LinkedIn's Jennifer Shappley shares how she sources for soft skills and what to look for in your own candidates. Oh, I hope "belly" made the list

I assume "adaptability" includes being able to put up with unrealistic expectations and general BS from management. (Not Kent's management of course.)

Why is it that every time I read something addresses "soft" skills the article just sort of describes how to be an adult member of the workforce?
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."
- Benjamin Disraeli

Because that's what soft skills mean.
|
|
|
|
|
The purpose of soft skills is to provide work for idiots who can't get a real job, allowing them to waffle on and on about their stupid ideas of what it means to be a grown-up.

Musk's latest project is called Neuralink and its goal is to explore technology that can make direct connections between a human brain and a computer. "Unfortunately, no one can be told what The Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

Musk's latest grandiosity also covered in the Wall Street Journal today (27): [^]
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

When Elon starts putting electrodes in his own brain, then I'll stop laughing at him.
No, I won't.

The ability to remember sounds, and manipulate them in our minds, is incredibly important to our daily lives—without it we would not be able to understand a sentence, or do simple arithmetic. New research is shedding light on how sound memory works in the brain, and is even demonstrating a means to improve it. I'm definitely going to mount some magnets in my tinfoil hat now

Elon Musk is a well-known harbinger of the potential for ill held by artificial intelligence. If you can't beat them, invest in them?

Those who accuse are those who commit the crime.
E.g. if someone constantly accuses people of lying, it's because he's an inveterate liar; and people who bang on about conspiracies only do so because they want to start conspiracies against the people/organisations they hate.
So Musk is an android, eh?
Hmm.
That does actually explain a lot.

"one reason why he thinks Mars is a worthwhile goal for human colonization: as a planet-sized doomsday bunker for what happens when AI on Earth goes rogue."
Because once on Mars, he will disconnect from earth. Please?
Seriously, though, just how bonkers is this reasoning? Even more bonkers considering that HAL just needs to open the doors.
[Edit: Just realized that I must apologize for my criticism of Elon Musk. I now realize that he is going to use only Mentats on Mars; no computers.]

Intel debuts Optane Memory as a "revolutionary" technology that could make hard drives feel like SSDs, but enthusiasts were hoping for more. Would you like a cache to go with your cached drive?

On March 25, security researcher Kevin Beaumont discovered something very unfortunate on Docs.com, Microsoft's free document-sharing site tied to the company's Office 365 service: its homepage had a search bar. That in itself would not have been a problem if Office 2016 and Office 365 users were aware that the documents they were posting were being shared publicly. Uhm... it's a feature?
You know, "radical transparency"

From what I read it sounded like everything up there is supposed to be public.
But then I read the FAQ:
For anything that you publish on Docs.com, you can set the visibility of your documents or collections to either Public or Limited.
Anything you publish with Public visibility will appear in worldwide search engine results and can be shared by you and others on social media sites. This option is a great way to get your work noticed. On the other hand, anything you publish with Limited visibility does not appear in search engine results and can be viewed only by people with whom a direct link to your content has been shared. Similarly, anything you publish with Organization visibility does not appear in search engine results and can be viewed only by those who sign in with a school or work account from your school or organization.
Not so much up to date that page, eh?
Furthermore they state:
Use Docs.com to publish your documents and files to the Web so that everyone can see and share them. Use OneDrive to work on documents together with others and to control who can see or edit your documents and files.
Sounds not like much of a difference to me
Any info how or if they use the same backbone? Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me, I know that - But then again, it's Microsoft.

All your information are belong to everyone?
I decided from the get-go to block ms uploads of my fiction work to their wonderful, perfect, un-live-without-able cloud, even before they demonstrably showed that they'd somehow turned into a company that couldn't make a good decision to save their lives.
Given that "making work available to the public" counts as first publication, I'm pretty sure that I made the right choice.
