Startup company slave for a vape company. I mostly do maintenance but pop into matters here and there when needed on a niche basis.

The thing about startup companies is, you will probably think you're going to be fired... every week, week to week... forever, until you are and it isn't just you, it's everybody that isn't management. Shit changes quick and if you don't adapt, out you go.

But they already did solve it anon. By putting a human "driver" in the vehicle the "driver" can handle the maintenance and fuel needs of the vehicle while simultaneously adapting to poor weather, road conditions, traffic, etc. This "driver" can also be used to load and unload cargo, and is capable of instantly responding to mechanical failures and even fixing many of these problems that would prevent the truck from making an on time delivery.

You can go pretty far if you're poor. Study at a community college for 2 years then switch to a public university for 2 years majoring in something that actually has jobs or study to be a tradesman.

Any inside info on the "outbound retentions" department? How to raep them of a good deal?
>>
>>53049357

You really wouldn't.

I basically pop open the machines and clean them inside and out.

When shit breaks, I get told to fix it. But most of the time it's really boring, swap some parts and order new ones.

If that were enjoyable you'd still hate it.
You're constantly surrounded by addicts, some of which will continuously complain about unfair machines.
The rest of them, mostly on roulette machines, will be "calculating" which number will fall next.

The most popular "method" of prediction is for example;

11 fell 2 spins ago
21 fell in the last spin
11+21=32 therefore, next number that'll fall is 32.

And then when something entirely different falls, they'll loudly exclaim that they knew that number would fall.

But they never thought to bet on that number and still went with 32.

Another thing.
With slot machines people will drop 3-400 bucks into it and expect a win, with win rates set as they are there's some merit in their expectations, but it's never clear when that happens.

So they're playing, put a couple hundred in a machine and for some reason, something breaks. (Shit rarely breaks, but when it does it's memorable)

If something permanently fucks up and I cannot quickly replace a part or fix it, they'll get mad at me and demand their money back, even though it's already been spent.
These people never realise that the money they dropped in was all spent on each spin for a CHANCE to win.

And I can't tell them to fuck off because I'll get in shit, and being the lowest rank of employee I'm rather replaceable*

*Not TOO replaceable, they've been searching for people to hire to do what I do for MONTHS, that's how you know the job sucks, as well.
>>
>>53049943
How'd you get into that? Seems like it would be cool to work at a police department.
>>
>>53050659

To add to this:

What I'd really like to do is get my hands on a central computer used for the machine network.
The network does all the communications of how much money goes in and out of each machine, how many games are played, if it needs a refill yes or no.

It also controls the machines.
You can tell a machine to go in refill mode so employees don't have to turn a key to get in that menu.
You can do a dump as well, the machine will clear the hoppers of coins so you can take it to the money counting room for booking etc.

I want to reverse engineer the protocol and see if I could make a device that I can hook up in a casino and send a building-wide message to all machines to completely clear their hoppers.
Not for nefarious reasons, I just want to see if I can and find a way to fix it.

That's what I really want to do, but I'm not smurt enough for the cool kid shit :<

>A self driving car can't put fuel in itself

> a self driving car can't make sure a heavy load is secure
You hardly need one driver to do that

> a self driving car can't pull over and change a tire if it blows
Dispatch someone from the nearest city

>For that matter a self driving car can't manage a flat tire period
[citation needed] and again, yet.

>A self driving car is going to shit itself in a blizzard when suddenly no GPS signal and no indication there's a road in front of it
People shit themselves in blizzards. Are you suggesting a trucker should operate in __blizzard__ conditions? you are the retard. Further, self driving cars can use radar to deduce where objects are, and thus have far greater vision than a human ever could. Also, http://www.wired.com/2016/01/the-clever-way-fords-self-driving-cars-navigate-in-snow/. ford's maps can place a car within a centimeter of precision. You obviously have done 0 research.

> a self driving car is not able to handle black ice
Yet. There's no reason they can't handle black ice as well as humans. Since a driver won't need to sleep, the car could always just slow to a crawl under extreme conditions and make up for its lack of speed with the time it spends on the road.

>A self driving car can't unload its cargo at its destination using an ancient and barely function on site forklift because the vendor receiver is sick that day and the replacement is retarded.
