It’s not clear to me that the article actually contradicts it

If an org can’t tell who is good and worthy of promotion when they’re working for them every day, they have no chance of doing so in an interview

No, we are not close. Walk pads and haptic gloves will not solve it. VR is not immersive. The people in the movie (or book) are IN THE WORLD. They teeter over ledges, and jump over things. They touch things. They move around. They fiddle wi

I would not bet on my friends feeling present if they were in such a distraction prone environment though

Seems irrelevant if the people getting the job by cheating are considered high performers getting promotions

I don’t agree that those things are at all related to not preparing for work presentations

8 friends at home, playing VR poker, each watching different TV, talking to other people, and playing other games on their own?

I’ve always thought a suit or even just patches with tubes that could inflate to apply pressure could work.

I find it pretty crazy to see the current state of VR and conclude Ready Player One is not far off. We are nowhere close.

But that’s not cheating on presenting, that’s just doing a bad job, no? That is, just visible incompetence?

Don’t do things that are not useful, enjoyable, or rewarding.

If the assessment has no relationship to the job requirements then the test assessment cannot be justified either

What does spitball mean? I don’t prepare for presentations but I can’t tell how that would be cheating.

There are not enough people like you. Like 5% of movie theater seats get sold. The only way to be profitable is to be able to sell out the popular films.

Is it? Idk. I feel like Japanese media always shows these disgusting low lifes. There’s always some super perv who wants to take advantage of chaos to try to rape a girl. But… it feels like Japan is the least likely country for this to happ

Not a great example. This guy has a severe neurological illness (although to be clear, I don’t think it’s a mental illness affecting his decision making capabilities). The hospital has said he can stay in the hospital, die, or get care at h

> It opens with a radio reporting that a gunman has opened fire in an old people’s care home – the latest in an epidemic of violence targeted at the elderly. This is… dumb, right? Like it would be extremely unlikely to occur in Japan? Id

I’m not clear what he is talking about here. It sounds like he is referring the lack of the right to hold certain jobs. Which is I suppose is adjacent to the gig economy controls.

The risk profile is different though. An employer is going to see you every day. They’re incentivized at least on some level to have a good faith relationship. They can fire you, but that inconveniences them even if you’re totally fungible.

This is a very confusing article to me. It features a woman who talked about how her family had no work opportunities. But then had a job as a dental receptionist for 15 years, and got married to a guy with a sales manager job. She has boug

Seems like a… dumb quote to me. Failure to account for externalities is a regulation policy failure and nothing more.

Trusting the results is basically impossible now though. Even if they’re solution focused, you don’t know if they were adjusted in scale.

Their goal is to incur that cost. It is a short term goal.

Yes they are. They’re very clear about this. They are trying to raise unemployment as a lever to reduce inflation. That is not to say they want unemployment to rise indefinitely, but they do want it to rise.

Theoretically, yes. But is that what is happening in practice?
