Screening Applicants Using Social Media

Creating a good resumé might no longer be enough when applying for jobs, as companies no longer just look at a person’s resumé — they also look at a person’s social media activity, a process known as cybervetting.

These were readily available information in the form of raw data and metadata, meaning what they had posted, when and how; analytics information that would require processing, for example, results of sentiment analysis or topic modeling of an applicants' posts; and information related to users' online social network that is often used for social network analysis, for example who follows whom on social media.

The question is, are people okay with this method? It turns out, the responses are mixed. Some are worried, while some are not.

well, jupiter probably has a hundred or so moons, the 4 they mentioned were just the ones discovered by gallileo. i imagine uranus probably has a larger number then 4 as well... and i'm also fairly sure it's more then 4 times larger then earth. Earth is also an "inner planet", making four, not three.

And pluto is not a black hole.

Jupiter has 4 moons now, but it also has plenty of room around it for new moons to be installed.
Neptune may or may not be blue (we aren't really sure), but it's definitely not always cold. In the summer it's just really chilly.
"Terra" was the first new Latin word to be added to their vocabulary since ancient times.
If you're from Corpus Christi, then your anus is, on average, 4 times larger than the anuses of other people, and your waistline is 8 inches larger.
