Connexity | Santa Monica, CA or Camarillo, CA | Full-Time | Onsite

Join a small, tightly-knit Data Science team as we transform our data assets into valuable business products. Although this group of 4 has a great deal of industry experience, we've only worked together in this capacity for about a year. This means that there's still a lot of opportunity and green-field work ahead of us. The position could be described as a Sr. Data Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer. We work with billions of records per day and small hundreds of thousands of (messy!) features. We primarily use Scala/Spark and Python, but we employ R, Ruby, plain old SQL and other tools on a regular basis.

We'd like to find someone familiar with Bayesian systems, Random Forest and other classification. Experience in ad-tech, e-commerce or online retail is a plus, but we strongly favor hiring someone with the right qualities that transcend mere familiarity.

More than anything we value sound judgement. It's great if you have loads of tools in in your tool belt, but you really have to know when it makes sense to use them.

As you get involved with research or optimization work, we want to have confidence that you'll have the right intuition about what questions to pursue and what questions to defer. With our high transaction volume, hundreds of unique models in production and hundreds of thousands of potential features, discernment is an essential virtue. We'll always have 5x more questions and curiosities than we'll have time to chase down. We're looking for that person whose judgement is guided by experience possesses a knack for uncovering valuable, actionable insights.

Within our team I lean strongly toward the engineering side of the spectrum, but I'd be happy to have a conversation about our work. = dlarsen@connexity.com If you're more comfortable going the typical HR route, I can probably streamline the first phases of communication.
And here is one reason why I'm busy trying to get people to abandon Whatsapp.

I don't want to support this company. I don't want them to have tons of metadata including a list of everyone I talk to.

I definitely don't want them to track my kids.

So I hold my nose and say "try Telegram".
I'm having fun, I finally have an excuse to dust off my Libreboot X200 (refurbished and modded Thinkpad with Libreboot firmware).

However, I strongly disrecommend buying from Leah Rowe unless you enjoy waiting months for payment confirmation and delivery. The worst webshop experience I've ever had.

I recommend you build/flash your own, contract it out or look for a different vendor.

Helmet use is mandatory for adults here in Seattle. I don't know how common such laws are in other areas.

I haven't had a bicycle since the law was introduced - not because of the law, specifically, but I feel grouchy about the idea of being forced to wear a helmet while doing nothing more dramatic than tootling around my neighborhood, and the law has therefore helped reduce my enthusiasm for bicycling generally.

I agree. Nobody is considering the problems an FCC-regulated internet brings to the table. With the exception of the telegram and cinema (those controlled by Western Union and Hollywood), the feds regulate the telephone, radio, and television. The internet is just the latest thing government bureaucrats want control over.

> With the fate of a major Internet policy in the balance, Pai's proposal may lend momentum to U.S. lawmakers who have proposed replacing the current FCC rules with congressional legislation. Republican members of Congress have said they are ready to craft a bill that enshrines some of the existing regulations permanently into law. But that effort is expected to stall without support from Democrats, such as Sens. Edward J. Markey (Mass.) and Ron Wyden (Ore.) who argue the FCC can and should regulate ISPs more heavily. [1]

In regards to Facebook, Twitter, etc. creating their own modern walled gardens, let them. They'll soon see the demise that others have, 10-20 years ago.

What does it matter what the average person thinks? Are they making database/language decisions for your product?

You can argue that potential managers might be influenced but it should be easy enough to put the merits of the product before the name itself.

We're not talking about programming; we're talking about math; that's the whole point.
So it's not really that predictable
I'd bet nobody at SpaceX knows what it actually does even though they might take a good guess based on the orbit.
pg has a good take on this in his addiction essay: http://www.paulgraham.com/addiction.html

"We'll have to worry not just about new things, but also about existing things becoming more addictive. That's what bit me. I've avoided most addictions, but the Internet got me because it became addictive while I was using it."
Indeed, but when I read that a Keg is an "installation prefix" and a Bottle is a "Pre-built Keg" I give up.
Yes, I believe the "consent" is judged to have been given if a party continues the call after being informed that it is not a private, unrecorded call. So if one party announces that it's recording the call, all parties who continue the call (including the recording party) have supposedly consented to that breach of privacy.

