H1 | Data Scientist | Onsite | New York | Full Time | $110-$150k + equity | https://h1insights.com/

Our team is building a suite of machine learning tools to help solve problems in the life science space. This includes the classification of researchers and physicians to their scholarly research, simulating how effective drug compounds will be, and much more.

We're growing fast in a field that is also growing fast, so we're looking for people who want to grow fast too. We think an environment that is supportive, collaborative, and sophisticated is the key to making this happen.

Our data scientists do these kinds of things:

Deploy machine learning techniques against a set of collected and cleaned data. We’ve separated the data engineering and data science roles at H1 because we want our data scientists to spend their time analyzing data, not cleaning it.

Work within a Spark/Scala/Python environment from notebooks through mature pipelines. Our data scientists are able to implement algorithms in code that runs at scale.

Tune and tweak common algorithms for the right result. Our data scientists are able to tell us how the shape of the data influences the performance of the algorithm, and what the trade-offs are between using one algorithm over another.

Find an academic paper which explains a new machine learning concept, and implement it. This involves not only coding the application, but testing against real-world data and potentially making improvements.

All candidates must have a very thorough understanding of linear algebra and statistics. This means understanding various fundamental matrix decompositions and their effects, various statistical distributions and their applications.

If creating foundational infrastructure in data science using the latest tools and techniques sounds appealing, we'd love to start a conversation. Email me: josh.geisler(at)h1insights.com
I just learned from a colleague that you can install a MDM if you have a Google Apps account. Of course now I want to try MicroMDM first.

I think the major benefit is that this way you control the MDM, and you don't risk that a MDM gets installed on your phone unexpectedly, sort of like a rootkit.
You could try looking at Microsoft PowerApps
>"how likely your result was to occur randomly"?

What does random mean? It just means you didn't include every possible influence in your mathematical model of whats going on. Instead you used some distribution of "noise" as an approximation to whatever was really going on.

Eg, if you know everything about airflow, gravitational, electrical, etc forces on a coin throughout a flip, you can predict which side it will land on with near 100% accuracy. Most of the time we don't have info about that available so use the binomial distribution approximation.

>"where effect sizes are gigantic"

Most science has nothing to do with "effect sizes", in fact I'd say concern about "effect sizes" is indicative of very rudimentary science. Advanced science is concerned with making precise and accurate predictions.
Tim Berners-Lee announces new project for users to take back control of the web
A simple search on Google will yield plenty of results, if you are not willing to do that or even explain which solution you tried yourself and what failed, I'm not going to waste my time recommending an alternative solution to your problem either. In fact I just provided you with another solution which you didn't bother acknowledging.
The system described above, as applied specifically for healthcare, works wonderfully for most in countries that use it - significantly better than in US, anyway. That alone is already a reasonable answer to your "why?".

But also, there's no reason why you can't have private insurers providing better options on top of a public system. In fact, most countries do exactly that.
Nope. The smart money is on Tesla bankrupting and having a fire sale. Elon made a bad decision in how they setup the assembly lines of the Model 3 requiring rework on the assembly lines processes and more importantly capital expenditures (cap-ex). He almost destroyed the firm with a single tweet, almost was tied up in costly (time and money) SEC battles, and is always one interview away from saying the wrong thing.

The electric vehicle market is only viable because of the stupendous efforts Mr. Elon did in getting to this moment, however, if Tesla fails, the electric market will bear the stigma of: We tried that in 2010 and it did not work.
I agree with everything you said and I’ll add that knowing how to read a company’s financial statements won’t make you a good stock picker (ask me how I know), but not knowing these things will make you a bad stock picker.

One of the major intangible benefits of a business education I’ve found was simply the immersion in the language (written and verbal) of business. I can sit down with a CEO or other non-technical stakeholder and discuss his/her business without sounding like an idiot. Helps in an enormpus number of situations.

Sounds like you weren't that serious about getting an MBA to begin with. Surely you knew most of what she told you before going into the introduction.
>Those who slept less than six hours were more than three times as likely to consider or attempt suicide, and four times as likely to attempt suicide, resulting in treatment.

Considering that insomnia is a common symptom of depression, this really shouldn't be remotely surprising

Edit: I'd bet you'd find a similar correlation with students that sleep more than 12 hours a day too

Surely though one of the reasons for the success of Tesla and SpaceX is that the high profile of Musk and he's always in the press. Far fewer people know of what is going on in GM electric vehicles or NASA compared to the latest SpaceX launch or newest Tesla update. Its one of the reasons Tesla is so popular.

You don;t get it. Access to coast is guaranteed to be public in most countries I have visited - it simply is not for sale. This is about super-rich people demanding special treatment, saying - EVERYTHING is for sale, it is just a question of price.

Back in the 80s I think the BBC did a short run educational series to get kids familiar with computers. I think they converted this over to the US computers on the PBS channels. That is where I got my initial interest in computers as I started experimenting with the program they provided on my Atari 800.

