Element Analytics | San Francisco, CA, US

-- Who we are --

We're a small startup (<20 people) working on industrial data problems, applying machine learning techniques to sensor data in industries from energy, transportation, and manufacturing, to mining and more. We're solving hard problems for our customers by putting their data to work for them.

-- Hiring process --

You will do two phone screens (15 for the first, 45 for the second) to make sure there's a good fit, then and 1/2 day onsite where we talk about engineering problems and make sure you know what kind of problems you’d be working on with us. Offers will be extended within 1 day of the onsite interview.

-- Our stack --

We run on linux in Azure, our APIs are primarily implemented using Scala (on Spray), the frontend is written with React.js, and we use python in some machine learning applications as well as for systems programming. Our data processing/machine learning is done in either Scala or python on Spark. Our service infrastructure is docker containers running on DCOS across multiple tenants (both our customers' and our own).

-- What you would do --

We are currently hiring tech leads in both DevOps and Front-End engineering. If you are at the top of your game and want to work on a small team solving hard problems, apply here: http://www.elementanalytics.com/careers/
If half of them would work outside of the US, people would already be happy. DO’s usability goes down a lot if you don’t have a credit card (you literally pay to be able to pay), and Twilio is quite similar.
It's going to sound like I'm telling you how to live your life and how to feel and I really don't mean it that way but I don't know any other way to express my viewpoint so I'll just power through it:

The idea that someone, somewhere is making a profit on something you provided should make you happy, not sad. To make a profit, they had to be paid, and to be paid they normally have to have provided something that someone wanted enough to part with cash. That cash changed hands is not the main point of the transaction (it's a net zero for society, someone gained cash and someone lost it), the main point is rather that something of value was created.

You threw out the example of pay journals like Elsevier. It is true that for cases like that, there may be a market inefficiency that means not much value is created. But I think those are edge cases and relatively rare. Even if our worst fears about Elsevier and other rent seeking journals are true, it would still be the case that you're helping rather than hurting by providing anonymized personal data.

Increasing urban unaffordability is a theme throughout the US, yes, but let's not pretend that the Bay Area has experienced this to a degree not seen anywhere else - even in New York.

While unaffordability and its many causes needs to be addressed everywhere, SF does seem like the odd one out of the bunch.
Great, we'll have 1/3 less traffic and more housing space soon!

The same way a search warrant can force you to hand over your diary.
Is the Bay Area no longer a good place to start a career? I'm close to finishing up my PhD, and my original plan was to apply to work at the tech companies that I find most interesting. For the most part, these are located in the Bay Area — although some are in New York, Austin, Boston, Seattle, Raleigh, and Atlanta.

I figured I would stay there 2-4 years tops though, since my family and girlfriend live in the southeast. I don't mind living in a box-sized apartment for a while, but if there's no longer a career benefit to doing this, then perhaps I should focus my job search efforts on other cities?

We are a 100% remote work company but think it’s important to get together for a face to face once and awhile. Our culture is very dynamic but this isn’t a startup. There aren’t any weekend consuming death marches get things done but we all work hard in a balanced way.

> I grew up in Cupertino, and when I visit my parents there, I'm rather shocked at how downhill the neighborhood has gone in parts. It's crazy that these old 70's tract homes go for 1.5 million. Even more insane is that they're bought and then left empty to go downhill. Literally broken windows and paint falling off. I never used to see that.

Do you have any idea what's behind this?

Robo-Advisor Movement Is Dying as Growth Rates Crash
Not sure if Portland stole Austin's drawbridge syndrome like Keep Portland Weird, but I see the same attitude here.

Portland is great, but it is changing. Housing is growing fast, transportation is not keeping up with the growth and the city is not doing enough to solve the homeless problem. Conversely, amazing food, everything you want in a metro but not the size of NY, excellent outdoor options and a growing tech scene.

Yup, it can just become 50% empty investment properties, and folks can scrounge for what's left. Some solution is going to be needed to prevent that situation, though maybe with all those empty houses, there'll be less people to make traffic so bad.
You can be compelled to provide fingerprints based on a warrant; I'm unsurprised (and not particularly bothered) that you can be compelled to use them on your own device.

I thought that fingerprints were to be provided to:

1) establish biometric proof of identity
2) establish the presence of a person in a particular place
3) establish a person handled a particular object

Or does the law establish that the authorities can use fingerprints for evidence in any fashion? Could they use a scan of a fingerprint to etch a fake-fingerprint latex sheet to open your locked device?

Digital Strategy 101
Aren't there tons of studies on whether some particular food is good for the heart, good for the brain, etc.? It's not that nobody does them, it's just really hard to get a conclusive result that applies to everyone. There are lots of foods that are both good and bad for you, depending on the study.

I think the problem might be more that there aren't very many universal results, and the fish and vegetables diet that works for one person won't work for others.

I may be missing some nuance here, but wouldn't increasing sales tax (as the Silicon Valley Leadership Group is advocating) further disproportionately punish lower-income residents? The article doesn't make clear whether moving towards a "Manhattan-like megalopolis" would be a positive or negative trend, but this would push it further down that road.
RAND didn't mention the commonality between the F/A-18A and the F-117A aircraft.

