  • A few small commercial gyms have implemented this, as well as the gym at Brown University. Brown estimates that the power generated by its 50 machines is about comparable to what’s generated by the solar panels on the roof of the gym. So it’s not nothing, but gyms tend to be cavernous and expensive to run, so it’s a drop in the bucket, unfortunately.

    More unfortunate still is that the takeaway is almost always, “ugh don’t bother, it’s basically nothing” and not, “wait, why are we burning so much fuel to power this room?”

    It may technically be legal to ask about postsecondary graduation, but asking for a high school graduation year is generally considered illegal, since that’ll pretty much get you within a few years of the applicant’s age. (I’m honestly unsure whether that’s relevant though, since the first comment said “degree,” which isn’t what we call a high school diploma where I’m from.)


  • It almost seems like it would be better to quote only the range at which they intend to actually hire, rather than dangling the best case maximum you could ever potentially earn at the absolute pinnacle of your tenure in the position. But maybe other smarter-than-me people expect the top number to mean that?
