The problem isn't hiring the 1 or one of the 1,000.
It's also not a problem if your 1001 qualified applicants were the entire pool of available applicants.
It's only a problem if you didn't fairly seek out qualified applicants. If you posted your job only on White World Magazine, then you've got a problem.
I worked for a company in the late 90's that was founded by a number of ex-military types. They started actively recruiting ex-military officers. While that certainly sounded to them like a great way to get like-minded people who had a good work ethic and shared their idea of structure and order, it skewed their candidate pool drastically toward white males. They weren't casting the net wide enough.
From a hiring perspective, that's all you have to do -- make sure you're casting the net wide enough, and then fairly choose the best applicants.
What you don't understand is that you're too dumb to read a webpage.
Zenni Optical has made a business selling cheap glasses, and the linked page lists all of the frames at $6.95 that include prescription lenses. Those are complete custom prescription eyeglasses for under $7. Shipping runs $5, scales nicely with multiple frames/lenses, but in all fairness also wasn't included in the Glass Explorer price.
Which means if they had meager 1,000 1.5Ghz machines at their disposal, they could have generated 1000 different facebookXXXXXXXX addresses in 25 days and picked the best one.
I'm just saying that the idea behind Glass is just that they become some sort of ubiquitous thing on your face. I forget I'm wearing my own eyeglasses pretty much constantly.
I'm saying that sometimes the best pirate version available of a film is a cam, and sometimes that's good enough -- at least for some number of people.
I posted this above, but the short version is that, yes, people are downloading and watching cam versions of films.
In the cases of some movies, it no doubt means some level of lost revenue.
Go to TPB, look at today's Movie torrents, and you'll see a lot of them are cams. Sort by most peers or most leechers, and you'll see a lot of cams as well.
This has been posted 10 times probably in this thread, but ideally an eyeglass wearing Glass wearer would just have one pair of glasses on their person most of the time. Most of us who wear eyeglasses keep a spare pair in the glove compartment if our prescription is severe enough, and you'd think that a Glass wearer would understand the social issues around Glass enough to keep another pair nearby, but if I went all-in on Glass, I probably wouldn't have another pair in my pocket - and despite allegations to the contrary, I don't carry a murse.
The idea behind Glass is that you just wear them. They become the norm.
Look, I'm with you. I agree that you should have the foresight to put on your normal glasses when you go to the theater - the same sort of foresight that says, "Hey, 3D movie, maybe I'll wear my contacts today, because 3D glasses." - but if you're all-in on Glass, you've probably just adapted to the fact that they're just your glasses.
Let's be honest. Go to the front page of TPB, click on movies, sort by most seeders or most leechers, and while most of the most active movies are DVD/BluRay/HDRIP, there's almost always cams of recent releases.
Some films, comedies, romcoms especially, can be perfectly watchable in cam version -- especially if you're just going to play Clash of Clans on your phone while you walisten to it anyway. Additionally, some people don't want to wait, and on a 21" computer monitor in a bedroom, lots of low-resolution movies become watchable.
Yes, and Netflix pays their direct service providers for their bandwidth.
When bandwidth leaves their direct provides and reaches, say, Comcast, where Comcast's customers have paid for internet service as well, Comcast (and others) refuse to deliver that data, because they're only getting paid to do so at least twice.
The MCSO:ACIU has "real" police staff, but is supplemented by posse members -- volunteer deputies, who do MCSO "easy lifting" like traffic control, mall parking lot patrols, and serving court orders to nonviolent offenders and deadbeat dads.
It's still important to remember that the MCSO "..has the responsibility of providing basic patrol, investigative and detention services to contract towns & cities and to the unincorporated communities within the county." -- meaning it just serves everything in Maricopa County that isn't a real city:)
Arpaio is pretty much regarded out here as as the devil we know.
You can cross the line all you want in Arizona, but as long as you're America's Toughest Sheriff, you can be reelected forever. He's tough on pretty much every hot-button issue out here. Immigration, animal abuse, deadbeat dads, you name it. We elected him 50-46 this time, his closest race ever, I believe, in his 22 years as Maricopa County's sheriff.
As a young man, I spend a week or two in Tent City when it first came into existence ('93). It sucked, but it didn't suck nearly as much as the temporary loss of freedom for being jailed.
When discussing him once before, someone posted some fairly awful stats for crime in MCSO jurisdiction. For those people not in Phoenix, the MCSO runs our county jails, but only provides policing for rural areas and unincorporated areas of town, which are, generally speaking, shitholes. If you see MCSO officers on Cops, rest assured they're in an armpit or asshole of Phoenix metro. Laveen and Guadalupe spring to mind.:( They also service a few county islands between cities along the river bottom, but that's a tiny fraction of their service area.
Arpaio is no doubt a dick, but he wears a target too, since he makes an easy punching bag for the left.
I have the pleasure of being a close friend of one of the people at AZDHS responsible for writing all of the medical marijuana rules. The entire process was fascinating, and I got a nice crash course in administrative law from him. When we voted for that law, it said, in short, "Hey, DHS has 180 days to figure out the rules, also, no funding for them, and....go!"
There's still some fantastic loopholes in the process, especially around caregivers.
As to the NPO part - every dispensary here has to be an NPO. So, they just have to create elaborate corporate structures that employ a lot of well paid people and buy a lot of corporate cars. Every dispensary winner (one winner in each CHAA, minus a few that got zoned into oblivion by locals) won the lottery, and now they get to grow sell what are essentially $6,000 a pound sun dried tomatoes. [If you have a dispensary, you can grow outside of your CHAA.] I worked for a decade and a half for an NPO, and I was paid well, so that's never been a problem.
And, completely aside, my crash course in administrative law happened parallel with using him as a resource about strip-mall poker parlors in Phoenix and the Bud Lee story. I got to learn about Chevron, and he got to enjoy anyone being interested in administrative law.:)
By analyzing data from more than 3,000 samples collected at 534 locations over 12 expeditions, they identified a 1,250-square-mile patch of the deep sea floor upon which 2 to 16 percent of the discharged oil was deposited.
Extract
we have identified a 3,200-km2 region around the Macondo Well contaminated by 1.8 ± 1.0 × 106 g of excess hopane. Based on spatial, chemical, oceanographic, and mass balance considerations, we calculate that this contamination represents 4–31% of the oil sequestered in the deep ocean.
Uh? At least 3200 km2 is about 1250 mi2. Is there a metric percentage conversion I'm unaware of?
Slashdot Mirror
It only runs in the black until Bill and Melissa (and Warren) finish dumping their live savings into it.
You could have easily given your kids 60BN by any number of creative means that didn't include giving 5BN/year away on things like malaria.
Cool story bro.
The B&MG foundation has already disbursed over 30BN, the majority of which came from Bill.
You're right. It is percentages.
Maybe the 40 billion he's given in trust to the B&MGF should be in your totals.

