i have the same first.last@gmail.com as yourself and a one with first two initials with last name. I've never gotten a single email in the 18 years or so I've had them meant for another person with my name. And I know there are 3-4 people with my exact name, including one with the same middle initial, working in the same industry or field. Never seen it happen to a family member or friend, either.

HR or the recruiter cares. They generally do the first line of vetting after AI. Do they know what certifications matter? Do they know how to properly assess a non traditional career path for "equivalent experience"? They generally don't and opt to weed out on degrees unless there's a lot of pushback.

That's why it's difficult to get an interview with a live, knowledgeable human without having a degree. It's not that the dev team (or whomever) cares. It's that the people who don't know *do* care.

You don't care that they have a resume, which is normal and expected. HR and the taleo "AI" use their critical thinking skills to weed out candidates who don't have a degree (easy to understand) or the equivalent practical experience (hard to understand). They are gatekeeping for any number of possible reasons.

What percentage of candidates do you interview without a degree?

For me, it's probably zero or extremely close unless they're personally referred by someone. That experience has been the same across my current job, multiple large consulting companies, and 12+ years in finance / fintech.

Why was this modded insightful?

How did this get modded as insightful?

Something the size of a van being crushed in the middle of the north atlantic wouldn't even merit a blip on navy sensors.

We already socialize the expense of homeowner's insurance via Citizen's insurance and its ability to levy a surcharge on every single property owner in the state. Might as well just fucking pool the entire risk pool and have people pay in. We're losing larger companies left and right, and the small ones preventing progress / bribing the legislature are being driven into bankruptcy. God forbid the supermajority government do something a bout it!

Before last Thanksgiving I had the option to essentially halve the cost of my HO insurance on a new building code condo (~1400 -> 600-700) and then Ian hit. Those offers all went up in smoke because Allstate left. My existing state farm went up 400 bucks and I count myself lucky. I know single property homeowners who are seeing 500% increase in cost.

Whether or not this was malicious indifference or just carelessness, this is just another reason why TikTok needs strict oversight and a complete separation from chinese ownership. I don't have a good roadmap for extrication or whatever and realize there are huge constitutional implications.

Farmers already get billions in handouts and subsidies every single year.

His analysis has gone so far beyond numbers tho and it's such complete and utter dross

Yeah garbage totally gets nominated for best picture (and should have won).

Right I'm not tied to inflation or COL or whatever. But there needs to be a built-in adjustment mechanism to account for all sorts of things that a static number would lose value against.

Realistically congress via FDIC should have pegged that amount to inflation, but for some ungodly reason the government loves to just set static levels for monetary legislative points without factoring in the entirety of history of currency and humanity.

Every time the banks try to come up with a workaround or the government relaxes / removes barriers, the banking system crashes. For the love of god, please stop removing safeguards that have worked for 80+ years when we know removing those barriers caused, in part, the 2009 recession and this SV / regional bank meltdown.

I wouldn't have expected this kind of trash from the economist.

He might be russian ethnically and from a citizen standpoint, but he's also an american citizen per the WH.

We are deeply concerned by the troubling reports that Evan Gershkovich, an American citizen, has been detained in Russia.
