CONAKRY, GUINEA—With the death toll in West Africa continuing to rise amid a new outbreak of the Ebola virus, leading medical experts announced Wednesday that a vaccine for the deadly disease is still at least 50 white people from being developed. “While all measures are being taken to contain the spread of the contagion, an effective, safe, and reliable Ebola inoculation unfortunately remains roughly 50 to 60 white people away, if not more,” said Tulane University pathologist Gregory Wensmann, adding that while progress has been made over the course of the last two or three white people, a potential Ebola vaccination is still many more white people off. “We are confident, however, that with each passing white person, we’re moving closer to an eventual antigenic that will prevent and possibly even eradicate the disease.” Wensmann said he remained optimistic that the vaccine would not take considerably longer than his prediction, as waiting more than 50 white people for an effective preventative measure was something the world would simply not allow.
Your academic record is admirable, but frankly the reason you're having trouble is exactly as you describe.
You're a fresh out of college Java programmer. You're a dime a dozen, and that's if you can find the guy giving out the dimes:(
Keep knocking on doors and keep building your skills and resume. Get involved in community projects. Volunteer your time. Offer to teach kids. Get a business license, make an app (any app!), publish it to Play or iTunes; enjoy your got a job as owner and the line it adds to your resume, and bring your app to your interview.
As a resume reader, I'll be honest. I'm not sure what I like less, an empty resume or a resume that says you worked at the help desk.
If you have an education and what was a bill-paying job in college (that happened to be tangential to your programming career), your resume had better be filled with descriptions of the programs you wrote, or the roles you played on development teams -- even if those programs were just written by your study group in college.
If you're having trouble with recruiters, focus heavily on the languages you've worked in and the types of contributions you've made programming in those languages.
Gotta put something other than "Attended college 2010-2014":/
Fish, and plankton. And sea greens, and protein from the sea. It's all here, ready. Fresh as harvest day. Fish and sea greens, plankton and protein from the sea. And then it stopped coming. And they came instead. So I store them here. I'm ready. And you're ready. It's my job. To freeze you. Protein, plankton...
While they certainly have more in common than say "New Mexico" and "Mexico," the existence of "China" in both of their names doesn't make them the same thing.
I'm fairly certain the people of Taiwan consider Taiwan a different place than China -- enough so that they have the whole Taiwan name and all.
The difference, even with horse-dragging, is that every mustard gas and microwave "infographic" is meant to cause severe harm. Even the lightest consequence is "TOP KEK! I destroyed your iPhone. Have fun explaining it to your mom. Also, you left an EXIF on the picture you posted in reply, so we're going to dox you and shame you over it. Maybe you'll kill yourself, loser."
Sure, you can fall off a ladder pulling toilet paper our of your trees, but the goal was to show a little love. [Somewhere hazing becomes having a guy drink himself to death, but few of us have died of toilet paper related injuries.] We turned a few cars sideways in parking spaces and gave a few swirlies in our days -- but the worst consequence (outside of a few suspensions) was inconvenience. Tie a few outside doors to trees, blow some baby powder under some dorm doors......but lets try to stop deliberately hurting each other.
The best practical joke I was ever involved in I was the victim - or among them anyway. We had TP'd a house. Nothing too serious. A handful of kids and an 8-pack of toilet paper. We live in Arizona, so some cactus and palo verde trees were involved, but otherwise we just messed up a lawn. It rained that night. We had made a pretty good mess. The kid, not entirely sure who had TD'd him, concocted and spread a story that his father had, in the subsequent clean-up, fallen from a ladder and hurt his back, had to miss a few days of work, etc. etc. He sold the story pretty well...well enough that we bought it. Each of us took turns apologizing and confessing our role.
We went to try a new Mexican restaurant one night, but showed up one night too early (on friends-and-family night). So a few spins of the wheel later, we were at another new (to us) Mexican restaurant in the same area.
I see someone out there has been browsing 4chan again.
The "microwave your phone to charge it" fake infographic/lifehack has been posted countless times before, but nicely updated for the new iPhone. Plenty of kids have iPhones, and plenty of kids are ignorant.
The "microwave your phone to charge it" infographic has been posted next to such informative graphics as: - Put a drop of gasoline in the corner of your eye to see rainbow colors. - Mix ammonia and bleach in a dish, put a penny in the bottom, and blow into a straw to grow crystals. - Ice cream too hard? Microwave the spoon!
...and countless others, largely centering around poison gas, microwaves, and putting the red-hot spoon in your hand under running water.:/
The questionnaire is linked and fairly boring. In fact, it spends questions 1-31 asking pretty benign stuff, then has a quick one-page two-question "have you been harassed" block, with some follow-up questions like "If yes to #31, was the offender your superior, peer or subordinate."
There's no asking if you have both male and female subordinates, or if management is primarily male, or if you only have female peers; so there's no way to tell if male peers are more of less "dangerous" than female subordinates or any other combination you might want to figure out.
Apparently having an opinion apart from the group-think gets some pretty heavy moderation these days...
Does someone actually think these are well-worded questions that provide a clear understanding of the definitions of "sexual harassment" and "physical sexual harassment," or do they just prefer people not see the post by modding it down?
The questions on the test make it impossible to known if male supervisors were likely to harass women more, or if there were simply more male superiors.
There isn't a separate section that says "if you had a female superior."

Stop calling them loopholes.
Loopholes are unintended.

- Setec. - What?
Setec Astronomy.
I just love it when a man says that to me.
Setec doesn't mean anything.
Excuse me.
Carl... ...can you get me some cable and that l/O interface, please?
"Monterey's coast."
Does "Monterey's coast" mean anything to you guys?
- No. - No.
Here, help me with this.
Carl, get the diagnostics.
How about "my Socrates note"?
No.
- No, I don't... - No. No.
Got it. Move to another one.
Give me another one.
Stay in that quadrant.
It's kind of the same thing. Try another quadrant.
Mother, what was that? Go back one.
All right.
Holy cow.
What the hell is this?
"Too many secrets."
...but there's still the problem of releasing the "secret" to your hidden-in-plain-sight key later.
Having published the photo steganographically is one thing. Telling people to get the key out of your lolcat photo after you're dead is another.
Thanks. Neat.
Up next, Hong Kong :)
Did I miss the great 2-D printing lock-down that happened in 2014 where they all have a ton of restrictions and don't take generic ink?
Will they print me up a FedEx truck?
Yes, but what will they deliver it in?
Post to USENET, it'll still be on servers everywhere for another decade.
The trick is releasing the decryption key upon your death.

Nah, now that we've listened in on your phone calls, we'll begin our process of Parallel Construction.
Thanks for making the calls though :)

In science, we call that a biological need to reproduce with the fittest specimens available.
