Headquartered in Kansas City, MO, we are hiring in both KC as well in Austin, TX for multiple development positions to help expand our data science and data intelligence capabilities for real-time intelligence, recommendations, and predictions. Interest in machine learning, analytics, data, and system design is a must as you will be heavily involved in each area of the system. You will also work directly with data scientists on the team to scale models for production and provide an efficient available platform for analysis and insight.

The basics:

* 3-5 years of Java or Python experience required. We leverage both Python and Java, but Python is the primary language of the data intelligence team, however as long as you have a good Java background and are not afraid to learn than Python experience is not required.

* Prior experience in one or more of Spark, Kafka, Cassandra, Hadoop, machine learning application preferred, but not required

* Ability to learn quickly and work independently desired as there is a remote component to this position as we are a distributed team. No fully remote positions available though. All applicants must be able to work in either the KC or Austin office.

* Our interview process is fairly direct and painless with an hour phone interview and then a half day on-site before making a final decision.

* In addition to medical, dental and vision insurance, we also offer a competitive PTO package, matching 401k and reimbursement of attending 2 sporting events each year, for market research.

I apologize on last month's Who's Hiring I wasn't aware there were comments posted to my comment so I didn't reply before it was locked. I will be sure to keep an eye on this post, but please email me directly to be sure.

Thanks!
> There is a worrying trend of treating staff as equally capable but untrusted cogs in a wheel, and metricising performance

And not just in academia. Technology has allowed the collection of metrics and data to a degree unheard of previously, and it takes wisdom and restraint to know when they do more harm than good.

Unfortunately, I think the idea of collecting metrics and doing data-driven evaluation of people's performance has being one of those "No one ever got fired for buying IBM" things. It gets done unthinkingly because it's safe "conventional wisdom" regardless if it's the right call or not.
That's true, but underscores how treacherous comparisons between big companies based on market caps are. By every metric other than investor confidence in a single narrative (except maybe R&D spending?), Ford dwarfs Tesla and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

I don't think anyone has any trouble telling a story in which Tesla is ultimately a more valuable company than Ford. And I agree that's a big deal. But this comment thread suggests the market cap comparison is some kind of milestone. It's hard to articulate what that milestone would be.
Tesla is potentially a trillion dollar company and it's biggest current hurdle is getting it's production up to meet an enormous demand. The reason it's trading at a higher market cap is because Ford doesn't have any growth potential and Tesla is still trading at a fraction of what it could be. Of course there is still a ton of risk factors for them, but expected value for investing should be based on the chance of success * potential future value over a variety of possible outcomes.

SEEKING WORK (Dublin, Ireland / Remote) - shane@curran.ie

I'm a full-stack software developer/web developer mainly working in Node.js, but with experience in PHP, Python, NoSQL, Redis and Docker. I've been involved in projects in areas from FinTech to Risk Analysis as well as business SaaS tools. I've built high-scale distributed systems in the past and am looking for exciting projects with huge potential.

Some of my past areas of work include:

- Cyber Security
- Post-Quantum Cryptography (you need this before it's too late!)
- Neural Networks
- Machine Learning
- Banking Systems
- Financial Modelling
- Quantitative Analysis
- Brand Web Presence

LinkedIn: https://ie.linkedin.com/in/shanemcurran
Considering they do not allow Vulkan on OSX when there is hardware that supports it about zero.
Possible but given the way mobile hardware works I wouldn't hold your breath.

They won't want devs to miss out on hardware features because the Vulkan abstraction (by its nature, cross platform) is missing a feature.

So it may happen but I'd imagine only after a strong native toolkit exists already
Y Combinator (yes, the people who run this site) is hiring hackers | San Francisco | Onsite | Fulltime

Y Combinator has a very big vision. This recent article talks about our plans to build a 21st century university: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/10/sam-altmans-man...

Here's a secret most people don't know: software is at the core of our plans for how to do this.

We're looking for a couple of great hackers to join a small team in San Francisco. It's not a job for everyone, but it would be a good fit for someone who loves startups. Working at YC, you won't just write code, you'll be involved in everything YC does, from our dinner talks to demo day.

