Having worked in this field for a while, you should look at tiered and tagged assignment. E.g. escalation tiers / priority assignment and assignment by browser language / geo up. From what I recall these were important as you look

I'd love to live in a world where that was the case as well, but I'm not seeing much of that going around at the moment. And yes, I'd agree that in this case it could likely be considered a general workplace issue where most

Neat. Yes there are legitimate cases in which politics should certainly enter the workplace (legitimate labour disputes definitely being among these). These are disputes that are more or less employees versus employers. But I don't see

I mean personally I go on day-hikes relatively regularly and I just catch the train to my starting point. I appreciate that isn't always possible though.

If you take a group that's 4:1 on average, and then apply a subgroup filter which is also typically 4:1, that doesn't imply it comes out at 4:1 on the whole. Correct me if I'm wrong. It seems very likely that their ratio is f

This is a overly simplistic and (sorry) borderline childish point of view. The truth is that political ideology does not fit neatly on a continuous line from "liberal" to "conservative" and that party lines have been dra

I mean I don't think saying that the unions in the US inflate costs is too out there.. Perhaps this is just my perception, but I would say the difference is that European unions (at least northern European, can't speak to the rest

Just wait until your own trusty government is running low on funds... Ultimately however you have to trust some third party - to some degree - not to waste or misuse your money.

Perhaps my reading of the situation is way off, but at the risk of making a fool of myself: My understanding is that Monica wanted to use gender neutral pronouns throughout her writing as a general case, but that this was deemed "not g

Either you (literally) didn't mean "literally", or you're being wilfully ignorant. There's a significant minority who are more than happy with the idea of a no-deal Brexit and who voted for it with the understanding

You only "made three bucks" if you were going to spend the $25 either way. So did you save $3 or did you make an unnecessary purchase because you were offered a $3 discount?

Yes, and he's making the point that it manages to work. And that perhaps your expectation should be the same for a chat client as for an email client. Which may or may not be a valid point.

As someone who previously worked in ecommerce marketing, many of these practices certainly would cause more drop-off in the funnel. I would suggest that the idea is that losing X% of first-time customers isn't such a big deal if you ca

I actually find this quite hard to read, partly the alignment so far to the right (not sure why that bothers me), but also the fonts - particularly the italic, to a lesser extent the regular. I found myself not very able to focus on the tex

IIRC The stated goal of our (Sweden) armed forces is something like the ability to defend 1-2 regions for a single week if we are faced with an invasion. Our defence budget is 1% of GDP because we are betting on the US (and a few others) co

Having read the description on the OECD website it certainly looks to me like part-time and temporary work are skewing the graph. Also self-employment appears to correlate on one end of the spectrum. But as GP said, they acknowledge the dat

While you may think BC/AD is clunky, having a static reference point in the past obviously has its advantages. 200BC will forever correctly and uniquely reference the same year, 2218 YBP not so much, as it depends on year of writing (w