It's probably also not that unusual for Yelp to call a business that plays this announcements to its incoming callers, and actually records them. I can only guess that we haven't seen this evidence because the offended business might have preferred to settle things in private.
So you're arguing Google is better then the alternative smaller search provider that would likely exist in its absence? If so I agree with you. My point is in support of the idea that engineers at Facebook and Google have a false sense of altruism towards their employer. I wanted to dispute the idea that Google's work is so important that they are excused of the largest role they play in our society: as data miners.
Yes, this is a major issue in copyright law. In practice, there is no distinction between the patent-eligible invention (the machine) and the copyright-eligible "creative work" (the manual, or the code, in this case).

That means that copyrights can be exerted in very menacing ways, like requiring users to bypass a copy protection mechanism in order to do required maintenance, as John Deere has done. That enables John Deere to pursue anyone who doesn't use an official dealer for maintenance under the DMCA's measures criminalizing the circumvention of copy protections.

Disclaimer: Not a lawyer, probably wrong.
I've never worried about it. I just

Yeah, there's nothing like a nice espresso mid or post long bike ride on a hot summer day. It's so cliche but it's one of my favorite things.
There were few questions about the experience. Though job description has quite a bit of experience mentioned, we are open in considering a good candidate with relevant skill set.
So what's up with Rust then? Sorry for noob questions but is it:

1) Ownership model means RC only needs to be used rarely in Rust, and ARC even less, minimizing the throughput impact?

2) Simplicity benefits were overwhelming considering the targets you were aiming for?

Or something else?
> How do you "support a format"? AFAIK nothing will convince Apple to release music in a better (patent-free) codec, much less convince others to dump DRM.

Then you start by not giving them your money. It's a uphill battle, but someone has to fight the good fight instead of just throwing their hands-up.
Seems like it could be a risk to the GCP/AWSs of the world.
PNG ended up being supported better than Vorbis/Opus though.

You're already living in a world that's run by the top 10 companies/websites you visit.

There's nothing inherently different between the downsides of monopolies or oligopolistic cartels as far as the consumer is concerned.

In other words, what's the real difference if it's Google + Facebook or Google + Amazon or Facebook + Amazon?
My recollection matches yours. I remember loading a custom firmware on my iPod, around 2005. Vorbis support was a big new feature; they'd just figured out how to get decode working fast enough on its 80MHz ARM7 CPU.
Follow-up: Since it seems all the code is open-source, is it possible for me to run this service on my own server (or at least in my own AWS setup)?
Sure, but the moment you have to do anything slightly non-standard you get stuck in jargon land
I was waiting for someone to link the DAO here. Yes, I completely get faulty EVM code (Solidity code) and bad economic models can lead to forks and all kind of other issues. However, our claim that DNN "can't be hacked" relates solely to the immutability of the blockchain. There has yet to be any substantiated claims that the blockchain itself is faulty, at least enough to serve as the demise of Bitcoin and Ethereum networks. "Can't be hacked" in the context of DNN, means articles published cannot be modified. Secondly, since we are on the topic of the DAO, at the end of the day, the failure of DAO had more to do with horribly written smart contract code and less to do with the blockchain itself.

If you don't believe me, read it from Vitalik Buterin himself:

Yay more words and concepts to add to my cognitive load. We already have established terms for these things but why use package and repository when you can invent tableturd and puddlecuddle?

When it comes to UI it sometimes feels like programmers go out of their way, to make software get in mine.

I'll take it, but I'll keep rolling my eyes and sighing. -.-
The tools they listed are windows executables.

Am I vulnerable to this on a Linux System? If so, any way to assess vulnerability, and patch things?

