This is a rather big deal:
"Google now admits that it does data mine student emails for ad-targeting purposes outside of school, even when ad serving in school is turned off"
“They, instead, commit the fundamental attribution error, which is if something good happens, it’s because I’m a genius. If something bad happens, it’s because someone’s an idiot or I didn’t get the resources or the market moved.
. Your degree is not a proxy for your ability to do any job. The world only cares about — and pays off on — what you can do with what you know (and it doesn’t care how you learned it).
Very interesting article from NYTimes about what google looks for in its hiring.
I like the notion of "Intellectual Humility," and there are also some mindset info you might connect with too.
