Oakam | London, UK | Full-time | Product Managers, Data Scientists, Software Engineers, UX Design/Research | https://www.oakam.com/

I co-founded Oakam >10 years ago, and am currently the CPO. We give loans to people ignored by banks and mainstream lenders, helping them with their financial needs today, and helping them build their credit history. We make automated loan decisions with a unique combination of traditional and alternative data and, of course, have proprietary machine learning models. We have lent more than £350 million in small loans to date, and are growing fast.

We still have a lot to do to improve our models, incorporate new sources of data, make our application form+process smoother, re-design and re-build parts of our back-end systems to get ready for international expansion, and more. So we're looking to hire for several roles:

Original title (too long): Google walkout live: Pictures of Google workers leaving their desks in protest over sexual misconduct
Society overall gets varying amounts of utility from companies. Mostly they exist to help their owners harness the wealth creating power of workers. By some methods of accounting, many of them are a drain on society; they centralize wealth and create much bigger external costs (resource depletion, pollution) than they create value (engineered obsolescence, disposable crap, useless products & services or ones that serve artificially created demand)

Car dealers, patent trolls, for-profit health insurers, security-theatrics firms, content-distribution conglomerates (ISPs in the US) all are exploiting regulation or lack thereof to profit at societies expense. A lot of finance industry behavior is about unproductively extracting money from other participants. (for example 401k holders)

It's my opinion we should aggressively curb all counterproductive business models, but they tend to be good at protecting themselves. They either win over the masses through PR and deceit, or use more direct corruption of regulators.
I completely agree, I was just responding to the GP comment not the story as a whole.
that's not bias, that's a self-fullfilling-prophecy runaway effect, even worse!
Alexis Ohanian says men are unhealthy, insecure, and paralyzed by patriarchy
Agreed, this reminded me of the math book I read as a kid (sorry, don't remember the name anymore), which asked a seemingly simple question: "is a random triangle acute"

The book then went over a few different methods of constructing random triangles (pick 3 random points, pick 2 random angles, pick 3 points on circle, etc..) and shown how each approach would give a different answer to the problem.
I'm a CTO (of a company quite a bit smaller than Uber) and I do basically everything in this article.

One thing missed here (or that is out of scope of the article) which I think is actually very important is that engineering managers should get involved in QA. It's not glamorous but running through a couple of manual test scripts yourself gives you insight into features you might not know too well (if the product is very large) and also to personally assure yourself of the product's quality.

I find myself incrementally tweaking the QA test script every now and again when I do this, it's a great way to continuously improve the process.

Thanks for catching that - fixed!

[Edited!]
This article is pretty close to my own situation. I’ve found that the worst thing I can do is work on features that could potentially block everyone, and the best I can do is grease our code ecosystem by updating libraries, compiler versions, and low level code which doesn’t affect business logic.
The question is more about what kinds of distributions are in some sense "reasonable" for this setup. A uniform distribution for wine/water is problematic because it implies a non-uniform distribution for water/wine, and it is reasonable to expect that these distributions should be the same.

The underlying problem is still underspecified, and there is a class of distributions which have the appropriate symmetry, as described in the paper. The range of possible answers is still more limited under this symmetry assumption (that the ratio of water/wine and wine/water should have same distribution) than under no assumption (in which case any probability between 0 and 1 is acceptable).
I think the above poster is not clearly differentiating between heating from RF radiation and heating from electrons colliding with silicon or battery components. Given that simple failure in communication, I'd like to see the calculations they performed to arrive at their conclusion.
Using Google's free service as a photo backup seems like a poor choice, since they will scale them down.
I think the bigger value is in decoupling the visual style choices from the framework used. This one seems to be going the other direction. Not only is the overall visual style "burned in", but it is permanently set to "dark mode". This seems like a safe choice only for small, short-lived applications.

(By the way, the new stuff from Google in which they have made Material Design much more configurable, is a great shift in the right direction. Of course it would be even better if the whole material-ness of an application were a runtime switch, but there are significant obstacles to that.)
I wish it could be made more apparent to people that Twitter and FB are not mediums for communication, but mediums for marketing broadcasts.

Everyone with a significant following (let's say 100,000) is selling something. Software, home goods, consultants with online courses, meme pages angling for a TV deal, something.

Yes, you can still use it to communicate with a core group of people whose tweets you enjoy. You can also do that on Slack, Discord, even phpBB forums, all of which grant the user more permissions to use the tool as they like.
Wasn’t there a time when you had to actually present a prototype of the thing you wanted to patent to the patent office?

I think the patent system needs a little work, yes, but I think it’s often conflated with the bass ackwards copyright law in the US. Used together, the two give you the ability to perpetually remain the proprietor of your “invention” because your invention is only ever distributed as a licensed work. This is directly at odds with the purpose of the patent system in the first place.

Patents are supposed to 1) reward inventors, during a limited, exclusive, window, for their inventions, and 2) reward society for curating good inventors by giving everyone access to the details of the invention immediately so our collective knowledge increases. It’s not meant to be used to build your corporate fortress. However, the patent into copyright strategy is how purely digital content behemoths survive. So good luck.
Iran is far enough away from Israel that it would be difficult for Israel to actually project power there. The distance from Tiberias (northeast of Israel) to Ahvaz (southwest Iran) is ~780 miles. If you go to Tehran instead of Ahvaz, it's 930 miles. An F-16 has a combat radius of 340 miles. An F-15 can do ~1000 miles. An F-35 has a combat radius of ~700 miles. You can do mid-air refueling, but doing it at scale in a situation like the 6-day war is not simple either. As far as I know, Israel does not operate dedicated long-range bombers.

