Comment Re:This has absolutely nothing (Score 1) 88

It might technically/fundamentally be a "zoning" issue but in the real world it's not: it's CEQA. Universities have to follow CEQA requirements for environmental impact of their projects and lawsuits can be brought against them under CEQA. If that's not right, then I'd call it a bug in the legislation that allows such things to happen.

This is not strictly true for payroll. Of course it can depend on where you are based and how big your company is. We develop payroll software and just off the top of my head in the past 10 years or so we've dealt with:
New payroll taxes in various states that the software needs to be reprogrammed for.
New payroll tax reporting requirements (paper and electronic) associated with new payroll taxes.
New payroll tax calculation methods (e.g. Medicare surtax calculating tax over certain wage amounts).
Ongoing changes to 941 / 943 reporting to deal with Covid tax credits.
Mandatory implementation of sick pay programs in various states (CA/AZ/WA/OR/MI).
Mandatory implementation of retirement programs in Oregon and California.
Changes to how pay rates for breaks (mandated by court rulings or by law) must be calculated in Washington and California.
Changes to information required by law on check stub/vouchers.

Comment Why Facebook's version will be better (Score 1) 25

Facebook will monitor the conversations and make sure "problematic" talk and wrong-think are corrected, and no misinformation is spread.

As I recall, the problem with Clubhouse is that people were having "unfettered" conversations. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1361450276750848000?lang=en

Clearly the New York Times only thinks people should be having fettered conversations online.

With all of the Google Home and Amazon Alexa devices, soon we will be able to enjoy fettered conversations at home as well!

Comment Re:Horrible, but not what I'd call racist (Score 2, Funny) 366

The headlines clearly says the algorithm is racist, not the programmers who wrote it.
I suspect that that the algorithm was raised in Jim Crow south and it is therefore a product of its environment. Clearly it needs to attend some diversity training sessions and learn to counteract it's inherent white privilege.
