Or if fellow IT members don't agree with firing them. Or they give fired employee a heads up before the meeting. "Hey Chris, they just asked me to remove your access, something's up."
You basically need the IT head (who, if they can't be objective, can at least be counted on to be professional) in HR's office or on the phone before the fired employee leaves the room and make sure it's done.
That seems like a user error in maintaining supplies more than a widespread problem. All the sets I've seen in stores have a 1/4 and 1/8 measurement. And unless you're increasing something like yeast for a bread recipe, it's unlikely to destroy your dish if you go a little over or under on whatever measurement you're doing.
Here's another one that will take more than ten years but is already happening: the death of cooking (esp. baking) in U.S. volumetric units.
No-one in the younger generation thinks accurate digital scales are exotic any longer. And what if you want to make 50% more? And the original recipe calls for 1 1/2 tsp? Oh, dear. So what, apart from inertia, keeps us locked into this weirdly discrete measurement system?
Umm, hopefully we're still teaching basic math in the future. Like fractions. And multiplication.
Considering it's Microsoft, they'd find worse replacements for systemd, PulseAudio and Gnome3 and they'd not only be included by default, they'd be proprietary and written into the kernel so you couldn't remove them.
That assumes the hiring manager assumes female work is equal to male. The discrimination works in both ways, neither are women viewed as equal in work quality, but neither also in compensation worth. It's not someone just taking advantage of gender inequality in pay, it's a fundamental world view about gender inequality through and through.
Non-US Netflix is becoming more lucrative than US Netflix. Between The Expanse and Star Trek Discovery, I may have to find a good VPN to watch the stuff that being an American bars me from watching.
Short of the streaming-only shows, you can basically do that via iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and sometimes Vudu. It's the streaming exclusives that knock this out of whack, not to mention that you're going to pay exorbitant rates per episode.
No, they didn't, since that was a Klingon Bird of Prey. But they missed the TOS episode where the Enterprise winds up in Earth's atmosphere circa 1967.
That's my point. There's pressure in public school that doesn't exist in homeschooling, largely for the amount of attention that can be devoted to the individual student. That's why the grandparent's post doesn't hold much sway, they didn't experience the same pressure to be smart, hence they didn't need to cheat.
New spectrum is great, but it's going to be a while until most of their phones support it. And even brand new phones come out without supporting it (like the iPhone 8/X). So this does nothing for current phones out there or the customers using them for the foreseeable future.
Sounds like you're younger than me to have advanced classes in 5th grade.
We didn't have any concept of how this would affect our high school schedules or college prospects at the time, it was just work.
There's a tricky balance here. Either you tell kids from a very young age that everything they do impacts their future, or you let them have enough wiggle room to enjoy their childhood while trying to mitigate too many failures. There are cultures that place a high degree of pressure on their children for performance in school, like Japan, and it does make their students outperform ours on average. Yet there have been multiple studies done on how that pressure affects the children and their health in later life.
Where exactly we draw the line may need to be up to parents and different for every child. Which may become institutionalized if we ever embrace online learning as a substitute for classroom learning, it becomes much easier to tailor assignments to a specific child's abilities and dispense with the idea of honors or remedial classes altogether. There's a balance to be found between the social atmosphere and providing the right kind of individual attentions for students, but this could be a way forward both for schools (to dispense with performance-tied funding) and high/low performing students equally. What better way to temper the ego of an exceptionally smart child than to remove the immediate ability for them to compare against fellow students?
I could get a data connection when I'm outside of a big city or major thoroughfare. Rural areas are still T-Mobile's weak zones, and it's something I wish they'd focus a bit more of their efforts on. It's well established that if you want full coverage everywhere, the only choice is Verizon, but if T-Mobile were to actively work on solidifying their coverage they could change that perception and really have some ground to stand on as a competitor.
I'm not sure how true that is. I recall a few aptitude goals in middle school where students had a chance to produce strong results through a standard evaluation. I recall being measured on my reading level in 6th grade (it was a 10th grade reading level there) and that set me up for a non-reading class in 7th grade. My aptitude in math in 6th grade equally selected me for advanced math, which let me take algebra in 8th grade rather than 9th, and I declined to take AP Calculus in high school. In my experience, 6th grade seemed to be the defining grade versus 3rd or 5th. Not that your experience isn't valid, just different methods from different schools.
I'm certain that what I did in elementary school prepared me for the aptitude I displayed in 6th grade, but I'd think someone who had a marked change between elementary school and middle school could have been bumped up, as well as someone who displayed it later such as in 7th grade. Your basic point is correct, schools build on material and knowledge accumulated in the lower grades, and failing those will set up a student for failure later on. The "fail them and forget them" method, however, has come to bite schools in the ass with No Child Left Behind and other stigmatizing funding measures that take in standardized tests scores as merit requirements for funding levels. While this may poorly focus schools on testing material, it also motivates them to bring every student to a minimum level of achievement instead of giving up on them.
I loved when I got answers wrong on a test, because that marked something To focus on and learn better. A test passed too easily is a tough one to study for after passing it.
Also, since you're homeschooled, you can literally never fail a class. Kids who go to actual school have to worry about bad grades because it means they have to take a class over, or can't get into a more advanced class, or later into college.

Except Android's had the capability (in a weaker form, to be fair) since 2011.
It's easier to take off gloves for a quick auth than it is a hat, scarf, sunglasses, etc.

I'm sorry the world doesn't revolve around you. Better you learned that now than later.

Yes, I'm sure the white male dominance is threatened by 29% of the employee population at Oracle. Go find another tree to bark up.

Or it just speaks to a culture of discriminatory hiring practices?
Doesn't Lynx still work with Vista?

No kidding. Since when have Klingons cared about skin tone? They care about house and pedigree, not to mention honorable conduct.
Considering Trek has been off the air since 2005, what is dead may never die.

This. All of this. Dammit, you just put in words what I've felt for decades, but unable to properly articulate.
Those are basically gold to an elementary schooler, so yeah, same thing.
