Comment Re:the important detail (Score 1) 634

I no longer date my education experience at all, nor employment experience beyond 10 years. The only risk point now is HR, when they get data from you and need a birth date for something or other. Serious corporations make the haring decision before they let HR loose on you, to avoid potential lawsuits for what would, clearly, be age discrimination if they withdrew an offer after your I-9 etc. got filed.

Though this is still a risk if they vet your education and get transcripts. Serious corporations, again do that after an offer contingent on validating your educational resume.

There are no guarantees.

I'm aware of several people who have interviewed where I work now. Some are former employees or contractors. They really like the culture, as I do, and those that were 'displaced' want back in.

They keep trying, and it's because they are either not quite a perfect fit or an internal candidate was preferred, as this corporation does indeed promote from within in preference to hiring outside, re-hires former employees, and does hire both current or former contractors for full-time openings.

I understand why she would keep responding.

It's also protected by our First Amendment.

"or the right of the people peaceably to assemble,"

That they wish to do this not merely in the town square, or at their favorite website, but in their neighborhood, makes no difference.

It may be racist, but it's not merely legal, it's protected. And our President is actively working to subvert the Constitution and make this specifically illegal.

"It's already been shown that Google gives different results to searches that include "black" names vs "white" ones"

And why wouldn't they, and why would you NOT expect to get different results?

Searching for 'Louis Farrakhan' SHOULD give different results than searching for 'Maria Sharipova'. Or 'Lothrop Stoddard'.

Such a vapid argument. Try harder, please.

Oh, LANtastic?

I was supporting a NetWare 2.15c server with a DCB inproduction. In 2003. The 40MB drives were in addition to IDE drives internal to the server chassis, and were deemed untouchable. Separate UPS, no one believed they would spin up again if they lost power. No one ever told me what was on those drives.
