@stringbean670 i really expected autocorrect to be a solved problem by now, and this goes for both iOS and Android; it's bleak

@slipcase_ @TheComradeVideo this is the version I have!

@econoadabsurdam the cheese here is of reasonable thickness

@Iamwsvy @komahinabuttsex @m4exec @glunkinator @DTGee64 no

[corey 🧮🏗🌐🔰 @himbonomics]

@Iamwsvy @komahinabuttsex @m4exec @glunkinator @DTGee64 if a writer were to plop in a kiss between two characters out of nowhere — no narrative foundation, no reinforcing subtext, no interpersonal tension or chemistry, no motivation — we would call that forced: that'd be Bad Writing. i happen to believe there's Good Writing going on

@Iamwsvy @komahinabuttsex @m4exec @glunkinator @DTGee64 that's not how literary interpretation works; this is not a matter of canonicity

[corey 🧮🏗🌐🔰 @himbonomics]

@Iamwsvy @komahinabuttsex @m4exec @glunkinator @DTGee64 an analysis arguing a queer interpretation of the subtext is valid without these drafts, but certainly their existence is going to bolster that thesis, yes? i mean you can't argue then that ppl've just made that view of Shinji & Kaworu's relationship out of whole cloth

the proper name for these are audit study or correspondence experiment, not really a "survey" in the traditional sense that the respondents know they're being surveyed; it's a revealed preference, not disclosed!

we know from resume survey experiments that name-based discrimination occurs on a broad, systemic level; there's no easy way for an individual to mitigate that. but someone can keep some avenues of legal recourse open by disclosing protected identities on the form

[corey 🧮🏗🌐🔰 @himbonomics]

it's in your best interest to provide demographic data for potential future HR audits or EEOC complaints — an HM isn't supposed to have access to those data; they might infer based off of other data (name, social media) and discriminate anyways, but that's harder to prove

Job applications are like “not that it matters lol but are you hispanic”

this kind of capital-labor substitution is a straightforward result from the firm's medium-run optimization problem if w↑ and r is fixed

[Handre @Handre]

McDonald's announced they're replacing cashiers with kiosks in California just after the $20 minimum wage kicked in. Shocking to absolutely no one who understands basic economics. When you artificially price labor above its market value, employers find substitutes. Machines, automation, or they simply eliminate positions entirely.

The teenagers who desperately need that first job experience? Gone. The single mother trying to re-enter the workforce after years away? Priced out by someone with more skills. You've just created a legal barrier that prevents the least skilled workers from competing on the one thing they had going for them: willingness to work for less while they build experience.

Politicians pat themselves on the back for "helping workers" while unemployment among young minorities hits double digits. The workers who keep their jobs benefit (temporarily), but the invisible victims, those who never get hired in the first place, don't make headlines. Economics doesn't care about your good intentions.

@RAVerBruggen people also tend to be more altruistic when asked hypotheticals in a polling question, where there are no real material stakes

[corey 🧮🏗🌐🔰 @himbonomics]

@RAVerBruggen i'm not sure they fully understood the question tbh — younger (than current retirees) is the implication but a (poor) overly literal interpretation could be younger (than me, the interviewee) perhaps? beyond the phrasing, there's the policy substance, which is another hurdle

i picked a really good time to go on hiatus from Arch Linux huh

@nicknack_321 a couple of bigger annoyances:
– Amazon will remove the cover metadata of transferred ebooks when it connects to their servers, then you have to reconnect to Calibre to fix this
– the library on the device is encrypted, so you can't transfer your library off of it in usable form

[corey 🧮🏗🌐🔰 @himbonomics]

@nicknack_321 i have a Kindle Oasis~ the closed ecosystem and DRM w/ .azw3 is a drawback, but Calibre partially solves that w/ its converting and transfer features — my next eReader will be a Boox or Kobo tho

@_moneya @speckvoices you can pre-consent to possibilities of things happening, as is standard for surgery under anesthesia. in the latter case it's written, but verbal contracts between ppl in a relationship are valid and legal as well
