A 1971 supreme court case named Griggs vs Duke Power found that if an employer engaged in their own employee or applicant skills testing, and that testing was found to result in racial discrimination, then the empoloyer was guilty of racial discrimination even though that was not their intent.
This is not true. The ruling was against tests which are not applicable to job performance. You're suggesting otherwise, with your "applicant skills testing" description.
Nope. He said "Women, on average, have more: Neuroticism (higher anxiety, lower stress tolerance)..." which is (1) not proven, and (2) probably not true. Once I saw this DIRECT QUOTE from his essay, there was no need to waste my time reading the rest. I could write an incredibly thought-provoking essay on race relations, which happened to include "White men, on average, are more: Racist..." and 97.3% of all of you would tune out.
Let it go man, he fucked up. There are millions of white guys with the same views. Yall aren't going anywhere.
Back when Linux distributions were sold in stores, I bought a boxed version of SuSE from Best Buy for $35. I installed Postfix, but everytime I did an update Postfix was replaced by Sendmail. Very annoying. So I sold it on Ebay (yes, forreal!) for $10 or so. Those were the days...
If you're in the US, you can make credit union ATM withdrawals from 7-eleven stores for free. This is one of the killer features of credit unions, in addition to allowing you to keep a low balance without charging fees. I don't understand why poor people bank at Wells Fargo or Bank of America when they charge you for having a low balance in your checking account. I used to bank at both, got treated like crap by their reps, and moved on.
"Competing for [low-end service workers] via wages/benefits would drive our costs through the roof, which would in turn make our services so expensive that nobody could afford them."
Especially at Mar-a-Lago, which is frequently visited by poor and middle class vacationers.
Yet still your example suggests that customers, not employers, suffer, which boosts the GP's argument. Sorry, but businesses should be rejoicing about the higher minimum wage since this study claims they get more money. But we all know this is bullshit.
Third party replacement cartridges are already legal, and are being sold openly on mainstream websites, for years. Nothing is changing. They won't lose anything because the SCOTUS ruling preserves the status quo.
Some things you only realize when you have to grade students' programs. Clueless programmers cheat in clueless ways, of course, because if they were clever at hiding that they copied, they could just use this skill to write the programs on their own. Also, the anti-cheating programs we use are way more sophisticated than inept programmers. I use the excellent VPL Moodle plugin (https://moodle.org/plugins/mod_vpl) which has this built-in.
Want a Job in Silicon Valley? Keep Away From Coding Schools: https://www.bloomberg.com/news...
This isn't the whole story, of course, because there are good schools, and not all jobs are in Silicon Valley. But once the government starts providing tuition for these places, lots of these "coding schools" with low quality and high tuition will pop up everywhere.
Good choice! Always get math degrees, undergrad and grad. It's much harder to get a top-notch math education outside of school. You're going to have to get permission from the profs to take CS classes in the engineering school at UCLA, but do it too!
An implementation like this which is so thoroughly understandable with such a short description on Slashdot might be experimental, but not like BTRFS raid. This software might have bugs, but it sounds like most competent systems programmers can debug it in a few hours. People are more comfortable with implementations of simple, neat ideas like this than millions of lines of filesystem code.
Wow, man, they're all over you with poor assumptions. Sometimes it's hard for people to accept that someone they don't know can do brilliant things. Good luck, and keep programming!
Linus is an amazing designer and coder. In my opinion, Git is waaaaay more important than Linux. This is what makes him a genius. The systemd maintainers, while very smart, are not at his level. So they have to suffer for any and all imperfections like the rest of us.
I was OK with systemd from the start, when it didn't get in my way. I even use it with direvent for automatically processing documents whenever they are updated. But lately, I've been having strange-to-diagnose errors on boot with certain USB peripherals, and I really don't enjoy wasting time looking up fixes. systemd in Debian Jessie makes it hard to recover from a boot problem, so I'm going to look at Devuan. Now, I don't expect Devuan to be a suitable replacement, but I'm going to try it nonetheless.
Being highly paid but nevertheless unable to do your job. This is honestly not a hypothetical. If you have a staff that can cover for you, for years, then you definitely are successful.
Also, Donald Trump.

He spent more money on his suit than the average person spends on a lifetime of coffee.

Nice!
I'll never use Ubuntu, but I use Gnome. This sounds like a great way to get all the irritating bugs in Gnome fixed, indirectly.

It makes the population greater (in number) than it was before. You must be new here!

Any group of children must have an adult chaperon, which means the adults must get clearance as well as the children for any of them to come at all.

Wait, so because of this case, I now have to reduce my licensing fees?

They're so disturbed by the idea of on-the-job training they don't even realize they're doing it.
Wow! We have courses to train our employees how to use our tools and data! How revolutionary! This is some real 21st century shit!
no more wrong orders because Laqueesha was thinking about her boyfriend and pressed the wrong key
Can't you just let this racist shit go?

My parents only helped me pay for school (half me half them). Other than that, I made my own wealth.
Yeah, and Warren Buffet gave me a million dollars to invest in the stock market. Other than that, I made my own wealth.
