Quora | ML Engineer | Mountain View ML, Python, C++, TensorFlow, Spark, Information Retrieval

Quora’s mission is to share and grow the world’s knowledge. We are an internet-scale Library of Alexandria, a place where people go to learn about anything and share everything they know.
At Quora, we use Machine Learning in almost every part of the product - feed ranking, answer ranking, search, topic and user recommendations, spam detection etc. Within the past few months we released a large duplicate question dataset [1], built out Quora on Alexa and Google Home [2] and linked Quora Topics to Wikidata [3].
As a Machine Learning expert, you will have a unique opportunity to have high impact by advancing these systems, as well as uncovering new opportunities to apply Machine Learning to the Quora product. As a ML Infrastructure Expert, you will play a key role in developing tools and abstractions that our other developers would build on top of.

Oh, come on man, the academics should would for kudos. /s
Right. There are no dipolar gravity oscillation because of conservation of momentum, thus the waves must be quadrupolar.

Didn't think about that before.
One thing about Index trackers is that the research and all the hype is largely about S&P500 and the US stock market. Europe wide indices are more complex and I haven't seen as much research. EuroStoxx 50 is very bank heavy and only has 50 stocks, the 600 is wider but not so popular. There is more of a case to buy active funds in Europe.

For tax specific stuff you should look at your regional sites eg

> * I want to be able to simulate GR.
> * I want to understand QFT

With the current technology, assuming standard model of particle physics (which is QFT) is the first-principle, simulating atoms would take trillions of the age of the universe, let alone molecules, or any effect of GR.
Yup. As it happens a not insignificant amount of my lecturers are from Post-Soviet states, including the course director.

Do you know who Nils Bohlin was? If not, I guess you don't need three point seat belts in your car. Maybe I'm being facetious, but this seems to me about as on point as your comment – which is to say not at all.

Of course I can enjoy the benefits of a smartphone, even need them, regardless of whether or not I know who someone is.
Please try now, I think we fixed it.
Technology development does directly affect trajectory of where the humanity go as the whole. Yes.

But I think that HN shall be the place where we can discuss how AI moves us from post-industrial to post-human world for example rather than particular fluctuations of the trajectory (a.k.a. realpolitik).
Then naturally, as soon as I try to sign up for it, I get told "Contributor is not yet available in your country" as it seems to be US-only at the moment.

That's okay, uBlock Origin with its whitelist I compiled with sites I know won't violate my browser with ads is still available in my country.
SPY has a higher expense ratio at 0.09%, so for long term holding VOO is slightly better. The difference is tiny though
There are plenty of business in NYC that would be very happy to have an affordable lease on that street for even 6 months.

Only big slow companies want long leases, and only big companies can afford the bloated rent. I don't agree that the root issues is the duration of the lease.
Push for single payer healthcare. Most developed countries have this, and it works massively better than US system.

Fight for continued existence of Social Security.
If you follow through the implications of this, it's horribly dystopian. Every country in the world needs to be on board. No innovation in form factor is possible (you'd need to persuade every country to carry your battery). No diversity either (the system becomes unworkable with more than a few types of battery).

But why stop there? We should all just use identical, world-government-approved standard laptops and copy the data around, Chromebook-style. Neatly solves the pesky "people carrying their own data" problem too, by forcing it onto the network where it can be safely monitored and policed.

> Any payments to avoid ads served by these companies would require compensating all of these companies

I think you misunderstood how this iteration of Contributor would work; the publisher integrates Google's contributor code in such a way that if you pay them, they don't show you any ads, no need to worry about the ad ecosystem.

> People want to maintain their privacy

I will start believing this when people start acting like it rather than just saying it. I would be surprised if the group of people who care enough about their privacy to do anything about it is above 1% of internet users in the US.

> It's easy to envision a system utilizing a crypto currency and a digital wallet held by your browser

Brave is really killing it with their user numbers, right?
You can't add more data once you've truncated.
This book is fantastic! It's Spivak so it doesn't sacrifice prose for precision, and it does more than teach physics from a mathematical point of view. It also illustrates the massive gap between theoretical physics and experimental physics-- why physics is so hard. An early example in the book is trying to calculate the way a chain hanging off an edge falls: Several pages of investigation reveal how devilishly hard it is to apply the theory to a particular problem-- even demonstrating that a popular physics book gets the problem wrong and the best guide for how to analyze it correctly is experiment.

