Still not enough info. The race is legally a tie if the times are within a certain (I think a millisecond) interval, and with runners this similar in ability, the probability that nobody wins is non-zero.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do employers actually know or care about lying on resume?English
34·3 years agoEmployers love it because it gives them plausible legal cover for two essential freedoms:
If they like you anyway, they can hire you and defend any discrimination claims with the fact that you had the strongest resume.
Whenever they stop liking you, they can expose the lie and fire you on the spot for good cause.
So really, it’s a win-win situation for both you and your prospective employer.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's with the corporate obsession with customer feedback?English
11·3 years agoThey don’t deserve my opinion if they’re that irresponsible with the data. I just stopped doing them when I learned that.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that sounds 100% false but is actually 100% true?English
85·3 years agoExactly. It’s merely our human preference for those types of files that allow them to work at all.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?
9·3 years agoHRT was originally used to treat menopausal women at risk for osteoporosis, who are at higher risk due to being old.
I’m aware that transgenders also have a higher than otherwise expected mortality (whether taking hormones or not), but they may not be numerous enough to move the needle against millions of old women.
If I don’t block ads, then I’m stealing from the advertiser who’s paying per impression to someone who isn’t interested in their crap.
If the ad makes noise, moves around the screen, crashes my browser, or otherwise actively interferes with my ability to obtain the information I was looking for, It’ll leave me with such a negative impression that I won’t buy anything from that brand, now or ever – or from the creator who allowed them to break an otherwise good website.
So really, by blocking ads, I’m defending the good reputation of both creators and their sponsors.
I was told it was better for load balancing if we didn’t all use the same one. So I just looked for one that had easy signups and didn’t seem overeager to block stuff. Apparently, some from this instance come form /r/china. I’m not, but I do drink coffee. Anyway, I think it’s working out so far; better than reddit anyway.
