Тема найма через автоматизированные системы сейчас довольно актуальна. Проблем с трудоустройством много — конкуренция, неправильно составленное резюме, неудачное собеседование.

Давай разрушим эти стены, их здесь быть не должно…

Три года назад я написал статью “Интернет-цензура и обход блокировок: не время расслабляться”. Перечитывая ее сейчас, спустя три года, не могу избавиться от двоякого чувства: с одной стороны я почти во всем оказался прав касательно того, как будут развиваться события, усиливаться блокировки, и регулироваться законодательство. С другой стороны, кое в чем я тогда серьезно ошибся.А именно: слишком уж я надеялся на то, что доблестные фильтраторы интернета будут заботиться об уменьшении... Read more

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In their experiment, photons drift sideways in perfectly defined, quantized steps—just like electrons do in powerful magnetic fields. Because these steps depend only on nature’s fundamental constants, they could become a new gold standard for ultra-precise measurements. The discovery also hints at tougher, more reliable quantum photonic technologies. Read more
