The way these immoral and corrupt big-tech sycophants are kissing the ass of the CCP (who by the way are committing a GENOCIDE and have SLAVES in CONCENTRATION CAMPS as I write this) is not only pathetic, but downright shocking.” According the user, who alerted Breitbart News to the Big Tech company’s censorship, Linkedin said his post violated…

The company saw demonstrable results in its initial deployments, according to a statement issued by the startup.  The company’s platform “generated more accurate medication data” than data already within electronic health records, and providers were found to save as much as 40 minutes per patient during pre-admission or post-discharge medication reconciliation, the company stated. “Medication errors are now the leading cause of medical-related injuries, and non-optimized medication therapy costs over $528.4 billion annually,” Desai’s post reads.  “Our north star is to eliminate medication-related errors and optimize medication therapy for millions by building a modern cloud-based medication management system that is patient-centric and provider-focused.” Desai added that the company is only starting its journey.  The statement notes that the company has doubled its growth in the three prior months. …

By MICHAEL R. SISAK, Associated Press Published: January 21, 2022, 5:07pm NEW YORK — A New York Police Department officer was killed and another gravely injured Friday night after responding to a domestic disturbance call, according to a law enforcement official. A suspect was also wounded in the shooting in Harlem, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly and did so on condition of anonymity. Mayor Eric Adams was at the hospital where the officers were taken after the shooting, the third time in four days that officers have faced gunfire on the job. An officer was wounded in the leg Tuesday night in the Bronx during a struggle with a teenager who also shot himself. On Thursday, a narcotics detective was shot in the leg on Staten Island. The last NYPD officer fatally shot in the line of duty, Brian Mulkeen, was hit by friendly fire while struggling with an armed man after chasing and shooting at him in the Bronx in September 2019.

By Kevin Eck on Jan. 21, 2022 - 10:28 AM Tori Yorgey has let everyone know she’s OK after getting hit by a car yesterday live on the station’s morning newscast. Yorgey was hit while reporting for Huntington, W. Va. NBC affiliate WSAZ. On the station’s website, Yorgey said she is grateful for the support she’s received and added that her boss took her to the hospital afterwards. But the incident that was viewed live on-air seems to be taking a back seat to journalists thoughts and feelings about the practice of sending reporters out to cover stories all alone. “The reporter is a one man band doing a live shot ALONE and at night. She can’t have situational awareness,”  WCBS reporter Aundrea Cline-Thomas tweeted. “The anchor didn’t flinch or show any concern. They didn’t cut away from the shot so the control room could make sure she was safe and send her help. This is infuriating!” While CNN correspondent Dianne Gallagher wrote, “I’m glad she’s ok. Having said that…STOP SENDING REPORTERS OUT ALONE TO RUN THEIR OWN LIVE SHOTS. Especially in the dark. Especially on the side of the road. Especially in severe weather. But really, in any circumstance, it’s…

We’re seeing that machine learning engineer roles are only requiring four years of experience on average, which is great for someone who is just starting out.”RR: “The consistent, high demand for machine learning engineers is not surprising, but the increased demand toward the end of last year and…

One of the biggest challenges of finding a new job is standing out among the competition: in a pile of hundreds, sometimes thousands of applications, why should a recruiter pick yours? The difference between landing an offer or a rejection can come down to skills — not just the qualifications you list in a single line on your resume, but also the examples you provide in an interview or cover letter that highlight your strengths. "Hiring managers are prioritizing soft skills in a way they never have before," LinkedIn career expert Andrew McCaskill tells CNBC Make It. "They're recognizing that this new world of remote and hybrid work requires people who can adapt and are eager to learn."According to Monster's "Future of Work" global report, which included responses from 3,000 business leaders in September, 58% of employers said finding candidates with the right skills has been their biggest hiring challenge during the coronavirus pandemic. Another 63% of employers, however, said they would hire someone with transferable skills – think teamwork, time management or leadership — and train them on the technical aspects of the job. Here are the top three skills job-seekers need in 2022, according to McCaskill and Monster career expert Vicki Salemi. Dependability Against…

Web3 feels like a herd mentality now but for us, it is more about our philosophical belief on decentralized internet infrastructure for the future," said Domkundwar in an interview with VCCircle.  Web3 stands for a decentralized version of the internet that runs on peer-to-peer technologies such as a public blockchain and it has become one of the most sought-after new age themes among venture capital investors now.  Better Capital, which made its first bet in India with an investment in neo banking startup Open in 2018, has become one of the most active and prominent early-stage investors with a focus…