Here's an example of something interesting we built recently: http://themacro.com/articles/2016/08/investor-day-software/

If you're a hacker, send us a note here: http://bit.ly/1Od0T2l. You can also email me with questions: jared@ycombinator.com
"Perhaps you won't, but since we don't know yet exactly what you'll be working on, we might know broadly what PA or even project, but we can't know what problems you will encounter or what direction it will take to debug any problems that arise, we want someone with a broad base of skills who can at the very least recognize performance problems and solve them in a simple case. We expect that if you can solve this relatively simple problem in an environment with no resources, that with the aide of documentation, profiling tools, and teammates to lean on, you'll be able to address much more complex issues that arise. On the other hand, if it takes you documentation and teammates to solve this simple case, who knows what kinds of tools it will take you to solve real world problems that arise."

"Correlation does not imply causation" doesn't imply that correlation never implies causation.

Android was not an established player either though. So we had a situation where new entrants like Apple and Google both destroyed the established players like Nokia, Black Berry, Windows Phone, Siemens, Sony-Ericcson etc.

There might very well be another electric car maker upending the market, but really I think Tesla has quite a number of years head start now. Building and planning something like the Giga factory took many years. A competitor will not be able to reproduce that in a couple of years.

Tesla also sits with years of experience designing batteries now. They have a competency advantage over the established players who mainly know how to make a fossils fuel engine. Each year passing that becomes useless and dead knowledge. They also lack the software development skills of Tesla. They have mostly bought that from vendors. Tesla thus sits with expertise in the key areas for the future of automobile while the competition is very weak in these areas.

I predict a bloodbath. 10 years from now I think Tesla will be quite big and the established players struggling hard to hang on.
> fjord Hvalsey, which means “Whale Island”

Is this a correct translation? I thought fjord meant inlet.
> perhaps now is the time for us to begin holding Google to the same standard we applied to Microsoft a decade ago.

The triggering factor for this was the worms though. No such similar thing exists in the Android space.
> in crisis" is the end state of a pathology

No, things can be pathological indefinitely. I'm not disputing pathology. Rather, no one has justified "crisis", i.e., some reason to think there will be abrupt change, or will not continue to produce as expected.

> surely I'm allowed to criticize and highlight social issues without having a "preferred fix"

I'm not saying that, I'm saying that it doesn't make sense to discuss academia specifically if one's comments apply to a million other fields. This applies to fixes or to just analysis of the pathology.
> Over the last five years, Ford has posted net income totaling $26 billion, while Tesla has lost $2.3 billion.

Ford: "We have no idea how to invest this money. I guess let's just put it in the bank."

Tesla: "We have so many idea for investments, we're only constrained by cash. Let's go back to the capital markets!"
Good reminder for developers to never treat a name or name/birthdate combo as a reliable primary key.

Thing is though that is proprietary to Google, anyone wanting to use AOSP for their own has to clone the APIs.

This makes a lie of the whole notion that Android is open source. Yes, the skeleton is open, but the guts are proprietary. And the skeleton on its own is useless.
Stagefright is trivially weaponizable as an MMS worm, in fact it may already have happened
Can someone more knowledgeable explain how is that even possible?
Doesn't this mean that the market predicts that Tesla's future earning after discount and after taking risks into account is higher than Ford's? Under which data? Or am I missing something?
I think your link might be broken, it leads to a page that says "Sorry, but we can't find that page."
Ford has dozens of production facilities across every continent on earth producing millions of vehicles a year. How can Tesla possibly be more valuable?
> I don't mean to exculpate the Rs or go "ruh ruh whatabout those bad Democrats".

Well... good. It did read a bit that way however. But you know, tone, text, internet, etc
Can't really comment on this as I know no such people. The "consulting" companies part is hard to believe given the rules for GSoC. The new payment adjustment taking into account PPP is a welcome move in this regard even though I don't agree on the numbers they have decided.
They have already decided to go for their own API, Metal.
I also love it to the point of having it installed even when I have access to Word.

My reason is because I find it much better to clean up other peoples weird formatting (yep, seems some people don't use styles. Or use styles and then go over and fix every heading manually or something.)

I totally agree, plea deals are effectively a punishment for invoking your right to a trial. People should absolutely be allowed to plead guilty, but they shouldn't be rewarded for it.

The only argument I've seen for plea deals is that they save time and money. Which I'm sure is true, but is that really sufficient reason to mess with people's right to a trial?
Intact Design (https://intact.design/) | Berkeley, CA; Madison, WI | Full-time; INTERN | Onsite

We're building a finite element analysis API on the web. Think of it like continuous integration, but for mechanical engineers. We're looking for software engineers with interest in computational geometry/geometric processing, computational physics/engineering, and building beautifully elegant user experiences for complicated technical software.

