How A.I. Is About To Disrupt Corporate Recruiting

Corporate recruiting is broken, as you probably know if you have ever tried to obtain a job using company job boards. Inexplicably, even the best resumes and most qualified candidates fall into a black hole, never to be seen again, when they’re submitted through the traditional corporate pipeline. In fact, statistics show that 85% of applicants don’t hear back after submitting an application—and, 71% of employers claim that they can’t find a candidate with the right skill set.

New Dwarf Planet Beyond Pluto Hints At No Planet Nine

Out beyond Neptune, the icy collection of distant, frozen worlds known as the Kuiper belt orbits slowly around the Sun, with each body taking hundreds or even thousands of years to complete a revolution. Most of them are incredibly small and faint, and the more than 60 years that elapsed between the discovery of Pluto and the second Kuiper belt object — 1992 QB1 — illustrates exactly that. Now, a dedicated survey, the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS), is committed to cataloguing as many of the brightest, largest Kuiper belt objects present in our Solar System as possible. In its first big find, the collaboration just announced the discovery of a new, giant world 700 kilometers in diameter: 2015 RR245.

First Solar Looks Address Its Balance Of Systems Handicap With Series 5 Modules

Although First Solar’s Cd-Te solar panels have been recording significant efficiency gains over the last three years, they have lagged behind their silicon peers in terms of rated peak power. This means that a larger number of solar panels are required for a given system size, translating into higher balance of systems costs (such as mounting and labor). However, the company looks set to address this handicap with the introduction of its much anticipated Series 5 modules, which were unveiled in late June. Below we take a look at why the module may be very important to First Solar’s business.
