No, "difficult to teach" often just means kids who have not had a proper meal the previous night because their family cannot afford it. Try paying attention when you are chronically hungry and you understand one of many problems

This is absolutely on point. As I said in another comment, often, HR departments outsource the entire search to recruiters. Here in the US, the typical cut is 20 to 75%. For those recruiters who have negotiated higher cuts like 75%, it i

Firstly, Google tells me outright they do not source from outside recruiters, which the OP is speaking about. Perhaps it is different at executive levels or outside the US. Secondly, Google is a world-class, forward-thinking company so the

Try proving it...the evidence is stuck in some corporate recruiter system.

I think things will become even worse now that criminal "scouting" and even vetting is being done via learning models. So you may not even find hard filters or conditionals...instead the errors (or stereotypes?) would be embedded

I'm only half-joking here -- I wonder if the n value is too small for statistical significance?

This is a good list. Two more reasons: - Corporations are inefficient, sometimes the HR department is not even aware layoffs are coming - Corporations are sometimes unethical, they don't care about the unfairness of hiring a new worke

I would not go that far, but I can certainly say -- seems like half the accounts are re-tweet bots and random products I have no interest in trying to follow me.

I don't think the poster is challenging you, he is asking you for guidance in case you know of better approaches.

Tangent: I always chuckle at how prescient Minority Report was on some aspects, yet they didn't envision network storage or wireless communication -- do you remember at how they would transfer small glass disks all the time...how burde

Forget about Google Glass banning facial recognition...any CV-type activity is too process-intensive. It will burn thru the Glass battery and the entire unit becomes stove-hot in 20minutes. I know because this is exactly the problem I tac

"And there may be businesses that are okay with that. But it ought to be somewhat of a self-defeating behavior." This type of libertarian self-solution rarely works. Things do not self-defeat because the affected groups are small

I can verify they do not care about false positives. My high-flying career at Accenture ended abruptly in 2004 when I ended up on the no-fly list. Didn't get fixed until 2009, and fixed is sort of gray.

"people who are constantly gaining weight, growing facial hair, etc is impossible with today's technology;" I think we can assume many agencies have access to ALL Facebook data, Photostream data, etc. With that it is very mu

Not quite. It will be painful from a family standpoint (cannot have breakfast/dinner with family) but commute-wise I would imagine a much better experience: 1. You would be guaranteed a seat. Even when I get a seat on the MetroNorth,

I know it isnt a "technology" in the traditional sense of the word, but i had a front-row view of Interest Rate Curves over the past 15 years. They went from arcane numbers some PhDs calculated at the back of the trading floor, t

So true. I was particularly humored by Bloc's comparison chart where they failed to compare themselves against other online cram-sites but instead listed full-cost options like GA and University of Phoenix tuition! LOL!

I looked at the docs at https://tonicdev.com/docs/embed#api and it seemed pretty sparse. I would suggest several simple use-cases that are very very common across many websites, esp those that wouldnt have an active b

Totally disagree. Many VCs will limit founders' salaries to 100k or 120k or 150k. Many founders, esp the technology co-founder can easily earn 250k+ elsewhere. They are getting a larger slice of the equity because they are "inv

Lets not be silly here -- of course not everything ends up with a correlation of exactly 1 during crashes. It is an exaggeration demonstrating a general trend. In 2008, bonds AND stocks fell because of all-out panic where individuals dum

Bonds would include long term bonds, and they literally cannot get any higher in price. Rates are zero, long term rate expectations are zero for a while. This is horrible advice. The only way to go is down.
