you are assuming a dms existed. a workflow system was integrated into the email thing but that's about it.

an engineer in quality control rolled his own dms to track critical issues and it was so effective it was used site wide. then hq found out about it, said they were going to implement it company wide, and proceeded to turn it over to the internal software folks who then stripped out all of the useful features and flexibility that made it so effective in the first place.

Oh and relocated the server to Korea so we couldn't touch it and had to be logged into a slow as balls vpn to use. which is a problem when the best way to document a problem is 130mb of raw photos or an hd video showing a robot exhibiting bad movement due to a failed bearing. and those photos and videos had to be embedded into a word doc because .tif and .mpeg weren't supported file types (remember I said they removed the flexibility?).

I love these stories, keep them coming. every once in a while I come across a Samsung job posting and even though it looks good on paper I tell myself that it must be a clusterfuck and I would hate it there. glad to see I was right

it turns out you can't trust google even when they have money on the line. this should go really well for their future partnerships.

as much as I want to se google blow a ton of money for no reason, I'd rather they not kill tesla if only because it's the only American car company that isn't garbage.

"uber blog posted:

Uber and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) are announcing today a strategic partnership that includes the creation of the Uber Advanced Technologies Center in Pittsburgh, near the CMU campus. The center will focus on the development of key long-term technologies that advance Uber’s mission of bringing safe, reliable transportation to everyone, everywhere.

The partnership will provide a forum for Uber technology leaders to work closely with CMU faculty, staff, and students — both on campus and at the National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC) — to do research and development, primarily in the areas of mapping and vehicle safety and autonomy technology.

The post is ambiguous about whether they'll be working on rape-bots as well, stay tuned.
