Analytical Flavor Systems | Manhattan - NYC | Full-Time | Onsite | http://www.Gastrograph.com/

Position: Full-Stack Engineer, Application Engineer, DevOps, Data Scientist, Sales (inside or field)

Application & Data Stack: Golang, Javascript, Docker, Streaming Infrastructure, R, TensorFlow, MySQL, AWS

Team: we're a diverse 6 person company (across Data, Engineering, Chemistry, and Biz)

Analytical Flavor Systems has developed an AI platform for the development and optimization of food and beverage products. Our Innovation Management, Deep Market Insights, and Quality Intelligence services create real-time predictive decisions metrics at each stage of a products life-cycle - from conception to consumption - helping companies create and sell the best product to their highest value consumers.

Our Services

_Quality Intelligence_: Real-time predictive quality control, assurance, and improvement from human sensory data.

_Process Intelligence_: Real-time predictive process control and optimization from human sensory data + manufacturing & LIMS data.

_Market Intelligence_: Linking flavor-profile, demographics, and sales data to find the highest value consumer demographics for a product's flavor-profile.

The Position(s)

_Engineering_: Web-application or Streaming Infrastructure focused full-stack engineer capable of integrating the data pipeline and outputs of machine learning models into an easy to use management platform.

_Data Science_: Data science is central to our predictive Quality, Process, and Market Intelligence services. We didn’t build a data science team to optimize our product's marketing spend, sales funnel, or client retention – we built a data science team to build our product. We need data scientists who can understand our clients and can take a nebulous business goal, create a set of quantitative decision metrics, and build predictive models to optimize those metrics.
The extensive role of data scientists at Analytical Flavor Systems allows us to invest in their education across sensory perception (standard sensory science so they know what we’re improving and replacing), tasting experiences (so they appreciate the products we work on and understand how the data is collected), production knowledge (test batches in our R&D brewery and roastery so they understand the data they work with and how our predictions impact a client’s process), and data science tear-downs (a meeting where the team collaboratively attempts to find and fix problems, try new techniques, and debate the philosophical implications of a model's construction).

_Sales_: We prefer the thoughtful relationship builder to the cowboy negotiator. Most of our contracts are multi-year high-price affairs, so relationships are really important.

Next Steps
Please submit something awesome to JasonCEO@Gastrograph.com to apply.

Well, still, nobody thinks of South Korea as a poor country, right?
A poll where a majority of the population both votes and votes for statehood.
That was a good article. After coming to US for college I decided to help in a soup kitchen on Saturdays for a while. Well it was more of a breakfast pancake and coffee kitchen but same idea.

It was eye opening how rampant mental disease is among the homeless. It seems addiction for many was a way to self-medicate and or just get away from the constant stress. One person I remember was a former community college professor and he would come regularly. He was calm, intelligent, well read, I forgot what he taught maybe history or literature. But then I also heard stories from people who were there longer to be careful, sometimes he would snap, see daemons and yell obscenities and so on.

Some people were always cheery and happy, that was surprising. Most were quiet, looked down just took the food and left. Some would come for seconds and would tell us they have a family, a child or someone else waiting for it.

Anyway the point was that it was a very good experience and taught me a few things. It definitely dispelled the often repeated myth how homeless people are just lazy and don't know how to manage their money and so on. It is a pretty complex problem. I understand that a while back there used to be state mental institutions. Those closed down and states just let the homeless out onto the streets. Why don't they open them again, was a budget issue?

There was talk about YC trying out basic income, wonder if there is any space there having a non-for-profit startup which provides a shelter like that with psychological help and counseling. If it is worth disrupting coffee making, or nutrition or taxi monopolies, maybe it is also worth seeing if there is something to be done for those who need help the most.
In the US at least, states enforce non-competes with varying degrees of vigor. It be might worth having a quick chat with an attorney.

It was like this in the time of every morning, midday and evening newspaper as well. Still not a reason to introduce, moreover to actively encourage censorship. While this particular case may be true, those in power will just use this precedent as an example, more and more. It is like a tiny hole in water barrier, at first it is small, then it will grow larger as some people would want to justify more "filtering", more and more, until the water will destroy any barrier, and full featured censorship will come. This is already a case, but still can probably repaired back, we will see.
Ask HN: What really happened with Andrew Wakefield?
Yesterday I went to watch a movie called The Pathological Optimist. It's Dr. Andrew Wakefield's side of the story about what happened with the 1998 paper he published that reported cases of the MMR vaccine leading to autism.