GetButik | PHP-Engineer, Sysadmin | Zurich, Switzerland | Salary:90k-120k CHF | ONSITE

We are www.getbutik.com, a integrated e-commerce solution with a point-of-sales written in iOS.

Our tech-lead left Zurich to start his own company in the Bay Area. He still supports us keeping up the infrastructure that he build.

We run on Php and a LAMP stack. We can deploy in one step and our clients love our integrated solution (POS + webshop + ERP for smaller businesses).

We need to hire

1) A sysadmin

2) A Php developer to maintain the existing (clean) code and build new features.

Our interview process looks like this:

1) Mail to our tech-recruiter at

iwan-hn@getbutik.tech

with:

A project and description you're most proud of

OR

Your github with some Php / Sysadmin-related (bash?) code

OR

Cover letter why you are awesome

OR

Video why you're aweomse

2) Phone interview with the founders

3) Onsite for half a day where we show you our stack
Now, this is handy!
IMO there is a significant (i.e. orders of magnitude) difference between these two examples.
I think it might suffer from confirmation bias. Say Dropbox started in Milwaukee, WI, but was convinced they needed to move to San Fransisco to be successful. Maybe they would have been successful in Milwaukee, too, but now we'll never know. So now they're contributing to the startup successes that come from SV, but that doesn't necessarily mean that SF was what made them successful. Maybe the reason the parent thinks Boston's startup scene is dying is because people who create startups are leaving to move to SF because they think they have to.

According to WalletHub, SF rates pretty darn far down the list of best places to start a business: https://wallethub.com/edu/best-cities-to-start-a-business/22...

Maybe the number of success stories coming from SF has more to do with the sheer number of businesses that are started there? If 100 businesses are started in SF and only 5 in Tulsa, even if only 10 of the startups survive in SF while all 5 survive in Tulsa, people would still say "SF has twice the number of successful startups" even though 100% succeeded in Tulsa vs just 10% in SF.
If the prison system actually focused on reform, perhaps history and this algorithm would be a largely trailing indicator of repeat offense
You are arguing against a strawman. I have never seen any piece of mathematics that was just formulas. The heavy majority of any mathematical writing is plain text -- formulas and notation are only used when it would be much less practical to express something in text.
CockroachDB is an exciting development and we fit right into the underserved use-case of multi-regional databases. If it had JSON columns we would put it into production today.

Google's Spanner is pretty great too but also missing any json columns and too locked into GCP. We're also looking at using a JanusGraph on top of ScyllaDB to get better querying ability with strong multi-region access.

People who have studied electrical engineering may recognize the word "dual" with the prototypical example in electrical networks: Norton vs. Thevenin. Both are equivalent but from coming from opposite ends. A current source in parallel with a resistor (Norton) is electrically equivalent to a voltage source in series with a resistor (Thevenin).

They could, and probably should, but then we run into the possibility of a zero sum game. First, that is pretty much all of the countries which produce our consumer goods, and might I add, buy our debt. Second, the CEOs of those companies are going to get really pissed if their products go up in price. So they'll retaliate politically, but also pressure the other country to raise its tariffs on our exports.

Speaking policy only, an option to take is to make it cheaper overall for companies to manufacture here. Define a set of industries you want back in America, and reduce or eliminate their corporate income tax based on a certain number of employees and plants. Then even with the environmental and labor laws in place, they'll still see it's more economically feasible to return.

Any idea why they have to charge $.01 per trip?

My wife uses the unlimited flat fare package in south bay, 2.99 per pool ride or 7 per uberX ride (with caveats that apply rarely).
You're asking how modular your system should be. That's like asking whether a 20-line function should be split in two. It depends. Is the code easy to understand?
I don't disagree but that's not the point - the point is there is room for improvement, particularly at large organizations (which still have the most impact on the world).

Even at startups - the incentives are such that oftentimes user privacy is compromised. The economic model of ads supporting software is profitable but is it really the way we want to work?

Unfortunately we may be too far down this road. People don't generally want/expect to pay for software. I think this is limiting and troublesome in the long term.