Gates has pretty much decided to give all of his money to the foundation by (and in the 10 years following) his and Melissa's death.
Oh, and the other richest guy in the world is on board with matching contributions in the form of BH stock.
Unless all guests are expected to have smartphones as a requirement of occupancy, I imagine you'll get plain old room keys too.
I am sure you meant "discrete" not "discreet", right Mr. Pedant?
My points are intentionally unobtrusive :(
I know we use data oddly in the language, but are we discussing discreet points of it, or does the quality of this data suffer?
I suppose "data" is "sand" and we don't count sands, but it still irks me.

I generally trust Guinness and their beers, but their new American Lager gives me pause.
More people running Tor potentially means more Tor exit nodes.
Who knows. Possibly a good thing.

I don't disagree there either.
I'm just saying that the idea behind Glass is just that they become some sort of ubiquitous thing on your face. I forget I'm wearing my own eyeglasses pretty much constantly.
I'm not suggesting it is.
I'm saying that sometimes the best pirate version available of a film is a cam, and sometimes that's good enough -- at least for some number of people.
They'd better be blocking it passively, with a Faraday theater of sorts, or we can all line up for our lawsuit.

He didn't have the $1506.95 to order Google Glass and order a pair of prescription glasses from Zenni Optical as a backup.

There's demand for cams of films.

The MCSO has an Animal Crimes Investigation Unit. As much as I wish that were the name of a new show on CBS, it's not :/

Fair enough.
Obviously the Catholic Church can choose to only hire, say, priests who're actually Catholic to lead masses.
If AIG posted the wrong job template, then, whatever, oops, our bad, sorry, we'll put up the right one ASAP, good catch.
["who're" is a fun word...]
Note to self: Make all of my businesses NPOs, giving myself a big salary, and skirt all sorts of laws. [e.g. every MJ dispensary in Arizona.]
