- Spotify is the worst.
EDIT: not any longer?
- I keep saying this: A company is a legal person, and you should not try to be loyal to a legal person because legal person can not be loyal to you,
You can, however, be loyal to your boss, and your boss can be loyal to you, as long as this does not conflicts with his duties to the company.
- People underestimate the economic side. This person probably earns 6 figures (if not, he should). Fixing this himself probably costed more than $1697 in his time.
Now imagine a service doing this, with a manager and all the overhead.
- Frustratingly the article makes no effort to explain what they mean by equal pay liability.
The same goes for something called "savings delivery rate" that supposedly dropped form 91% to 70%.
And the mentioned "£131 million" for the Oracle finance and human resources system, is that annual or lifetime?
- Just came here to say that Diaspora by Gregg Egan is my #1 book ever :)
- This is a campaign website done very well! I wish more websites were this informative.
- >Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University.
What does it mean to be a Shapiro Professor?
- To me, the biggest issue is the hostility of certain crowds that prevents us from discussing and exploring these phenomenons. There is this whole "women don't owe you sex" overreaction that is very quick to silence any discussion.
At the same time sexual satisfaction is strongly correlated with happiness (or depression) and both genders experience very different phenomena here.
- Overestimate compared to what? Compared to women's self reported preferences?
I ma going to read the study to find out :D
- And who is the source? Capitalism, the economic and political system? BS.
On Wikipedia, you can find that:
>Economic pressures of capitalism are driving the intensification of connection and monitoring [...]
Which is partly truism and partly straw-man. Truism because "Economic pressures" are "driving the intensification" of everything, yet we don't use terms [something]-capitalism anywhere else. And straw-man because capitalism is only one of many possible sources of economic pressure.
If all you want to is distinguish the source from state-actor surveillance then "for-profit surveillance" or even "surveillance marketing" are much more fitting terms.
- The term "surveillance capitalism" is needlessly loaded - it has nothing to do with capitalism, neither as economic nor as political system.
All it tells me is that whoever started it had a left bias and whoever is using it does not know any better.
- Because it almost never works.
- >and it usually is a he
My toxic boss (she) was a diversity hire (women in tech) with limited experience (fast tracked for management) but unlimited support from the top (diversity quotas). I ended up bullied out of the company with damaged mental health (anxiety attacks).
- >Math is a model of the universe
And I would dare to disagree right here. Math contains many structures that we don't know from our universe and that probably do not exist in our universe. If math is a model of universe, why is there a Mandelbrot set?
- Reminds me of how google moved maps.google.com to google.com/maps so that they can ask for location permission in your browser for the whole google domain.
- While the article talks about PROCESSED carbohydrates, the study talks about REFINED carbohydrates. What are these and how the impact differs from unprocessed or unrefined carbohydrates?
- Are you saying that we have evidence that universe is not infinite?
- > Since we know that infinite densities cannot actually happen in the universe...
Lol, and how exactly do we know that?
And not just with ghost jobs. My recent experience as a job seeker was harrowing - even with large, proud companies. I would pass multiple rounds of interviews with senior/director-level interviewers only to never hear back from the company - even after a direct request for an update or feedback. Just total ignorance. Again, this happened with a FAANG+ company.
