Smart Baskets for Cryptocurrency | Valletta, Malta & San Francisco, CA | FTEs, INTERNS, REMOTE or ONSITE | Algo, Data & Software Engineers - Python, NLP, advanced sentiment analysis, quant & hedge fund analytics

Company:

https://vectorspace.ai - Advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) & Sentiment Analysis for Smart Cryptocurrency Basket Trading.

Which groups of cryptocurrencies are beating the market? Why? What do they have in common? How strong are those relationships? Are those relationships well known and obvious or are they hidden relationships? Are the relationships numerical or nonnumerical based on concepts, context and sentiment or a combination of both?

These are the questions our platform is designed to answer. It's based on a combination of context-controlled sentiment analysis and aan advanced cryptocurrency NLP and Machine Learning discovery engine that enables a user to automatically generate a token basket or “mini-index fund” made up of cryptocurrencies that are related to trends in news, global and local searches, concepts, context, keywords, hashtags, social media, URLs and other dynamic content.

Algorithms & Tech:

We're a Python & Tcl house at the core. We sit on top on Linux most of the time on the ground and in the cloud. We're made up of data engineers, scientists, quants and cryptocurrency and trading vehicle experts. We're in on-going collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the area of Life Sciences related to human healthspan.

What we're looking for:

We're serial technical & scientific founders and sometimes the bane of the music industry [1]. We're essentially a startup that's funded by a variety of cryptocurrency trading vehicles including our own. We have experience founding and running public companies and private startups in the areas of advanced NLP, finance, music and genomics. We're looking for people that may want to start their own venture one day while also being able to roll up their sleeves and cut some interesting code. It's as simple as that.

Freenode wouldn't be setting some kind of legal precedent, they'd just be making a judgment call. It seems like an easy one if the guy is truly missing.

Github is a rather different sort of entity...
> So it looks like Medium has embedded a method to frustrate the casual user of Wayback Machine from seeing articles that their authors have removed from the original site.

It strikes me as less likely that Medium is doing something intentional to prevent reading deleted articles, and more likely that the author of this post is making assumptions.

Besides, archive.org has a policy of respecting copyright. All you have to do is ask them to not re-publish, and they will. No need to engineer wacky redirects that don’t work anyway.

No, I'm pretty sure that is incorrect. The EU believes that an IP itself is personally identifiable and it must be secured and processed like any PII [1]. I think you could make a case that the IP being sent to an ad network is an "acceptable" business practice for which you don't need consent, but IANAL.

Seems to be quite a new rule. Last time I was in town was in December last year. Good improvement I’d say!
It also doesn't seem to take into consideration the use-case for the drives. Are they in write-heavy or read-heavy roles? Is it balanced between? Are there regular, punctuated periods of heavy load? Is every drive in the same style of SAN/RAID across the enterprise? (doubtful on that last one)

Maybe it doesn't matter due to the sheer number of drives being reported on here?

Well-intentioned idiocy is handing over cities to cars so completely that average people can barely remember what a city is or could be without them -- so completely that the temporary closing of 15 minor streets for another use could be described as "destroying transportation infrastructure."
Derek Lowe: Things I Won't Work With
The iPhone SE has a headphone jack. The latest leaks seem to indicate that the upcoming SE 2 will also. But perhaps the screen size is too small for kids.
Straight line here is taken to mean geodesic, the shortest possible path on the surface between two points. Parallels on the sphere are not geodesics!
Usually a DJ will request the file to import into the playlist so they don't get disruptions to playback from texts, phone calls, etc. I'd say it sounds like they found a polite way of telling that person "no".

I also wonder if anyone considered sending the media over another protocol. There's BT, NFC, IR, MMS, OTA, Wifi, sharing sites, etc. And if the DJ had 1/4", XLR, USB, HDMI, optical, SPDIF, or RCA, then they'd still have needed adapters, splitters, or converters.

None of my audio equipment has 1/8" inputs, so I'm about as sympathetic to the universal argument as I was when cars stopped having CD-audio players and roughly as optimistic in our ability to get over this as a people.
That's not a straight line (it only looks like that on this map).
That's what they think. Fortunately for the Internet, there are lots of unaffected servers outside it.
I agree that it's a California wide problem, though I think the cause is slightly different in different parts of the state. What do you mean by:

> The bigger government is the first one messing up housing.