It's easy for people in the US to forget the effects of distance like this, because the US approach to this situation would involve parking a carrier group or three (which Israel doesn't have) off Iran's coast in the Persian Gulf, using those to suppress air defenses, and then using those and strategic bombers (which Israel also doesn't have) to strike ground targets.

Or put another way, fear of Israel's military sure hasn't prevented Iran funding Hezbollah, which would generally be considered an act of war in itself given that Hezbollah then uses those funds to fire rockets and artillery into Israel.

Wait, what about headaches?
I agree with what you've written, and the phrasing I used was unclear. I was mainly making a note about joining a mid to late stage pre-IPO startup (series B or later) vs joining a large, low growth public company. You can't easily invest in most pre-IPO companies today (though with secondary markets growing in popularity this might change in 5 years). In the case of choosing between two large public companies, sure, take the cash & liquidate your positions as soon as you vest so you can stick them in SPY or vanguard.
Here is what Alan Kay had as the title which was changed by the NIH people (talk starts at about 4 min in):

If "the best way to predict the future is to invent it", is it too late to invent a healthy future?

The answer to this one is not clear and Kay's answer in this talk would be, "It depends on what we teach the children of today."

I would highly recommend watching the whole thing. Also: He says he started making up these pity slogans because most people can't read/understand a paragraph of text.

>I am using their storage and I don't want to particiapte in a "community".

Again, exactly the type of user they're trying to disuade from using their service...
I think there's a large number of people who feel they are gladly paying for this restriction in the sense of "if I buy this I'm less likely to get "hacked".

(but TBF I only share my software with my nerd friends who recompile it themselves so I admit I am not suffering at the coal face on this one as some developers are.)

How Amazon Is Becoming a Massive Ad Platform (And Why It Matters)
No, that's not the network effect I'm thinking of.

To wit: The value intrinsic in the relationships between your users ("The Network") - to the point that you want all users whether paying or not.
I don't think that your first paragraph is an honest assessment of the issue. People who buy tube gear are absolutely not looking for "flat, uncolored sound".
NI is Native Instruments, has been that way since the late, late 90's in audio circles
I respectfully disagree that advocating for changes in the legal framework constitutes inciting violence, unless you use the most broad and generic definition of advocating violence. Thanks for the civil discourse though.
How about instead of "the whole point of JWT is to completely avoid server-side state management" we think of it as "the whole point of JWT is to reduce the overheads of server-side state management".

In my answer above, I was pretty clear about how the load on the database can be significantly reduced with a blacklist and optionally Redis out front, thus allowing JWT to significantly reduce the burden on the database.
Sure. The good thing about this is that they were often very good devs so their insights are really good.

Operative word being "researchers", here. Apparently the gender of researchers conducting experiments on rats has shown to change outcomes : https://www.nature.com/news/male-researchers-stress-out-rode...
For your first 2 paragraphs, yes. Agreed.

I don't understand the distinction you're making between "1) minor or abstract" and "2) speculation which is not yet realized but may turn out to be correct." Could you elaborate on #1.

Again I also want to make the point that at least for this discussion I'm putting myself in the position of someone who is creating the law - not following it. But yes we should know what the current law is and what the case law is - yes. It can help us guide us there. So thanks for your insight there.

All the Reasons You Should Root Your Phone
This looks a bit optimistic or underestimating real life tradeoffs.

There can be an API, yes. But if you want to filter by positivity, you have to expect the company to actually implement that in the API. Otherwise, do you expect to get all billions of tweets over an API and then add positivity on top?

You can't have sustainability, performance and "open for everything" on one single API, there are tradeoffs and constraints involved. Even GraphQL needs certain fields to be filterable even before the API call returns, otherwise one can't just loop over all commits in GitHub universe without exhausting both consumer and provider systems!

Atleast that's what I think. Would be happy to be proven wrong.
I don't think the parent was suggesting that what makes your ear hot is RF.(of course it's conduction from a hot phon and lack of ventilation). They were suggesting, I think, that cancer can arise from having frequent hot ear, regardless of the heating mechanism.
I swing back and forth. I go for months without touching the code, then I go for months where I stay in touch. It's easy to think a code base is decent when you stay close to it. Diving into a new code and unfamiliar code base allows me to see how new engineers will approach the code base, what's the onboarding/setup docs? Is it automated? install.sh or containeriazed? Are there tests? FAQ? user documentation, maintenance document? architectural documentations? If I can jump in the code fast and get moving, it's great. If not, I know the team is slacking and I figure out why and cover that area.

If pressed for time, then I might do the test/bugfixes cycle.

I code multiple times a week at home, so I'm not really pressed to program at work

I've used Howler on a few sites to make media players for small-time artists' sites. It's pretty neat.
I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience.

I'd love to troubleshoot and figure out what went wrong. Would you mind going into Settings in the app, and doing "Send Logs" and pasting in your comment from here? I'll see that message in our support bin and follow up with you, and that will give us information about what data you have loaded, your system specs, etc.
In my experience, a compiler would be wasting my time interrupting me with errors that are easily catch later, playing with the clojure REPL.
