Ducking it wasn't very helpful, what's the 9th circuit? Is it a court of appeals of some kind?

The Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit is an appeals court that covers basically the entire west coast of the United States within it's jurisdiction. As a result of that, it covers a lot of copyright cases and has a lot of it's own copyright jurisprudence that doesn't automatically apply in other circuits. (Notably, Oracle v. Google would have taken half the time it should have been had it not included patent claims, which moved what should have been a 9th Circuit case into Federal Circuit jurisdiction.)

Thanks for clarifying!

Hey, at least that one's out, now.

I'm not GP, but many Asian cultures apparently have a much more blunt culture than many "western" countries.

I agree. There are also huge individual differences. I have a military background and we generally don't "gift wrap" our feedback. "This bad because X" is constructive, helpful and to the point, and it doesn't mean that the person receiving the feedback is incompetent. Some people seem to take it that way.

Accepting failure is integral to learning and growth, but a key part of that is identifying the weak points and learning from them.

It's like the webpage version of the S8 GoT battle. No photons were harmed in the making of this product, cause none were involved.

I mean sure, it's possible that the dots were available and made the investigation much easier, but it sounds like they would have probably caught her regardless. Especially considering her computer had connected to The Intercept. Amazingly bad opsec on her part, not to mention that she didn't remove the tracking dots herself.

Only data you have provided, both directly (entered name) and indirectly (e.g. page views). Analyses generated by the company based on that data aren't included in the insight right. I would presume both facebook and google have a lot of data that fall in the exempt category.

In Norway you're required by law to take four weeks and a day vacation every year. Almost everyone has five weeks vacation time in total. Both you and your employer can demand that three of those are continuous during summer, and most of the country shuts down three weeks in July.

In Australia it is 4 weeks minimum (and 10 days for sick/carers leave). The leave accumulates if you don't take and have to be paid out as per your finally pay if you leave the company. Since it is a liability on balance sheet most companies will demand you to take leave if you have accumulated over 20 days. You can also ask to cash out any leave more than 20 days.
