"Unsolicited" does not mean "unwanted". Both are ridiculous standards, but getting around "unsolicited" is impossible (_someone_ has to start the dance) whereas getting around "unwanted" merely requires reading minds.
Most reasonable people will take being asked out by someone appropriate (ex: not their boss, not someone they work directly with) but are not interested in by saying no and leave it at that.
Or they'll go and cry in the hallway, and this will be used as prima facie evidence that the asker was in the wrong, and no one will dare point out how ridiculous this is for fear of being seen as beating up on a crying woman.
New Jersey tech was doing fine, doing boring, staid, telecomm work until AT&T was broken up; the remnants continued on until the recovery of NYC, which really finished off NJ tech.
Yeah, the whole epi-pen thing is blatant rent-seeking. Get your product legally required, get alternatives stuck in regulatory and patent limbo, jack up the price and rake in the bucks.
After all, one of the worst things you can do an opponent is make them live by the rules they made...
That only works against honorable opponents, or if you have an honorable authority to appeal to. Here, there's neither; Google will happily ignore complaints about videos expressing hate against white males even when they contravene its own rules.
Agreed. And kudos to ABC for telling the extortionists to stuff it. To reward them, I will not watch the pirated show.
(OK, I won't watch it on ABC either, but... details, details).
"Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane."
"In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable what then? "
Yeah, and this demonstrates the CoC pushers aren't serious about Codes of Conduct actually being important. They're just another tool they want to punish those who refuse to toe the line. If those don't work, as in this case, they punish anyway. Larry committed no Code of Conduct violation. He got thrown out because his _beliefs_ (not conduct) didn't align with those of Dries. And that's OK, according to a few SJWs on this thread. Straight up thoughtcrime, no pussyfooting around about conduct.
Google can't be fool enough to think that not actually having a pay gap means they can get off, can they? Richilieu's maxim applies as well or better to statistics as it does to any other testimony; Google can bring its analysis into court showing no wage gap, the Department of Labor can bring theirs, and who is the DoLs own Administrative Law Judge going to believe?
It'd be sad, if Google didn't support this kind of thing as applied to everyone else.
They need to learn that your not in the right when you lean that heavily left. The left have a habit of eating the previous generation and Google just found out that it's the previous generation now.
They'll never learn. As the bullet is entering their brain, they'll still be loving Big SJW.
By 20 years ago, they were cranking out the grads just as fast as they could turn the handle. By 10 years ago, they'd noticed that quality was an issue and introduced some basic rigour into their courses.
And yet a lot of those grads still couldn't write fizzbuzz in a language of their choice, nor analyze the algorithmic complexity of pretty much anything, nor write a depth-first-search to save their life, etc.
However, I think we can all agree that the streets and highways are considerably safer and there are fewer accidents precisely because every driver has not only been given driving training in actual traffic by an instructor but also because that instructor gave his student driver a thorough grounding in the traffic rules and laws followed by a written and practical test to confirm that person was paying attention.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, oh that's funny.
Wait, you're serious?
My driver's test was 10 question multiple choice, parallel parking, and a drive around the block. Literally around the block, all right turns. The parallel parking was in a spot sized for a full-sized American car (e.g. a Plymouth Fury); I used a Toyota Corolla.
That's odd. I thought that if your college application included a bio about being a minority abused child who evacuated refugees from Syria using your own homemade soapbox racer, the Ivy League schools would be fighting over you.

Of course it's a negotiation. Think telecom protocol negotiation, not haggling.
> Oh yes let's forget all about J&J turning New Brunswick into a biotech center.
I'm talking about silicon based tech, not that squishy carbon-and-water junk.
I find that Figure 1 works fine.

It never was female dominated.

When that happens, it's the end of medical innovation full stop. Who else is going to do it? Europe? Africa? The Middle East? Russia or China?

What is it about extremely rich people and extremely large airplanes made of organic material?
Agreed. And kudos to ABC for telling the extortionists to stuff it. To reward them, I will not watch the pirated show. (OK, I won't watch it on ABC either, but... details, details).
Oh, yeah, absolutely. It's the government I think of when I want something inexpensive and high quality.
Spotted the hipster. Calbees chips have the same calorie content as American chips.
If only there were a way to move potatoes from areas where they are plentiful (say, Idaho) to areas experiencing a shortage. But, no, it's impossible.
Yah, first such viewpoint would be "Perhaps it's time for another Hitler".

I just go to the mall and use the wrong escalator until security shows up. That's when it's time to practice sprinting.
"I want to replace this turkey with something of lasting value before my net worth drops too much" is still a "personal reason"

Yeah, or something.
