RainforestQA (YC12) | Data Scientists, Software Engineers, Ops, other roles | San Francisco + the world | REMOTE | Full-Time
We're hiring Data Scientists, Software Engineers, and Ops people, among other roles, to change the way software companies do Quality Assurance.

https://www.rainforestqa.com/careers/

We have plenty of interesting technical challenges and we care a lot about company culture (you can see our CEO talk about it here https://lattice.com/resources-for-humans/fred-stevens-smith-...). We've been remote-first on the engineering side since the early days and most of our engineers are distributed all over the world including the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa. We fly everyone to SF for face-to-face meetings a couple of times per year.

We're working with a bunch of cool tech from fraud detection, plain-old Random Forests, to using CNNs to visually understand websites, to managing thousands of testers using thousands of freshly-provisioned VMs, to provisioning real mobile devices for app testing. You can see a short talk I gave about one of our older projects here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_h8PElXio8.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have :)
So if Tether was FDIC backed, then you’d technically be OK with this situation?

I don't know. Most finance people now have access to bitcoin exposure through trusted institutions via futures. Many of these people felt a lot of FOMO at missing the boat on Bitcoin's last big jump. I think if it drops to $5k, there will be some big players taking a long position in hopes of another order of magnitude movement. Certainly could get much uglier, but I think Tethers vanishing would not be fatal.

Also, with Bitcoin becoming 'established' I bet everyone who owns more than $1M in cash is considering Bitcoin as a method of alternate banking and transferring funds internationally.

Bitcoin certainly isn't the safest place to store your money, but there is a decent argument to be made that it can be safer to keep 90% cash and 10% btc instead of just 100% cash for some risk profiles. Criminality is one obvious use case, but people who want a plan for how they could flee their country in the case of disaster, financial meltdown, or social unrest would also see advantages: much easier to get a $100k private key through an airport and customs than the equivalent in physical cash.
That is ridiculous. That's like saying that the food market is more expensive because you can have multiple vendors of food in one area, so it somehow promotes price gouging. I personally like having differentiated choices of food rather than going to the state sanctioned store close to your house because they all have the same things anyways.

> All in all there is less utilization of cars.

Sure. Because there is competition for supermarkets, more food gets wasted. You did not respond in defense of your other point that somehow this would magically raise prices because ???
If the questions asked on Unix and Linux Stack Exchange are anything to go by, the Z shell already has mainstream adoption.

But of course your argument has the fundamental flaw that the Bourne Again, Korn, and even Bourne shells were not compatible with their various predecessors, but that turned out to be not as problematic in practice as you paint it to be. And we've had all sorts of things gaining "real adoption" over the years, from Norton Commander clones to Perl. The world is nowhere near as narrow as you think.
Out of curiosity, what's your business model and customer base? Do you offer sequencing as a service, have proprietary analytics / software, other lab services, experimental design, etc?
This is how a lot of things work already. Neural nets are bad at strict logic. If you give one net one of two tasks, depending on a state, it takes a lot of training before the learned tasks separate from each other. Ideally, the aspects unique to each task would be completely separate and anything common to both tasks would occur once in the net and get used for both. In practice, it increases training requirements by so much that you are better off creating 2 nets and logically separating them with your own code or even creating a 3rd net to detect which state you are in.
Yes, it’s quite fascinating differentiating between the social idiosyncrasies of each.
I don’t see the internet either.

The value of bitcoin is its decentralisation. As long as there are people running nodes, the network is alive, regardless of what any government or entity in the planet thinks. Being global also means it’s used by people who do not have a stable money store (countries with unstable currencies), and for transfers between borders that would otherwise be impossible.
Thank you. I was wondering the same thing.

I glanced at the information and, if I understand it correctly, 4.0.0 is the first release of a ground up rewrite.

What's not immediately clear (and perhaps because I did not read the material clearly enough) is if any significant features were added. I wonder because I find it hard to rewrite something without taking advantage of the opportunity to add features. Or perhaps the desire to add features that would be difficult with the 3.x.x code drove the upgrade.
You're kidding me, right? It seems like every mainstream podcast is supported by ad money from mail-order mattresses or mail-order meals.

The NoSleep Podcast is the only one I've heard that dresses these ads up a bit. Even then, I still pay for the season pass so I don't have to listen to them.
> Comparing governments based on taxes they levy is like comparing modes of transportation based on the amount of fuel they consume.

