Not customer friendly

Last month I connected our CRM and found that Wix DNS doesn't allow for more than 1 MX record so switch to Cloudflare. The poor 2nd level engineer I chatted with about this issue thought having more than 1 MX record was a bad idea. Does this prove the level of experience in their teams or corporate directive?

When this happened I decided I was going to change hosts. It was time to redesign the site so looked at when our term ended to make sure I had time before renewal. The end of Aug.

I started redesiging and building the new site and find Id been charge 19 days before renewal. I chatted with a rep who refused this refund request. She said, our terms... So, you recharged to make sure there wasnt disruption to our service. Fine. But if my term hasn't started, and no services consumed shouldnt I be refunded?

There are BBB complaints for this same billing issue.

Amex to the rescue.

Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiring

AI summary in case some havent seen it.

The Stanford study was a landmark research project, not a controlled experiment with test applicants, but an analysis of real-world hiring data.

Here are some explainers and reactions from creators:

The study, titled "Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiring," was conducted by researchers from Stanford University, Chapman University, and Northeastern University. It analyzed over 4 million job applications from 3.4 million applicants to 156 employers across 11 industries.

Key findings from the study include:

• Racial Disparities: The research found that 26% of Black applicants and 15% of Asian applicants had applied to positions where AI screening algorithms showed adverse impact (discrimination) against their racial group.

• Algorithmic Monoculture: Many employers use the same third-party hiring vendors. This means a single negative assessment from one company can affect a candidate's chances across multiple organizations, leading to what the researchers call "systemic rejection" or an "algorithmic blackball".

• "Resume Black Hole": The study's findings help explain why many applicants feel their resumes disappear into a black hole. When companies use identical algorithms, a rejection from one can act as a blacklist across many others, even for qualified candidates. The ATS keeps the score for your resume for over 730 days. So, if you apply elsewhere that score follows you.

The research has been widely discussed for its implications on fairness and transparency in the hiring process.
