Comment So meetings aren't working... (Score 0) 44

Owners and management spent decades socialising at meetings but called it work*, but as soon as the workers go to meetings they are not work. * Are you shocked that "19 hour day work a holics" were really crafty descriptions for tax deductions while they got drunk.

Comment Bring out your dead (Score 1, Insightful) 169

Obama took over from Alice Palmer in Chicago's 13th District.because he could prove so many of her supporters, on the electoral roll, were dead. Would they "vote" in a postal election? How many dead Americans are on the electoral roll? And how do politicians seem to know who they are but not the election officials?

Comment Re:Proportionnal to population. (Score 1) 80

I think it's worth exploring that soon after Microsoft had to halt using, I mean further research, why the Kinect could not recognise dark skinned faces, that the device disappeared from use. Clearly facial recognition grew up on white faces and does not work on anyone else.

Comment Re:New Higher Ed Motto (Score 1) 58

"that Black kid who has a 3.8 GPA in High School who had to fight for every grade, and avoid teachers who are trying find reasons to make him fail" - no. It's well established to be the opposite. Schools for "poor" kids of all persuasions grossly inflate grades. For example, a friend was sent to one to increase the "cred" of her Education department management ladder climbing mother, and was a straight A student..Then mommy worked out her daughter could not spell for her age. Quietly sent to a private school where it was revealed she was really only a C & D grade student. The point of high school is do you have the underlying knowledge to get by in society? University is where you find out if you really have the nous.

Comment The irony is how Google recruits (Score 1) 303

An acquaintance said when they hired him the process was started by female models hired to pretend to be techies. You are given the impression these unusually beautiful women are part of Google tech support force in Texas. They take your details, open the door to the next challenge in entering Google land and you never see them again. Life returns to ugly, pale techies of both genders with questionable hygiene.

Comment Social science is not science (Score 1) 63

It relies on surveys and answers that are subjective. A psych study claimed women give wildly different answers to if they have had an abortion depending how you ask. They straight asked and got well below real numbers. Preambled with possible medical complications and it jumped to well above real numbers. They could not win.
