Not only does fear of lawsuits prevent companies from disclosing no-hire reasons, it prevents them from even recording those reasons internally.

Exactly! So let's just pick that one thing, and then invent some "guidelines" that totally won't prevent anything like that ever, but allow you to arbitrarily censor people with the wrong opinions. Awesome! War against "harrassment", mission accomplished!
Not expiring is a big deal, it is a lot different for Congress to have to affirmatively act to change the law, rather than the law expiring on a certain date if Congress does nothing.

We use Google Photos for exactly this. We have an account that is separate from our personal accounts that we share. That account is on all of our devices and all photos upload to it directly. We pay for 1TB of storage ($10/month) Easy to share albums w/ fam and friends. Also crazy good search - like ' photos of [son's name] and [wife's name] at the beach in may' will return photos of ... exactly that. With no tagging.

I didn't return their modem and they are attempting to collect all kinds of fees and taxes on the sale of the modem (the gateway fee is expected, they appear to have applied service taxes to the sale of the gateway). After arguing with customer service and att supervisors and refusing to pay the 20%+ tax/fees (sales tax in my county is 9% and they continue to tell me to discuss with my local county), I am submitting a dispute to their shady collections partner. More effort than the $33.09 they are attempting to collect but it really struck a nerve that I have to assume most suck up and pay...

IMHO that's sad, really. If they focus on things like that, it either means that they feel they don't have much more to bring in their original activity (A.I., networks and computer science), or that they have lost interest in these subjects and want to focus more on "saving lives". Kind of like Bill Gates and his philanthropic activity post-Microsoft.

> So yeah, you can fire the customer

You absolutely cannot ban a customer from your service 99.9% of the time as front-level support. You often can't even put the phone down except in certain pre-defined situations which are decided on without actually communicating with front-line support, never mind groups which might have specific issues within your front-line support team. Harassment is expected and you're expected to deal with it, whether gender-based or not. The best you can do is try to deflect them, as you say, and let them do exactly the same thing next time.

If there were actually consequences to harassing people, few would do it - but as it is, in many cases, from small companies to large ones, retaining the customer is more important than your employees.

Depends on the state.

My aunt and uncle used to live in Bronxville, a suburb of NYC (it's part of Eastchester, which is in turn part of Westchester... NY municipal areas are confusing). They moved out in 2003, in large part because they were paying $25k/year in property taxes and they were both retired empty-nesters.

When they told this to me and my mom, we both thought it was insane. I was born in Texas, and my mom has lived in Texas since 1979. I'm not a homeowner myself (I rent a townhouse), but my mom is, and her property taxes in Dallas are around the same as what you paid in London.

This is one of the reasons I intend to stay in Texas for the rest of my life. Northern coastal cities are just completely insane in terms of expenses. New York is a wonderful place to visit, but I'd never live there.
How does Prop 13 work? The people who wrote that paper are saying that it is a subsidy; absolutely not. The tax rate is frozen, so as I understand it, the person simply pays a lower rate, it is not a system where a tax is paid and then has it refunded to them.

I am going to be highly critical of an economic research paper that looks at a tax as a subsidy, so here we go:

1. A tax rate lower because of a law than your neighbor is not a subsidy. A child deduction on an IRS form is not a subsidy.

2. The average length of stay for a home owner was increased by .11 years for Bakersfield, 2 years for Los Angeles, and 3 or more year for the Bay Area. Bakersfield, as far as I know, has no rent control, so there is an argument that this is essentially a rounding error. Los Angeles and the Bay Area are rent control cities, no where in the paper is this brought up as an externality forcing the longer periods of tenure ownership.

3. Table 1A shows that rental tenure increased from 4.30 to 5.25 years from 1970 to 2000, this is essentially the same increase as that of 10.76 years to 13.42 years for the home owners; 24.7% for the home owners and 22.1% for the renters. This should invalidate pointing to Prop 13 as the reason for longer owner stays.

4. Florida and Texas pass the same law and the paper simply says, forget them. The two states, Florida and Texas, go on to show that there is no impact from Prop 13, thus further invalidating their study.

5. Not one mention of rent control being a reason why people may not want to move out of their existing dwelling and purchase a home.

This may be a good paper to reference as a point, it is a horrible paper by ignoring externalities, comparable examples, and not examining differences between areas (Bakersfield vs. Los Angeles vs. San Francisco).

It is clearly written at the bottom of every receipt.
Personally, I think the biggest mistake everyone's making when it comes to video game and art (and which is being made in this article) is that 'art' is somehow only a thing when it's the one goal of a work's production. That somehow, only more obscure games made to be 'artistic' can be 'art'.

Do these people somehow think Shakespeare made his works to be studied or admired rather than enjoyed by general audiences? That works by people like Charles Dickens and Jane Austen were made to be studied in literature class?

But that's not true. A lot of games are 'art'. They're not intended to be such (or have that as their only motivation for existing), but they show the same kind of meaning and quality of design and what not as any artistic indie game you can think of. For example, a lot of people would say games ranging from Super Mario Bros to Psychonauts to Half Life to the Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask are 'art', but none of them were made specifically to be as such.

Games are already art, they're just not marketed as such.
Cover Your Glass: A Lesson in Design Trades
I lived in Vancouver (proper) for many years and as a developer $70k is a joke. Even moreso now that the Canadian dollar is hovering around 70 cents.

I now live in a city where the cost of living is substantially lower, and I make substantially more (about 100k). I could make more, but I don't have to. I spend about half my time traveling, something every Vancouver person aspires to do and yet never does. Leaving that city was the best choice I ever made.

