Unfortunately, it's how employers work. I've even argued with employers (not mine, but people complaining about how hard it is to employ people) who tried to argue that employees should not be allowed to learn on the job. That they must come out of university with all the skills.
What the fuck are you on about? The comment I replied to insinuated that Jack Ma should fix problems instead of criticizing, and I implied his comment was ridiculous. You disagreed with me. So how was that your point, you retard?
It sounds like more of a case of the authorities not wanting to lose face, so the claim success even in the case of failure.
Catching criminals is really beside the point. Does it lower crime? If they news came out, and "criminals" were still turning up to the concerts, then maybe it goes to show that some people don't think of themselves as criminals, and the authorities have redefined criminals to be anyone caught by their system.
The downsides you discussed is precisely the point. It may be good at excluding people who can't do the job, but it also excludes people who can. And you haven't followed up with enough of your rejects to know that all the people excluded were rightly rejected.
How can they not "do" the work they're showing you? I was talking about a portfolio of work. Their githubbitbucketsourceforge whatever. How can you not talk to them about that very work they created and not know they can't do the work they're literally showing you?
The funny thing about rote, even for maths, is that kids with the propensity to be creative will think of creative ways to make the rote learning interesting. They'll find their own patterns and tricks. You can't test for that, and sometimes will act as a punishment for getting something wrong.
It's easy to say critical thinking should be taught. But how? Just like everything else, it ends up being taught to some test. Of course, those kids who do think critically will see through the absolutely non-critically thought-out education system.
Kids learn by example, and I fear the uncritical, uncreative, adults around them are teaching them to be the same by example.
They probably couldn't, actually. Billionaires have connections and build business relationships, and do so from a young age. Time spent studying to get the best grades means time not spent doing actual things that create business opportunities.
Have you ever been through the education system? It's all about tests and exams. People love numbers, even if they don't mean anything. Nerds aren't immune from this kind of thinking, even though they think they're too smart to fall for the trap.
Problem solving has never been taught. You can look across all the generations and see how well people problem solve. Most people's problem solving ability is just trying the same tactic over and over again until it just happens to succeed in one instance. Just as important is to know if a problem has actually been solved, and not just swept under the carpet.
The point is those interviews are not good indicators of potential. All those interviews seem to do is inflate the Googler's sense of importance at being a gatekeeper, when all they do has no effect on the actual quality of the people who pass the gate.

I suppose keyboard warriors like you are hard men. Oh wait, cunts like you just keep complaining about SJWs and acting worse than them.
"Spending it on social services" would include paying off the debt incurred by social services.
The Constitution has been the standard bearer of governance around the world.
It's funny how you're so brainwashed by your own propaganda.
Almost no other country cares about the US constitution and certainly do not try to emulate or incorporate any part of it at all.
Way to miss the fucking point. Fucking idiot ultra-nationalists.
Your attempt at a koan is nonsense. Worse than nonsense.

Afghanistan was a safe, relatively progressive place for decades.
The reason the Taliban was able to take control is by winning the hearts and minds of Afghans who did not wish to be under foreign rule.
Then that should tell the first part was an illusion in the first place.
America loves free trade... for everyone else.
People are allowed to criticize any government, dickhead.
He's not in the government, idiot.
How is this even a counter argument? This is just you ranting because you hate the facts.
And you believe them?

Someone's Ajitating for a hurt real bad. Where are the Trump defenders?
Just add water!

You get them to explain their work.

I think it's easy to fix - stop making interviews an exam.
If a candidate has a portfolio of work, then go through their work. This is about work and career, so judge candidates based on realistic conditions.
They probably couldn't, actually. Billionaires have connections and build business relationships, and do so from a young age. Time spent studying to get the best grades means time not spent doing actual things that create business opportunities.

Then you should also be in favour of ending fossil fuel subsidies, including implicit subsidies for pollutants.
People should drop the delusion that they're not easily controllable. The fact that it worked shows most people will just follow orders.
