The FAA decided that Casey had no case to answer because (apparently) the YouTube videos were insufficient evidence to conclusively prove he broke the regulations.
I wasn't aware that there was a resolution by the FAA. Casey is still filming his drone shots outside of NYC.
I highly recommend getting -some- experience in management.
Management by itself isn't the brass ring that it used to be. I was at Cisco in October 2013 when the powers to be decided to go with a flatter management structure and laid off three layers of middle management. Many of these managers didn't have enough responsibility and/or direct reports. The Indian workers thought they were untouchable but Cisco ran out of Americans to layoff each year.
The sad thing is that you actually believe this drivel that you keep spouting.
The sad thing is that people don't plan out their career and think that having a series of jobs makes for a career.
13 years is a long time where plenty of things can change and if you've seriously been preparing since the first DotCom bust
The Great Recession was an unexpected turn and then fighting older baby boomers for jobs in the years that followed. They say that the average person experiences one depression and two recessions in their lifetime. I got through the Dot Com Bust (recession) and Great Recession (depression). I'm preparing for the Hillary Recession that should happen in the next few years.
[...] $50k a year in Silicon Valley you've not made a lick of real progress.
I've only been making $50K+ for the last four years. With the labor marketing tightening in Silicon Valley, I'm just waiting for the recruiters to approach me with the right $100K+ job.
What give him the idea that an workstation a IPMI? for remote power on?
I don't recall how it was done in 2007, as I never remotely turned on a workstation as a help desk tech. Where I work today has the 1E client installed on workstations. As a remediation tech, I have to remotely turn on or reboot workstations to get them to patch correctly. The 1E client works most of the time, if it was installed and installed properly.
Without these ppl I wouldn't be able to write any code
Not everyone working in IT gets paid $200K+ per year. A lot of low-end tech jobs in Silicon Valley start off at $10 per hour (depending on local minimum wage law). Hourly pay rates have been going up since most hipsters won't travel more than 30 minutes from San Francisco.
No, Google expected people to turn on their own workstations.
There's a reason they hired someone (you) at a much cheaper rate to handle low level stuff like that.
Except it was against help desk policy for a help desk tech to remotely turn or or reboot workstations. As a help desk tech, I've never turned on or rebooted a workstation. That wasn't my job.
I know several people who graduated as electrical engineers in the 1990's who found themselves out of work after the dot com bust, went back to school to get their MBA, and now work in IT Support. They're mad that I make more money than them even though I got into IT Support a decade before they did. Not sure I would recommend an EE degree these days.
Nope. Just demographics. This can be seen in the construction trades where American workers are aging out, foreign workers are going home, and high schools are diverting students from the skilled trades to colleges.
Most college students don't look at the long-term demographic trends for their major and ask if they will have a job after graduating. When I first read the study about 2030, people told me I was nuts to learn computer programming. Layoffs were still taking place after the dot com bust, healthcare became the new money major that everyone and their grandparents flocked to. I went back to school, got into IT Support and I love my career. As for my friends who went into healthcare, they're making big bucks switching out bedpans and hate their career.
Are you really trying to engage with creimer, and expecting sanity? The porcine failure always changes his story, sometimes within the same sentence! Assuming he didn't forget entire words.
I've been preparing for 2030 since the dot com bust when I first read a study making this same prediction (1M+ at the time) and went back to school to learn computer programming. In 13 years from now, I'll be 17 years away from retirement and making the big bucks
He only used the workstations at the university lab and wasn't allowed to touch the workstations there.
Most computer labs don't want students touching the workstations, or, God forbid, taking one apart. That kinda made sense when I took Intro to Computers in the early 1990's and the priesthood still existed for the IBM PCs in the computer labs. That it was still the case when I got this particular phone call in 2007 surprised me. I went back to school to learn computer programming after the dot com bust, the priesthood got banished and no one cared if you touched the workstations.
Wait a few years. The IT industry is expected to have a shortage of 1.5M+ skilled workers in 2030. That's when the baby boomers are retired and most foreign workers have gone home (thanks, Trump!), Social Security and Medicare will take up 2/3 of the federal budget, and taxes paid by a much smaller workforce will have to pay for everything else.
Sounds more like "surprised that he wouldn't get in trouble for pressing the power button" rather than "shocked that no one was standing around to turn on his workstation".
No, he wanted someone to turn on his workstation. He was surprised that it was against help desk policy for a help desk tech to remotely turn on or reboot a workstation.
[...] I think you're painting with a broad brush when you say the majority of CS majors can't tell you how a processor works.
When I worked the Google IT help desk, I had to talk a newly hired CS graduate into turning on his own workstation. He only used the workstations at the university lab and wasn't allowed to touch the workstations there. He was shocked that no one was standing around to turn on his workstation.
There's the "always make a post and simply contradict" types, there's the "spread fake anecdotes about the poster" types, there's the "talk about the poster behind his back" types(*), and there's the "simply post an insult" types, there's "take the argument to a ridiculous extremes" types, and "associate the argument with racism/homophobia/whatever" types ("that argument is racist!").
I supposedly have 10+ user accounts to argue with myself.
They're using this particular tactic on you because their reading of your personality type indicates that it'll get you angry.
I'm not angry. I'm amused by this attention and the traffic it drives to my websites. If the trolls left me alone, I would have been gone months ago. Now that they proven the value of Slashdot, I'm here to stay and make my half-cents.
In any case as a tech site I would think Slashdot is a good fit for this. Imagine a backpropagation algorithm that utilizes time travel!
One of my favorite James P. Hogan novel was "Thrice Upon A Time", where an engineer develops a computer that send email forward or backward in time. Whenever an email got send backward in time, it reset the timeline at the point where the email got received. The story got reset three times before the engineer decides to leave it alone.

She should have stored it in a fireproof and explosion proof bag.
You aren't earning that.
No, but recruiters are sending me positions for $100K+ per year. I'm waiting for the right one to show up.
Show me the connections to the actual people that had to deal with your ugly face every day.
That's the nice thing about my job: 30+ people jabbering into a headset. I work alone in my own office with the fabulous window view of the roofline.

You do know that Hillary is done with public office, no?
Yes. I also know that the current POTUS will blame shift for any recession that happens on his watch to someone else. Hence, the Hillary Recession.
[...] creimer is swamped by recruiters tripping over each other to place him in jobs that pay almost nothing.
I guess $100K+ is nothing in Silicon Valley these days.

Or a LinkedIn account with 800+ connections to recruiters.
Casey Neistat did a video review of the DJI Spark drone. Unfortunately, he can't fly it in New York City since he's under investigation by the FAA. I guess NYC is a no fly zone with the Trumps out of town.

By 2030, the AIs will have wiped out most programming jobs - not by programming but by eliminating the need.
IT isn't only about programming. You tech need techs to build out the infrastructure and maintain the cloud (which is someone else's servers).

It would't hurt to take CS as a major and business as a minor. Never know when you will find yourself in a startup and taking on a management role.