As I said in another post, I was an MBA dropout but I did learn a lot. I’m not sure how much that knowledge has helped me in my career, but it has helped me communicate with CxOs during the second part of my career without looking like a deer in headlights when they started talking about the business end of things.

> However, I don't want to disparage the tutorial nature too much, because learning to "think in Coq" has dramatically changed the way I reason about even traditional pencil and paper proofs, for the better.

That sounds intriguing, but I wonder if being more rigorous also means being much slower in completing proofs and if practicality is lost (?)
Wrobel and Förstner is definitely a different style, to some degrees the two books complement each other. But it focuses much more on the stats side and gaining an intuitive understanding, which to me is really important, and if I wanted RANSAC the algorithms in Hartley are out of date anyways.

I don't have to agree with any of your response. Crypto's unique characteristics make it even more problematic in the situations you've described, not less. Crypto is by far the worst possible unit of exchange since it actually places additional requirements on people in already unstable conditions, namely, the requirement of stable access to the internet and electricity.
If you are technical then no, an MBA is not designed to help. If the consulting is management consulting then it might help at first.
I read a few Head First books when I was first learning to program (Java, SQL, and Design Patterns), and I know what you mean about the books trying too hard to be funny, with lots of silly stock photos, word search puzzles, and the like.

Even so, Head First Java in particular is a good introduction to object-oriented programming for someone with no prior background in it. I feel like any beginner who can look past the silliness of the Head First style could learn efficiently from this series. I wouldn't use a Head First book now, but they are good for people without much background to build on who want an easy learning curve.
> lack of accountability for fund usage is a major one

So you give them money and then tell them how they can use it? I thought the whole point of giving them cash was to allow the recipient to determine how best to use it, given their circumstances at the time.
Most Canadian provinces significantly restrict or outright ban private healthcare for stuff that's covered by the public system. Since Canada is the closest example to US, and the one most people turn to first, that unfortunate quirk is given undue prominence in the healthcare debate here.
> HK has a number of abandoned fabs built up to nineties technology level. They were once built by no name electronics companies in nineties, but they all went bust during the Asian crisis.

This is __absolutely__ the most cyberpunk thing I've read all year. Truly, we live in the future.

A question arises - how much work would it actually be to bring up a fab that's been dead for several (much less a dozen) years? Wouldn't the fab basically need to be ripped apart and completely refurbished by now? Or are the most important pieces fairly immune to physical degradation when abandoned without regular ongoing maintenance?
>"We seem to have reached a point where rarely does a new invention throw off previous science without it being based on new science that was already in disagreement with old science."

Or perhaps science has become so institutionalized that any truly novel ideas are suppressed either directly or indirectly (eg the funding for that type of thing is already maxed out).

Or maybe the truly novel ideas are getting classified: https://slate.com/technology/2018/05/the-thousands-of-secret...
The DoJ claims irreparable harm because that's the standard for granting a preliminary injunction. You don't grant preliminary injunctions for reparable harms.

If you think such irreparable harm is unlikely, then you've already made a prediction about whether the court will grant the preliminary injunction. Hold onto that thought for a couple weeks (maybe write it down) and learn something--either you were right and in reading the denial you'll be able to match your intuition with the legal logic, or you were wrong and you'll learn something from the court's injunction order about what irreparable means in a context such as this.
Lots of YC companies | Software engineers of all kinds | Many places, though mostly in the US | Mostly on-site, but some remote | Full-time and intern

Earlier this year, a team of us at Y Combinator started a "common app", so that people could apply to work all Y Combinator companies at once. It seemed silly to us that even though so many companies are struggling to hire people, it still requires O(n) effort to apply to n companies.

So, we built https://workatastartup.com. It's a simple way to apply to all YC companies at the same time. Right now it's only for software engineers & data scientists for now (we hope to open it more broadly later). If a company is interested, you'll get an email from them. There is also a directory where you can browse the jobs of some of the companies that are actively hiring through the site and apply directly (not all companies have finished their director profile yet).

It seems to be working pretty well so far - many of the people who posted a profile have gotten more than a dozen company founders reaching out to them, and people have gotten jobs through it. You're most likely to have good results if you're looking for a full-time role in the US since that's where most YC companies are based.

We recently hosted an in-person career fair where the founders of ~40 YC companies from a variety of fields and of various sizes gave short presentations and then mingled with attendees. [0, 1]

We'd love if you filled out a profile and let us know what you think (workatastartup@ycombinator.com) : https://www.workatastartup.com

I was just going to post that. I'm concerned that since election security is not (just) a technological problem, that very little will be done to improve it in the foreseeable future.

I'm from Idaho which is currently conservative by close to a 2/3 majority, but remember growing up that we had many liberal elected officials like Cecil Andrus and Frank Church. From my perspective, democrats are working to improve election security while republicans are not.

Is this simply a partisan issue? Does anyone from more liberal states have examples of democrats opposing election security?

If so - then how do we work to improve election security when our elected officials refuse to? If not - then how do we accomplish reforms within the republican party or make election reforms into political capital that it might be willing to trade for?
