Re: RE: ASAC

The local shop has one of those ATMs with the typical sign: "staff don't have access to the money drawer"...Lies... I've seen the owner refilling the drawer with £10 notes on a few occasions.

Re: I believe...

Just find a slightly concealed ATM and bring a small concealable battery powered drill, a USB stick, and a balaclava. Easy

RE: ASAC

I once waited in queue for a few minutes to get to an ATM only to discover the message "Windows is shutting down" and had to requeue for the next ATM.

It appears a lot of modern ATMs still run Windows 98, which explains the insecurity.

Women beat men to jobs due to guys' bad social skills. Whoa – you mad, fellas? Maybe these eggheads have a point...

Re: Wow...

We didn't get equality, we may have actually overshot it. We went from men on the top - to women being pushed to the top, and men being unfairly held back in the name of progress. We also enacted many laws and social standards that punish men for being men but praising everything women do. How many times have you heard "toxic masculinity" mentioned recently?

Re: Paul

My comment was in reference to this current article. In this case any positive discrimination is benefiting women only (and those who identify as them).

Yeah, but, newsflash - if you're using positive discrimination you're hiring only because of what's between their legs and not skills.

"Ashton attempted to address such concerns about privacy by stressing that the government "absolutely agree" that the arrangements should only verify age, not identity."

And how exactly do you prove your age without also providing your identity to check it against?

If i say i'm over 18 how do you know unless you know who I am?

Re: "Local by-elections can take place at any time of year"

In that case I still meant local election as only people *local* to that MP, as in, in that borough can vote.

Could have said By-election too, but it's a bit late for that now. Thanks

Re: What do you mean competitive portfolio?

I like that idea actually. Some of us don't have a method of legally identifying ourselves unless we get a passport or drive. I have to carry my passport when i think i may get IDed (Tesco mainly) and a reputable offering from Google or just built into Android could serve this purpose and possibly reduce thefts by tying your ID to the device.

Heck, just build it into Android Pay?

Some of us cared little for numbers. It was a choice between sovereignty or become a state in a United States of Europe. Immigration also featured heavily on both sides as YouGove polls show a majority on either side want immigration reduced and controlled.

RE: AC

Positive discrimination isn't positive to the people you discriminate against. It's one thing to market in Black Times/Gay Times to boost numbers. It's quite another to say you're no longer hiring X since you have too many.

Re: Hire the best person for the job

Take a look at the testing criteria for australian Firefighters. You're now much more likely to die in a fire as the standards were dropped so low, to get more women into the job, that the firefighters passing the test can't lift anything heavier than a toddler.

The female firefighters are now complaining about this since they got their jobs based on merit and are suddenly token women, and assumed to be too weak to do their jobs and save people.

Hire the best person for the job

Google isn't bothered if their company goes to shit and their developers got their jobs because of their gender or ethnicity, instead of talent - Just as long as they have 50% men, 50% women, somewhere between 2-10% of their workforce gay, 2% mexican, etc.

The sad truth of the matter is you could be the best programmer in history, but, "oh, you're a white male. Sorry, we have too many of those so we're giving the position to this Nigerian woman, since we don't have one of those yet."

Sad, but Apple and Google both do this now. They hire based on diversity first. And as a minority i despise this approach because it's fucking stupid and discriminatory.
