i like that fitbit-for-work article because its just straight up that classic dystopian twist that is used sometimes about controlling people with kindness and people in the article are celebrating it as if its new and clever

All the healthy people volunteer private medical data for various discounts. This makes opting for privacy synonymous with "expensive".

Yeah, I know of a few places that are "do this medical thing, tell us about it, and get gift cards" Also, gently caress google so much: https://twitter.com/nathanTbernard/status/1116005336559824897 The fact that Logan Paul still has an account is the tip of the iceberg here.

that last quote is loving horrific "we want to make sure mothers have healthy babies, because otherwise, they will be worried about their babies being stuck near death in the hospital while they are at work (they will still be at work of course)" america is horrible and it both saddens and worries me that as a country it still holds so much influence

nah I think abigserve is right. the idea that anyone would go on parental leave for any significant time is not even considered, they’re supposed to go right back to work. especially if the app proves the baby has no special circumstances

It wasn’t necessarily going to be Harvard or Yale, but it certainly might be Bowdoin or Northwestern. That was the way the system worked. But today, there’s a squeeze on those kids. The very strong but not spectacular white student from a good high school is now trying to gain access to an ever-shrinking pool of available spots at the top places. He’s not the inherently attractive prospect he once was.

Sagebrush posted:this is a good article about it i can't find the article right now, but it was written by an interviewer for one of those fancy-pants east coast universities who lamented that he does nothing but interview a seemingly endless stream of zombie clone kids with perfect grades, more extra-curriculars than time realistically allows for and identical opinions when it comes to literature and current events. on the occasions when he finds an actual interesting, albeit blemished, person to recommend, he is frequently reminded from above to mind his place that bit about how in the past it was fairly easy to get into good, if not great schools rings true too. only five or six years after i applied to schools a lot of the places we had considered safeties had become quite selective and i can only imagine that it's worse now. i wonder how many of the current living crop of alumni from ~elite~ schools would be able to get in now if they had to do it over again?

who could have predicted this would happen edit - although it is nice to know that they'll be able to target advertising for american flags more effectively (to people who call their alexa/children racial slurs)

So basically every journalist.
