you can have a thick luxury watch. but you have to be at least 50 with gray arm hair to make it work.

On Friday, an administrative law judge for the United States Department of Labor issued a recommended decision and order regarding a demand for extensive data about Google employees made by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor. The decision concluded that the OFCCP demands were “over-broad, intrusive on employee privacy, unduly burdensome and insufficiently focused on obtaining the relevant information.”

oh well, was looking forward to seeing the methodology.

No it means the inevitable two way revolving door (people flowing back and forth, often at the same time) between washington and companies that spend a shitload of money on lobbying

that's not a revolving door move though

that's just a door move

the whole point of using "revolving door" as a metaphor is because they depart, revolve through the door and come right back in

it was really great to discover that android auto's google maps doesn't support any sort of saved / favorited / starred locations. Seemed like such an oversight so I did a search on it and

Thanks Lawrence -- I'm not seeing that capability at this time.

Could you share more about your use case here -- how does this work in practice for you?
What the gently caress do you THINK the use case could be for it, like maybe I just want to drive to someone's house or a place I bookmarked earlier that I didn't memorize a street address for

but no, your two options are a search that you have to talk at and recently visited locations


it also refuses to display SMS or hangout messages, but will happily take 10 times as long as a glance down to read them out to you in garbled text to speech
