The IWPR link from above (with data from the US BLS) suggests that the 320K women in construction trades represent 4% of the total field, implying that there are about 8 million total construction trade jobs in the US. I'm not sure how many construction workers hold 4 year degrees, but it seems plausible this would explain a large portion of the gap.
Nested Knowledge is building the future of Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by consolidating every step of the review process (search, screening, extraction, synthesis) in an updatable, collaborative environment. NK primarily solves biomedical SLR, and our users come from a variety of backgrounds, including academia, insurers, med device / pharma, and regulatory. To date, 2 million studies have been reviewed in our software.
We want you to build models taking our Robot Screener and Smart Tagging products to the next level and design automations in new areas, like critical appraisal. Our team is small, and you would be our first AI specialist, setting standards and frameworks in place. We value independence, creativity, and a focus on end-user value and experience over technology.
Sorry about that! We had a high volume of applicants and needed to take the listing down for sanity. Please send along a resume to karl.holub at nested-knowledge.com
From a different direction, it was taught in one section of my university's data structures course. We were guinea pigs (https://forum.dlang.org/post/km96ho$2grm$1@digitalmars.com), but I recall the experience being fun and students largely enjoying D. Transitioning to C++/Java in later coursework and professionally was a breeze.
Does this dilute the headshot currency in the professional marketplace? If anyone can generate a flawless, idealized photo of themself, surely it reduces the signal headshots once provided: that you have the means to pay a photographer & are willing to invest the time / give a damn about appearing professional.
It might also damage the sense of identity they provide, if the generated images wander too far from reality of the source images.
Most companies strongly discourage you from submitting headshots already. At this point, it's considered unprofessional to submit a picture on an application.
Headshots are expected in CVs in the vast majority of the world. To my knowledge the big exceptions are US, UK, Canada, and Australia. But even there it's more like an "exception" since there's generally an unstated expectation that an employer can find more information, including a headshot, of you online.
These are going the way of the dodo. Just a couple years ago you were supposed to include a mini-cv of your parents in your cv, too, and people claimed not having a photo would automatically disqualify.
Good point, but headshots are essentially required in arenas other than job hunting. For a startup, it would be unprofessional to pitch investors without headshots of the founding team in the deck. Even in hiring, I'm willing to bet most hiring managers look candidates up on LinkedIn where they will see a headshot.
Pretty sure I got rejected from TopTal the other day because I didn't have a decent headshot.
Just uploaded the first photo I could find that fit the size requirements.
Got a rejection email and took a look at other profiles, only to realize they were all using 'professional' looking headshots (which I'm sure reflects better on Toptal)
I have 9 YoE in software and an in-demand skillset, so I think it was the headshot. It's possible they really just have an influx of people now with all the layoffs, but I was signing up because of a recruiting email I had received from them days earlier saying my skills were in demand and they were trying to grow their network
Where in Europe? Over here in France, it's not that common. I've never had a picture on any of my applications. I don't handle hiring, so I don't get to see many CVs, but the last time I saw some (mid-2022), they didn't have a picture, either.
Content tagging in online systems has existed since at least the 1970s, with the earliest example I can think of being MEDLINE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEDLINE
Right, MEDLINE's "tagging" system is MeSH, which is a large controlled vocabulary. MEDLINE does contain bibliographic data + journal keywords, but its real value add is MeSH, which is used for search, related publication identification, etc. in PubMed.
How about correlation between attractiveness and owning cats? Attractiveness and having a larger number of partners, which increases odds of exposure to cats / T. Gondii? These hypotheses seem plausible enough that I believe the authors are wrong in claiming causality.
Unless people are hooking up in barns I don't think frequenting partners that own cats would be correlated. House cats generally eat kibble, not infected mice.
Even then you'd have to infect yourself with the cat while getting together, as humans don't transfer to each other.
Personally I don't think there's any causation here at all with attractiveness directly.
It may be correlated with more outdoorsy people, those people are probably more attractive on average.
I don’t understand why you keep mentioning hooking up, that seems irrelevant since it’s been clarified this is not an STD. The parent comment was saying people who own cats could be more attractive on average, and people who own cats are more likely to get toxoplasmosis.
> Attractiveness and having a larger number of partners, which increases odds of exposure to cats
Hooking up was simply an example of why the person would be at the other person's environment.
Replace it with getting together if you're getting hung up on it. Whether or not the humans met up to have sex, talk, stand on their head, or whatever is irrelevant.
The point was house cats generally don't eat infected mice, if you're hanging out in barns or on the patio with outside cats, sure maybe.
I wasn't implying that either, indicated by "as humans don't transfer to each other."
I painted a scenario where your environment would occur, and dispute it by saying those cats in that environment generally aren't infected
Unless those attractive people are hanging out in barns or patios with outside cats.
Now that could be the case if you go at it from an outdoors perspective, outdoorsy people may be more attractive on average, and they may encounter infected cats more on average.
Most cat owners I know have inside only cats, as do I. I do know of 3 cats that roam my neighborhood, they could be from quite far away as outdoor cats have a large range.
I guess anecdotes from you or I isn't really telling if an indoor or outdoor majority of cat ownership is "unrealistic". Maybe we need a study :p
Do outside cat owners generally let their cats inside their home?
Doesn’t matter, they’re domestic cats and you already explained a circumstance where they could expose visitors and owners. Half the year here is a hospitable climate for outdoor recreation and cat survival. Half of it isn’t. I have seen these cats for multiple years so unless they have an outdoor cat house (something I have never seen in my life) then I suspect they come inside.
The ratio of cat owners with outdoor cats is irrelevant. They exist and they are common. That’s enough to sink your assertions.
Just want to note that kibble is not the best of foods for cats, especially not as the only food: it tends to cause urinary blockages which are a veterinary emergency.
