I’m much younger and less experienced, so what I’m going to say could be irrelevant, but your resume seems too busy.

I’d cut it to 1 page, remove all the symbols, flags and logos. I’d also remove most of the extra stuff (personal interests, volunteering, objective, references).

Essentially, almost anything that doesn’t show that I’m a very talented engineer should go. Also, I’d consider using latex if not already and go for a more sobre style that focuses on ease of reading. The way your education part is indented is great, the work experience part seems to have something wrong with it.

Makes sense for Elon to be on the lookout. With a short position that size, hard to tell how low some could stoop.

The shortage, if there is one, won't last long once the autopilot-enabled truck convoys get going.

All the high impact sports (ie football, rugby, boxing, wrestling) feel like a relic of times past. I hope eventually VR reaches a point where the players get to perform on a virtual arena while their physical bodies are inside a simulation room.

Sensor suits like those used to enable motion capture [0] and some multidirectional treadmill [1] would enable the same activities in a much safer environment.

They also died younger and led miserable lives by today's standards.

The article claims the american worker gets 8 days of vacation annually. 52*2 > 8 last time I checked.

I do believe though that with more automation, workers should be getting more vacation time.

This is really interesting. Do you have any recommended readings/videos to get a better understanding of monetary policy and its effects?

One way to approach this could be to allow community colleges to give 3y or 4y degrees for certain majors. It could significantly reduce tuition costs.

The issue with movies is that they are constrained to a 2 hour window. There is only so much character development, nuancing and world building you can do in such a short time frame.

TV shows have hours upon hours to build up their story.

Another thing that bugs me is that directors keep reusing the same big shot actors, many of whom are not worth their price tag in my opinion. Acting isn't rocket science. With enough practice, any graduate from an acting school could do well. Why not try new blood more often? It would drive production costs down and add variety to casts. Straying away from the usual body models wouldn't hurt either. After seeing Tom Cruise lookalike #4, I would gladly welcome anything but a #5.

It's not that bad I believe. With the way PR companies and political parties are using astroturfing/bots to influence public opinion, asking for identification is one way of making sure the person participating in an online discussion is real. It also safeguards against online foreign influence.

Additionally, I think anonymity tends to bring the worst in us. Perhaps it is because we feel less pressured by social norms of behavior since we are not held personally responsible for our speech as much as it would've been the case irl. While no one is truly anonymous to the state, asking people to identify themselves makes them conscious about it and I believe less likely to start using a given service under the assumption of anonymity.
