I'm using a Moto X Play with Android 7.1.1. In the "do not disturb"-mode you can select "only important interruptions" which only lets through phone calls or notifications from your contacts.

Even if you get hired, you still have to show up for work and can be fired later due to the same bias.

If both the application and the work is completely remote and anonymous it might be possible to avoid most bias, but that's only feasible in IT and a couple other sectors and even there it's not common.

People are going to fake a lot more degrees and other qualifications.

When they come in for an in-person interview racial/gender/age/whatever bias is still going to be there.

Only way to prevent this would be to forbid in-person interviews before hiring/signing a conract, but then companies would presumably simply stop hiring from applications, because the qualifications are unreliable and they can't get a character impression of the applicant.

Hiring by reference from existing employees would become the norm (maybe it already is).

How do you know how long it takes you to fall asleep ? I try to base my alarm on 1.5 hour sleep cycles (4.5, 6 or 7.5 hours) but sometimes I'm lying awake in bed for two hours, so I don't know how to set the alarm.

Is it possible to do this across an entire monitor ? Could the NSA (or anyone else) be filming us through our screens ?

Would it be possible to resolve Electron's performance issues by "precompiling"/prerendering the HTML and CSS (+ maybe scripts) ? As long as the app UI stays the same, it should be cached in an optimized form. (sorry if that already exists in Electron)
