06:41.57 CIA-31 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * r30086 10/brlcad/trunk/TODO: pix-fb -p tested and works as documented, not calling the fb_close and exiting until after the sleep pause

15:58.54 ``Erik "I'm a programmer, I don't have to spell correctly; I just have to spell consistently."
16:24.48 Z80-Boy I have a question regarding international NDA
16:25.17 Z80-Boy Some company is offering a job and for the interview they are requiring me to sign a NDA. But the NDA contract party and the dispute venue (court) is specified in California.
16:25.38 Z80-Boy That means if there were any dispute (which can be without me doing actually anything wrong), I would have to travel to California?
16:25.42 Z80-Boy Possibly multiple times?
16:28.08 archivist overwrite the town to your town before signing
16:28.22 archivist and your countries law
16:28.28 Z80-Boy I asked for that
16:28.49 Z80-Boy And they said they will ask inside and then they returned with a reply it's not possible they cannot customize this contract.
16:29.07 Z80-Boy So I guess if I do that they won't permit me into the building
16:30.06 archivist heh are they worth working for
16:30.06 Z80-Boy Well Forbes Magazine claims is the #1 company in terms how nice it's to work there
16:30.22 Z80-Boy And multiple friends from the free software world say the same
16:30.25 Z80-Boy But they are secretive.
16:30.44 Z80-Boy The factical part of the NDA actually isn't overly restrictive for me. Just fine.
16:31.00 Z80-Boy Not Forbes Fortune 500 I think
16:33.29 archivist methinks the choice is yours (perhaps get local legal advice) especially any axtradition clases and agreements that the USA like to impose on countries
16:33.36 archivist clauses
16:34.16 Z80-Boy Another thing is they require a training in California so I would have to submit my fingerprints into the US system which I don't trust
16:35.15 Z80-Boy It's actually a warning sing of company inflexibility if they are unable to change that.
16:35.36 Z80-Boy I guess they don't need it at all because they can solve any disputes through their local subsidiary.

16:36.11 starseeker Boo
16:38.32 Z80-Boy Plus during the interviews I had a feeling like "try to do something a different way that we expect and you'll see things"
16:38.45 archivist ew
16:38.50 Z80-Boy Isn't that a bad sign?
16:39.00 Z80-Boy Bad gut feeling :)
16:43.00 archivist "you will comply" in Dalek voice
16:43.51 archivist but sometimes benefits outway the cons
16:47.26 Z80-Boy Well a probability needs to be estimated that Google generates a lawsuit even when I comply
16:47.46 Z80-Boy and then estimate a probability distribution of the number of court standings and multiply with airline cost
16:47.58 Z80-Boy and multiply that with airline safety qotient and human life value
16:48.09 Z80-Boy Then compare the result with the difference in salaries and benefits :)
