  I know this has already been posted but didn’t notice the following in the others: “During one interview process, Fillekes says, a recruiter requested that she submit an updated résumé that showed her graduation dates for college and graduate degrees. When Fillekes asked why this was required, she says the recruiter responded that it was "so the interviewers can see how old you are."”

  That averages $48,458.15 per claim. If you can hire 2 new college grads for less than or equal to the cost of an older employee + $50k this looks like a justifiable win from business point of view. You get 2x the amount of working hours per week.

  Very interesting, the comment about the 8-bit byte! As a commenter on Ars says, there were 36-bit systems that could work with a word as four 9-bit bytes released as recently as 2011 (the 36-bit Dorado 800 series apparently.)
