In the 1960s they had a saying, "Life ends at 30." Another one, "Don't trust anybody over 30."
The song Lather by Jefferson Airplane still gets played on the radio. It sounds like it is about a Special Person, but actually it is just about their drummer's 30th birthday.
I remember a study that they did in my area where they had business people meet with different actors impersonating business people, and then they gave them a survey about it. People in traditional business suits were viewed as untrustworthy. People in business-casual scored pretty well.
But the highest scoring outfit was blazer + tie + blue jeans + dress shoes. This is in the Pacific Northwest.
A similar study in California blue jeans scored really low, and blazer + tie + slacks + dress casual shoes scored at the top.
Telegrams were a thing for business clear up until cell phones were common. Even in the Pager Age they were still used.
The point was that it is like a cross between the mail, and a taxi. And in fact, the person actually delivering the telegram was probably a taxi driver. The telegram company prints the text, gives it to the taxi, and they go and find you and deliver it. So if it is a hotel or something, you don't need the exact address or even the exact name, just a close enough description to get them there. You might even be at a restaurant or something and they find you there and deliver it because they talked to the doorman at the hotel. Keep in mind, there was no internet or Google Maps.
Even once they could send a fax to the hotel it still kinda sucked, because "oh, you got a fax yesterday" wasn't a big deal. But everybody knew TELEGRAMS were IMPORTANT and so people would go to great lengths to find you if they knew you had one waiting. So sending a telegram to a prospective employee was a big "YOU'RE IMPORTANT TO US!!!" shout-out.
And to tell a Special Someone how important they are, they had singing telegrams, and you could send flowers with an attached telegram. That is what people had to do before animated cat gifs.
The part I don't understand is, "Managers should." This seems a bit like an underpants gnome exercise, with backwards phrasing. Underpants yoda, I guess.
In other news, 83% of surveyed professionals said they would feel positive about being assigned a private business jet, and 92% would feel positive about being given a free car. Only 7% had positive feelings about receiving a pony as a signing bonus.
98% of managers felt positive about hiring employees who read and comprehended the contact instructions in the job listing and conformed their normal practices to the requested procedure.
83% of executives requested a meeting to discuss the company policy regarding use of cellphones during work after having heard of this study.
You: "No, calm down, there is no zombie apocalypse. See, look at the test results: It says the same thing that I expected it to, just off by one word. Therefore, it can only be typo. CRISPR would never intentionally change just one word. If it was a design bug, everything about the result would be different."
Groups that rarely have birth records are rarely recorded with verified ages.
Groups that have good records, have individuals who reach the same old ages as humans anywhere else today. The average is slightly reduced, and surely there is an increased period of reduced health at the end of life.
If they drink a lot of alcohol, their lifespans will be substantially reduced. Drinking is a much bigger lifestyle problem than living in the jungle eating grubs, from a health perspective.
If you ever eat food sold by a company, you should probably become aware of the existence of recalls and what the dangers of eating recalled food might be.
I just wish they'd at least make it smart enough that if over 90% of the time a user is clicking the link to really search for what they typed, then it would default to searching what they really typed and offering the correction in the link.
In the old days there was a sort of technical search language that I could use to search for specific things, and then they got rid of it. Bastards!
The claim that "130,000 years ago basically no one survived past about 30" is not only idiotic, it is laughable.
First of all, the study was only on the teeth of Neandertals. And it claims, "In the Neanderthal culture there were just four adults past the age of 30 for every 10 young adults." OK, 4 over 30 to 10 under 30 is NOT the same "basically nobody." I'm not going to complain about people not understanding statistics, because these numbers are small enough you shouldn't need statistics to understand it.
Second, you missed the whole fucking point of the study which was: "However, when researchers turned to the European humans of the early Stone Age, they discovered that the ratio of older to younger adults was 20 to 10, meaning that many people were now living to have grandchildren."
