Twitter and armchair activism really seems to have conditioned people to think that just complaining about something on social media is enough to warrant real change.

It should be illegal for companies to post ghost jobs. Saying you’re hiring when you’re not really is fraud and should be treated as such.

"GHOST JOBS" are INFECTING The Job Market | #wsj - YouTube
This has been going on for YEARS. I have confronted more than one hiring manager about this. They literally put up a job to get applicants IN CASE they have an opening in the future and need it filled quickly. Spending hours applying for jobs that don't exist. They also refuse to TRAIN people for specialty jobs and get upset nobody is applying that know everything.

I once interviewed for a manager job which included upgrading their office IT. They asked some of the things I'd do. So of course I gave an example. Next thing I know they decide to "not fill this position at this time." That's when I realized they used the interviews as free consultations.

Take this with a grain of salt: You’re seeing this all wrong man. The job market isn’t so deterministic like college admissions where you must make the best out of a narrow time window. From now until you retire, you have many opportunities to prove yourself and move up. You got the first job. Now work hard and get to where you wanna be. Also, don’t feel entitled to something because you went to x college and have y friends. A friend I grew up with since middle school is a billionaire now. He got into Google and quit after 6 months to do his startup. I always made slightly better grades than h…
Anyone else feel like... they just totally blew it, completely screwed up? : r/csMajors
You need only one offer from any company, you wait there until you hit an intermediate level and then carefully choose your next company with great pay and that's it. I made the mistake of taking one year contract roles all my career and now I'm left with nothing.

The process is quite simple: Make Provocative Statement: Begin with a provocative statement that appears entirely absurd or contradictory. For example, I might say, "Cars don't need wheels." Engage the Statement: Fight back against your bias to reject the statement. Engage with it in good faith. How might the statement be true? What would that world look like? Explore the new ideas and possibilities. Using our example, I might start envisioning how a car would move without wheels (perhaps glide or sit on a magnetic field?). Extract Useful Concepts: From the exploration, pull out any creative i…

Lateral Thinking is a problem solving technique that involves an indirect, creative approach. Traditional thinking—which we can refer to as Vertical Thinking—is grounded in logic and restricted by its focus on existing patterns, frameworks, and rules. The aim of Lateral Thinking is to break free from the confines of Vertical Thinking to formulate more creative, novel solutions to complex problems.

There was no labeled information about the people, just various features describing their characteristics such as age, gender, income, etc. The algorithm simply found groups of people that may be similar to each other based on these features and organized them into these groups. Due to the absence of labels, we don't know what exactly these groups represent, just that the algorithm found the people in each group similar to the others in that group for some reason, and dissimilar to people from other groups for another reason.

In clustering, the key idea is to divide the data into groups such that each group shares similar properties and each group is as dissimilar as possible to the other groups.
Unsupervised Learning: Making Sense of Unstructured Data - Great Learning
Unsupervised Learning is a category of techniques that train computers to use a set of unlabeled / unseen data and learn by themselves. The algorithm is provided with a large volume of data and expected to identify hidden patterns.
Unsupervised Learning: Making Sense of Unstructured Data - Great Learning
Supervised Learning: The algorithm has prior data (labeled data) to learn from. Unsupervised Learning: The algorithm has no prior labeled data to learn from i.e., it learns from unlabeled data by finding patterns among examples and grouping them accordingly. Reinforcement Learning: The algorithm learns patterns or behaviors in a recursive manner by taking actions to maximize a certain reward, and uses feedback from the environment to learn the best action to take under the right circumstances in order to maximize that reward.

Researchers say studies show that superagers appear to be more resilient to the slings and arrows of life, and are more extroverted and less neurotic.

pleasant puzzles like Sudoku are not enough to provide the benefits of superaging. Neither are the popular diversions of various “brain game” websites. You must expend enough effort that you feel some “yuck.” Do it till it hurts, and then a bit more.
Opinion | How to Become a ‘Superager’ - The New York Times
The road to superaging is difficult, though, because these brain regions have another intriguing property: When they increase in activity, you tend to feel pretty bad — tired, stymied, frustrated. Think about the last time you grappled with a math problem or pushed yourself to your physical limits. Hard work makes you feel bad in the moment. The Marine Corps has a motto that embodies this principle: “Pain is weakness leaving the body.” That is, the discomfort of exertion means you’re building muscle and discipline. Superagers are like Marines: They excel at pushing past the temporary unpleasan…

Relationships are insular worlds. The deeper the relationship, the more incomprehensible the world is to others. You have shared jokes, shared memories, you keep tunneling under.

