Mensch Labs | Product Engineer | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite preferred | http://rep.ai/

We are a small team (6) building tools to change the way businesses communicate with customers. Our product, Rep, combines customer context, machine learning, and a slick app that enables organizations to build meaningful relationships through mobile and desktop messaging.

We're actively looking for builders — folks that want to contribute more than code. Your specialization is less important than your desire and ability to learn fast and adapt to shifting technologies.

We're founded by ex-Googlers with deep experience in messaging, personalization, and machine learning, and we're backed by some of the top investors in Silicon Valley: Accel Partners, First Round Capital, SV Angel, and Forerunner Ventures.

We offer competitive salaries, meaningful equity and generous health, dental and vision benefits. If you are a member of an underrepresented group in technology, we strongly encourage you to apply.

Technologies: Python, Postgres, WebSockets, React, Redux, ML, etc.

Drop us a note at hi@menschlabs.com with a link to your LinkedIn, a resume, or anything else we should know. We’ll get back to you quickly!

p.s. I love working here. The team is smart and talented but also deeply good, respectful, and empathetic.

Yes, that's how it actually works. You have rights to some piece of land, I have rights to another, we don't step on each other's toes, and if we don't like the split, there are blood-free procedures to resolve disputes. More importantly, neither of us has to invest in clubs and constant vigilance, because we've outsourced that job. So we all save time, resources and effort.

It's not perfect, but it's a useful tool in our toolbox for building societies.

At PROTAGONIST we're building the analytical tools for the post-factual world! We know that this is not necessarily a new world, as propaganda has always been around, but the sheer scale and reach of it in the digital era calls for a drastically new approach. PROTAGONIST is a such approach.

Even though we believe in facts and their validity over non-facts, we don't believe detecting real vs. fake news is the key to understanding the post-factual world. Instead, we're much more interested in people's _beliefs_ regardless of whether or not those beliefs are true. We think people are guided by what they believe to be true, not necessarily by what is objectively true.
To that end we have built PROTAGONIST, a machine-learning-powered analytical engine that takes a novel approach to computational linguistics and natural language processing. We have proprietary algorithms that can detect various patterns of subjective language that is indicative of an underlying belief. We call these NARRATIVE patterns and are convinced they hold the key to "mining for beliefs" in the vast and wild media jungle.

Interested to hear more? Wanna come work with us in uncovering the new frontiers of NLP and Narrative Analytics? Check out the open positions at: http://protagonist.io/careers/

We have two locations: San Francisco, CA and Washington, DC

Keywords: linguist, full stack, backend, Python, language, fake news, narratives, beliefs.
k, along with j, is also often an index.

Of course, this mathematical convention carried over into programming as well, with i,j, and k serving as index variables.

They're aware of pre-tax passes — but UberPOOL prices are generally within a dollar per-trip, so they'd rather pay that premium to save the time and hassle involved with public transit.

Bridj was also slightly more expensive than public transit, and still had many of the downsides.

So for ~$850, after 'hackintoshing' this computer, I get:

The difference is that Apple could do anything to accidentally or intentionally break future updates. It would be in their right to do so, since it is illegal to run macOS on non-Apple hardware [1].

I bought a 2016 MBP for 1480 Euro (after the educational discount) and it will always work without a hassle. I don't have to worry if the latest minor release that also has security fixes breaks anything. That, plus Apple's great support (had to use it twice in 10 years and in both cases I had new or fixed hardware within 2 hours) is worth the extra cost to me.

An additional factor is that Apple hardware is often less expensive mid/long-term. I now buy a new MacBook every 1.5 years or so, my wife gets my current MacBook, and we sell her old one for 800-1000 Euro. So, we both have state-of-the-art MacBooks for ~400 per 1.5 year, or 133 Euro per year per person. There is a store across the street from my office where they sell second hand Dells and Lenovos. Three year old models go for around 300 Euro. So the resale value on other laptops is pretty bad.

Of course, I can understand that when you are on a tight budget, a Hackintosh can be attractive :^). When I was a student, I started with a Hackintosh. But after a month I realised it was easier to get a reasonably-priced Mac Mini ;).

[1] I also find it quite risky, unless you verify the Clover + custom kext source code and compile them yourself.
As an alternative reason or explanation for why taxing "land" instead of property built on the land:

The idea is to tax based on the //potential// value of the area to society, so that realizing that value to society is incentivezed. I suspect a real application of this would examine the difference in value to society and apply more 'incentive' (tax proportionally more of the missing value) the further from actual value to society a piece of land is.
Believe it in proportion to the supporting evidence presented. At the moment, that's nothing except an appeal to the widespread belief that an Intel ME security flaw is inevitable.

