After amassing data from thousands of technical interviews, the company noticed a troubling trend, writes founder Aline Lerner in a blog post: "Men were getting advanced to the next round 1.4 times more often than women. Interviewee technical score wasn't faring that well either -- men on the platform had an average technical score of 3 out of 4, as compared to a 2.5 out of 4 for women."
It is completely inexplicable that people that did better on the technical portion of the interview process (men) were more likely to advance to the next round of interviews than people that did worse on the technical portion of the interview process (women)! This obviously proves that the tech industry is sexist! (Or, perhaps, technical ability is an important factor in hiring programmers?)
*Europe* is a very densely-populated area while *America* has great swaths of sparsely-populated regions, some as big as entire European nations.
What if we compare, say, New England to (Old) England? Is the disparity still as great? I think not...
If the Senate 'convicts' you of high crimes, you are not hauled off to Senate Prison, you can then be impeached, censured, etc.
A Senate 'conviction' is merely a vote of the Senators, not a court case.
public libraries (Those are large houses of stone where people go to read stuff)
Thank that old-time socialist Benjamin Franklin for creating the first public library.
(Not everything on the daily kos is true/accurate - hard to believe, I know)
It is - high school nurses hand them out, everyone on 'Obamacare' gets free contraception, public healthcare clinics (like planned parenthood) give condoms away for free, major chain drugstores sell one month birth control prescriptions for less than $10.
With nearly 40 percent of all pregnancies in the United States unintended, birth control is a critical public health issue.
Not birth control, self-control is the critical public health issue. Come on, we know what causes pregnancies, men and women choose to engage in that activity, and it's a surprise when 'life finds a way'?
That's like saying toll house cookies are the unintended outcome for buying a tube of dough, spooning it on to a greased tray, and baking it in an oven...
No, 50K pages, not 50K emails... And we know how many pages there were because her lawyers 'helpfully' printed each out as PDFs that had to be scanned and indexed.
Really? Look, I'm no fan of the govt, but I seriously doubt that the email admin for the State Department, The State Department of the United States, is incompetent.
Now the person that set up Clinton's open email system in her bathroom, yeah. I believe he was incompetent.
The guy that set up Hillary's email server and managed it as a contractor was soon hired by The State Department as a political appointee (the first IT worker ever hired as a political appointee).
Yes, the wealthier will pay a lower proportion of their income as taxes, but why is it relevant? They will still pay more taxes
Simple facts:
Individually the wealthy pay a far-greater percentage of their income as income taxes. (47% of tax filers either pay no income taxes or PROFIT off the tax code, getting more in refunds than they paid in during the year)
Collectively the Wealthy pay the largest percentage of all income taxes collected (top 1% pays 38% of ALL income tax dollars collected)
The average anti-one percenter confuses the top rate paid on the last dollar earned with the percentage of their income collected in taxes. (No wage-earner, as a practical matter, pays 35% of their income in income taxes - the average tax payer pays about 11% of their income in taxes, after factoring in all their 'loopholes', I mean tax deductions like home mortgage interest, medical bills, etc.)
Replace it with what? It's perfectly reasonable to talk about reigning-in a rouge agency like the NSA, but it actually provides a valuable and necessary service.
The party of small government insists on creating an expensive program for a problem that doesn't really exist.
How do you members of the (apparently) 'big government' imagine we can detect voter fraud without checking a voter's ID? How is it racist and discriminatory to check for ID before allowing someone to vote, yet it's OK to require someone to present an ID before being allowed into a speech from the attorney general where he tells us it is racist and discriminatory to check a voter's ID?
Eric Holder did that gave a speech denouncing voter ID laws, but to attend the speech you had to present ID.
IIRC there's research showing that the rich are more likely to break the law.
There are vastly more laws for 'rich' folks to violate:
The unemployed can't cheat on their taxes
The poor tend to not have cars, removing moving violations
You don't have to be rich to commit a crime with great impact - the Orlando shooter bought $1,000 worth of guns and ammo.
However, seven states who implemented drug testing for tax benefit program recipients spent $1 million on drug testing from the inception of their programs through 2014. But the average rate of drug use among those recipients has been far below the national average -- around 1% overall, compared with 9.4% in the general population -- meaning there's been little cost savings from the drug testing program. Why? "Probably because they can't afford it," says Moore. "We might really save some money by drug-testing folks on Wall Street, who might have a little cocaine before they get their deal done," she said, and proposes a bill requiring tests for returns with itemized deductions of more than $150,000. "We spend $81bn on everything -- everything -- that you could consider a poverty program," she explained.
So 1% of $81BN isn't enough savings to implement drug testing on welfare recipients that cost several states $1M since the drug testing programs went into effect.
If 50 states each spent $1M/year on drug testing, and the same 1% failure rate persists, that should invalidate 1% of the $81B we spend on welfare programs, or about $810M.
So spending $50M to save $810M isn't a worthwhile investment?
Really?
Most companies would love to become 'the Microsoft' of their industry.
Every OEM has been told by Intel "If you buy from anyone other than us, then, in the future, you may find that we are unable to supply you with the parts you need"
Those bastards! Publicly admitting to treating loyal customers that exclusively use only their parts better service! BTW, "every OEM" I am aware of has offerings that use both AMD and Intel CPUs.
Including computers capable of out-of-band communication and control of the local machine has been a staple of server design for DECADES - corporate desktops have included this facility for years as well.
This is nothing more than yet another server technology migrating to end-user desktops.
It is fascinating that the article describes this as 'secret' yet includes links to public pages on intel's website that document this over 8 years ago.
This statement is about a perp who called 911 and proclaimed himself an agent of ISIS
I eagerly await the federal gov't say that they aren't sure, because they can't locate his Isis ID card - until they have proof he's involved with Isis it's a case of workplace violence.
In fact when I first saw "Shooting at gay nightclub" this morning my first assumption was that some anti-gay marriage person had gone off their rocker.
So you assumed a Christian went out and killed dozens because of their religious beliefs... I wonder why you didn't jump to the conclusion that a Muslim extremist had 'gone off their rocker'?
Perhaps it's OK to blame Christians when something bad happens, but you never want to jump to the conclusion that a Muslim commuted an act of terrorisim.
BTW, we now know the shooter called 911 and told them he was going to kill in the name of ISIS - there really is no doubt about this case being domestic terrorisim.
God help us if anyone asks why someone on a watch list can pass a Federal Background check for a gun purchase...
He wasn't on a watch list, he was interviewed several times, but it was decided he wasn't a threat each time.
In one instance, his go-workers reported him to the FBI for pledging his support of Isis, but somehow his employer (which helped him get a concealed carry permit) claims to have been completely surprised that he was possible if such an attack.
In Britain, this sort of thing would probably be dealt with in a Small Claims Court, and would cost next to nothing for the defendant to represent himself.
Pretty sure Indiana, and every other state in the union have a small claims court... It isn't a novel concept the 'dumb colonialists' have yet to adopt...
That doesn't explain why the courts of this particular area kept allowing an obvious legal troll to keep filing follow-ons to a case that he lost at the outset.
He has the right to file as many appeals, follow-ons, and other motions as he likes... It isn't up to the whim or personal opinion of the judge... Do you think it should be? Do you want the judge to the gatekeeper to who is allowed to file and what they can file?
