New York: Despite increasing concern over the intrusion of algorithms in daily life, a new research shows that people are more likely to rely on algorithms than humans, especially if a task becomes too challenging.
Algorithmic control over the process led about 25% to 55% of users to overestimate the amount of time they would need to complete a task if they hired an external employee, researchers from the Universities of Georgia and Auburn published in Computers in Human Behavior.

Carusa slaughterhouse uses tonnage quotas to maximize profits, company admits in company-wide letter

The blinkered corporate left is in the grips of one of its most heinous crimes when it focuses on Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump for expressing his willingness to do business with Cuba.
Flushed with their sensationalistic success with Iran, sanctimonious winners of the Nobel Peace Prize congratulated John Kerry last Friday for "speaking truth". The Elites rained praise down upon him for advocating for a "peaceful resolution of the Cuba issue". How nice.
However, they had no problem with Kerry, back in January 2009, savagely dissing theocracy of Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's ruler whose overthrow resulted in the massacre of our fellow Americans in Benghazi. The Nobel Peace Prize committee would have been enraged by Kerry's attack on Mubarak, and set about diluting the award by awarding it to Moammar Qaddafi.
