> I know this is a controversial view, but I think employers should not be allowed to run background checks unless important for the role (government work, access to children, etc) and where it is important for the role it should only return the criminal convictions that might be relevant to the role.

This shouldn't be controversial at all and I think your take is 100% correct wrt exceptions (gov work, access to children etc). The very "Once a felon always a felon" thing going on in the united states is a secret life long sentence that completely defeats the idea of redemption.

I suspect most of the side by side comparisons, including this one, were GPU.

unless you went second hand, you should still be covered with the 30 day return policy no?

Curious what's going on with the stance of presenters? If you look carefully they all stand in a certain way, with a space between their feet that appears to be constant.

What we call 'journalists' are people with an iphone and a laptop, in an openspace from 9 to 5 and on twitter all day long.

Come on, look at the bright side of things: this project is going to piss off a lot of San Franciscans, exactly the kind that proved, during COVID, that their real values are the exact opposite of the ones they claim to be in favor of. They should amend this project and add 15 more stories!

I think you are missing the point. The fact the US is considering a ban is OK in my book, even tho I find it a bit amusing to finally see the US do exactly what he blames China for.

However, the behavior and tone of these representatives, with a monomaniac focus on the communist party was quite shocking.

The level of sinophobia displayed by these representatives is an absolute shame.

I would strongly suggest you to read a bit about the ideology of the Al-Nusra Front group.

I dont know, reality perhaps? I don't know for google, but the idea that titles/level always reflect what the employee's performance actually is has been debunked for me a long time ago.

ps: choice of e1m1 is interesting, iirc the reference benchmark is e1m2 (demo2).

EDIT: demo2 -> e1m4 !

No offense my friend, this wasn't directed at your post in particular, I was just venting my frustration for this annoying trend. Besides, Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was actually russian :D
