I think the point of GP comment to yours is that by reading resumes skillfully -- that is, between the lines -- and comparing with other factors (e.g. their portfolio) it's pretty easy to tell the "probably solid" from the k

The reason for this is that resume review is really ineffective as a screen. No is saying they should rely solely on resume review as a screen. What is under question here is the perceived wisdom (on Google's side) of screening for D

Not to support interventionist policies (or to deny that some of these interventions have cause great suffering) but the fundamental cause-and-effect implication here is highly disingenuous. For example - counting all 7.1 million refugees i

There is no ethical consumption under our current economic system. This is manifestly false. It may only exist in narrow domains. But it most certainly exists, and in the mainstream. I'm sure you can think of a few examples. You&#

Both the consumer and the manufacturer are responsible -- on an abstract, ethical level. But in practical terms the manufacturer has infinitely more leverage over the situation.

The goal is for everyone to be able to enjoy that. That may be the "goal". Whether public drag-outs as displayed in the OP serve to achieve that is another matter entirely.

It's also okay to not assume that certain categories of people are sheltered and naive, based solely on their gender status and inferred ancestral composition. And in need of a public calling-out and talking-to, based solely on those

One would think that if NFTs "worked" then it wouldn't be necessary to use out-of-band mechanisms to "fight" this kind of duplication.

For example, El Salvador recently made Bitcoin legal tender. The government has proclaimed BTC as legal tender. Whether people will actually use it is another matter. Current indications are this move is wildly unpopular and its ado

Seems a much better solution would be to let the drivers go bankrupt? That's the spirit - just fuck all these people. If it's possible for startups why not for cab drivers? Might there be a difference between startup founders

It's true that you'll always have your problems with you. It's also true that "wherever you go, there you are." But for every set of problems S₁ ... there's a secondary set S₂ that consists basically of "

Any guesses as to when this chart goes to singularity? Actually, an exponential curve can go forever before it reaches a singularity. Because, you know, "math". Not to say that over-reliance on QE isn't a problem. But it

1. The technology does not solve a real problem. What about money laundering? And does it not make the time-honored profession of ransoming so much more ... frictionless? I am so tired of hearing these sour-grape protestations that crypt

Anyone who expresses an ounce of concern about where all of these products are made is 'hung up' and 'naive', would seem to be your main point here.
