google controls the portals through which many people search. Defaults will always be google when people are using android and or chrome. Yahoo, infoseek or altavista never had anywhere near a grip on people like google does today. It takes effort to change now, while in the olden days you just had to change your 1 start page on the browser, things are a lot more embedded and thus customers locked in. Thinking it will switch over to a better alternative like it did back then, purely because it is a lot better, is a bit naive I think, unfortunately.
yeah the resume is the silly part, it's a remnant from the past. Somehow for flipping burgers they are by doing this checking wether you can neatly summarize you're academic history and your skillset, it's completely pointless. And for high skilled or specific jobs, you're better off asking some in the workfield questions anyhow, instead of the "why don't you decide what you want to tell us"-resume.
There is a positive to there being a treshold to applying for a job. It lowers the amount of applicants that will 100% not fit the job description, while making it more possible for HR/management to actually sift through every applicant, increasing the chances you'll get hired if you do put in the effort and if you do meet the requirements. Look at it as an overcomplicated catpcha. They're not just trying to test if you're a human, they're trying to test if you are human & actually are really interested in this job & actually do think you meet the requirements (or equivalent, causing you to put in the effort). It doesn't make much sense for very low skilled low wage jobs, but it does for higher and/or very specifically skilled jobs.
No reading every resume is an incredibly stupid way to spend time, even for HR workers (they are somewhat educated aka not cheap).
It would make sense for every joblisting to use the same format and you just filling it all out once in said format and connecting to any company / job listing you'ld want to apply to. That's basically what linkedin does to some extent. That, but without the social network bullshit, would be pretty cool.
For Georgia it's a proximity issue. If they'd join NATO, if they'd join EU, it's still geographically right next to Russia while EU is far away. Already Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians don't really feel like they're covered enough by nato, how would Georgians feel?
Also, I'm guessing blackmailing/corruption of some sort. Russia's got dirt on party top stuff like that.
Think it's mainly about keeping it liveable now. Searise is a lost case anyhow for a place like Venice, 2100 or 2200 what's the difference, It'll be lost beneath the waves or hidden behind such a tall permanent seawall that the bay basically dies (and starts smelling, sanding etc). No-one is discussing really long term, at all concerning cc sealevels. Most coastal areas are just an illusion to keep dry long term (100+ years from now), there's no turning back damages done. Planning with optimistic 2100 sealevels is really short term compared to the scale of the issue.
you're better off teaching your kids how some things work, what might be safe to do online and what might be less safe, what possible implications for right holders and creators there might be if you pirate (and that those right holders and creators are often not the same people). Teach them to think for themselves if it's worse to pirate a 35 yo movie you can't find on dvd anymore, or a brand new movie that's still showing in the local cinema. All of this is better than just telling kids "piracy is bad mmmkay!" and then letting them roam free so they start pointing and clicking utter bullshit and using a virus infested os.
Tldr: educate children, talking about piracy is part of it.
