My father is now retired and still meets regularly with his former colleagues from various employers.
I've known some of them since I was little and practically grew up with a few of their children. I am still in close contact with some of them and they are definitely my childhood friends.
But are his former coworkers his friends? I don't know, but I know that I want the same for me and my kids.
there is a recent 5-part documentary about berlin, its unique history since the fall of the wall, especially the nightlife, culture, investments and projects, housing etc
this is a perfectly reasonable decision when hiring for a startup, why waste hours, that you don't have, on interviews testing the candidate when you can lookup their past work
Considering how important networking is to startup businesses, you'd think a startup founder would put a little more weight on an employee referral than only considering their GitHub profile.
Most experienced software developers in the US also aren't active open source contributors. Most experienced developers who have contributed to open source probably did so as part of their job whether because they worked for an open source business or because they fixed an issue with an open source project that was important to their employer's business.
I personally have contributions to an open source project because I was employed by it for around 3 years but I generally spend my free time on hobbies other than writing code.
> It has been hypothesized that Amundsen Sea warming will respond to future climate change and may be amenable to mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions6,9,10. However, this hypothesis has not been adequately tested. Existing future projections of ice-shelf basal melting are generally not reliable in the Amundsen Sea, a region which is frequently biased cold or poorly resolved in the underlying ocean models11,12. Reference 13 produced the first future projections using a regional model of the Amundsen Sea, which simulated an increase in basal melting. However, this study only considered a single forcing scenario, the worst-case scenario of extreme fossil fuel use, and did not account for internal climate variability.
If you were to say "they have just decided to go with the most alarming scenario possible and throw the scientific method to the wind" I think it would fit the description in the abstract.
This is what happens when the established parties refuse to do anything about it and don't even address the issue seriously, instead immediately labeling people who see the problem as "Nazis." The obvious conclusion from this is that these people are inevitably supporting parties that see this is an issue.
this decision is not motivated by merit, it's entirely motivated by race.
and they have no intentions of using a merit based approach for applicants because that would result in an even more white and asian dominant student pool.
without the legacy pool they now have more wiggle room to juice their "merit-based" approach so that they can admit more blacks without getting busted for illegal affirmative action.
