PathAI | Boston, MA | https://pathai.com

PathAI is looking for an Director/Manager of Engineering to help lead our work to detect cancer faster and more accurately while paving the way toward personalized medicine.

We're working with a modern stack using Python/Django/Flask/DRF, alongside a Vue-powered front-end. Services are containerized, and we do our best to have a great engineering environment alongside our regulatory and compliance efforts. We're a technology company working within healthcare, not a healthcare company trying to leverage technology.

This role in particular will be helping build and lead our application engineering team, which works at the python/postgres layer to provide services for software-based medical devices, customers via the front-end, and internal teams. The team is five people today, and expected to grow through the short-to-mid term.

Work alongside a diverse set of expert technologists, computational biologists, and computer vision scientists – if you're intellectually curious, it's an amazing environment to be in. We're well-funded with strong revenue and growth.

Check out our open positions at https://www.pathai.com/careers/.
It's border patrol speak for "keep your device indefinitely while refusing you entry and/or detaining you indefinitely". By attempting to cross the border you give them the right to do any of that.

Isn't border patrol (US, Canadian, pick a country, I'll wait) wonderful?

I mean, the author got three years to work on something they loved. It's unfortunate they didn't have what it takes to turn it into a career, but the game itself should be enough to get them into a studio or smaller indie shop.

I don't think it was a waste, but maybe the author should be looking for alternative ways to parlay the game into a paycheck instead of ... ... whatever this is.
Can you please elaborate why it's unnecessary to beat down attempts at compromising my privacy among other people's?
My preferred setup is something small but manageable. By this I mean something that I can scale if needed but also reliable across different domains (such as gaming, coding, web surfing, etc)

Why not 4k? The 4k'ish feel of having multiple windows opened on your monitor will plenty of space left over is a good vibe. However, I've experienced several IDE's that do not scale well with 4k monitors. Several embedded design suites look awful because of this and you sometimes need a magnifying glass just to find the right button you need. Yea you can find work arounds for this but why deal with it at all.

Ultra Wide
They look appealing I admit but haven't invested in one yet. There's just something about multiple monitors that's appealing to me over one gigantic one. Plus if I ever have two systems I want to hook up and see at the same time then I have this option with two monitors. If I had one gigantic one i would need to invest in a switch i guess.

I don't like the glossy style screens. I like that dull rough look (I can't think of the technically term for it but the less shiny screen whatever that is). I use a few color schemes that just look awful on the glossy "shiny" style screen. My eyes start to hurt on those screens as well which is another reason I favor the "dull" screen look.

I get a high frame rate monitor. I find it less stressful on my eyes along with the dull screen I mentioned above. Comfortable distance is about 2 to 3 feet.
> No DNS, no DHCP, no VPN, what is anyone gaining using macOS server

Probably because the big enterprise go for Microsoft and Active Directory, and the small ones go for nothing, just a "home" router, and iCloud/GApps/O365. Or you can spin up a Linux box and do most of this if you start getting bigger. The only place I can see this is large Mac heavy shops like designers etc. But even then, most of the MDM stuff can be hosted outside.

Weird title. The title seems to suggest that the stock soars because of Musk's "naughty by nature" tweet.

Why is it framed as a problem in the first place?

If you're running a convenience store and your customers purchase 65/35 apples/oranges, how would you solve a "problem" of getting them to buy 50/50?

Nowhere in real life do we see an equal representation unless it's enforced artificially.

If I told you that hispanics outnumber asians majoring in History 8:1, but asians outnumber hispanics majoring in Chemistry 10:1, then how would one solve that? Does that need to be solved?

Very sad to have read this, I followed his dev-blog. It was very interesting and inspiring, but also educational to know your limits.

Josh did not know his limits, as he literally went insane over the amount of work he tried to accomplish. The goals on the one hand and the reality on the other, but it never got close enough.
And now he finally gives up, after he recovered from his total breakdown and got back on track.
How about 'we need hospitals and power grids which don't rely critically on technology vulnerable to remote control or malfunction merely from faulty instructions'?
Fair, I'm letting personal bias bleed into my criticism of the game.
For speech recognition, a few very foundational textbooks are:

* Foundations of Statistical Natural Language Processing by Manning and Schuetze [0]

* Statistical Methods for Speech Recognition by Jelinek [1]

* Spoken Language Processing: A Guide to Theory, Algorithm, and System Development by Huang, Acero and Hon [2]

In particular, Statistical Methods for Speech Recognition is a book you could expect to see on the shelves of most people in the field.

