Comment on Job hunting is a matter of Big Data, not how you perform at an interview

Probably this science is in it's infancy, and as data grows and algorithms are refined, it will go places we can scarcely imagine at the moment.

I can hardly wait for the day when a baby is born and "garbageman" or "engineer" is stamped on it's head and it becomes futile to argue with empirical truth about "best fit".

Actually, kidding aside I think companies and employees may both benefit from this research if it is applied properly. But if a better form of these tools were available to our current system it would likely produce some very bad effects. I think maybe we have some important decisions about humans and their role in society coming up soon. Because technology never seems to go back in the bottle.
