you're not getting it, it's not just an accelerometer, it tracks the position of the employees hand in realtime to "prevent errors in shelving or picking" and I'm sure it certainly won't be used to grind out that last 0.5% of "slack" that the poor people who staff their warehouses currently enjoy

if you drive a black or silver prius in san francisco people will randomly try to get into your car I took a taxi home from buying a new monitor this weekend, the driver was this cool old guy who's lived in the city since the 50s and I even used an app to hail it

JawnV6 posted:aren't they talking about the slimming of the feed to favor like ~15 friends and family members instead of "literally everyone you follow"? not the dislike testing I think they're trying to show more of what actual humans post over the 100000 identical lovely procedural dessert videos people like or share but there's no way to know for sure because facebook refuses to tell people what they're doing and also refuses to let users customize their own feeds because that might interfere with promoted content

damore's nlrb claim got rejected hard “the statements regarding biological differences between the sexes were so harmful, discriminatory, and disruptive as to be unprotected.” quote:Damore’s memo, titled “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber,” contended that Google’s diversity efforts were misplaced because they ignored women’s biologically driven disinterest in technology. It includes many claims, which have previously been dissected in detail online. But Sophir focuses specifically on Damore’s “statements about immutable traits linked to sex — such as women’s heightened neuroticism and men’s prevalence at the top of the IQ distribution.” These statements were “discriminatory and constituted sexual harassment, notwithstanding [Damore’s] effort to cloak [his] comments with ‘scientific’ references and analysis,” she writes. Moreover, she says Google “carefully tailored” its reasons for firing Damore, limiting them to unprotected portions of the memo.
