each justification for police interference isn't there: traffic (no), risk of crowd crush (historic route, small protest = no), separation of protestors from counterprotestors or from some other thing (going in opp direction of herzog, no counter-protestors = no)

I'm not sure what this is about, but some states of normalcy can be more flexible, dynamic and open than other normals.

Yeah the efficiency divided (with ALP characteristics) is hitting hard. It doesn’t have to hit contractors either, apart from some vague moral pressure to target them. But in practice it’s hitting across the board, basically a hiring freeze atm.

tragedy of the commons here, where mass ai spam lowers probability of given applicant winning, in turn shifting optimal approach from few high effort applications to many low effort (ai). reinforced by employers adopting low effort shortlisting (ai) for same reason. feedback loop. bad equilibrium

They can also apply for 100 in the time it would take people to apply for 10. Acquaintance spat out 300 applications in 2 weeks of unemployment and got offered a good job. I think it’s very unlikely it would have been so fast in the present market without sheer numbers.

Probably different for small specialised orgs, but increasing big ones are shortlisting by feeding into ai which looks for key words. Robots are more optimised for such robot evaluation.

as it gets hotter and hotter, the anti-shorts norm will become increasingly problematic. could really use some central government policy to address

Someone should ask them what happens if the USA seizes Greenland and NATO falls over. Still all the way with the USA? What kind of protection is this?

there's some ambiguity with bass because it would do fine taking up the deep low end but modern mixing practice tends to allocate that to the bass drum
