You could double that number to account for the "fraud and error" spend at DWP: I would presume that further spending in this regard is dedicated to other departments.

I would count coordination here as a deep technical skill, which requires a depth of study and/or experience. You are selling your coordination skills. It's the stick of the T.

People who have broad interests with no depth of knowledge have not identified (for themselves) where their value lies. I would imagine that this type of engineer needs to be carefully managed to stay on tasks that add business-value. As su

Requiring "means testing", i.e. excluding people who are not in need, is often shown to cost more money than it saves. (and allows some people who don't technically qualify to fall through the gaps) If you receive an extra $

I think the video evidence people wish to collect is exactly the evidence that you are wrong - that people get arrested (or perhaps brutalized, or killed) despite being wholly respectful.

I learned recently that the Food Pyramid was created by the Department of Agriculture in the US, i.e. not by the Department of Health. So, not experts. (Not in the field they were claiming).

I would wager that "Reject All" does not, in fact, opt you out of "Legitimate Interests" - sites are using the language "Object to Legitimate Interests" for this.

Being overweight/obese might be (and might not be) a side-effect of the things you list, but it also that causes its own further side-effects and is worth dealing with in its own right.

The principle of 'obscurity is not security' would seem to apply to anti-spam algorithms on the scale of Google. I suspect that Google are not claiming this law would interfere with their anti-spam efforts, simply because it would

This page doesn't contain the word 'spam' - is that actually Google's claim, or are you inferring it?

I am not clever enough to understand this analogy, at all. Why would Google be opening a coffee shop? Could you please translate this analogy into the factual situation, so that I can understand your point of view?

This is simply wrong. Most people are unlikely to reach top 1% for income in any one year of their lifetime. The top 1% for wealth is even a much higher bar to reach: you need to hold over $10 million. People ain't moving in and out of

I disagree with your statement that it was respectful. Accepting your scenario, this suggests that they did not really want to hire the candidate and at best thought they might settle - when it came to it, they were not even willing to comp

It's a legal minefield in the sense that there is legal trouble if a hiring manager says "I hired the other candidate because they were white", but there is no such trouble if they just privately think it.

They thought this candidate was worth asking to prepare an interview task, but not worth hearing the result of that preparation. That's mightily disrespectful and sounds a lot like 'shits and giggles'.

The excuse usually given is to match up farm work, which is dictated by dawn, with general work shift patterns. However, I recall that farmers are very split on the issue when polled - it impacts on their work shifts as well.

This is a bit too hypothetical: the most generous estimate I can find is that Bitcoin is still using 61% non-renewable energy, in as much as farms are favourably set up in places with cheap energy (somewhat but not entirely correlated with