Exactly. When I heard the first accusations against Bill Cosby, I was skeptical. I thought "innocent until proven guilty". But then after accuser number 50 came around, I find the accusations very likely true. Even though there is no hard proof.

Without proof you may still be innocent in the eyes of the law, but if I was a young lady, I sure wouldn't be anywhere around him alone.

Thistle delivers delicious, organic and healthy meals as a subscription - "put your diet on autopilot". We're an early-stage, rapidly growing health & wellness startup in the Bay Area.

We're hiring software engineers (senior and junior; we're good about on-the-job training) for:

- Building our consumer website, with a focus on helping customers understand all the nutrition and health benefits in their meals.

- Kitchen/Ops infrastructure for designing, preparing and delivering thousands of meals in a day.

- Growth: Experiment with new user acquisition and engagement strategies.

I'm also a software engineer here - I actually joined Thistle after reaching out from an earlier HN Hiring thread. It works!

Our stack is Python/Django on the backend, some Javascript on the frontend, (forthcoming) app in React Native. Experience with those technologies is a plus but not required - if you're a fast learner we will be just as interested in what you like to eat for lunch.

Interview: phone screen, then visit HQ to try the food and discuss/pair program with our codebase. No brainteasers.

Apply at https://jobs.lever.co/thistle.co/4a7a1753-162c-4dae-87b7-b10... and if you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to email me <rodney> AT <thistle>.<co>. Please, no recruiters or agencies!

My guess for what they mean (not making judgments or asserting these as fact) would be something like:

1. The risky return-focused investment money is still going into housing, despite the 2008 great recession. ("It can't happen twice, right?")

2. A significant portion of that wealth is actually from "non-gambler" savings, and "should" be more conservatively held.

3. Glass-Steagall would help do that, with the side-effect of making housing more broadly affordable for people who need the direct utility of the house.

Random question here. How long does it take you to walk 10k steps?

I've fallen out of the habit lately, but I was hitting the 10k target for a while. I have a sedentary desk job. So chores and playing with my kid got me up to about 3k. Then I'd walk for an hour during lunch to get another ~7k steps. Walking for an hour every day is fairly substantial commitment. I mean, it felt worth it. As you said, it's a huge productivity boost. I'm probably more productive walking 1 hour and working 7, rather than working a sedentary 8. It's not always easy to make that time in your day though.

I added the backstory, because I'm not questioning the value of the habit. I'm just always curious how much time people are devoting to walking when they talk about 10k steps.
No, that's not how sources work. You don't get to use your assumption that the article is accurate to assert that it will eventually be proven accurate by other sources. That's circular reasoning.
What on earth are you talking about? The definition of "lambda" is "anonymous function." Naming is orthogonal to closures, yes, but it's the entire difference between a lambda and any other kind of function. A lambda can close over state or not, it doesn't matter. It just needs to not have a name. So if naming is orthogonal to closures, then lambdas are orthogonal to closures, and then it makes no sense to compare them.
I would think a class-action would be effective. He said/she said is tough, but everyone said/Yelp said becomes a different story.
The author got the gist of dependent types wrong. It's not simply about checks. Dependently typed languages allow the result type to explicitly depend on the input data.

Thus, a dependently typed database would allow one columns type to depend on the value of another column.

It would be like saying

Create table dep ( name text, fieldType int not null, fieldValue (if fieldType = 1 then int else varchar))

Notice the 'if' in the type of fieldValue

That's called profile-guided optimisation and most good optimising compilers do it. Not a particularly good example, however the JVM can do it in a slightly different way because doing PGO on every build/test or in the wild is prohibitively annoying (e.g. The JVM can do it for each time it runs, rather than when the compiler is told to)
Naming is hard, no question. Context helps, though. In realm where I live, computer science, x, y, and z likely correspond to something in the problem domain, like "rate" or "time". And even if we're dealing in pure, as opposed to applied, math, you should still be able to come up with names like "surfaceArea" or "interval".
To me the most interesting part is that Mill has attracted a quite amazing amount of supportive interest from people who are talented, experienced and knowledgeable. Essentially a who's who of comp.arch...

I've always wondering why nobody seems to notice the fact that this site is literally called "Semi Accurate". I mean sure, everyone makes mistake and even the most credible news sources are not entirely accurate all the time. But what am I to think when your organization is literally named after being only half truthful?
> The languages I am calling modern are not particularly new; in fact, Python is more than 25 years old. But they are not yet widely taught in high schools and colleges.
