"Amazon can now charge Barnes and Noble for bn.buy, or redirect it back to Amazon"
That nice, but no-one is going to type in bn.buy to get to Barnes and Noble. Only tech savvy people would bother typing a url into the url-bar. Most other people will type barnes into the google search box and hit down and enter.
If Amazon where to register or redirect urls with barnes to the amazon website, they would have a trademark lawsuit on their hands.
The questionnaire is linked and fairly boring. In fact, it spends questions 1-31 asking pretty benign stuff, then has a quick one-page two-question "have you been harassed" block, with some follow-up questions like "If yes to #31, was the offender your superior, peer or subordinate."
There's no asking if you have both male and female subordinates, or if management is primarily male, or if you only have female peers; so there's no way to tell if male peers are more of less "dangerous" than female subordinates or any other combination you might want to figure out.
Apparently having an opinion apart from the group-think gets some pretty heavy moderation these days...
Does someone actually think these are well-worded questions that provide a clear understanding of the definitions of "sexual harassment" and "physical sexual harassment," or do they just prefer people not see the post by modding it down?
In science, we call that a biological need to reproduce with the fittest specimens available.
The questions on the test make it impossible to known if male supervisors were likely to harass women more, or if there were simply more male superiors.
There isn't a separate section that says "if you had a female superior."
There's simply no shortage of willing participants for adult film actresses. Producers don't need to drug them. They are, after all, producing and distributing a video record of their event -- which seems unwise.
Do some willing adult film actresses use drugs, appear on camera under the influence, or even produce drug-themed adult films? Absolutely.
Well, here's the actual questions:
32. Have you ever personally experienced inappropriate or sexual remarks, comments about physical beauty, cognitive sex differences, or other jokes, at an anthropological field site? (If you have had more than one experience, the most notable to you.)
The section is entitled Sexual harassment and assault so you would hope people would be contextually aware that "or other jokes" means of a sexual nature. But it's still a badly worded question. I further assume the reader is supposed to parse "inappropriate or sexual" as prefixes for the other items, but we live in a tightly wound panties world when comments about physical beauty are harassment.
39. Have you ever experienced physical sexual harassment, unwanted sexual contact, or sexual contact in which you could not or did not give consent or felt it would be unsafe to fight back or not give your consent at an anthropological field site? (If you have had more than one experience, the most notable to you.)
The problem, again, is a terribly worded question. Are we to again assume physical should extend through the commas? Or is unwanted sexual contact just a fat girl asking a handsome dude to get a date after the working day is done. Is all physical contact unwanted sexual contact now?
The math for their statistical distributions is fine.
Their questions suck, lack good wording, and lack examples. [Not limited to but including...
That's tactics, not psychology. During the 2nd world war most soldiers did not want to kill enemy soldiers because they saw them as fellow humans.

There are so many different ways to interpret those two (?) typos...
Their "classic" offering is a solid tool. I was unimpressed with one of their early cordless models. I'd buy them again if I were replacing my "classic."
This might be the most consumer-friendly-name company providing a device, and being able to buy one at Home Depot means it's likely returnable at Home Depot -- at least once it makes it from the website to the stores.
The price point is almost meaningless, since to most, every other company is going to seem like a nerd toy, while Dremel(tm)(r)(c)(sm) Brand Tools sounds like something trustworthy.
Because CocaCola doesn't provide their vending machines. An small army of vending machine companies servicing every city in America service vending machines, and put in bill readers and credit-card readers if it makes sense for them to do so.
Most new credit card readers for vending machines already take NFC.
Unless Apple is going to partner with CocaCola and send every one of these mom-and-pop vending machine companies a pile of readers and then pay them to go swap them all out, don't expect change there soon.