McDonnell-Douglas significantly upgraded the YF-17 mission systems and cockpit avionics for the F/A-18A/B and it was more advanced than the F-16A version at the time.

The F-117A basically used the same mission avionics and engines as the F/A-18 which was a few years ahead in development.

Having inter-service commonality in major systems and components sometimes a better option than a joint aircraft program. The USAF is upgrading the F-15C (& some export customers) with AN/APG-82 radar, which is basically a larger AESA "antenna" on a AN/APG-79 radar from a Super Hornet.
REDUCE THAT POT BELLY IN TWO DAYS
Ladies who have tried this trick take a week to adjust their belly to slim size due to improper procedures.Kingfisher works best but even Quarana is better too.
After dripping one bottle of quarana,add 5 spoons of coconut juice,quarter oranger dripped glass of water;do not sip this mixture but drink once like water.Ensure you take either a bottle full of quarana or kingfisher;mix with a glass of water,using a belt,tie your belly to the desired size then sleep overnight.Wake up,you belly will maintain that same size.
Repeat it after aweek to ensure perfect results.Recommended for pot bellied or fats burn.

You just put Austin in everyones head now. hehe
I can't find the source now, but years ago in an agricultural class in high school I was told that studies had been done on weight recovery in cattle who had been through drought conditions and who were either malnuritied or had lost significant weight. I believe the results were that the cattle recovered and increased their weight after this occurred.

Wish I could find that study! But it would be an interesting hypothesis to test for: if someone reduced their calorific content too quickly then the body will attempt to compensate when normal eating resumes. Obviously it would need to use animals and a control group but it might be insightful.
Messaging Could Disintermediate  the Mobile OS [pdf]
You're semi-right here. People saying why their offering is better than competitors better know what the competition offers. Marketing 101 says dig deep to find that plus differentiators. That much I agree with.

That said, your excuse for GlusterFS site being screwed up is that other projects are screwups, too. Makes no sense. Let's put it into perspective: Gluster people could spend under 5 minutes typing up and posting that page. Instead, they expect all potential users or contributors to spend 10m-1hr digginh through docs for same information. Meanwhile, many FOSS pages state clearly what their software does.

So, no excuses. It's just laziness and foolish on top of that given they want more adoption of a tool they won't describe haha. The responsibility is on them to present their work in a clear way given that goal. They're failing on that right now.
Seattle is good!

Full Stack Developer

We're working on some very cool technology (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBJQQbPSZVU) and are looking to grow our small team of developers. Our priority is to find someone with broad chops who is comfortable with many facets of both back-end and front-end development, and who would be comfortable in a lead role. Ideally you are experienced with some of the following: Node, Java, C#, Lisp, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MogoDB, Backbone, Solr, Elasticsearch, AWS, NLP, machine learning.
This is why we need a guaranteed minimum income. Hopefully, TSA screeners would stop showing up to work.
Yeah, the scanners are very sensitive and will highlight any abnormality. When I flew earlier this month, the TSA agents were walking up and down the line announcing "Empty your pockets completely, including all tissues, papers, and lint; they will show up on the scan". This is true and has happened to me multiple times.
Cycling to work can be a great hassle free way to get exercise if you are able.
That's a bit excessive. I did a ride of 3 hours on the weekend and put 1832kJ worth of energy into the pedals, that translates (at 25% efficiency) to 1750kcal total energy expended.

It's actually pretty difficult to eat back those 1750kcal if you don't go out of your way to stuff your face with sweets.

The point most people (and certainly the press) misses with the "exercise doesn't work!11" meme is that of course it will never work if you simply see it as some kind of tool for weight loss or necessary evil. You are just going to stop the moment you have your "goal weight". The point is to turn the exercise (rather, find a sport) into a habit, a hobby.

I'm not being facetious, Austin is quite overhyped.
This is so true. I was traveling with my partner and she decided to buy a bunch of haircare products. Like the 4 or 5 big 1L containers of shampoo and conditioner.

I told her "we need to check those bags, otherwise they'll make you throw them out". She said it would be fine. And guess what? It was. Almost 4L of liquids in her carry-on and no one said a thing.

How to Use Cohorts to Analyze User Behavior
Perhaps the people who wrote the constitution didn't foresee an attempt to utilize control of movement as a means to bypass inalienable rights.
Of course they're a 'corp', and of course they're looking after their own interests over yours. Looking after your interests is your own job, no one else's.

The employer-employee relationship is partly a fight. The best you can hope is that it be a gentleman's one, with no hits under the belt, rather than an all-out brawl or backstabbing.

grayfox is showing you cards that the average employer would hold back and would only release at gunpoint: salary range, internal details of hiring process, how long the process takes... seems this is gentleman's territory for now.

The long process selects for people who are happy with their jobs, which is the situation of most experienced and skilled people. I have seen worse.

Edit: I'm realising this is more aggresive than I like. I'll leave it as is, with the addition that I once thought like you, and this here is the state of mind I've come to have now that I've been on both sides of the recruiting fence.
the bubble will pop for companies that do not actually have a product to sell.
That's almost irrelevant. The point is, the computational power on even a 5th generation fighter is much less than a flagship smartphone. Which is fine, because defense acquisition is on a completely different timescale than a typical consumer electronic product.
