[FRIAM] viral dose ∝ symptom severity

Wed Aug 19 17:32:07 EDT 2020

Dave,I would hire you immediately. Unfortunately I don't have a high ranking position in my company and have no say when it comes to the question who is hired or not. I have worked the last 12 years for https://www.tdreply.de . One of my colleagues, Daniel S., is American, he is from the east coast and works as a data engineer here in Berlin in my team. For people who write code, data engineers and data scientists seem to have the best opportunities at the moment. For experienced experts who want to become a manger a "consultant" is always an option. The higher you come in the corporate hierarchy, the more you work with Excel and Email and the more you spend your time in meetings. The company I work for belongs to the Italian Reply group, and they have an American subcompany Valorem. Valorem has job offers for example in Kansas City, and you can even say you know someone from the Reply group (me). I think they do a lot of Microsoft stuff. https://www.valoremreply.com/careers/If you are in favor of Microsoft, they have open jobs around the world, too, including Europehttps://careers.microsoft.com/professionals/us/en/locations#EuropeApple and Amazon are looking around the world too. The IT world has changed. As a developer one is in a direct competition now with millions of competitors around the world who all have access to GitHub, Google and StackOverflow. -J.

I know that several of you have expressed a willingness to explore alternatives. I really, really, appreciate it.Unfortunately for me, I seem to be unemployable in my former profession. I am not technical enough to get past HR, I do have a reputation as a bit of extreme contrarian when it comes to Software Engineering, Scrum (really hate it), Lean, and all but the XP form of Agile. Plus, I am old. (I had a job offer at Spotify, until the team I was to work with — 3 women and one man, all in early to mid-twenties — met me in a video interview. You could see the look on their faces and know it was all over in less than ten seconds.)I attached the resume to illustrate the problem. I would have been perfect at the job Frank recommended and have made it to a video interview, but will be surprised, from correspondence with them, if it goes further.I keep trying, and your well wishes are truly appreciated.davewOn Wed, Aug 19, 2020, at 11:31 AM, thompnickson2 at gmail.com wrote:> ALL OF IT!!!!> > Nicholas Thompson> Emeritus Professor of Ethology and Psychology> Clark University> ThompNickSon2 at gmail.com> https://wordpress.clarku.edu/nthompson/>  > > > -----Original Message-----> From: Friam <friam-bounces at redfish.com> On Behalf Of Steve Smith> Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2020 10:09 AM> To: friam at redfish.com> Subject: Re: [FRIAM] viral dose ∝ symptom severity> > > > Aw crap, people.  Can't we get Dave out of there!!!!!????> > I think he LIKES it there?

Weekdays, with mostly locals, 80% wear masks. Weekends and holidays 50%+ tourists, mask rate drops to maybe 60%. Interestingly, 80-90 percent of those not wearing masks are the tourists - a large majority of whom are from California and Nevada.Most locals not wearing masks are ranchers and the coal miners - people working outside all day.> >> > This week was bow hunting season, and close to zero percent of hunters came in wearing masks.
