So this recruiter during and interview asked me straight off the bat: can I film you so I can take notes using AI? So I was like no, then she was like ohhh but how do I take notes? I was like, with old school pen and paper or you type on your computer? (mind you this was like a <10 min call)

Then she was visibly distressed why I did not consented. Then I was like, I have no idea what will be done with the video. There is no reason to film my face. Then she said, but can I transcribe the meeting using AI? And I was fine with that to be honest. But why not ask that in the first place if it was all about the notes?

Am I the asshole?

He looks more Moroccan than anything

I think Morocco's foreign influence could become a lot bigger.

Yet, I have not seen anyone ship anything (useful).

Ik begrijp dat het idee is dat we internationaal talent aantrekken en dat is goed naar mijn mening. Echter zou ik als werkgever bij een keuze tussen een Nederlandse en buitenlandse kandidaat altijd voor de buitenlandse kiezen. Beide kandidaten kosten mij evenveel, maar rationeel gezien houdt de buitenlandse meer over. Het is dus waarschijnlijker dat deze langer bij mij zal blijven plakken dan de Nederlander. Als je naar alle BigTech bedrijven kijkt, zijn het merendeels expats en vanuit mijn ervaring kan ik stellen dat er voldoende Nederlandse kandidaten zijn die beter zijn dan de meesten die er werken. Veel Nederlanders gaan ook nog eens naar het buitenland als ze in deze sectoren willen werken. Is hier nu niet een perverse prikkel ingebouwd?

Recent graduate in a very AI dense role open to work as data scientist, ML/AI Engineer, Data Engineer or Software Engineer. Basically, I have too much AI/ML focus in my previous work to be taken seriously for SE roles. To be honest, I was even open to apply for internship roles. DS or MLE roles are flooded by PhDs in the Netherlands and Switzerland.

I have spoken to a lot of recruiters that loved my profile but mentioned each independently that the bar is just a lot higher. If you are competing with multiple Stanford/Cambridge/MIT/ETH PhDs with over 5 publications for a ML internship the market is just fucked.

So anyone who is wondering why they are not advancing with a good resume and relevant work experience.... Well this is one of the reasons.

I introduce: the Balthiccs.

Let's say you could turn your business into a publicly traded company, would you be willing in the first place to sell a share of your business? I am mainly curious as to why you would or would not. As a small business owner, I would be open to selling a share of the business (and thus a share of the profits/losses) because investments would allow me to scale up my business, and thus generate more money and it would allow me to provide better service to my customers as I am trying to improve my customer retention.

I can also imagine that people are not really waiting for all the extra accountability and hassle that comes with handling multiple stakeholders.

As opposed to using that money to invest directly into stocks.

I don't know what to do anymore as a recent grad in engineering specializing in AI/ML, data science, RL and OR. Originally, I never intended to go into software but here I found my passion. I got some relevant coursework and an internship in this area but the job market is rough. Never did any leetcode and now crunching it as we speak to at least manage to get an interview... I'm pretty new to this all. All vacancies ask for experienced candidates.

What should I do? Or is this a mere consequence of applying in the summer?

Looking in NL/BE/CH

Alle fast fashion ketens hebben best schijtmateriaal voor overhemden. Zeker als je het als een luchtig zomers overhemd wil dragen. Nu zie ik allemaal yuppen er goed uitzien met zo'n overhemd, maar ik kan ze nergens in de winkel vinden.

Ik zoek naar de tip van flip. Wie wil mij helpen? Mijn budget is <100 EUR. Het liefst navy blauw of wit. Ik gok dat het of linnen of een linnen blend is. Het liefst luchtig dus maar niet doorschijnend. Oh en dus casual sjiek. Dank.

For those who do not speak Dutch:

The cookie is finished: I am disappointed in shitty material dress shirts from fast fashion chains. Fortunately peanut butter, I see yups in Amsterdam with beautiful quality, light and summery dress shirts. However, I cannot find them anywhere. My budget is <100 EUR. Preferably navy blue or white, I think they use some sort of linnen blend. It's casual chique, light and breathable but not translucent. Thank.

Update NL: Dank yuppen! Ik heb mijn levenslust weer hervonden. De duidelijke winnaar voor mij is Charles Tyrwhitt.

Update EN: Thank yups! I have again found my life's appetite. The kleer winner for me is Charles Tyrwhitt.

We have to discuss and address the reasons people want to "escape" Morocco. This is not sustainable for Morocco. 49k is about 0.15% of our entire population... within 24 hours. That's more than 1 in 1000 Moroccans and considering 95% is male more than 1 in 500 men... If it wasn't for Spain and Morocco closing the border right now it would have been more.

I see everyone talking about the consequences for Spain but this requires a lot of self-reflection too. Not only from Moroccans but especially the government. What can we do to make people want to stay?

I understand that people want a better financial situation etc. but what can Morocco do?

It will be rich real estate people. I'm sure restaurants, shops and such will do well for about a month.

That's it.

Morocco is already the fastest growing tourist destination in the world. Can it go faster? Yeah sure. However, usually this just means that the prices of the tickets and accommodations go up rather than that the number of tourists keeps growing. Apart from that, the number of tourists is very concentrated in certain spots, not everyone will benefit.

Russia hosted in 2018: no lasting gains. nobody in the country noticed anything to begin with.

Similarly for Brazil and South Africa. Ok yes these countries are poor and big so you cannot compare it to Morocco right... OK let's say you are rich and small, like... Qatar: 0 benefits.

MREs are buying up properties to turn them into AirBnBs. MREs are also renting apartments to rent them out as AirBnBs.