I don't think this is a very good analogy. We compare modes of transportation based on the amount of fuel they consume all the time. Unless I'm missing your point? And not everyone likes the Scandinavian countries. They are blessed by very homogeneous populations, in a region unscathed by war the past 70 years, with abundant natural resources, and stable governments. I wouldn't exactly consider them a good model for the rest of the world and I'm not sure what there is to like about them beyond these natural advantages and the fact that most of their people are very nice... Lucky would be more like it.

For example, Norway, the richest per capita of them derives "Export revenues from oil and gas have risen to almost 50% of total exports and constitute more than 20% of the GDP."[0] not exactly something the rest of the world can model.

I think it has to do with it being a finger food and having less "class" associated with it. It's not always an issue but I have definitely received judgment for ordering a burger
> not knowing if they're trading digital dollar bills or monopoly money

Is there a difference?
I agree. Perhaps I was unclear. My comment was mostly unsolicited bike locking advice to bbarn, not suggestions for how to operate bike share systems. Clearly you can't take in the bike share bikes overnight.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I'd probably have had a similar experience in Baltimore if I didn't take my bike in overnight.

Totally understood, and advancing social progress and acceptance is very important, however, issues of economic inequality and the associated policies and government decisions that aid this increasing gap affect nearly 99% of the US population - they are inarguably more pressing, more important issues. Thus, I can agree with GP when they say these smaller issues, ones that affect very few Americans, but warrant hours of newscast time and require every American to formulate an opinion on, are distractions.

So analytics are only useful for successful techs with wide adoption? I think many of those techs got that way because of analytics.
I don't think training on ethics is required, nor would it be sufficient if not accompanied by a substantial change in accountability. Today's police are virtually untouchable. They know it, and act accordingly.
Concepts are on track for C++20 and they are already available on gcc to play with.

Besides that, it is already possible to use typed templates in C++, at least with any C++14 compiler and even better on C++17, even if it requires a bit more of effort for the implementer of the generic code.

Basically by making use of type traits, static asserts, constexpr if and enable_if.

Yes, it isn't as clean as Rust but as shown by Andrei Alexandrescu with D, it opens the door for very powerful designs.

The problem is you'll never know what were the actual criteria used to deny your claim, it will remain some vague denial reason. Or you will get to know but after much back-and-forth during which it incumbs to you to pony up with that cash flow.

I spent many thousands of dollars for crowns made inside the dentist office with 3d printing and regretted it. The crowns hurt for months because of the material they were printed with, fit poorly and half of them failed within 4 years. Sometimes new technology isn't better.
> One heuristic is to start from people you think are cool, and learn about what they do.

I think this is really good advice, thank you.

I think running a business is cool, being the one who facilitates everyone else in their work so that something meaningful can be made. I guess that's sort of a product manager position, which I think would be fulfilling if it was a meaningful product. But the problem is that it's pretty difficult to find a job like that for someone with no management or leadership experience and it's not something I can just do by myself. Maybe I can find a project manager position as a stepping stone to this?

I will give this more thought. Thank you.
Oh, I didn’t realise my country was not developed (New Zealand).

We have both, lower total taxes than the US and are more free market than you.
How about information? Since the light interacts and the speed dropping to 0 depends on properties of both inputs, there’s probably interesting interactions there.

Agree 100% if you're implying Common LISP/CLOS as the most underrated.... it's fun to show people examples from the Art of the Metaobject Protocol and watch their heads explode :-)
YC is surprisingly unambitious. They have access to unlimited amounts of capital and do almost nothing with it. Maybe because they compare themselves to the truly terrible investors they're surrounded by, and so it feels ambitious by comparison?

This announcement should be about a new $1 billion fund that they're going to use to deputize and train a thousand new angel investors. Or at least something big enough to move the needle.

Observing YC's evolution is a bit like watching someone take over Philip II of Macedon's empire and using it to march around Greece in circles.
That's a symptom of the value of time vs. money.

If you're going to resent someone getting an extra 10$ worth of food you split the check based on costs.

If 10$ is effectively meaningless but 200$ is not. Split it per person, it's fairly close and reasonably fast.

If 200$ is effectively meaningless, rotate who pays it's faster. This can blend into: If 2,000$ if effectively meaningless, or you want to show off, who pays may not relate to who paid last time.