Your horse shit about agriculture just shows you don't know when or where agriculture began, when the early Stone Age was, or what the difference between Neandertals and other Humans in Europe would be.
Normally I would encourage a person to try again, but please, do yourself a favor, stop trying; you don't understand anthropological information even when you find a weak media report about a study.
You're just wrong, you fail to comprehend actual life expediencies of adults. Even after it is pointed out that child mortality skews the statistics, you still fall back on it. You're claiming that "antibiotics, dentistry, drugs, and what not" adds over 30 years to the life expectancy of people who lived to adulthood. It doesn't.
Nothing was misquoted, which you'd understand if you could comprehend the meaning of a quote.
Your claim is not even self-consistent; do you think I quoted something, or do you think I said something slightly different? And did it have quotes? So it was different, and without quotes or reference? It isn't even possible to be a misquote.
There are lots of other potential meanings you could consider that are self consistent, though.
You remind me of some CRISPR-head who ignores the dangers merely because they didn't think of them or include them in planning.
First of all, most of my "computers" are not Intel systems, so your idea that they represent everything with "legitimacy on a computer" is absurd. It is impossible for it to be true, and it is silly and stupid on its face.
Next, go and read the link. Understand it from a technical perspective. Then come back and talk to us here. You've come to a place where people understand those scary words you linked to.
I'll give you the short version of what it says: 1) Intel is not very responsive to people who, in their own words, "were not so polite about our viewpoint" 2) If you turn on remote administration features, your device can be remotely administered and local bugs become remote bugs. Who knew?! But like your link says, "This flaw is remotely exploitable only if you have AMT turned on." The remote aspect is what is moot, because unless you're a company with an army of full-time sysadmins you shouldn't even have considered turning it on. And if you do have them, then there is a patch. 3) Local exploits are not a serious threat to serious people or serious systems, because you don't run random third party code on important systems. Yeah, if you download windows executables you will get p0wned. This doesn't change that. The this is, if you're intentionally running dangerous code, you get p0wned anyways, even without something like this that escalates the problem.
This is an exploit in the same way that ability to run a BIOS firmware update with normal administrator permissions was an exploit. It is a reason some people might buy a different brand, but some of us were already buying a different brand.
In the 90s people who wanted a nice BIOS would buy one. I personally really liked Phoenix BIOS, though most systems shipped with American Megatrends. The internet says they're both making UEFI systems these days, along with others. Also, the internet lists a bunch of non-intel CPUs that are supported, such as ARM, which is more popular than not just Intel, but the whole x86 family.
If you're vulnerable to local exploits... you're already vulnerable to local exploits! No bug is actually required for that, assuming you have permissions to do useful work on the computer.
I don't know about now but in the early 90s my school had 5 minutes between classes, and lunch was the same length as classes because lunch periods were staggered.
Anybody with an art, language, or drama class scheduled next to a science, health, or PE class would have to run to make it.
When I was in grade school I usually brought a home-made lunch with home-baked whole grain hippie bread, vegetables, fruit, etc.
Some kids thought it was weird, but it didn't cause me any troubles. Their lunches weren't exactly anything to brag about, so even if it was less common there was no stigma at all. Lots of kids, probably "most" kids, brought a lunch. But usually most of it was packaged convenience food, or white bread + processed lunch "meat."

If you're scared to retain documents related to your hiring practices, you're doing it wrong.
If you're doing it right, those documents all cover your ass!

Unfortunately, you were unable to read the chart labeled "Figure 1," and so you don't realize that that citation verifies my claim.

Well, you're certainly welcome to consider oranges separately from the apples. They have lots of interesting qualities.

I like the S though, I used to run Win 3.11 with the 32s extensions. Kept me from having to use Windows 95.
Windows 10 has way bigger problems than an S.
If you ever eat food sold by a company, you should probably become aware of the existence of recalls and what the dangers of eating recalled food might be.
Then good news, flash drives usually have fat32 filesystems.
But if you plug it into the wrong thread, you're probably p0wned and should destroy the device.
