I almost took a job at NASA Ames with a veterans org that would have worked on a lot of the lander stuff. My career has done well, but I kinda regret not pursuing that further.Good luck going forward, don't have any work just wanted to say something when I saw a similar resume.
But I think the bigger thing is... Your supposed AI not understanding answers that are literally identical to the ones it considers correct. Pretty weak.
EDIT: After asking this instead of responding back to me they just removed it. But it obviously shows how lacking their system is.
So I don't want you to think my question was being sarcastic... I'm genuinely curious if you think this sort of thing would be a useful or interesting thing to blog about or only in the cases of a resume building thing?
Baseball has been getting crazier and crazier in the last few years with umpires trying harder and harder to make the show about them. It's even more mind boggling to me that they're doing this when they're actively trying out tech to displace them. But their union is way too strong and it's going to be the downfall of them. The union needs to stop protecting 100% of the members and let the bad ones fall to the way side otherwise they're going to destroy the rest of them.
Unions are extremely important and deserve a place in our society. But unions that do not police their own... just like our own police need to be done away with.
I do not use my work computer for much outside of work... However, when traveling for work or other times I will 100% do personal things on my computer. Even though I'm devops/sysadmin and had admin rights to disable applications from accessing my macbooks webcam I knew they could override it at anytime they wanted. So I also purchased covers for the webcam & never trusted that I wasn't being spied on via microphone. But any company that does that stuff is just terrible and it's not the way to get the best out of your employees. I am much more likely to put in a lot of extra time outside of work if I can mix in my personal browsing with my work.
People getting loose at parties used to mean harassment and it was deemed ok because "men are being men" but it was never ok. Just treat people as they deserve whether you're drinking or not and there's no issue to be had.
We do like a few of the changes they're making such as selling more stuff online so the average person can buy on release day rather than having to pay double to scalpers. But overall, fanatics is not viewed positively by anyone I know. Especially those who have been unfortunate enough to buy their sports merch as it's not done well.
I hope his family is doing well.
The thing is with our tech is we have contracts for clinical studies that run years out. So they can't just kill our products and some of our stuff runs on REALLY old technology and definitely not something their IT people know how to handle. So i'm actually curious to see how this goes for them and I wonder if they won't try to bring me back as my group has always been a slightly special/weird group when it comes to what is needed for support.
So the company is trying to solicit the very people they're replacing to help them find their own replacements.
However, I just found out I'm getting laid off in october as they're moving services overseas to cut costs. I work for the largest Clinical research org in the world & we were bought by them last year. I'm a bit surprised & the group that bought us was not known for tech. I think they're going to ruin a lot of their tech offerings because I've worked a lot with their Systems/Devops people over the last couple years and they are extremely unimpressive.
As for experience... I technically started at age 17 in the military doing tactical communications via satellite, networking, servers, radios etc. But been working in private sector for about 12-13 years after going to school for about 2 years upon getting out.
