That's a good idea! Good luck :)

I made a similar tool. It just uses user input data. It gives you a good snapshot of the cost of a meeting, but doesn't go as deep as OP's tool. https://www.resumebeacon.com/planning-to-plan.php

Exactly. This doesn't necessarily mean these companies advertised the job to one gender. It simply means the ad was targeted at a specific gender. For all we know, the companies spent twice as much on a different ad set for women.

Do you live in Foresthill? I'm not too far away in shingle springs.

That does not say, "0% of non-white non-males were hired for an entry-level position".

Where does the article say this, "Prior to the author of this article conducting her live experiment, 0% of non-white non-males were hired for an entry-level position"?

She's female. She got hired.

Exactly

Read this paragraph:

"Finally, I suggested that if we reached the final round of hiring without any viable women or minorities in the selection pool, we should take this as an indication that we had not done a good job at outreach. We would start the recruiting process over, and try harder to attract diverse candidates."

What she is saying is, if she didn't get the results she wanted, she'd toss aside ALL applicants (even if they were highly qualified) and start over until she found her version of the "acceptable" candidate.

That's just wrong.

A troll? The author is a hypocrite and I'm calling her out. The words above came directly from her article. And yes, I did read the entire thing.

If you don't see anything wrong with what she said/did, I feel sorry for you.

"I had expressed dismay before at our hiring practices. It seemed that whenever we had our monthly engineering all-hands meeting, the new hire announcements featured three more young white guys. I felt that we could do better."

So, because they are young, white males, you immediately dismissed them?

I met Carlos about 15 years ago while I was in school. He helped me with a project I was working on. Very helpful and friendly guy!

I also remember going to lunch with him as he was building Corona. His passion was contagious.

We hadn't talked for a while and this is the first time I'm hearing about him. Very sad. RIP Carlos.

This is a tool I've been working on for a while. It constantly scans Amazon and finds the best open-box deals. Products are 30% - 95% off. Most of the items have damaged packaging and can't be sold as new, so Amazon sells them at huge discounts.

Absolutely. I got one a couple of weeks ago. It asked me to design some API and other arbitrary garbage. Obviously an auto response. They also had the nerve to "cap" it at 10 hours.

I won't even respond to these "companies" anymore. It's a waste of time.

Also want to mention that it's 100% free. No sign up, up-selling, lead gen etc...

$200M Wouldn't be enough. They are trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist for 95% of the country. Sure, there is a market for this, it's just not the size they are thinking.

As the article says, "Figure Out Your Model Before Scaling".

Google is simply another avenue for information. You could just as easily change the title to "Television Could Steal the Presidency".

If you asked 2,000 undecided voters (BTW, if you're undecided when you go to the polls, don't vote) to read news articles in a left or right wing publication, I'd bet the voter would likely be persuaded.

This is why we see so many commercials on TV right before an election.

To me, the real issue is people not spending enough time researching a candidate.

I only had time to read about half of the article, but wanted to let you know this EXACT same thing just happened to me.

We verified service (twice) before buying the house. Called to schedule an install and found out service wasn't available to our house.

Long story short, I was lucky enough to get a great technician and he schedule a drop bury VERY quickly. I got a call from Comcast's corporate office within minutes of his request. It took about 3 weeks for them to run a new RG11 line from the street to the house, but it's all up and running now.

I also work from home, so I was forced to use my 4G connection briefly as I waited.

I feel your pain. Good luck!!

There are others in this thread that disagree with me and I'm not calling them trolls. This person's tone and choice of words landed them in "troll category" in my mind.

Agreed, very well said.

LOL at "the token public sector person". So true. You have to sift through a LOT of trash to find the treasures.

Hello troll. I knew you'd show up. In case you missed it in the article...

"Understand trolls will always try and bring you down.

It's easier said than done. The reality is, it stings. You'll question your work. You'll start seeing their point. You just have to realize they are wrong. Chances are, they are an insecure douche and have nothing better to do with their time than belittle other people. They are faceless."

That's very good advice! Sometimes we completely overlook the basics, I know I do from time to time.

Thanks! It's a bit of a struggle at times, but I'm learning a TON!

Please see my comment above about this. Thanks!

@everyone asking for a sample. I have no intention of spamming you. There aren't any examples because it's a new newsletter. There is nothing to show yet. I'll add an archive section to the site and post old newsletters a few days after I send them out.

Those that have signed up, thank you! You should see the first newsletter later next week.

Good idea. Will do!

For now I'm going to keep it as an email list. If the participation is high enough, I'll start posting people's completed projects to the site. Kind of a "completed projects" gallery

Was a small CSS issue. Fixed.

Still looking into this. It's weird. It looks good in FF on my localhost, but I see what you're talking about when it's on the live server. EDIT: Fixed. It was a CSS bug
