I mean, if you argue that way during the interview I'd pass... Nobody thinks you're asked to do all that in a one-day interview.

No, "should be" as in, it must be reviewed but can be skipped if there's a concern like revealing the author identity in a double-blind process.

Actually, figures should be checked during the reviewing process. It's not an excuse.

The biggest problem with Frontiers for me is that there are some handy survey articles that are cited like 500 times. It seems that Interdisciplinary surveys are hard to publish in a traditional journal, and as a result 500 articles cited this handy overview article for readers who would need an overview.

The article I checked was in a reasonable quality, and it's a shame I can't cite it just because it's in Frontiers.

It's how this publisher works. They make it insanely difficult for reviewers to reject a submission.

Also, they often don't read more than a few lines. I applied as a dev for a company which I had many friends inside. They all knew my skills. The problem was the high-level managers because they didn't read the memo (and didn't even read my CV), assumed I can't do engineering because I was an academic at the time.

an engineering manager said during an interview, “OK, we’re going to build a To Do List app right now,” a process that might normally take weeks.

Tbf you can do that in one day with ChatGPT, although it requires some generic software engineering skills. But that's the point.

Even if you don't complete the task, the process of coding can prove your skill level in a positive way.

AIs are inaccurate. Conservatives are stupid.

I didn't have my glasses on, and wondered why the Tiny Dick Concerts penetrated into my TL.

Tbf it was always a nightmare to manage driver conflicts on Windows 95.

Checks kbin and kbin app status. Sad, but the burnout part is true at least.

There's the horror of scientific software written by researchers I'll share here. ~~They are fired~~ The contract expires every 2 years and users keep using the code if it's successful. Some projects are closed source, even...

 

Support stupid war, end up vacationing in North Korea.

Scores of Russians have flown to North Korea for a private tour — the first foreign tour group to visit the reclusive state since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The Russian leader was given the opportunity to expound familiar grievances unchallenged.

Inflation, partisanship and the pandemic have made them glummer than the numbers suggest they should feel

I think the author just looked up statistics to reach a conclusion convenient to them.

Just ask the actual people. (Why didn't they do interviews?) There are so many details lost in their cherrypicked numbers. Prices, wages, housings, they are very bad according to what I read online, contrary to what the author argues citing average growths. Maybe they have no grasp of reality anymore?

 

The video is bombastic, even by Mr Trump's standards. Just consider the title: God Made Trump.

I used to like The Economist, but this is Nazis propaganda right on their page.

Israel, by contrast, does not meet the test of genocide. There is little evidence that Israel, like Hamas, “intends” to destroy an ethnic group—the Palestinians. Israel does want to destroy Hamas, a militant group, and is prepared to kill many civilians in doing so. While some Israeli extremists might want to eradicate the Palestinians, that is not a government policy.

This is not okay. This is Nazi logic. Nazi, fascist logic, from The Economist.

Even Nazi Germany did not make killing the official "intention" or government policy in my understanding. At least not always. It was announced as a safety guarantee, for example.