Our stack: * C++ for performance-critical finite element code * Ruby on Rails for server code * React + Three.js + regl on the frontend

Our competitive advantage comes from a combination of software architecture innovation and a super accessible user experience, so we need people who value these two pillars of their craft.

and... this is how bubbles happen. Investors and fans say "but, but my stock isn't overvalued! Mine is the exception, its everyone else who is in the bubble!"

There's no sane scenario where a car company that sells cars in the tens of thousands over-values a car company that sells cars in the millions.
If I actually trusted the derivative counterparties to remain solvent, I'd reopen a trading to put a long short strategy on this. Everybody seems so have missed the glaring fact that the electric transport isn't going to go anywhere; the lucky ones will have good bi/tricycles, or horse/mules and cart. Motorized transport wasn't a product of humanity's sheer desire for it! It was only caused by the incomparably immense oversupply of energy from fossil fuels, which was a one-off. We can just pray that the transition won't destroy us. Electric lights and computer networks would be nice to salvage out of it. Did you think you'd never use a 100mhz CPU again? The suckless guys have the right idea; we need more efficiency and standardization, not bigger frameworks running on faster chips. I want a 500mW workstation with relatively fast e-ink like display. I'd sell billions of em. Sell your (e)cars, buy yourselves nice bicycles. You won't regret it.

> Companies seek to be viable in the future.

Companies seek to outperform themselves relative to the last quarter and year. Long term strategy like this takes a backseat, if it gets attention at all. It certainly doesn't get the luxury of a whole company pivot that could tank short term value.

Need proof? Look at all of the American companies that got caught with their pants down shipping nothing but bigger SUVs when the price of oil shot up back in 2008.
The use of self-service in supermarkets is pretty patchy though. Once you get beyond barcoded items, it's a PITA. And it's not even a great experience for a cartful of barcoded items. Around where I live, other than a Walmart Superstore, there's not a single grocery store that uses self-service. One chain even put it in and then took it out.

Personally, I'd probably go out of my way to avoid a chain with self-service given the option.

Oddly, it's the big box home improvement stores that are the biggest self-service retail users around where I live. Even though many items you buy there are at equally bad for self-service as grocery stores.

How software engineer should invest in career growth
Your typical interviewer, if he or she does not have relevant knowledge is just as likely to throw out the baby with the bathwater as they are to select the right candidates. There is no reason not to have the team do the pre-selection. I know this is all terrible news for recruiters and HR people alike but really there is nobody better qualified to determine who they want to work with on a particular problem than the existing team. The only situation where you would be better off with other people making that decision is when there is no team yet.

One thing I used to totally loathe during my brief stint as a programmer employed at a large organization is that when new people showed up that were already hired it was then up to us on the floor to make the best of a whole series of bad decisions preceding that moment.

So, let's involve the team in the messaging and pre-selection as well as giving them the final say.

Think about it this way: if you believe that the team you employ is the best possible group to do the work, don't you feel they are also the best possible group to determine how to expand the group?

Fjiord means firth (sea bay, strait, inlet, maybe even sound, etc.)

Fixed misspelling of strait.
I usually seed dev and test databases with fake data. Emails are usually a sequence like userN@example.com
Sending mail to that is usually not a problem, unless the content of the mail is somewhat sensitive. Again, fake data helps. When I work with Ruby I use the faker gem.

If you have to import production data then, yes, that would be annoying. Anonimizing data sometimes is not easy.
I don't really know about the gigafactory, but it seems logic that a % of it is dedicated to R&D and growth. Plus, this battery tech doesn't create itself, if I remember reading correctly Tesla is making some advancements in here as well.

When that change comes the other players will have the problem that they too will need to build some sort of Gigafactory. There is no way they can do a rushed attack against Tesla on this. These guys are slow movers not willing to take big risks. When this battery technology switch happens I am pretty sure Tesla will actually be the first to move. They will have more experience with large scale battery production than the competition.

It isn't just about cells but putting them together and designing a whole battery, with cooling and everything. Tesla knows very well how to do this. The competition doesn't.

I once heard this theory: that companies release a free product in another area (subsidized by their core business) in order to interfere with the monopoly of another company. For instance Google makes their money in search ads and has a free office suite and operating system. Microsoft makes their money from their office suite and OS, and undercuts google with Bing. Bing/Google Docs never really have to be #1, they just has to take enough market share that the other company can't ignore it when it comes to pricing.