I hope there's a sequel!
> They're always shown as tall and skinny, but that's ridiculous, they'd be unstable.

I think icebergs are inherently unstable, that's why they're icebergs in the first place. They do also flip (see OP!). Tall skinny things are also not a bad way to go in the ocean, that's how some deep sea oil drilling platforms work[1]. Or something like the RP Flip[2].

That doesn't follow at all and isn't implied by the above model.
<meta> I long for the time where HN will not allow the same contributor to respond infinitely to the same thread. If you couldn't get your point across after 4 messages, maybe it's a sign that you shouldn't try just one more time.

You were already given several times the same reasonable explanation. It looks like GoL, and if the architects had said "we used 'rule 30'", absolutely no one would have had a clue what they are talking about. By saying they were inspired by GoL, at least a few people will think 'I vaguely heard of that, it's cool'. It's called pedagogy. Sometimes, being 100% accurate is not helpful.

Not sure why annabellish's comment is dead. It's not wrong. One of the Darknet markets raised their min product price to $3 because of the transaction fee problem.
The game I play most is Starcraft 2.

It's really hard to get "good" (I've played on and off for 2-3 years and still don't feel competent!) but the matchmaking is good enough that you win about 50% of games.

I like that it's 1v1, so when you win or lose, it's usually completely your own doing.

I also like that you pay once and are on a level playing field with everyone else. All of the in-game purchases are purely cosmetic. I played Hearthstone for quite a while but eventually totaled up the amount I spent on it and promptly quit!
Yeah or bogleheads. There's no shortage of information on this topic, you just have to be willing to read it instead of overpaying some financial advisor.
That's because spreadsheets are an excellent tool for prototyping, and developers have shitty tools for building robust products from a prototype.

If developers had a quick way to create properly engineered applications from a working workflow involving a spreadsheet, it would be easy to define most company processes on Excel or Google Docs and turn them into solid software.

But building an application that is functionally equal to the spreadsheet, just with robust engineering practices, typically involves several-months-long projects with many developers and managers, which is expensive.

I fear, you are right.

Every time, I speak out for the truth on HN, I am down voted continuously, only half-hearted tech-blabla is suffered here.

What adds up hat HN: Any discussion about important future stuff is instantly penalized by the system here. I really regret to have registered at all.

Just doing geek-stuff and enjoying the live as techie is just to hollow for me. It really makes me sad.

even assuming 100% buy-in for content providers for google pass as an ad replacement, it doesn't replace all the use cases of a decent ad-blocker (like ublock origin). For me, I block newrelic, google analytics, segment, and a whole bunch of non-advertising related sites that slow down the web. Doing this more than halves the load time and download requirements of just about any major site.
>when this is suggested, Guido has a cow.

Like what?

My first reaction is to think "and he's [probably] right!"

Python's added value is it's very rich and flexible object model. Imposing restrictions on the object model is robbing Peter to pay Paul in an environment where Peter is more important, albeit for historical reasons.

Yet another option, if you are experienced with other languages and want to learn JS: Javascript Enlightenment [1].

It only focuses on the concepts that make Javascript different from (let's say) Java.

Maybe better tools like "Dialogue Mapping" with IBIS (identifying Questions, Answers, Pros & Cons on a shared display as a conversation proceeds) can help solve the issue of constructive participation by all parties? For a start, see Jeff Conklin's book on: "Dialogue Mapping: Building Shared Understanding of Wicked Problems".
It's hard to fault them for this tendency–they have seen too often that complete openness tends to be risky, without rewards. They're reacting to the incentives the public sets.

One very small thing I'm trying to do is to speak up against unreasonable criticism when it's coming from "my side". That could be conspiracy theories (although the left is somewhat laking in those), or just the silliness of making a big deal out of some misspelled tweets by Trump.

