many (most?) countries have working holiday visas. The rules and availability depend on your own nationality and the country offering the visa, but generally they are for under 30's for up to a year. Some have a higher age limit, some

Napping aside, when (or where) did "leaving your desk for lunch" become taboo? Is this an American thing? In most places I've worked it would be unusual to stay at your desk for lunch, and in many places it would be discourag

In Sweden, if you accumulate points while travelling on business but use them for personal flights, the tax department wants you to pay tax on the value of the benefit (likely: how much you would have paid without points). How they can know

I agree - you don't need to outrun the bear, you just need to outrun your friend.

I would imagine that an angle grinder works equally well with all locks regardless of brand.

IP4 address space comes to mind. And I think it isn't uncommon to have to add digits to the front of telephone numbers as regions grow (or telephones become more common) and the number space isn't large enough.

Why not simply encode the expiry date itself into the qr codes, then just decode that using software on the device. Even better, stamp a human readable date on the package like every other grocery product. Oh but then they couldn't tra

Why does anyone feel it's necessary to explain why they have the phone they have? There are plenty of people who use cheap phones, and not just as decoys. Why would they exist otherwise?

"No, it's a new one I've just bought for this trip". So what?

I do my normal shopping at a large and busy grocery store near the centre of Auckland. There are no turnstiles or even those flappy "gates" that let you pass in just one direction; the entrance is completely open. Quite often I wa

If you have any accrued benefits you can lose them this way, they may not need to take any action. For example, in New Zealand many employment contracts have an abandonment clause that basically says if you don't show up for 3 days, th

Tangentally related, I find it interesting that we often call people lucky when something very bad happened to them, but they somehow managed to survive the situation or land on their feet. We aren't as keen to describe people as lucky

I am also 'a little slow'. But the other side of that coin is that my code generally works correctly, and rarely (I wish I could say never) needs fixing later. My managers and customers know that my code will work 'as adverti

I flew gliders many years ago (briefly) and it seemed that IT was extremely overrepresented in the club. Also at my previous job I had 3 glider pilot colleagues in a team of about 18 developers. Climbing and cycling are fairly common among
