The Champions League quarter-finals have drawn to a close with both remaining English clubs being knocked out. Manchester City’s dreams of the ‘Double Treble’ were shattered after a dramatic penalty shoot-out loss to Real Madrid. Arsenal’s hopes were snuffed out as Joshua Kimmich’s header was enough to take Bayern Munich into the semi-finals. Elsewhere in the final round of quarter-final fixtures Kylian Mbappé struck twice as Paris St-Germain capitalised on the dismissal of Barcelona’s Ronald Araujo to qualify for the semis, while Borussia Dortmund complete the final four after victory over Atletico Madrid.

Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in an all-German affair in 2013, while in 2011 Manchester United lost 3-1 to a Lionel Messi-inspired Barcelona.

Secure Your Online Accounts: Top Password Management Apps for 2024

In today’s digital age, safeguarding your online accounts is crucial. One of the best ways to achieve this is by using password management apps designed for PC, Mac, Android, iPhone, and web browsers. These apps ensure your passwords are strong, unique, and securely stored.

Many people still rely on weak passwords like “123456” and “password,” which have topped the list of most commonly used passwords for years. This approach leaves your accounts vulnerable. Creating and remembering complex passwords for every account is a daunting task, and few have the memory prowess to handle this without assistance.

Password managers offer a practical solution by storing all your passwords in an encrypted vault. They not only keep your credentials safe but also generate strong passwords for you. This added layer of security significantly reduces the risk of password-based attacks.

Consider extending this security measure to your family members, especially those less familiar with technology. Setting up a password manager for them enhances their online security and contributes to a safer internet for everyone.

Beyond password management, explore additional security measures such as VPN services for encrypted browsing and data backup solutions to protect your information against unforeseen events.

Our updated recommendations for March 2024 include enhanced features like support for passkeys and improved autofill capabilities in apps like 1Password.

US Health Tech Firm Sees Over 3,000 Applications for Single Data Science Role Amid AI-Driven Job Market Surge

In a striking development highlighting the competitive landscape of tech employment, a recruiter at a prominent US health tech company revealed that over 3,000 individuals have applied for a single data science position this year. This surge in applications has brought about rigorous evaluation processes, with top candidates undergoing challenging task assessments. Despite the high volume of applicants, only a few manage to pass these stringent tests.

The recruiter expressed suspicions that some successful candidates might have leveraged artificial intelligence to tackle the assessment tasks. These concerns stem from unusual wording in some submissions, direct admissions of AI use, and instances where candidates struggled to explain their solutions during interviews.

The influx of applications for tech roles can be attributed to widespread layoffs since late 2022 and the proliferation of generative AI, which enables mass job applications across various positions. This phenomenon has overwhelmed recruiters and hiring managers, complicating the recruitment process. While AI tools such as LinkedIn’s Easy Apply feature and third-party resume-writing services have streamlined the application process, they have also introduced new challenges and uncertainties.

Recruiters have voiced concerns over the opacity of AI decision-making processes and the potential biases embedded in these systems. They stress the importance of understanding the rationale behind AI-generated decisions and advocate for more nuanced evaluations of candidates’ qualifications. The tech industry must navigate these complexities to ensure fair and effective hiring practices in an AI-influenced job market.
