    The Raleigh News & Observer ^ | August 23, 2019 | Zachery Eanes
    After weighing options in Pittsburgh, Detroit and several cities in Florida, Egnyte, a cloud storage company from Silicon Valley, opened a Raleigh office on Thursday with plans to eventually hire 120 people. The office, on the 18th floor of the PNC Plaza building, will serve as the lead sales office for the company’s East Coast operations, a geographic area that includes everything east of the Rocky Mountains. However, despite the sales focus, the office is hiring across all positions, including engineering, product and customer success teams. “I don’t think there will be any position that we will shy away from”...

  • Just When You Think McDonald’s Couldn’t Get More Mechanical…

    The idea behind fast food is speed and efficiency. When it comes to fast-food chains, McDonald’s is always on the cutting edge of getting people fed quickly—too quickly, some say. In the rush to gobble down food, much of the joy of eating is lost. Fast food is a soulless commodity that neglects the spiritual appreciation of flavor and taste. It can turn what should be a dining place into a biological fueling station. The bad news is that it has just gotten worse. Just when you think the fast-food giant has reached a peak of efficiency, it comes out...

  • Is this for-hire welding robot an omen for skilled labor?

    ZDNet ^ | September 4, 2019 | Greg Nichols
    There's a new, easy-to-program welding robot launching in November, and for many in the industry it comes not a moment too soon. That's because there are massive labor shortages in the American welding sector. The robot, called the BotX Welder, is a direct response to industry hiring problems, along with the persistent challenge faced by fabrication companies in producing precision parts in small batches. It's also a feat of engineering and a good example of how automation companies are now standing on the shoulders of a generation of developers who created the underlying technology that's now being deployed to address...

    Amazon made an unexpected announcement Monday that's truly good news all around. But the top beneficiary might just be President Donald J. Trump. The online-slash-everything giant revealed Monday that it currently has 30,000 unfilled jobs in the United States, everything including (as the company said in a statement) things like: entry-level roles at Amazon's fulfillment centers software development engineer positions computer vision scientists, and literally thousands of other positions That's a lot of open jobs. We'll address how Amazon wants to fill them (and how to apply should you or a loved one be interested), below. It's worth stepping back...

    A Missoula-based in-home health care company has been chosen to administer $500 million in spending by the state of Washington for overseeing providers of in-home personal care and respite. Consumer Direct Care Network was chosen last week by the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services for the contract. “We deal in Medicaid-based home care, and how this works is essentially we are one of two awarded,” explained Ben Bledsoe, the president and CEO of Consumer Direct Care Network. “It’s a big deal for us. It puts us in a new category.” The company employs about 325 people in...

    Sen. Ron Wyden, (D-OR) threatened CEO Mark Zuckerberg with incarceration if he doesn't do a better job of censoring the content posted on Facebook. "I know Mr. Zuckerberg thinks he's done enough with his algorithms that dampen access to content that deviates from acceptable parameters of political discussion," Wyden said. "He fears to go further due to the First Amendment's protection of freedom of speech. But I want to remind him that it is not within his purview to determine the boundaries of freedom of speech." "The First Amendment is what creates the biggest opportunity for hate speech," the Senator...

    VIDEO Of all the things that YouTube does that irritates YouTubers the most, one of the worst is the way they shove Legacy Media channels down our throats. It's like they are flooding the zone of the search results on anything that is in the news with Legacy Media at the expense of YouTubers. Sort of like using Legacy Media as a cloaking device to shield YouTubers from each other. The solution to this is to set up a Legacy Media filter in their search function. That way, people who really do want to see Legacy Media coverage can...
  • New method to fabricate graphene sheet fabricated from camphor

    Down To Earth ^ | August 19, 2019 | Susheela Srinivas
    Graphene, a recently discovered wonder material, is increasingly sought after for its superior electrical, thermal, optical and mechanical properties. It is used in the manufacture of optoelectronic devices such as detectors, sensors and solar cells. It is made up of one-atom-thick, honeycomb-like structure of carbon atoms. A significant challenge faced by scientists is the fabrication of large-area graphene sheets for devices. Finding a ‘green’ source for the carbon atoms is another hurdle. Indian researchers have now developed a new method to fabricate graphene sheets from camphor — a readily available ingredient often used in religious rituals. “Camphor is a plant...

So, it's only natural that the 34-year-old Pittsfield resident would be interested in working for Wayfair, which is currently hiring sales and service consultants for its new Pittsfield call center. "I applied because they have strong wages and seem like an employee-oriented company," Lapointe said Wednesday as he left the MassHire Berkshire Career Center on North Street following an interview with Wayfair representatives.

    The Joe Biden campaign is calling out President Trump's reelection campaign for diverting online search traffic that can potentially take campaign donations from the Democratic presidential candidate. “Trump is squatting on Biden and he’s not answering,” said Marty Weintraub, founder of Aimclear. Biden’s campaign is missing an opportunity. “I don’t see any pay-per-click ads or search marketing for joebiden.com,” Weintraub said. “There’s no pay per click history for Joe Biden.” Apparently the search battle is between donaldtrump.com and actblue.com, the preferred Democratic fundraising engine tool. Weintraub estimates actblue.com is spending between $3,000 and $5,000 monthly, focused mostly on candidates and...

    All the U.S. military services suffer a shortage of competent and experienced cyber talent. But with a tiny pool of eligible candidates willing to do work for the Department of Defense, hiring programs need to rely on more than just patriotism to be successful. The most recent attempt to shore up cyber capabilities comes from the Marine Corps’ announcement that it will create a Cyber Auxiliary. Here too, this program runs aground by asking for too much and offering too little. The Cyber Auxiliary seeks volunteers willing to provide the “training, education, advising, and mentorship” needed within the Marine Corps,...
