Would this be ideal for streaming from my navidrome server? Currently I stream FLAC on the local network and it converts it to opus on the fly when I'm on mobile.
An audio player that played proprietary files by exactly one record company would be obvious bullshit.
Somehow publishing has allowed itself to be squeezed into the e-reader equivalent. The result is a predictable lack of quality in both hardware and software - never mind consumer choice and delivery options.
What you all guys mean by Kindle? I have one for like a decade and I don’t get it. It’s not a strong brand of itself like iPhone (which is also smartphone).
All I can tell about it is that it’s a mediocre reader and that’s it. I don't upgrade it to any other reader because it just works, so I’m going to keep it till it won’t.
Beyond the headline the article offers some additional guidance:
> First, internal candidates who were rejected after interviewing with the hiring manager were half as likely to exit as those rejected earlier in the process.
Is that really guidance though? Does speaking with a hiring manager cause employees to stay? Or does an early rejection mean the person applying for transfer is materially different in some way?
I feel it's the latter -- we all hear stories of people who try to find a new job elsewhere at the company before their manager fires them.
The guidance might be: if you want to keep people, let them follow the internal transfer process to the interview and feedback stage.
Your counter claim is: nah, the data don’t necessarily support that. Maybe the people who got further in the process were different. High skill employees who knew they had another shot at an internal transfer, for example. Simply giving everyone an interview is not likely to fix the problem.
Take it as a signal of your likelihood to be promoted in the near future. If I'm interested in a promotion, and I get a strong signal, I'm going to stay. If I get a very weak signal, I'm going to go elsewhere.
An interview will generally offer a much stronger signal than a rejection by email
But if you change the process, you're getting a hiring manager interview is not longer a strong signal. You're basically hoping to implement a management behavior change without anyone noticing. Good luck on that.
Yeah, a few months ago I wanted to apply for a position in what the firm called its "science" function -- data science with more machine learning (and more PhDs). I even reached out to someone on that side and got some encouraging feedback. It matched up well with my experience and career goals.
But when I applied, I got nothing. Absolute radio silence, while the role just sat there unfilled for weeks. They couldn't at least have shot me an email that I'm not a good fit?
Getting turned down for another job in light of the company choosing what is in their purview a better candidate, is not any indication that someone isn't valued.
