Flaky posted:Just to go back here, but the Greens really did quite poorly at this election, mostly coming off the back of their earlier significant results in (I think?) 2010. It wouldn't surprise me if the Greens were more innovative in their campaign strategy or that it won't have delayed benefits once the data has been refined or whatever, just that they did not do significantly well that election. Can't really be compared because it was only a senate election, but the WA difference between the 2013 election and the 2014 re-election was something like 6% and that was after they started using NationBuilder.

CrazyTolradi posted:When it comes to resumes, a lot of it comes down to the look. You're competing with anywhere over 200-1000 odd other applications, you need your resume to look professional and stand out. I cannot help but laugh whenever I see a word doc resume because it just looks like no effort went in at all. The only issue I've had with this is that a lot of people in HR/recruitment want a .doc/docx because they have their own horrid tools they use to pull out data/keywords to use with their internal databases. When I was on the job hunt last year I had a number of people ask me to send them something in word format because they couldn't use their tools on a PDF (and they're too lazy to enter you into their system manually). It's probably much more common in technical fields where there's a lot of buzzwords/proficiencies or when you're not dealing with the hiring organisation directly, but it's probably worth maintaining a plain version in conjunction with a nicely designed pdf. Recruiters/agencies are all useless and terrible, and especially when they're dealing with hundreds to thousands of resumes for a given position, they're not likely to bother to review them manually at first and rely on keyword searches/scoring to pare down. Don't want to risk being excluded from consideration just because the recruiter couldn't be bothered emailing you asking for a plain version. This is of course ignoring the fact that if the hiring organisation is using recruiters/an agency, the job is likely to be terrible.

I wonder how hard it would be to quantify Nationbuilder's effectiveness (RCT maybe?).

Roleplaying? what system? also, Brisgoon meet @ Stokehouse is at the bar, we wont be eating at the fine dining restaraunt attached to it. Last time, people moseyed over to get Burritos at Southbank. Alternatively, eat before you come. Or suggest another venue you can afford, has ambient music you can talk over and has a selection of drinks. IDEA! We go to Halims Indian Taj in Milton and talk poo poo over curry. Negative Entropy fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Aug 11, 2014 |

Tim Owen just admitted giving false evidence to ICAC yesterday. From my understanding your statements at ICAC can not be used as part of a criminal case, but if you perjure yourself that's a whole different matter  He also fingered Jeff McCloy saying the two had agreed beforehand to lie under oath.

FAMILY First senator Bob Day has vowed to lobby all crossbench senators to kill the government’s budget move to kick young people off the dole for six months, saying he is unwilling to negotiate on a compromise deal… Senator Day says the entire policy must be dumped. “Not only will it not get my vote I am doing my darnedest to persuade all my crossbenchers and anyone else who will listen not to vote for it either,” he said. “I am lobbying on this as hard as I’ve lobbied on anything in my life, actively.” The department of social services show that 113,000 people a year aged under 30 will be denied the Newstart and Youth Allowance payments for six months.

Liberal Democratic Party Senator, David Leyonhjelm, is reportedly backing Day’s position which, when combined with the opposition from the Palmer United Party and the Greens, means that the Budget measure has next to no chance of passing the Senate.

I’d suggest also this: which nation most clearly shows white in conflict with brown, Western civilisation in conflict with the Oriental; capitalism in conflict with the tribal; reason in conflict with the “romantic”, the strong in conflict with the weak? In every fault line, Israel is on the opposite side to a certain kind of tribal Leftist. Israel is once again the canary in the coal mine of civilisation.

This awful plan for 6 months with no dole seems to have done a lot of net good after all. It's shocked people into being more politically active, inspired many to join the Greens... and yet it's not getting passed cause they couldn't even get the libertarian dude to back them up. How pitiful is that?
