If 1/3 people in certain countries use ad-blockers, I'd venture to guess that they are no exclusively without value. In fact, since they are probably more savvy than the rest, they might be better targets.

Presumably, such a system would escalate to a more heavy weight authentication. We're already seeing something similar with sites trying to figure out if you're a bot or not. For example, if you make edits on stackoverflow, the si

Raising it from 12 to 18 clearly had a very positive effect. I'd wager that there is more to be had by raising it further. So this is a cold hard HR calculation - not something I suggest they do out of altruism. Although that would be

The biggest failing of Holywood wrt AI is clearly that they always bunch it together with great advances in robotics and neuroscience. It makes little sense that these technologies should evolve at the exact same time and often at the same

I found that interesting as well. If that's true - and I assume it is, if the author says so - it's completely bonkers. I wonder what the purpose of those in-house recruiters really is, if all they do is source candidates with ped

A lot of the comments here tells you not to get taken advantage of (financially) and how to maximise your worth etc. I don't think that's wrong per se, but I also think that may be better advise for someone a bit further in their

I feel that either you misunderstood me or I misunderstand you. I'm leaning towards the first option. By which I mean - There's a distinction between the kind of interview that happens between a founder and an investor and the one
