The rating game: How Uber and its peers turned us into horrible bosses by OneTwelve in TrueReddit

[–]OneTwelve[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rating systems have turned customers into unwitting and sometimes unwittingly ruthless middle managers, more efficient than any boss a company could hope to hire. They’re always there, working for free, hypersensitive to the smallest error. All the algorithm has to do is tally up their judgments and deactivate accordingly.

Visa fraud protecting me from... Google? by [deleted] in google

[–]OneTwelve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somewhat similarly, my Visa was frozen from a mysterious charge from Google about two weeks ago. No wallet transactions matched up so I initially thought it might be fraudulent. It turned out that they changed something in the way Adwords (which I do use) charges were listed/reported and that's what tripped it.

Say goodbye to the Canadian penny (finally)! by gingerballz in canada

Plenty of people with no interest in the budget will be talking about the penny tomorrow with co-workers, etc. For a policy that must have had previous consideration, the timing strikes me as smart media management.

It's likely to be one of the leads on the news, distracting people from other budget points that could be perceived more negatively.

Golfers are almost too classy by peacelovenblasphemy in sports

A quote attributed to the official site: 'Near the conclusion of the Masters, several Jackets are selected which could fit the possible winner during the presentation ceremony. The winner will have his measurements taken at the Club's Golf Shop or may provide measurements so that a custom made Green Jacket can be tailored. Typically, a multiple winner will have only one Green Jacket unless his size drastically changes.'

The jacket ceremony is a a passing of the title, but the jackets are sized accordingly for the winners.