It becomes easier to stay within your circle of competence when you focus on outcome over ego.
Understanding your Circle of Competence: How Warren Buffett Avoids Problems - Farnam Street
You have to figure out what your own aptitudes are. If you play games where other people have the aptitudes and you don’t, you’re going to lose. And that’s as close to certain as any prediction that you can make. You have to figure out where you’ve got an edge. And you’ve got to play within your own circle of competence.

I couldn’t have given her $200 million worth of Berkshire Hathaway stock when I bought the business because she doesn’t understand stock. She understands cash. She understands furniture. She understands real estate. She doesn’t understand stocks, so she doesn’t have anything to do with them. If you deal with Mrs. B in what I would call her circle of competence… She is going to buy 5,000 end tables this afternoon (if the price is right). She is going to buy 20 different carpets in odd lots, and everything else like that [snaps fingers] because she understands carpet. She wouldn’t buy 100 shares…

I want to think about things where I have an advantage over other people. I don’t want to play a game where people have an advantage over me. I don’t play in a game where other people are wise and I am stupid. I look for a game where I am wise and they are stupid. And believe me it works better. God bless our stupid competitors.

In fact, it’s often the case that extreme skills in one area create extreme weaknesses in others.
Understanding your Circle of Competence: How Warren Buffett Avoids Problems - Farnam Street
Within your circle of competence, you operate with an advantage. As you approach the perimeter (the limitations of your knowledge), your advantage starts to reduce. As you cross the perimeter, not only does your advantage vanish, but it transfers to other people. Suddenly, you find yourself playing in an area where others have an edge.

I spent the first decade of my adulthood amassing a network of talented, connected friends all over the world, people who I could summon with a smartphone.
The friendship problem - by Rosie Spinks
And there, I think, lies the crux of the friendship problem: We are so burned out by the process of staying afloat in a globalized, connected world that we simply don’t have the energy for the kinds of in-person, easy interactions that might actually give us some energy and lifeforce back.

Those of us who have kids are realizing how insane it is for two income-earning adults to attempt to raise a child without the unpaid, accessible help of family or community close by.
The friendship problem - by Rosie Spinks
Friendships are, by their very nature, made of friction. To know what is going on in someone’s day-to-day life, to make plans with them, and then reschedule those plans when someone inevitably gets sick, and then bring over Calpol or soup or an extra laptop charger. To water their plants while they’re away, to ask them to take your kids when you’re feeling sad, or for help getting rid of mice in your house. To show up for the walk you planned even when you’re a vulnerable anxious mess — this is all friction.
The friendship problem - by Rosie Spinks
I think that an adult needs to play freely on the street as well. For us as adults, that means talking to people in the queue with you, talking to people on the subway, talking to people when you create any kind of group. Book club, movie club, sports club. You stay in the practice of experimentation, doubt, of the paradox of people: You need people very much but the very people that you need are the ones that can reject you.
The friendship problem - by Rosie Spinks
Modern loneliness masks itself as hyper connectivity. And so people have easily 1000 virtual friends, but no one they can ask to feed their cat. That loneliness, which is really a depletion of the social capital, is extremely powerful.

Life-long friends make new life choices, drift apart. The friendship fizzles into WhatsApp volleys back and forth, and then someone doesn’t answer the last message, and then it’s a year before you ever talk again.

As a child, everything is new and bizarre, so every moment is a memory. As a 40 YO, nothing is really new, so days just seem like one long string. It's just that homie. Perception plays a huge role. My advice to stop feeling like days bass by is to force yourself to learn matrix computation algebra. That shit slows down time to a crawling halt.

When we ask for more from friendship, we also get more disappointment, conflict, mismatch. There is no such thing as closeness without friction.
the friendship theory of everything
Almost everyone who’s unhappy is unhappy because they feel isolated. The best cure for isolation is a strong friend group. So much of happiness is having someone you can get a last-minute dinner with on a Monday night, or ask to water your plants while you’re gone for a week. The opposite of loneliness, as it were.

Every job I’ve had I’ve pretty much gotten through a friend. Every person I’ve ever dated has been a friend of a friend.

“romantic relationships/best friends/therapists are critical for the same reason, where this person can become the primary person who explains you to *you*, the supplement to your internal monologue, and can rewire your understanding of yourself for way better or for way worse.”

10 years later, my friends’ ambitions have both been realized and tempered. Many of them now either run or work happily at successful businesses; almost all of them have now lived through extreme work and personal life disappointments. They are doing what they want to do, and they have discovered that it is hard.
