Question is how do you prove it? And what can you do about it? A few years back a recruiter was gushing at my resume and said the hiring manager wants to talk to you but wants to know a particular gap in my resume when I left prior employ

I applaud you for trying to provide for your parents. I used to do the same, I even gave my dad a lump sum which allowed him to buy an apartment. Nowadays, I try to ask if he needs money before sending money.

I was excited to read about Tesla's "autopilot" until I read the details. To me as a consumer, autopilot would let me get in my car after dinner in SF, set the destination as Las Vegas and wake up in the morning at Vegas.