Do you mean that State policies are the ones messing up housing? I think that Prop 13 and CEQA get named sometimes for stopping housing development, but a far bigger hurdle are the local zoning policies, and the veto power of local communities.

Are you suggesting something like a state-wide policy of by-right development for plans that meet local code and zoning regulations? That would definitely help reduce building costs, but it won't be enough to allow the amount of housing that is suggested in the original article.

(Somewhat) funny story: My wife used to work at TMC and said that initally the blinken lights actually indicated the utilization of each CPU but programmers spent so much time entertaining themselves by writing code to do animations in the blinking light matrix that customers demanded ThinkingMachines do something about it. So they changed the lights to blink randomly.
Apple probably made like $500 selling me an iPhone X. If they sell my data, I won't buy another one. I guess I'm stuck trusting capitalism in that I think Apple would rather keep making $500 every couple years than $50 once.

Sure, but they'd have to create a list of every deleted article which seems like it would be pretty long.
I’m surprised that neither these questions nor those by U.S. Congress last month include a request to provide an exhaustive list of all types of data that Facebook has on its users, including data bought from third parties (e.g. credit score) or acquired via subsidiaries (e.g. browser history from that Vonavo VPN app). Or am I missing something, and is such a list available somewhere?
Sharper at 80 with statins or without statins was the question, not sharper at 80 than at 70.

At Replicated we are helping software vendors be enterprise ready, and deploy their applications to any environment.

We are looking for a few roles to help scale our organization and work with our customers to help them evaluate the product and be successful after the sale.

The Director of Engineering will be leading the engineering team, helping drive the product roadmap, manage a talented team of experienced engineers and lead recruiting as we grow.

This role will exclusively be onsite at our office in Culver City, CA.

"one grad of arc along the Earth's surface corresponded to 100 kilometers of distance at the equator; 1 centigrad of arc equaled 1 kilometer."

Sort of an aside, but I love how the headline of this article: "Hollywood Says It's Not Planning Another Copyright Extension Push" implies that Congress is basically powerless against Hollywood's whims (or money).

10 Qualities of a perfect programmer for success
Not much code will be practically reusable in 5/yr from now.

Is that really true? If you look at a lot of JS from 5, 10 or even 20 years ago it still works. The main things that stop it working are security changes, which is arguably a good thing. I don't see why many of today's JS libs will stop working in the future unless there's a good reason why they should.

Yes. One of the key parts of GDPR is breach reporting. Assume you discover your company has been breached. How do you investigate the breach? Discover who was impacted, what was done and by whom? Is that significantly harder/impossible if your logs don't contain IP addresses?

Also consider Log retention. Yahoo discovered a data breach 3 years after it happened. What if they'd only kept logs for 1 year.

No, because the supply of land is perfectly inelastic, and it already commands the highest price that can be obtained.

"A tax upon ground-rents would not raise the rents of houses. It would fall altogether upon the owner of the ground-rent, who acts always as a monopolist, and exacts the greatest rent which can be got for the use of his ground."

- Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations

"It is in vain in a Country whose great Fund is Land, to hope to lay the publick charge of the Government on any thing else; there at last it will terminate. The Merchant (do what you can) will not bear it, the Labourer cannot, and therefore the Landholder must: And whether he were best do it, by laying it directly, where it will at last settle, or by letting it come to him by the sinking of his Rents, which when they are once fallen every one knows are not easily raised again, let him consider."

If actually being used by people isn't part of your criteria for a good medium, then I'm not sure it's very useful.
It sure does, you’re right. So does any “straight line” great circle too, so that isn’t super helpful. The equator has the same circle projection that 66° does.

Look at it from the side and it looks straight. If you’re sitting in the plane of 66°, the projection is straight.

I was trying to be supportive of @dbatten while explaining. It’s easy to get confused about what straight means on a sphere, since nothing is actually straight.

Yup, it's becoming a sad state to be able to own things and not be dependent upon the whims of others.

I went from buying all my music (physical and digital copies), and sometimes had to remove DRM from the digital copies, to stopping that and just using Spotify.

I'm slowly planning to stop paying for Spotify, but it would be very expensive to buy all the music I listen to. I think this will lead to at least 2 things (that used to be true, for me). 1) I'll listen to more local/new music that I can buy from BandCamp, etc. and 2) I'll have higher value to the music I do listen to, because I'm not as worried about glutting myself on a million new bands through Spotify. I'm okay with these 2 things.
