Every medical professional worth their salt knows that tests are not binary - there is a possibility of false positives. They sent her for another test where results would come in two to three weeks, but that doesn't excuse them treati

Thats the idea. Bankrupt the shitty institutions that are careless or make too many mistakes and let the good ones grow. Kind of like performance reviews we get in the industry (not to say they aren't flawed but still)

I'm not a lawyer (obviously), but from her side of the story seems like they knew she wasn't a meth user, yet she was treated with disdain anyway. Medical professionals can't treat you like a piece of garbage, I'm sure a

Exactly, unethical laws are always passed on emotions (supposedly to protect the women and children). Think of how nazi germany started cracking down on jews - some of the very first laws were that german women couldn't work in jewish

There are portals that connect reviewer shills with sellers who want to boost their product ranking. Google "buy amazon reviews" and you'll see it. Some do it individually, on fiverr for example. The portals themselves are a

Googling "the name of the company you're interested in + careers" usually does that. Or you can go on linkedin and search for internal recruiters from that company, but you'll be wasting time.

You can probably imagine where these people are going in 5, 10, 15 years - worse and worse offenses. Sounds like whoever will replace Dilma needs to legislate firing squads, or conceal carry.

There is an old game where a subplot involves balancing and growing a planet with two somewhat hostile nations (Millenia Altered Destinies). The two reasons that there weren't large wars between "superpowers" - usa, france, r

Looks painful, but VR is the future for gaming and even education. Gaming has to be done on a threadmill type of device, or the games have to be made in scenes where moving forward and backward is a click, or you move by controlling a vehic

I'm not such a huge supporter of the invisible hand deciding "who gets what and why" (funnily enough there is a good book about markets by that name), rather I think freedom of association is important, especially when it com

Seems me to me that ultimately up to the owners to decide who they want to accept. If they turn down too many people with variation X, its their loss, and someone else will make money on that.

I'm for basic income, however looking beyond it - whats really necessary is to be able to let each person discover their (productive) passion to be able to contribute and exchange their time and labor for some unit of value. 99% of peo

Mr Ostriakov, a homeless man of Ukrainian background. Somewhat doubtful that Mr Ostriakov is Italian, or from an EU member country. Very likely that Mr. Ostriakov had to illegally go to Italy to find work after Biden & co decided it was

Misplaced incentives and wrong motivation for workers is the reason for low productivity. Lack of recognition plays a part too. If your betters mainly motivate you by fear of losing your job and getting kicked out, which is how most jobs st