Some parents noticed that after giving their child the MMR vaccine the child developed autism. This came out in a paper and lead to over 100 failed attempts to replicate this study. Eventually Wakefield was accused of fraud, stripped his medical license in the UK, and the paper got retracted. A legal process went on and on until (iirc) 2010.

On one side scientists couldn't reproduce the study. On the other parents had a kid that was ok before the MMR and now has autism.

This seems to me like a very strange data point, and strange data are the most interesting data. Wakefield believes there is a link between the MMR and autism, but there isn't scientific data to support it. Except parents. As if some truth is revealed only to humans and can't be reproduced in the lab.

There is some speculation of a coverup from the pharmaceutical companies around the dangers of the MMR vaccine (e.g using placebos that contained aluminum, so the placebo behaved like the vaccine). And there are data that show an increase in autism since the MMR was introduced. But the main thing here isn't (so much) the coverup.

In short, why is this data point neglected? If true, it's increasing autism! Why did a scientist who tried to help, acted ethically and disclosed his data, ended up having his career end?

Fake news is one thing. But is this a new phenomenon where we should also worry about disclosing data that are hard to get?

*btw: Wakefield's recommendation isn't to end the vaccine, but to give each one separately, ideally one year apart.

90s I'm not so sure. I was probably mostly buying CDs then--at least before Napster, etc. in the late 90s. I was thinking about more the pre-digital download eras when albums were the default through long play vinyl, CDs, and cassettes.

I agree that initial per song digital downloads definitely favored buying individual hits even given some discounts for buying entire albums.

1939- The New World Order (H.G. Wells)[] is a short read. 78 years later, a human lifetime, the issues are the same now as then. uncertain future, uncollected collective, fear, greed and inequality.

at some point you need to take a step back and be pragmatic. this is humanity, you can't invent solutions without creating new problems. civilization was an aberrant left turn, and stabilizing is at least a 6-millennium-problem, given we are in the 5th and cyclical patterns are reoccurring.

I don't see why convenience has to be conflated with renting and not allowing you to buy music or other digital goods. Bandcamp sells you DRM-free FLAC, but you can as well stream music from them.

TL;DR: convenience has nothing to do with non ownership, they are artificially conflated.

I interned at a CAD/CAE company and our "cool" feature there was a history tree. I don't know maybe all of them do it today, but I remember being thoroughly impressed then, having only seen word and simple editor undo/redo before.

Since we had all the visualization bits written, we reused them and displayed it as a tree and you'd try different approaches as branches by clicking between them to compare. I guess it was basically as a seeing the history graph of a git repo, but this was about 5 years before git was created.

> Since Lua is more typically used for extension and embedding

The LuaJIT (http://luajit.org) is another reason why Lua is very popular (although it only officially supports Lua 5.1). It’s a very fast implementation of the Lua VM. OpenResty (https://openresty.org/) is a very popular framework that allows Lua scripting on top of NGINX and LuaJIT, and it’s the same stack that Cloudflare uses. Basically over 5% of the world internet traffic goes through Lua, but only a few people know it.

This is the same stack that Kong (https://github.com/Mashape/kong) also uses, probably the most popular OpenResty-based application. Lua on top of LuaJIT can be extremely fast especially if you leverage FFI.

Lua is an extremely simple language which can be pretty much embedded anywhere, and the LuaJIT just does a great job at making it extremely embeddable and fast.

Disclaimer: I am a core committed at Kong.

Idunno, Xeon Phi, their GPUs since about 2007 (though a lot better recently), good cooperation and documentation with their NICs, direct participation in both major open compiler toolchains, all the stuff that 01.org lists...

Frankly Intel has done an adequate to good job of providing open source software to interact with all of their hardware for as long as I've been computering. They're the one vendor that has never told me to install a proprietary driver.

Zeynep Tufekci had a couple great columns about this recently regarding FB and the US elections this year. While I recognize that there's always a concern about who the gatekeepers get to be in the marketplace of ideas, I think this is a considerably more complex issues than "let all the information go wherever it wants and let the people sort it out"

Putting 4Chan in a top news slot is not "allowing unedited and unfiltered access to information", it is algorithmicly promoting a cesspool of disinformation into a spot that many users believe is fairly authoritative. There is no way to "not make a choice" here and let information be free. There is only figuring out ways to filter and sort the firehose of information that is now at all of our fingertips. (A situation, I should add, that human brains are not necessarily prepared for)

I don't think it has to be. But I've also had the exact same argument with people claiming subscription streaming is more convenient and, from their perspective, it absolutely is because of discovery/seamless availability across devices/etc. Personally, I mostly prefer to just own music and I only use "free" Amazon Prime for streaming. But there are a lot of people who don't want to deal with the overhead of ownership, however (from my perspective) minor.
