The unofficial, paper-based processes involved internet searches to assess whether the candidates were woke or not. Their actual skills, records, and performance were all secondary.
"The result has been a precipitous loss of experience and talent at the top ranks, the official said."

All this is far more labour intensive, but much better for students. We need to assess less, assess deeper, and assess authentically. We are only just beginning to grapple with AI in education.

The judge apparently relied on inconsistencies in Berki's changing account and his assessment of her motives.
But how could he assess her credibility and motives, without hearing her evidence tested at trial?
Particularly when she had no lawyer?

A fascinating thread about how we assess information as true or not.
"Love can lower our guard." When people "love" science, it can make them more susceptible to to scientific looking misinformation and deceptively phrased news.

We are now publishing a report summarizing the results of this risk assessment.

Another thing: Josh Turek really is the most organically popular Senate candidate in any state, as polls stated (ok, maybe Colom is higher, we’ll have to do NYT/Siena there). He’s going to outperform polls and win by close to Sherrod’s margin in a redder state🤯

Thats not what they do. Intelligence services collect and assess, and those who tried removing foreign leaders got burned. The public needs to know the reason the assessment remains private.

For a site so infested with Study the Humanities scolds there are a surprising number of people on here who show little ability to assess the likely provenance or plausible meaning of information put in front of them, or indeed read all the way to the end of a sentence.

GOLDMAN DESK: “.. investor conversations started to become more productive in trying to assess what is now priced in re: y/y capex (or GW) builds over the next few years (more of an exercise for 2028+ than for 2027), and, if we have already priced in too much of a slowdown in 2028+ at this point.”
