I understand that. But even if you come up with a classifier that gives better false positives and false negatives rates than the existing process, it's still going to be tuned towards minimizing false positives and leaving false negat

This is what we get for replacing education with googling... Are you suggesting replacing interviews with some other metrics?

The more you try to decrease false positives, the more you get false negatives, this is something taught in any intermediate Statistics class. Different people may have different opinions on what rate of false positives is acceptable but on

UK courts could be different, or you actually might not know the law as much as you think you do, or you might not be informed of job prospects of people who had access to important business info and no non-compete... Fact is that if what y

So, in the US all such "unpacking" is done by lawyers at $500+ per hour. You just showed that in absence of non-compete hiring someone from a competitor could turn into a multi-million lawsuit. This is why such a legal climate is

I gave you an example in my first response to you: a sales manager, knowing the current contracts, can offer better contracts from a competitor without revealing any protected data. I am not interested in ethics, I asked how do existing thi

So it appears the US non-competes are more relaxed than UK ones? In the US non-competes are limited to the actual competition though the pay may or may not be reduced if you work. >Typically, if the employee took commercially sensitive c

You do get invalid states with exceptions in much worse way. Think exception thrown from a constructor, or, even better, from a constructor of one of the members even before the constructor's body is reached. Not to mention managing st

Yeah, people usually don't tow, off-road, drive through unplowed streets covered with snow 3 feet high, ford through a flash flood, transport vehicles or big appliances, or gardening or construction supplies etc. But people still do

Put two mountain bikes in a Prius and drive to a singletrack trailhead then tell again how it's objectively better. But on a serious note, there are many more reasons to have a truck than towing. I understand that it's disturbin

That's because of the fixed cost of making another model of a car. Look at what happened to Stellantis trying to bring Fiat 500: after three years of great sales it started to drop pretty quickly to the point where they sold only 16 in

That's because few really like unbound density, people who move to cities want more density than a SFH-on-an-acre and/or perhaps can tolerate more of it but they do not enjoy density per se and don't "upgrade" by mo

I am not an off-roader by any stretch of imagination, but I figure the AWD works like single axle drive with a simple diff on each axle i.e. if one wheel has no traction then all torque goes to that wheel and zero goes to the opposite one.

This is because of nuisance and the lack of private law enforcement. People will still park illegally if there is no parking in your establishment and the other people who will be affected by the illegal parking, will get upset, will call p

The pre-car Europe and the US were not low traffic. E.g. the main street (Nevsky Avenue) in St. Petersburg, Russia is 200 feet wide since 1760s (and it was expanded from the original 65 feet because that was not enough for traffic).