Certainly I will visit in the future but I will never move back.
At the risk of posting in a topic that I have a professional interest in --

this is the entire point. You aren't getting enough activity in your day. Now, personally I think the emphasis on steps is a little overblown -- and no the "right" metric is not necessarily heart rate. Instead people need to be thinking in terms of a balanced budget of activity, calorie intake, and nutrition. You won't get a good outcome unless you're balancing all of those. What you find when you really try hard to do this is that the baseline activity level for most sedentary workers is incompatible with any kind of "normal" American diet while still getting adequate nutrition. Increasing the activity level is part of the puzzle, but you need to be thinking holistically for it to actually work well.
Whoever smelt it dealt it.
I wouldn't say that's implied. That's why it's so difficult.

EDIT: In fact, I'd say the opposite is implied.

"Steps" is a coarse metric, it just happens to be rather easy to measure compared to other biometrics.

Side note, most counters estimate your step length based on your height, weight, age, gender, and also allow you to program your step length manually if you like.

>2. Soo... how do latina/white women magically end up in a lesser-paying profession?

For Latina's, it is an SES issue. Having poor parents negatively impacts life opportunities.

As for the difference between women and men, society puts more pressure on men to be the primary income earners, which is one reason men take on vastly more dangerous jobs and work longer hours. Men are also pressured to take far less time off for children, and single men have less access to having children than single women, thus increasing the pay they earn over the lifetime of a career.

>the traditionally oppressed groups -- just happen to have lower-paid fields?

Why do men generally have the far more lethal fields?
I don't suspect users here have conscious ulterior motives. I think that ____ (insert one of {media, communists, political elites, liberals, aliens, etc}) have conditioned knee-jerk language-policing. This has the side-effect of taking the current thread off topic while muting substantive discourse in this and future posts.

The dictionary attack has been practiced in media for a long time. Watch a famous 50s news anchor interview an atheist author (I can think of specifics, but I don't want to bias you). Back then it was obvious they were distorting what the interviewee was saying. The viewing audience wasn't stupid, they were complicit because they didn't agree with the atheist. Today this goes on, and occurs so regularly that no one cares if someone deliberately misunderstands something in order to be outraged. Actually whats even more telling is that this technique is a standard way to "communicate" political messages - just watch the campaigners.

I learned this dictionary problem while managing a startup with some employees who used a different dictionary than I. I'd say 80% of the conflict at work was due I say X while the other understood X'

This is not a good way to implement clz. There are nice branch-free methods for these:

/* Count no. trailing zeros */

int ntz(unsigned x)
{
/* Set all trailing zeros to ones */
/* And clear leading zeros */
x = ~x & (x - 1);
/* Now get population count */
x = x - ((x >> 1) & 0x55555555);
x = (x & 0x33333333) + ((x >> 2) & 0x33333333);
x = (x + (x >> 4)) & 0x0F0F0F0F;
x = x + (x >> 8);
x = x + (x >> 16);
return x & 0x3F;
}

/* Count leading zeros */
/* log2(x) is 31-nlz(x) */

int nlz(unsigned x)
{
/* Make all bits to the right of the first 1 a 1 */
x |= (x >> 1);
x |= (x >> 2);
x |= (x >> 4);
x |= (x >> 8);
x |= (x >> 16);
/* Make all bits to the left 1s */
x = ~x;
/* Population count */
x = x - ((x >> 1) & 0x55555555);
x = (x & 0x33333333) + ((x >> 2) & 0x33333333);
x = (x + (x >> 4)) & 0x0F0F0F0F;
x = x + (x >> 8);
x = x + (x >> 16);
return x & 0x3F;
}

You would think that's the case but from experience it's not. I can name two hospitals in NYC that were supposed to see savings from EHR implementations but ended up having multiple competing EHRs that don't speak to each other because of conflicts of interest. You forget there in many cases there are many payors, tech vendors and providers within a single institution.

> The whole XPCOM and XUL legacy API cruft do hurt Firefox.

I'd argue the exact opposite - that "cruft" is the reason I still use Firefox. Extensions are so much better because they can truly have native features and have deep access to the browser. From the native look and feel of the LastPass extension of Firefox to basic stuff I need like sidetabs are only possible because of this deep "legacy" API rather than the extremely limited web based APIs everyone's pushing for these days.

Kill XPCOM and XUL and you kill the only reason I still use Firefox.

At least in the current state of things, nothing to say they won't improve the web-style extension APIs at some point but they're really not ready yet in my opinion, they've got a long way to go and leave a lot to be desired.

Clearly this is a cynical move by a company that knows that healthy people are more likely to buy their services than dead ones. It all goes straight to Google's bottom line.
I got into 10,000 steps craze, thanks in part to my company providing Fitbits. I was not really a health nut, just 3 days a week at gym, lifting and cardio. I had a bit of muscle definition. Gym was just something I did like brushing teeth. I didn't focus my life around it.

Due to incentives and competition among co-workers, I got into Fitbit seriously. While it was fun, but after a few months, not only I lost some definition but also gained weight. I was expecting to lose muscle mass but didn't know that 10000 steps spread out throughout day were not enough activity.

Now I realize Fitbits are great for extremely unhealthy or lazy people. But those of us who been working out without any devices should stay away from any such devices. And not change your workout routines.

It is too late for me, now I cannot workout without a device and some nice charts. I ended up getting a HRM based device. I like the charts it provides but I was happy using mirror to judge how much I needed to workout. And I didn't need any external motivation back then.
That's rather vague and "shadowy".