I can safely say that if it's C++, and changes are instantly in front of you, then it's not the C++ application I used to maintain.

Unless the definition of instantly has changed since I kicked the compile off.
My dentist, a younger generation who took over the practice from a retiring dentist, has installed a Cerec crown milling machine. It was amazing to see the tooth modelled in 3d using a series of photos, then I watched my dentist raise the ridges of the tooth to create what would become the crown. After a few clicks he sent it off to be made - in the next room! In literally 10 minutes he had a crown milled from a block of dental porcelain or some kind of hard ceramic, ready to be fitted in my mouth. See a video of the process here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajj4zkXHe6U
One of the leading theories about the invention of written numbers and arithmetic is to handle accounting for debts that would last longer than a few weeks or involve many people -- that is, as a supplement to memory for the purpose of credit/debt.

So at the dawn of agriculture, people weren't using barter -- they were using credit unions.
No, the problem is that there are other drugs that might have been administered therapeutically, so animals that are in the food chain have to be managed differently than ones that are for companionship or racing. For example Bute is commonly used in horses, but is toxic for humans.

This in part was why the horse meat scandle was such a problem in the UK.

Yes, I read it as 'sneakers' as well. Pretty sure it's because the word if prefaced with "pair of", which is much more commonly used with 'sneakers'.
The codes change regularly and different social cliques or professional verticals distinguish themselves by them, so they can be hard to Define. When in doubt: don’t be a tourist.

Know how to pronounce the items on the international restaurant menu before trying to order them. If you don’t know, don’t ask out loud. Whisper into your rich friend’s ear so as to not embarrass them.

Don’t speak about the unspoken codes either, and if you must, do it privately with your rich friends and go along with their answers.

Don’t not have enough money for something unless you express clearly that you are too good for it. Not needing it bad enough is not an acceptable excuse.

When others share stories of their extravagant lives, hold a straight face. This is normal stuff for you, remember? You already know what that’s like.

Speak of politics as though identity issues(D) or working hard for your money(R) are more important than class issues. Remember that class issues are not something you are particularly affected by. You can acknowledge they matter but insist identity issues are more important. This helps wealthy folk feel both compassionate, concerned and comfortable with their wealth. I’m not taking a side here, only giving proven survival tips.

Your family is kind of more like cartoon characters. You just share jokes with them and nothing else, unless something tragic happens or if they invite you on a nice vacation. Don’t discuss any other relations with your family members.

Fashion: In the least, if you wore it in high school, you don’t wear it now.

Music, art: Don’t ask who this is. You’ve heard it or you are too busy to care.

Like parent said, these can be overridden with confidence and flair but that takes some acclimating and strategy.

I wonder how hard it would be to create deep learning based plugins, for example YOLO or Faster R-CNN for object detection.
I never mentioned limits, and the reasoning is purely inductive, based on previous events.

We are far away from understanding intelligence in all directions. Top down, bottom up, neurologically, psychologically, logically, mathematically and last but not least philosophically.

There's optimism at the moment, because we are doing more stuff with more annotated data (the annotations providing the semantic grounding, as in "Not hot dog" vs. "Not in category 339492-883764-399274"). The key difference this time being access to (and processing power for-) sufficiently large "training sets" (read "samples") for deep-learning algorithms (read "statistical models"). From an AGI point of view, this is nothing but an expensive parlor trick, because the "intelligent" part is the annotation, not the categorization after the fact.
The value of the philosophical disciplines of logic and epistemology to empiricism and science is as self evident as the value of algebra and numbers to mathematics in that you can't have one without the other. Empiricism and science depend upon logic, reason, and a particular method of obtaining knowledge.

You're also conflating rigor with empiricism. It is possible to be rigorous and be a rationalist, a phenomenologist, a theologin, or an empiricist.
If the next time a rich person gives you an askance look and you immediately ask them to explain themselves, guess what, you just equalized yourself with them socially without having to learn which fork to use first.

Or you've shibboleth'ed yourself out by not already knowing what the askance look meant.
I'm pretty familiar with MMM and my frugal nature/minimalism is why I'm capable of being unemployed for years. My problem extends past just income though - I feel like I'm just existing without any purpose whatsoever. I think it's important to find meaning in the work I do because having it missing in my life causes a fair amount of distress and anxiety.
