Difficult co-workers are a fact of life for many people. But Luis Von Ahn, the boss of Duolingo, believes he may have found a way to avoid hiring nasty workers. Mr Von Ahn told a podcast called The Burnouts that Duolingo paid drivers taking candidates to interviews to give feedback about the way they were treated by them. The logic is that if a person is mean to their driver, then they're probably going to be mean to the people they work with. Mr Von Ahn told the podcast that Duolingo had followed through on this.
Joten he antaa sinulle pieniÀ tietoja siitÀ, mitÀ tapahtuu. Joten luulet, ettÀ se on aika hyvÀ idea? KyllÀ, miksi ei? Esimerkiksi jos he pahoittavat sinua, jotta voit antaa julkaista. KyllÀ, ehkÀ vielÀ paremmin. Luulen, ettÀ nÀet parhaan ja huonomman ihmisen kanssa, kun kÀsittelee yleisöÀ. Esimerkiksi kappaleiden kanssa. NÀet parhaan ja huonomman. Ja jotkut ihmiset voivat olla...
Because, now that it's public knowledge, applicants are savvy to the consequences of being mean to their driver.

Hei, olen Ankur Desai ja ensimmÀisenÀ pÀivÀnÀ pÀivÀn 13. pÀivÀnÀ nÀmÀ ovat meidÀn mainitsemat. Peita Meijar viemme maanvaihtoehtoisen vahvistuksen Hungarissa. Prime ministeri Viktor Orban on valmistunut 16 vuotta vahvistuksessa. Iran reagee vahvasti presidentin Trumpin annaus, ettÀ Yhdysvallat vahvistaa kaiken maanvaihtoehtoisen vahvistuksen Hormuun rannalla.
ja Perus sanoo, ettÀ se jatketaan pohjoissa, kun kymmeniÀ tuhansia ihmisiÀ ei voinut valita maailman presidentiaalisen valinnan. Myös tÀssÀ podcastissa. Ajattelin, ettÀ se oli niin vaikea voittaa viime vuonna, koska yritin voittaa Masterin ja Grand Slamin, ja tÀmÀn vuoden jÀlkeen tunnin, ettÀ se on todella vaikea voittaa Masterin. Rory McElroy tekee golfin historiasta Mastersin, joka on ainoastaan neljÀs pelaaja, joka voittaa golfin suurimman torunman kaksi kertaa.
EU's longest serving leader has conceded power and there is now a new prime minister in charge of Hungary. Peter Modja has been greeted like a rock star in the Hungarian capital after the party of the opposition leader won a landslide election victory. It heralds sweeping change in Hungary after 16 years under Viktor Orban with ramifications across Europe.
The outgoing PM is a friend of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and had often been a thorn in the side of Brussels, repeatedly blocking funding for Ukraine, which he accused of trying to force his country into war with Russia. But now Mr. Madja, a former Orban ally who became his fiercest critic, has started a new era with his TISA party. He told a huge crowd in Budapest that the country had been liberated from the Orban regime.
The congratulations from other EU leaders have been effusive. Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called it a historic moment for European democracy. Our correspondent Nick Thorpe sent this report from Budapest.
Nick Thorpe with that report from Budapest. So how will the election result affect Hungary's relations with the Russian president Vladimir Putin, a close ally of Viktor Orban? Here's our Russia editor Steve Rosenberg.
Seuraavaksi Yhdysvaltojen puolustus. Iran on reagoinut presidentin Trumpin huomioon, ettÀ Yhdysvaltojen puolustus vaikuttaa kaikkiin maritaimipuolueisiin ja iranian puutteisiin. Iranin parlamentaarinen puheenjohtaja Mohammad Bagir-Ghalibaf on sanonut, ettÀ Iran ei anna mitÀÀn vaikeutta.
This comes after US and Iranian officials met in Pakistan for high-level talks at the weekend, but were unable to reach any agreement. The US military says the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will begin on Monday afternoon. Our chief international correspondent Lise Doucette filed this report from Islamabad.
At least you said with that report from Islamabad. Iran has said that any attempt by a military vessel to approach the Strait of Hormuz would be considered a violation of the two-week ceasefire and dealt with severely. But what does that actually mean? That's a question for our correspondent Kashaya Junaidi from BBC Persian.
This is the Global News Podcast. Peru's election authority says it will be reopening some polls after tens of thousands of people were unable to vote in Sunday's presidential election. Widespread distrust in the country's institutions has put issues like corruption, political instability and rising crime front and center in the campaign. I asked BBC Monitoring's Luis Fajardo why so many Peruvians were unable to cast their ballots.
Peruissa on ollut noin presidenttiÀ viimeisenÀ vuonna. Miksi on ollut niin paljon muuttajia? Aiemmin puhuttiin Hungariasta. Joku oli siellÀ 16 vuotta. Miksi se on ollut niin erilaista Peruissa?
Mothers in sub-Saharan Africa are around 150 times more likely to die from maternal sepsis than those in Europe or North America. That's according to the charity WaterAid. Many of the causes for these deaths are linked to a lack of proper sanitation in healthcare facilities. Zambia has one of the highest number of births without basic sanitation in the world, which affects both mothers and newborns, as the BBC's Anita Nkonge has been finding out.
20-luvun nobelpriisin voittaminen suomalainen kirjailija ja filosofi Albert Camus oli tunnettu kirjoihin, joita kutsuttiin eksistensialistiksi. He katsottivat, mitÀ tarkoituksia voisi olla ihmisen elÀmÀssÀ maailmassa, jossa ei ole edellisiÀ religioita tai poliittisia perusteita. HÀnen 1942-luvun L'Etranger, joka on usein kutsuttu ulkopuolelta tai ulkopuolelta, ei ollut yksityiskohtainen.
The book centers on an emotionally detached man named Meursault, a French settler in Algeria, who kills a man who Camus simply calls the Arab. Meursault then goes on trial for the murder, with the book following this legal process and dissecting Meursault's thoughts throughout his detention. Julien Warreker asked the film's director, François Orzon, why he felt the need to make a new film version of the book.
French film director Francois Ozon. Let's finish off from the beautiful greens of the Augusta National Golf Course, where Rory McElroy won the prestigious Masters tournament for a second consecutive year in Georgia, in the United States. He waited for many years to get his hands on the famous green jacket. And a year later, the Northern Irishman has gone back to back to become only the fourth player to successfully defend the Masters title. Here he is speaking at the Champions Press Conference.
Last year he joined the greats by completing the career grand slam and this time he's made even more history as you mentioned as well. Joining Nick Faldo, the great Tiger Woods and the legendary Jack Nicklaus as well to successfully defend back to back. Awesome achievement. Yes it is and really nice moment just a few moments ago as you talked to me. McElroy was walking out of the butler cabin, the
