Far from free here, but yeah already tested of course. :) No covid.

Norwegian here. Blame entirely justified. Our greenwashing is gross and dishonest.

I’d love if it was more popular!

Mighy try and make at home. Parfait ice cream is reasonably uncomplicated. Wonder if I should make it from dried apples.

Yessss, that was an embarrassing omission in my list.

My bank: “We have a new valuation on your home! Open your app to see it!”

…

“It’s down 2%!”

Fair! But why “Pirates!” but not Civilization? Formally, they are all named with the prefix.

I was heartbroken when it ended. Was a big fan of Dara already, now I love all of them.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Can you give an example of a possibility you think of? In its simplest form it’s exactly your house wifi if you disconnect your internet uplink. Anything bigger is also exactly a subset of the current internet disconnected from the rest, plus you having to maintain infrastructure.

I got mine from Audible.

The audiobook is voiced by her, if that’s your medium :)

Gossip, not news.

there are many details in one image, and the chances of some player recognizing one of those details is an instance of the birthday problem?

That would be a valid model. But you are still right that it doesn’t apply: It would give the effect that a different geoguesser would get the picture right every test, while we are seeing consistent results from the top geoguessers.

I see your point, but the Birthday Problem would apply differently.

It is the chance of “collision” between randomly picked elements from two large enough sets of comparable random data. If I understand correctly, the random data here would be “geographical fact” like bush density and road width. Set A is geoguessers’ geographical knowledge, and set B is pictures’ geographical features.

So if we picked hundreds of random picture and hundreds of geoguessers and asked them, the chance of one guessing one image is high. And the person would be largely dfferent every time.

In this case, we can give one specific geoguesser a large amount of pictures and that same geoguesser would get most of them right.

That’s the best response, imho

As a hiring manager for nearly 4 years straight, dealing with way way more than 100 applicants for some positions, I know it takes minutes at most.

All hiring systems have ways to send batch emails to rejected candidates.

If you don’t have a hiring system for some reason, it’s still just hitting reply/ctrl-v/send to each applicant you move out of the “possible candidate” inbox.

Giving a reason “why” tends to hit people badly if they didn’t specifically ask, so a stock response is not only easy to give, but the best response. Whether and how to respond in more detail to people asking for “why”, is a less easy decision but good if you are able to.

You and what army?

I guess he only needed tool assistance for one of those options.

There are a few benign-ish ways this happens, based on my experience from working on “the other side”. They reflect shittily on the hiring manager, but not on you:

You got no immediate rejection because they did consider you valid for the position, just not first place. Then they got a match on the first place and stopped giving a shit about the applicant backlog.

They got too many applicants and threw half in the garbage.

Upper management put a freeze, or reduction, on hiring right as they put an ad out.

They have a person already picked for the position, but they will get in legal or corporate or PR trouble if they don’t pretend to do a proper hiring process.

Their application process, human or computer, lost your CV.
