Is there a mirror of the video anywhere? I'd be interested in hearing exactly what was said.

Milk is ultra-processed. Lots of folks consider milk to be a healthy beverage option (in moderation, like everything else). Vinegar is ultra-processed and is believed to have some health benefits. [1] Coffee, same deal. Ultra-processed, bel

You've extended the analogy beyond its intent or demonstration to show what, exactly? "70% of calorie intake" is not some magic figure. There is nothing inherently important or mythical about that number.

The complete lack of rigor and the use of shock-headlines around "ultra-processed" foods drives me nuts. It conveys very little useful information. Pharmaceuticals are ultra-processed and completely unnatural, yet many of them are

After Snowden blew the lid off the NSA's mass surveillance program, why are we here asking questions about whether some particular type of surveillance has or hasn't happened in the USA? The USA is absolutely capable of expanding

Do I understand your design right in that private keys are backed up to Google Drive or iCloud? Giving all my login information to a third party seems like an awful idea. How are the keys secured from Google and Apple? What is the contingen

Cancellation suffers from social pressure. If the mob cancelled someone then you have to, too, otherwise you're canceled next. At least with a ballot, your vote is a secret.

Should I take this comment to mean that you are not against the sort of blackballing that happens to people with criminal histories? I mean, it's just social ostracism, right? Why would we have a problem with people not being able to f

by dolni 5y ago
They're both social consequences. Criminals who have served their time and are released often have a lot of trouble finding work or renting because of their criminal history. Liberal people often decry this as unjust. So now we're

I didn't say criminals being able to reintegrate was a bad thing. I'm simply pointing out the apparent double-think here.
375.
by dolni 5y ago
The irony is so thick, it is palpable. Leftist politics suggest that criminals should have a second chance and be able to reintegrate into society. But do something completely legal that I don't like, and you're cancelled forever.

It seems to me like you would be the type of person to respond to "good morning" with "don't tell me what type of day to have!" Nobody is a mind reader. If your best response to someone trying to put positivity in t

It would be just as easy to take your entire argument and frame it as such: If we have an interview system that works for the vast majority of people, why do we need to introduce risk by substantially changing it to help very few people? If

Well, you only quoted and responded to one part of my argument. > It's identically disingenuous to suggest that such a difference in quantity does not manifest a difference in quality. Huh? I specifically addressed that when I state

> that’s not an option on a 1 minute per question interview. Why do you assume that all interviews are structured that way? They aren't. I have interviewed with Google and that was not how most of my interview process was conducted.

Of course it is that simple. A quarter is made up of a bunch of hours. Nobody is asking an interviewee to have a full product prototype ready for demo inside an hour. What they do is present some problem to you and ask you to reason through

That's a ridiculous comparison. Time pressure is directly tied to performance. Sometimes, stuff breaks and wouldn't it be great if it got fixed in half an hour instead of four hours? Projects sometimes have deadlines. You are not

People have been cheating on tests for as long as tests have been around. That is born from experience. You haven't made any compelling argument to support why a job interview would be different in that regard.

I think the most useful context for tone would be to weed out people who display anger, irritation, or snark. Especially when the situation doesn't call for it. > In additions, you will have "false positives" in the form o

It's well established that tone of voice conveys a lot of information when communicating. If a candidate says something during a phone call that makes the interviewer uncomfortable or have reservations, that's absolutely a legitim

It doesn't mean you have to get rid of them, but you should probably think about what the pitfalls are and how best to address them. I have written about those elsewhere in this thread, so I won't repeat them here.

Well, for one thing, if you have "normal" employees who can conduct a regular interview process, they might raise some red flags in how they conduct themselves in person that wouldn't be apparent in a remote setting. One exam

You raise good points and I am of the mind that this is a difficult problem without silver bullets. I don't believe there is any way to create and vet a "100% bias-free guaranteed" interview process. That said, our industry d

Do the accommodations as stated not make you think that cheating an interview will become very easy? "I need extra time for my interview" and "I'm uncomfortable with a phone call" sounds like a very easy way to get
