favouritism

Well, as we saw with iOS, inconsistent policies and favouritism don't necessarily kill a platform. I think this is a big deal because the law of demand is a big deal.

There is favouritism in the selection process and corruption at every level.

Government favouritism and sketchy business practices. Who would have thought?

If your neighbours ask for favouritism toward certain apps that you don't want that's functionally no different from the ISP doing it for you without consulting anyone.

It beggars belief how people continue to support this ridiculous favouritism of the well-off with "well, shouldn't be doing that anyway" handwave.

Org/wiki/Audition#Instrumentalists_2 > In many major orchestras, a cloth screen may be used at some stages of the audition process, to protect the audition panel from allegations of favouritism or sexism. So they don't see the musician.

EE does have an NFC payment service now, but for some reason they only let you use it on a few specific phones, not including my HTC. I'm not sure if this is down to differences in the hardware or just favouritism. I'm hoping that Apple Pay will at least push more places and services to support NFC payments in general.

As for nepotism or favouritism, that just takes some minimal self-discipline, imho... So while I am 100% on board with transparency, I also believe it can have a backlash.

There are good reasons for increasing diversity, and if that means women, with their naturally lower muscle mass get a lower PT requirement, that is not really favouritism.

It complicates matters tremendously and opens you up to potential lawsuits and any move you make after that will be classed as favouritism with the rest of your crew. It also makes for a very uncomfortable atmosphere in case the relationship ever sours.

Modernising hosting and support is great, but I thought it was the inconsistent policies and favouritism, and maybe the nature of the medium that killed that scene, not lack of hosting support.

Forget the corruption, crazy laws, favouritism and racketeering. The biggest problem you'll face doing business in Italy is the wide-spread, deep-rooted "it can wait" mentality that is really prevalent.

The sanctions that Google applies indicate that it is unable to effectively index a free web and is instead relying on editorial control and favouritism.

One could argue that people care more about women than men, but one could also argue that women need to be defended more than men, which flips the discussion of sexism or gender-favouritism on its head. But generally, I definitely find there to be a gendered response, depending on the target demographic.

The problem with letting prosecutors not prosecute to the full extent of the law on their own judgement allows for selective favouritism, like white college kids getting off with a warning where a black street kid gets serious time. Relying on prosecutors to be lenient or "do the right thing" places the defence in the wrong hands - a court that allows a strong defence to succeed over or moderate a prosecution should be at the heart of the justice system.

Bureaucracy, favouritism, politicking, etc. With a basic income, we can reduce spending by abolishing all social assistance, reduce the amount of government employees by firing the bureaucrats who used to deny/approve people for benefits, and simply guarantee everyone a minimum amount of support. This has the benefits of reducing bureaucracy, favouritism, and politicking.

Multiple choice with automated marking also means you don't have to decipher students' bad handwriting; you can't recognise students' writing and apply subconscious favouritism; you have to ask questions with unambiguously right answers; it's simple to be consistent with marking; and rates of human error are reduced. With that said, you can't teach someone to write an essay without having them write an essay and giving them feedback; and you can't check a student's math problem working and point out where they make a mistake.
