All the people in this thread that are complaining already have cell phones, and the government can (and does) already access that data.
They're reflexively mad over nothing. It is a good idea.

I'm in the job market lately - no one is looking for "creativity", at least no one knows how to measure or assess it.
Mostly, you have to do book problems that you probably looked at 10 years ago in college.

I've been on both sides of it. The entire point of the employer facing side of linkedin is to search highly qualified people - it's not that hard to weed out the shit-tier candidates, it's the entire point of the service.
Comment LinkedIn, AI, etc. (Score 1) 100
All these developments in tech hiring serve to drive down the price of labor for skilled workers. LinkedIn makes it easy to get 100s if not 1000s of applications for any job. It makes talent easily searchable. It reduces friction in the market. It makes prices for labor go down.
The expressed purpose of AI language models is to reduce the number of skilled head count.
And frankly, all the "learn to code" initiatives also are for this purpose. Of course education is great, but let's not pretend the reason tech CEOs want a larger talent people is anything but reducing the price.
Of course wages are going down, the entire class of worker is under attack, and has been for years. They were too selfish to recognize that unionizing was a smart idea (classic fuck-you-i-got-mine mentality) and now the wages and jobs are on the brink of collapse.
It was a good run, you should be looking to reskill.

Submission + - New York Budget Deal Includes 'Bell-To-Bell' School Cellphone Ban (cbsnews.com)
An anonymous reader writes: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says a $254 billion state budget deal has been reached, including a "bell-to-bell" school cellphone ban. [...] The distraction-free policy would take effect next school year, making New York the largest state in the country with a "bell-to-bell" cellphone ban. Hochul says the plan will help protect children from addictive technology and improve their mental health. The New York State United Teachers union also came out in support of the ban, saying "we are at a crisis point."
The governor previously outlined the proposal back in January, saying it would ban the use of smartphones and other internet-enabled devices on school grounds during the school day. That includes classroom time, lunch and study hall periods. "A bell-to-bell ban, morning until the day is over, is not going to hurt your kids. It's going to help them emerge with stronger mental health and resiliency," she told CBS News New York at the time.
Hochul said the ban would include smartphones and other personal "smart" devices, like smartwatches. Exemptions could be made if a student requires a device to manage a medical condition or for translation purposes. Cellphones that don't have internet capability and devices that are provided by the school for lesson plans would still be allowed. The proposal would let individual schools come up with their own ways to implement the ban and store the devices, and schools would be able to decide whether to have students leave them in things like pouches, lockers or cubbies. It would also require schools to make sure parents have a way to contact their children during the day, if needed.
