Absence of evidence is of course not evidence of absence, but all life on earth today seems to be descended from a single organism, 3-4 billion years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_universal_common_ancest...

There doesn’t even need to be anyone saying no. When you’re standing with a crowd shouting “murder! murder!” it’s much harder to say “I’m not one of the bad guys” than when you’re online and you can say “well OK, there are a few bad apples

I’m not aware of any rigorous modelling that supports what Goering argued though. It’s certainly possible but it’s also not a given by a long shot. FPTP in the UK is not based on the popular vote, it’s essentially the outcome of 650 mini-

If that is true, then why does it seem that there has been only a single origin event on Earth?

That’s if you load it all from the CDN though, build your own with SASS and it’s much smaller.

128 covers whether it was in line with the company’s processes or not. It’s actually not against the Equality Act to treat employees differently, as long as you don’t do it because of a protected characteristic.

Yep. But generally not instant dismissal. Although apparently they did actually try to pay her for her notice period and she sent it back? This case is a whole load of fun to read through.

No, it's not just that—even if the company's policies said so, they still might have been found to have unlawfully dismissed her... The actual judgement is a trip: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media&#x2

That’s fair, I shouldn’t have said that, I’m sorry.

You already posted this. It’s not proof. It’s a meta analysis that suggests that in general cognitive ability might have some role in differences in job performance (maybe up to 25%). It doesn’t even touch the question of whether IQ tests

Can you prove it?
254.
by d1sxeyes 1y ago
No? The quote specifically says “If [it] cannot be shown to be related to job performance”. Maybe we should implement IQ testing before people are allowed to post on HN.

by d1sxeyes 1y ago
No. A business that believes hiring is better using IQ is able to do so if they can show that it has a relation to job performance.

No, the Supreme Court ruled that you have to have a concrete business reason for implementing a test that is disproportionately likely to favour one ethnic group over another: > The touchstone is business necessity. If an employment prac

Generally spaces around em-dashes is a question of style, not pre- or pro-scribed by any specific typographical rule. One nice middle ground is a hair space (&hairsp;), although it’s a pain to insert.

Seems you can just `get` the result? Not sure what I’m missing that means so many apps don’t do this, vastly better UX. https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/blob/0151cfdee27cb03...

To me, this is the only thing that makes sense. Why else would you spend so much money doing this?

Great idea to charge for carry-on. We will go ahead and do that. After careful consideration, we have decided not to implement your second suggestion. Thank you for your feedback!

What's 'legitimate' and what isn't is up for interpretation, but the question of whose interests is clear in the text of the GDPR itself, and it's the controller's (or a third party's) interests which

Exactly. It’s not futile or redundant, it’s something people want.

I would agree, but I’ve spent the last ten years or so working with outsourced tech support and I guarantee you, a lot of people call us just because they can’t be bothered to look for themselves.

In the bluntest possible sense, who cares if we can make roads safer? Solving liability in traffic collisions is basically a solved problem through the courts, and at least in the UK, liability is assigned in law to the vendor (more accurat

That’s not true. From the law as written: > legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party … There are six lawful bases for processing, consent is only one of them.

If I remember correctly, the dolphins had tried to warn humanity without success and eventually gave up and left, so the “see ya suckers” reading doesn’t quite track.

Yeah! ACAB! etc. I meant wrong in terms of lawful/legal.

For what’s it’s worth, depending on jurisdiction you either have to respond to these questions or not, but it’s always wrong to lie.
