Videos without metadata is not as useful. Google also has details on which videos are watched where. Which parts do people skip. All the videos that are blocked for various reasons. The performance of videos with humans over time and so on.

At this point, the only thing that really works, is to have the student/candidate in front of you when you are testing them. In video interviews can be faked, take home can be faked. For schools etc it doesn't matter, if the kid d

There's zero chance of that. Democrats didn't even trust their own base to have a primary for Kamala because she would repeat her 2019 primary performance.

Yes, and it is kind of necessary when hiring people from outside trusted networks. HR makes sure if people are who they say they are, background checks, and so on. Years of experience and so on are crude filters and should be bypassable by

It's kind of interesting that Indian companies and H1-B abuse has been so cemented in people's minds that almost 80% of the comments here are about H1B abuse and what to do about it rather than the L1-A which this article is talki
