I once applied for a job where I knew the hiring manager already but of course I had to go through the whole interview process. The job description was rather generic with phrases like "3+ years of experience in C++/Java/C# t

I find statements like "boosted sales by x%" completely out of place on a resume. Imagine you are an account/sales manager at AWS - cloud sales will still go for a while, no matter what you do. So you are basically just ridin

If attributes such as age or gender are strong features for certain dependent variables that improve the predictive performance of a model, then it must be allowed to use these variables. For example, it is well known that colorectal cancer

I know it's an unpopular opinion but I have the feeling that most of these "Ethics in AI" movements are either pure marketing or an easy way in for free rider into the hyped field of AI even though they have little to contrib

That's a pretty dangerous attitude in my opinion and if you spin it further, it can quickly lead to a divided society: A bar decides that it doesn't serve Biden supporters. Would you say: No problem, go to another? What if this ot

Media platforms should train their own engineers from an early age with their own money instead of hiring them "for free" after the public has paid their school education. That's your style of argumentation and I doubt it bri

That sounds like a religion: You don't know exactly what you get, there are no guarantees but if you really believe in it (and pay your marketing church tax) you'll probably end up in CTR heaven.

Isn't it a sign of system failure when a researcher has to beg and plead to get his results published and no one is interested in his publication until someone who understands the break through happens to stumble across it?

That sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy: If a lot of investors and angels want them succeed, they will succeed. I doubt that it is always hard work and passion that make the difference in whom to invest, I think there are other variable

I wonder if citizens of Detroit made the same predictions in the 1970s. It's tempting to just linearly project the status quo into the future but looking at this graph here ( https://cdn.howmuch.net/articles/61-c98f

The variety of tools that many software engineers work with today is so large that I find it virtually impossible to fully master them. Let's say a software engineer writes a C++ application that stores documents in an inverted index a

It's a simple question of mass market: How many companies need (and are willing to pay) performance optimized C++ services? And how many need a plain old website and a simple admin interface to add some text?

My assumption would be that this can be easily solved by a bot in 2020 or am I missing something? Especially because every time I got the galaxy captcha so far, they always asked for the spiral one.

Pretending to be from a certain newspaper does not justify arrest, but he could have been taken to the police station for identity verification (possibly § 263 criminal offence of fraud according to the German Criminal Code)
