Word choice could use some work.

If you could make this thing dispense drip coffee, he’d be all over it

I like that you used action words first for each bullet point under each project. i.e. Configured, Handled, Established, Developed, etc… Keep that. In general everything is kept brief, which is good, but make sure it emphasizes the most important qualities or skills/experience for each. Here is definitely not the place to sell yourself short or minimize the project or your abilities. Embellish a little bit on them. Sure, lots of people have set up apache web server on an old unused desktop, but you don’t have to minimize the effort or value it added. Plenty of people have also never done that and don’t have the competency to do it either. Even people you may end up working with.

I know others have harped on the work experience section or suggested removing it, but I would say keep it and work with what you have. My first suggestion is to make it more brief and less wordy. Spin your experience gained and responsibilities more to the type of job you want than the job you had.

For example, I think it’s good to keep this section because it shows you can hold a job and some responsibility. When you obtain your next relevant job in IT, you can probably drop the fast food position, unless you feel it ends up adding significant value later on.

Additionaly, from that first work experience, emphasize any soft skills you developed or used involving interfacing with customers. Depending on your exact role in IT, you could be assisting other employees or interfacing with customers or business partners. So establishing you are an approachable person because of your relevant experience in a customer-facing role can be positive thing.

Finally, I agree with other comments about ordering things starting with most recent, and working backwards from there. This would naturally land the work experience last.

It’s a long shot

I don’t know if the article talks about this or not (paywalled), but my guess would be due to public distrust. In case you weren’t aware, 23andme was recently hacked, exposing 6.9 million users data [1] and a class action lawsuit followed [2].

My personal biggest issue has always been with their TOS regarding how they forever own and will retain the rights to the provided DNA sample and resulting data derived from your DNA. This data was not treated or regulated as sensive medical data under something like HIPAA, so who knows how well they safeguard it [3].

Their website claims they won’t sell the data to 3rd parties or insurance companies without users consent, but we all have heard that before from Silicon Valley companies. This data could be sold or used in the future in ways I cannot fully conceive right now, and/or in ways I don’t agree with. With the rise in popularity of things like GPT, who knows if they will use the data for training AI models. These problems aren’t unique to 23andme, rather any of the tech DNA/ancestry companies.

When you hear this from any company, get out. Sell whatever you have in it immediately. Even if you take a loss, you’ll take a bigger one waiting it out.

Apple MacBooks and iMacs don’t have this side-loading issue like their mobile devices do. You can install anything you want to as long as it’s supported on a Mac, and from anywhere you want. So they are more or less a more premium Linux variant. I’m not sure why you came in here thinking this discussion applied to non mobile devices.

It is

Yeah, I mean or you could just stop buying Apple products.

TLDR;

1. Deep learning for protein design
2. Deepfake detection
3. Large-fragment DNA insertion
4. Brain-computer interfaces
5. Super-duper resolution (microscopic imaging)
6. Cell atlases
7. Nano materials printed in 3D

Apple throwing a tantrum as a holiday FOMO marketing scheme. A new low.

Don’t knock it till ya try it!

Massively overrated game. I thought it’d be an adventure game, but it turned out to be a timed puzzle game where you end up just rushing back to the same spot over and over again because the game kills you when times up. and you don’t even know if what you’re doing is correct. By the time you figure out this isn’t an adventure game it’s too late to return it for a refund.

They’re doing a fine job killing themselves already.

Edit: why are you booing me? I’m right.
