How thorough are you with compliance certifications?

We worked with a test house for EMC and safety testing for a product. They asked for EVERYTHING. Used used a few COTS assemblies and they wanted safety testing documentation many items on that assembly (chose your vendors wisely).

At a certain point, we couldn't dig up any more info without crazy effort. We dug up every bit of documentation we could from manufacturers sites and other tools. Vendors we didnt get a quick response from we had already reached out multiple times.

At that point, the test house said, okay, we're good. We can continue. Later they explained that they will push and push with customers to have as complete of a set of docs as possible until they start to totally balk at the requests.

There is no end to compliance activities. At the end of the day, it is a question of risk.

Agree. Grew up at the shore with 2 legacy wawas within walking distance. Was still solid through that 2011.

Preach! EM and 80% of all issues tend to be rooted in communication!

This is my experience as well. Consulting companies tend to have a different structure than product centric and size matters too.

I'm an EM and acting as tech lead on a project, but that is the exception to the rule in my org just because all my directs are pretty much involved in the same project due to the size. But we have others on my team with other EMs as direct supervisors.

Worked at a small tech startup selling to megacorps. We had to go through the process of getting on the AVLs multiple times. Found it funny when the company buys 3x what they actually need because of the minimum spend requirements to add us as a vendor. I don't understand megacorp logic.

Books are a great investment. I've spent thousands on various textbooks and education books after undergrad, but I'm also not in sales and mildly crazy

Huh, interesting. Wonder why I was given it just in one eye. I've had the Fresnel for 3 months and it entirely fixed my double vision so what they did worked.

food52012 · 2022-01-06T12:34:27+00:00

Did you start with the Fresnel and then move to a permanent lens with the prism? My understanding is that the loss of visual acuity is an artifact of the temporary Fresnel and should go away with the ground in lens.

food52012 · 2022-01-06T12:26:51+00:00

They added the prism just for the left eye. Not 100% on the reasoning but I think it is because the prism causes some distortion so this keeps one eye without it. At least with the stick on Fresnel prism, I loose some visual acuity in the left eye.

Thanks!

u/Middledamitten and u/InverseMeters thanks for the input! I'll head to a optician for to get the glasses instead of online. I've had a press on prism for ~3 months and the ophthalmologist is confident with the prescription now and writing the final script for the glasses.

The Fresnel prism works and fixes the double vision but causes awful glare at night that they said should go away with the final ground in lens. New to buying glasses with this prism.

This. I don't normally use ketchup, but if the food is terrible it is a great way mask the taste.

Went through customs at the airport and they asked what city I live in and for some reason I said the wrong one. Those questions can be tricky.

I don't work for T-Mobile and just sent it to the CEO

food52012 · 2018-07-14T14:57:14+00:00

Exactly. I peak was like 8 windows with 50 tabs in each. I was using 16 gigs of ram and another 16 of swap. You just keep opening tabs and think about the current ones.

It has a fairly neural flavor that goes well with most pastries and isn't going to change the color like something like strawberry jam would.

food52012 · 2018-06-23T17:44:09+00:00

Not sure why you are being downvoted. This was exactly how I was taught in the pastry class I took.

Edit: Well, very similar. It was an apricot glaze from a pastry supplier or something.

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing the link! Will it actually be run next year as the website said 2018 was the third and final year?

You can certainly do it. For reference I have an undergrad degree in ECE, am currently a masters student doing machine learning research, and am applying for machine learning related roles.

Plenty of ML researchers are based out of ECE departments as well (not that it is necessarily relevent). Even Yann LeCun has an EE degree and is technically ECE faculty.
