Two CEOs on a podcast casually proposed a shareable database of worker performance that would follow them between companies, forever, and encouraged listeners to create one. HR professionals say it's a terrible idea. "I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record."
Well, two CEOs. That are obviously high on their own supply.
Hopefully, this idea goes on their permanent record.

When they pay us like they are paid, I'll think about it. (And still say 'No.')

They can start by going first.

It's virtually impossible to get any kind of negative feedback about a prospective hire. Most companies only verify that someone worked there, for how long, and maybe their job title and salary. A public job performance file would make it so that no one could even be damned with faint praise unless lawsuits were severely curtailed.

I imagine it'll be about as accurate as a credit report. So not at all accurate. The problem with these reporting systems is there's no scrutiny or oversight. Doing that properly costs too much. So instead they place that burden on the target of the system - you. You see it in credit reports, content management systems (e.g. YouTube, Twitch), etc.
That's gonna be a hard no from me. And if these two CEOs had any live brain cells bumping into each other up top they'd realize that their performance profiles would probably be trolled down to 0 for even creating such a system. Well, actually, they would probably get special treatment. Because rules for thee and not for me is the modus operandi.
So no.

A bigger problem is that even if the reports were true, human nature is not steady. People change, and grow up, and become serious about improving the world or their life at some point. If the system said you were not a good worker, how the heck would you ever grow up, because you could never get a job again. It would be the worst type of blacklist.

But this is consistent with current attitudes in the USA. There was a case a couple of years ago where an executive at an airplane manufacturer was forced to step down because over thirty years earlier he'd said that he didn't think women should serve in combat.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Ah, the arrogance of totally not understanding what it's like to work for someone who's a total dick. And for that, their biased report should haunt them forever?
I thought this stuff was reserved for bad dystopian movies.

But it's not significant enough to prevent the space telescope from helping us observe the universe. Didn't see it coming?

Telescope vs micrometeroid... am I the only one seeing the irony of that?

Was I suppose to read that?
Maybe I should have expressed my irony a bit better...
I have never had to answer such kind of questions and I think the moment I get my first one, I'll just stand up and leave the room.

 That is the best reaction. Maybe if more people did that, the nonsense would go away.

NASA announced that it is putting together an independent team of researchers this fall to study sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, the updated term now used to refer to UFOs. "Are you familiar with the so-called X-Files?"

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Given NASA's predilection for overspending, does UFO stand for "Unidentified Funding Opportunity"?

A joint research effort has led to the discovery of Symbiote, a new form of Linux malware that is "almost impossible" to detect. It causes your computer to extend tentacles, eat people, and go after Spider-man
And all the Windows folk smirk. For once. (and until someone replicates it for Windows)
