Absolutely, I think in this situation less data on your employees is a good thing. Somebody's whim can determine a person's future. Very dark.

Imagine being called out at a talk by this guy. It'd feel more like a WWE match than an AI conference!

All DevOps Engineers are Sysadmins but not all Sysadmins are DevOps Engineers.

Hi Edent, I'll be sure to give that a listen thanks for the recommendation. I've just edited a podcast today with an A.I consultant from New York, He's been working on an A.I program that is helping increase diversity in the hiring process. I'd be happy to send it over to you when it's released, it's a great example of technology actively tackling the issues you raised in your original comments.

thanks again

Hi Edent thanks for your response. Diversity in technology is a subject we do like to touch upon in our episodes and the question you posed is great, i'll be sure to have us work it into an upcoming show.

I can also point you to some previous female guests who were on our show if you'd like. We are aware of the imbalance of male to female guests on our show and the imbalance is something we're always working on.

Hi sorry about that our website experienced some technical difficulties just after I posted this, typical I know. We're back up and running now though

Hey sorry about that annoyingly our website went down not long after I posted the link, it's working again now though if you wanna dive back in

We've often found that employers want to see a willingness and ability to learn and adapt to new challenges as opposed to a candidate having an encyclopedic knowledge of coding languages etc. With a competent knowledge of your market you can be taught the rest of your role but if you're unable to articulate your goals and mission to non-technical people you'll often come unstuck when trying to communicate what your doing to others.

This seems a lot more important in the hiring process for tech people now as technology is usually the product or output of a company as opposed to being shut up in a basement somewhere just helping a company operate.

We've just spoke to an internal IT recruiter about this and he's echoed a lot of the sentiments put across in this thread. Links below if you wanna listen :)

OMG wen u see it!

I thought this was going to be about some crushed insects used to make dyes, for the art inclined almost a click bait title ha. I've pulled another Guardian article which is about crushed bugs and cow urine used for paintings.

"Move fast and break things" great mantra

Just gonna throw our name into the pot, Venturi Ltd recruits for positions in London, NYC and Germany.

We're IT specialists recruitment agency that specialises in Big Data, Network & Security, Development and cloud & Infrastructure. http://www.venturi-group.com/

As some of you might have seen to we also produce tech industry podcasts, we thought it was a great way to give something back to our great candidates and clients.

http://www.venturi-group.com/podcast/promoting-data-science/

Recruiters often get bad press and that's unfair, there's usually a few unscrupulous people who taint the profession for the rest of us. We're in the same boat as yourself and find we get loads of positive feedback from candidates we place.

we like to give something back to our community and clients to through our tech specialist podcasts. you can listen below

Some great bits on here about effective cloud strategies

The problem with self driving cars is that you can never rely on a human to take over at a moments notice. Google perfected the self driving car over a decade ago but found that once on the motorway (Freeway for my transatlantic cousins) they literally switched of, rummaged around in the back did everything other than be able to take over the wheel at a moments notice. So google had to go back to the drawing board and design a car that could drive literally everywhere! We covered the topic in part of our recent podcast. If you'd like to listen debate or disagree! Skip ahead to 23.03 minutes.

Cheers thanks I will get in touch now

Once again hackers finding weaknesses in large corporations. David Lacey commented on this on our recent podcast

"Other people said no it'll be just the death of 1000 cuts of a lot of little incidents and I said no they'll be major Scada systems being compromised you know major major problems it will be massive the impact of cyber warfare"

This is a great article, we've just been discussing the same thing in our podcast. We're chatting to an engineering Manager about constantly learning new languages and skills to stay ahead of the game and adapt to the ever changing coding languages.

Some great insights on Erlang and objected orientated programming.

A battle that catastrophic could be seen as an early precursor to the crisis of the third century, slight dents appearing in Rome's facade and armour. A stretch maybe but worth discussing.

Interesting read I saw a similar post about this from July:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2...

Redefining mass based on an idea as opposed to a physical object took me some time to get my head around.

I mean, it does defeat the object of bacon for me really. I believe in everything in moderation but when i'm eating a pig i wanna be eating a pig ya know!

I think multi-columns are a good way to present information, it is a shame about being unable to change the column but surely that can be fixed? I'd use this if that was the case, it's a great way of pulling together newsworthy content.

I've just left the auction trade, sadly never made it to a London saleroom to work but viewed some nice sale at Bonham's Bond street (Modern British and Irish art for me). I'd second your comments though that everyone should go down and view a few, they're a great day out.

You have no social media accounts that must be liberating! I suppose you wouldn't know though as you haven't "been through the looking glass" as it were, the dark side of Facebook.

I removed my accounts for a few months and whilst it was liberating it wasn't as life changing as I thought it would be. Horse for courses I suppose.

I've found this too, seems the whole platform is just becoming a cavalcade of adverts, click bait and reaction videos. I don't post updates anymore and I only really use FB to follow local events in town i'm interested in.