Kavanaugh supported American citizens being “disappeared” and tortured
I think we all agree with that position; the issue is the author of TFA did not make that position, so GGP was arguing against a strawman.

The original study was disproved, and TFA includes multiple such links near the top.

Hi everyone I'm Cadran! I'm the creator of Leap, a private online network for women in tech. I shared a bit about it earlier this year on HN.

This is our first conversation that is available for everyone to read, not just members. We hope you enjoy it and would love to hear what you think.
THROW THE STUDY DATA OUT! The retained outside counsel cases that have been previously negotiated in chambers are the first to go at the opening of every session.

The court takes the outside counsel (attorney) cases out of the gate and the PD pro se go subsequent.

If anything this study proves that getting a good attorney pays off.

Calling hackers out there... would be great to track private attorney win loss ratio above or below par sentence and publish it on criminal defense leads site to help people select great attorneys and stop paying for schmucks.
As cheap as burner phones are these days, it seems the easiest route is to buy a decoy Android and fill it with plausible-looking innocent data, and leave your real phone home when going on vacation.
It is possible to attack the idea without inadvertently attacking the person. All it would take is acknowledgement that he didn't intend it that way before noting "But it can go thus and such bad places."

You can espouse a zero tolerance policy for the idea of "I have nothing to hide" without making it a dreadful experience for the person who made the mistake of using that particular phrase while explaining why you think it is critical to try to kill off the phrase for all eternity.
There doesn’t have to be a break in rules symmetry tho. Imagine that universe is a giant dipole of a magic field F, one end of it carries huge field +F the other -F. Next imagine, that presence of +F is likely to precipitate matter from energy, while -F is likely to yield antimatter. Thus a perfectly symmetric system of rules will produce area with only matter and only anti-matter. And blazing inferno in between the two zones.

We just need to find out what the F F is.
Ironically, going to a state school for Computer Engineering with large class sizes and under funded professors made me learn how to learn very quickly. The lectures were initially very simple, and supplemented with hard projects and labs where we would really learn how to do something
It's a bummer, at one point Server was actually a pretty cool product, Network Homes and such were a great feature for Macs and it was approachable for a lot SMB applications. A nice GUI on some good open source features isn't a bad thing. I feel that Apple missed a bit of an opportunity there by being stuck in the 90s and early 00s mold where Macs weren't really considered at all, and thus of course businesses weren't so interested either very often. But times changed and if Apple had kept with it they could have both capitalized that and potentially carved out a profitable niche, it would have lined up well with current worries about over centralization and dependence on the cloud and services if Apple had a friendly product that let people do stuff at home. There were a lot more interesting possible features there that never got and now will probably never be explored in the same way.

Granted, the same can be said about a lot of Apple product possibilities, including desktop Macs period. And there are always tradeoffs: Apple's startup-type organizational structure makes multi-tasking hard, but also makes for fantastic focused products. If they were more traditionally structured they probably would have maintained the Mac a lot better, but would the iPhone have come to be in the same way?

At any rate it leaves a small hole for me at least, I don't mind handling things normally at work but I enjoyed playing with a nice GUI at home, and some small business I know still use Server. I asked for some suggestions on the Ars forums, and for anyone else wondering, one I was given that now looks really promising after first tests is Synology's DiskStation Manager, run standalone if you buy their equipment but also possibly under ESXi vis Xpenology (alongside macOS if that's still desirable for some of the remaining MDM functionality and such). I haven't dug deep into it yet but the GUI and power looks pretty nice, and ESXi will even run on Mac Pros in which case a macOS guest shouldn't even be a license violation. Something to consider anyway as a replacement. For simple network needs those running UniFi kit might find the controller is also enough, though right now it's a little shallow on some core features. Might still be good enough and again a decent GUI.

