Most companies buy packages of HR docs from their law firm, or from an HR-focused law firm that does nothing but churn these things out. They all have the same basic list of clauses. So I wouldn't attribute this one clause to general m

I agree that 'verifying' the reviewer is a great idea. How would you do that? Amazon knows whether or not the reviewer bought the item; the Amazon ecosystem is somewhat closed. How do those Tripadvisor competitors know who has rea

As the article says, "Customers have the right to their opinions without being harassed and intimidated," but what about people who are not customers? How can a user of Yelp know whether or not the review is legitimate and not a

I'm still trying to understand why the US keeps kicking a tiny island country. One story I've heard is that a lot of rich Cubans lost their property when Castro took over, and they spend a ton of money on politicians in the hope t

This old SGI post-mortem has a nice section on management, about halfway down the page. The contention there is that optimists get promoted. I have seen incompetence promoted (to get rid of people), but not as often as optimists. http:&#x2

Zuk's critique of the paleo diet has itself been soundly criticized, e.g. [1] and [2]. Of course she's gotten many details right; the food that is available today doesn't resemble Paleo-era foods very much, so how can we trul

I read "The Laundrymen" a few years ago. It's WAY out of date, but goes pretty deep into how money was laundered in the 70s. I'd love to read an update of that book, or something similar.

I read (in a random book, while standing in a bookstore) that handwriting is an integrative activity, where tapping a screen or typing on a keyboard is far less integrative. The book said that people have input (reading, viewing, touching,

You're right. I didn't read that all the way through. Shame on me. However, the founding story I heard first was the Paris taxi story, and it's backed up by these old tweets from LeWeb: http://eventifier.co/ev

I never experienced the kind of hate that some Americans attribute to French people. As far as the French hating the English, have you ever listed to any Roald Dahl childrens' stories? They pretty much ensure that good English kids ar

The last time I tried I was with my wife and daughter, trying to get to the airport with luggage. I think the luggage scared them off. You know that the idea for Uber came from the founder's experience trying to get a taxi in Paris, ri

I'm also an American living in France, and I have never even been able to get a taxi in Paris, on the street, at marked taxi stands, or asking directly in a bar where the taxi drivers hang out while they are 'working'. Fortun

Here's a(nother) case where the actual title of the article doesn't reflect what the article itself says. In the article, it says the senators say they "have seen no evidence", not that no evidence exists. Obviously hype

I had pretty much the same experience. The $27 glasses from Zenni are a tiny bit sharper than the $200 pair from the big-name store at the mall, though the frames from the mall are Armani. I don't care much about labels, and I have to

Why not a virtual trade show? Let equipment manufacturers sponsor a forum section and require that they participate on the forum to answer questions from users. It's not an in-your-face ad, but gives the mfr exposure and an opportunity to d

For the least hassle, PayPal's got a few options for payment. PayPal IPN can handle monthly subscriptions, and the service charges are not bad. You need to be diligent about moving the money out of the account, and about handling customer s