It's much more effective, especially if people know I'm "on their side". I also hope that it could create a "culture of good faith", where politicians could be less afraid of their statements being taken out of context, or being interpreted in the worst possible way.

I have, from time to time, seen some excellent interviews with politicians actually showing that they have deep understanding far beyond the talking points. What usually works is: long (an hour or more), one-on-one, with an interviewer who is genuinely interested in the conversation, and mostly non-confrontational. There was a series of these interviews, called "Through the night with...", I believe, that had a few excellent episodes with this basic setup. "The fog of war" also comes to mind, although it's a different format.

Right, but when you say affordable, you probably mean something like a 50%+ discount, which is probably going to be more hassle than it is worth at the moment.

Not that price anchoring isn't real, and landlords are often shitty, but I doubt there are plenty of businesses interested in a short term lease for a 10% discount.

"Arleen Bowman Boutique" had a 10 year lease and wasn't exactly a big business, so I don't think that big businesses are the only ones who want long leases; I think your comment says more about the desirability of the real estate that people will deal with imperfect conditions to get a deep discount.
I live in the US and still dislike political posts, largely because political differences are such a source of hatred. It always devolves into bad Hitler analogies even among otherwise intelligent people. I imagine there are some people who are just annoyed that HN won't let them spread their thinly veiled political hate; I recognize this isn't a charitable interpretation, but it's been so long since I've heard a productive political conversation online, and I've never heard one involving someone as angsty as the OP.
A 5-10% drop in a single day on the SPX would probably cause a panic. This happens on a regular basis with BTC.

Enigma | New York, NY | https://www.enigma.com/

We're a Series B company based in New York City and backed by NEA Ventures, Two Sigma Investments, Comcast and American Express. Enigma was founded in 2012 out of an effort to retrieve, normalize, and host public data. Our view is that public data reflects more of our everyday lives than most of us realize. It’s everywhere, from a plane taking off at an airport to a barrel of crude oil flowing through a pipeline to a new drug being approved. These things exist in specific and separate public datasets, but together, they can provide a vast and powerful view of what’s happening in the world.

We believe in curiosity and the power of discovery. Our mission is to empower people to interpret and improve the world around them. To deliver on that ambitious goal, we place data into the context of the real world and make it connected, open, and actionable. Our repository of public data informs and trains each of our enterprise offerings.

The team has more than doubled in size this year and we’re looking to continue to expand our engineering team to meet business demand.

Have you tried implementing the length extension attacks?

Truncating from 512 bits to 256 bits hides 256 bits of the state from the attacker, so in order to use a length extension attack they would need to "guess" those bits.

>has hurt Python considerably

Has it? Why the assumption that Go is a direct competitor?

My impression is that Go excels where Python does not, and vice-versa. I use both languages a lot for my day-job, and when using Go, I very much miss having an interpreter and a fully-interactive debugger (Delve is excellent considering the limitations imposed by Go, but much less flexible than pdb).

And let's not even talk about metaprogramming...

i don't think its crashed at all in the last 8 months. we've seen some shakeups, sure. But I can think of two crashes in the entire history of bitcoin.

June 2011. from 30 down to under $1, and Feb 2014 when MtGox finally imploded.

These last few have been sell offs and market manipulation which only lasted a few days.
that's why I say I'd exclude politics when it comes to neutrality on HN - as a conservative/classical liberal myself, I've had very few productive political conversations here. Most other subjects are up for debate though.

Draft: Streamlining “inner loop” development for Kubernetes
A primary goal of the Paris Agreement was signaling; the benefit of it was that they got all countries aboard, except Syria (which was in the middle of a civil war) and Nicaragua (which wanted more and voluntarily is doing more).

Trump's decision (assuming it's a rational one and not fed by ignorance) is signaling the reverse: he's telling his supporters that climate change is a myth. And this is why he's getting pushback from other countries.
I've read that the endless bank branches are partly a result of regulations that incentivize banks to put branches in low income neighborhoods. Because of some statistical anomalies, parts of midtown and downtown Manhattan are considered low income neighborhoods.

That does become a problem if Google is the only game in town, and you're inexplicably banned from their platform, which does tend to happen.