Anyone on HN have any other ideas for equivalents, with sane GUI defaults even if some CLI usage is needed as well? Are some free general distros these days fine for that, or have popular GUI managers that can go on top? I could see more specific distributions like FreeNAS being good for some applications depending on what exactly Server was being used for. Another storage focused option might be NexentaStor CE, though that is limited to 10TB.
Blockbuster's plan failed because too many games were shipping on cartridges with custom hardware on the PCB.

In the NES days it was simple data mapper chips that allowed a program to address more than 40kb of ROM by switching between multiple 40kb data banks. On the SNES this went much further, with games including specialized co-processors for things like sprite scaling, digital signal processing, and even hardware accelerated 3D scene rendering.

Making a universal cartridge that can handle all of this is a challenge even today.
This is exactly right. The Jews in Germany probably thought they had nothing to hide before the Nazis came to power.

...those sorts of instability are not solely associated with climate change...

That was not the question, or assertion.

...hostile aliens taking over the Earth...

That is an uncorrelated exogenous risk.

As I said above, and for wwhich there is ample historical evidence and contemporary risk analysis by governments, militaries, and others, the second- and higher-order consequences of climate change include a wide range of effects commensurate with the scenario as spelled out in TFA's review.

More generally, one can divide risks into endogenous, or correlated, scenarios, and exogenous, or uncorrolated ones. I and Vollmann's view is that the first set seems larger than is generally realised.
So what are the type of people who went for MBAs now going for?
Nvidia Publishes Signed Volta Firmware for Enabling Open-Source Driver Support
MBAs are great once you have real work experience in your field already. Duke’s MBA program won’t even admit you until you’ve been working for 10 years.

Without the experience, it’s a different perspective on the program.

EDIT: That was the Global Executive MBA program at Duke. Citation in comment.
I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has tried it how well it integrates into their storage, load balancers, dns and firewall offerings.

Prior to this, it was possible to manually setup a cluster with kops or kubicorn and configure external-storage yourself for volumes. There was also digitalocean-cloud-controller-manager for load balancers.

How about cluster upgrades, will Digital Ocean provide a way to upgrade k8s versions on deployed clusters?

Looking forward to trying it out at some point, congratulations on the release.
I should say minimal cost per item. Even if it were $0.25USD per item, most wouldn't even notice, and if they took action against vendors with heavy return requests or counterfeit notifications, it could at least help.

There are already shipping labels placed on every outbound item, tiny little tags per item would be minimal by comparison.
During my undergraduate program, I was a Teaching Assistant for a statistics department housed within a business school. The department was going through a re-branding from statistics and operations to "business analytics", and I got a lot of exposure to the inner workings of graduate education at the time.

Some students in our department were there for an MS in Statistics, others for a dual MS and MBA program. The single greatest indicator of whether or not an MBA was useless was whether the person was actively or passively choosing to get an MBA. About 70% of students were passively choosing to get a graduate degree. Either they had no idea what to do after their bachelors, they realized really quickly after their bachelors that what they thought was "adulthood" in college was not real and decided to run back to it, or they were following the trope of "bachelors -> 2-3 years in industry -> MBA -> ??? -> profit" with no idea of what "???" was except that they'd put in their 2-3 years already. For all of these students, they were passively choosing to get an MBA either to fill a checkbox or to avoid the alternative.

Then there were about 30% of students that actively chose to pursue an MBA. These students almost all had actual, real-world experience and actively chose to get an MBA because of specific needs or circumstances they had. In some cases it was to make a strategic career shift, in some cases it was to better orient themselves after making a career shift, in some cases it was to get over a ceiling in their industry where it was required to keep growing. But in all cases, if you asked them why they got an MBA, they could tell you without hesitation explicitly what prompted that decision, and the value they expected to derive from completing their MBA program (and why the MBA program was the right avenue for getting that value).

MBAs aren't useless. But a very sizable percentage of people graduate with them are useless[1], and would be equally as useless with or without the MBA. And the same holds true for most advanced degrees, from what I've seen.

[1] From the perspective of "hire a bunch of MBAs to solve problems". An incompetent worker without credentials is just as incompetent with credentials. And success in receiving an MBA from an academic environment does not denote success potential in applying the MBA in a business environment.
