Cobalt Robotics | San Mateo, CA | Fulltime

Cobalt builds autonomous security robots that keep buildings safe by combining the reliability of machines and the friendly face of human-in-the-loop “Robot Specialists”. Security costs US companies over $200B / year, and is a very difficult task for humans to perform because of long monotonous hours.

We have robots deployed to customers nationally and are an incredibly fast moving team - we went from nothing to shipping our first robots in 12 months! We are 35+ people now and we're looking for folks who are scrappy, collaborative, excited, and eager to share their knowledge and expertise with the rest of our team.

We are hiring:

> People drive them on the sidewalks

Where else would they drive them? On the road? They would just contribute to the thousands of cyclists that die or are seriously injured every year.

If you are suggesting that every electric vehicle be banned because sidewalks are for pedestrians only then I disagree. Streets are for cars only, don't let these fake bike lanes fool you.
It is up to the issuer if a pin is required.

NFC and pin is a thing in many countries, but not the UK.
That’s a pretty shortsighted opinion. The big problem here is that our cities are structured so that you have to move several tons of metal around to go more than a few blocks.

Being angry about a better alternative instead of the lack of infrastructure is just crotchety.
I think you're 100% wrong. Any person would feel more threatened by a person physically assaulting them, than by being harassed verbally. What's hard to imagine is how you ever came to this conclusion.

Verbal harassment doesn't get any more violent than putting the idea of assault in your head. Actual assault is the manifestation of the idea brought by the verbal harassment. It's an entire order of magnitude worse than verbal harassment! It's not even in the same league!
It doesn't matter what's powering them, the power requirements are so much smaller than those for moving a 2-3 ton automobile that you still come out way ahead
IMHO iTerm isn't all that great. I have problems with common keyboard shortcuts that work in every other *nix terminal emulator (eg forward over word). The response seems to be "just redefine these keyboard shortcuts yourself!"

What exactly does iTerm do that makes you regard it better than Terminal?
Something like eager execution in tensorflow?
As far as insight for how this looks for the US economy, one of the few people I respect when it comes to predictions is Ray Dalio, he says the US debt will start becoming an issue soon. Within 10 years the majority of the US federal budget will go to paying INTEREST on our debt, requiring us to borrow more to pay for the rest which will result in exponentially rising debt and inflation as the government prints money.

Dalio also talks about Thucydides Trap and Paul Kennedy's book on the decline of great powers. He doesn't say it but he seems fairly confident in China surpassing the US as the dominant global power in the near future. The only issue I have is that he seems to think China's high debt is fine compared to the US based on vague reasoning.

The US and the West in general need to wake the fuck up or we're going to be under China's thumb. We've become complacent and assume our status on top of the global hierarchy is guaranteed. China is playing to win and doesn't care about breaking the rules to win
25 miles is a lot for a scooter
High-risk complete replacements happen because some risk-averse developers/management resisted change for decades and now the company cannot gradually modernize.

Writing a modern concurrent garbage collector is as complicated as writing a compiler, to a great degree because of their "real time" constraints and concurrency.

the large externality of having scooters littered around the sidewalk.

You and I have very different definitions of "large." I'd call this "very minor."

It also depends on the comparison group. I mean, look at these astounding photos of mammoth, abandoned dockless vehicles: https://slate.com/business/2018/04/astounding-photos-capture....

Cities will, over time, reallocate a small amount of the space currently devoted to very large dockless vehicles to small dockless vehicles and thus solve the problem.
Personally, I love the scooters and bikes these companies provide and I think you make a really good point about them being a positive disruption.

It's pretty clear that there is a growing demand for ways to get around other than driving yourself. Lyft and Uber are great for covering distances, but have their issues. In busy metro areas it can often be quicker to walk than it is to drive if you're only going a mile and traffic is bad. On the flip side, in more suburban areas the nearest Uber or Lyft can often be 10+ minutes away.

These bikes and scooters fill that "too long to walk, too short to Lyft" gap perfectly as well as being a great for getting from a public transit stop to a destination.

I don't think they have all the kinks worked out yet. I often see them left in stupid places and there are safety issues for sure, but I really do think they are a step in the right direction.
no, fzf also does history, it uses `fc`. I think it should be doable to integrate fzf with McFly.
So, in which conflict it was proved to be better?
No, fzf is highly extensible. It can be used for files, grep, RG, git grep, bash history, and tons more.
I've always heard that Japan's form of censorship was actually a means to help control and eliminate illegally produced pornography. Also, personally I've always held the belief that a drawing is just a drawing, and it is bizarre for it in itself to be considered obscene regardless of what it depicts. Of course, the actual law is a lot more complicated in pretty much every jurisdiction.

The wheels are way too small for some of the pot holes in cities.
Why can't you use a backpack to do grocery shopping?

Scooters have markedly improved life around where I live. Fewer noisy cars and less emissions.

Is the night riding banned by the app? I though they had lights built into them?
Let's say, hypothetically, that I create a website that rivals YouTube where people do achieve fairly consistent success, and can live off of the income from their videos. What do we expect to happen?

Hundreds of thousands of people will try to get in on it, causing both the income of existing creators to drop, and the average income to plummet.

Any market where there is a huge supply of people who want to produce the good is going to have this problem.
Easier to replace the energy powering the grid than to, say, power a vehicle directly with non-fossil fuel sources. It may still be using fossil fuels due to what is powering the grid, but that can be changed out over time; when using a gasoline powered car, you can't, until you replace the car.

It's why electric cars are viewed as being friendly; the grid they're plugged into may still be fossil fuels, but that can change at any time. A gasoline powered car won't change its reliance on fossil fuels until you replace it.
Exactly -- and there's no veneer of legitimacy. NSO has been caught red-handed multiple times selling to atrocious governments. Every single person connected to that company is okay helping despots murder political rivals and dissidents. Just awful.
Agreed, skiing very similar, I started skiing late at 40, after much - time expense falls - I am now a proficient skier, (black runs moguls etc no problem). If I go skiing after a long break, I worry still worry though whether I still ski?, but aleays come back to me immediately without having to think.
Yes, burning coal to generate electricity to power an electric vehicle is better than using an ICE to power that vehicle directly. Not sure about hybrid vehicles.
True, anyone can in malice claim that almost anything is an attack. But if you have a community that is (mostly) operating on the principle of charity (that is, read comments in the best possible light), you have that problem much less than if you have a community that doesn't, and attempts to mis-label stuff as attacks should be at least somewhat corrected. HN, while not perfect, does it fairly well.
Holy crap. You ride on one of those standing electric scooters for at least 37 minutes each way?! (20 mph) That's a long time... I could understanding biking but not stand up scootering.
Except much faster and much more generic. Eager execution is very limited in the subset of python it can differentiate, for example. There's more info in the OP blog post.

Privately owning a bike is not cost prohibitive, you know.
In West Oakland I see many people using the Ford Bikes, but yet even more people using the Lime scooters. Kids, adults, techies, non-techies.

I think they look kind of dorky, and some end up on the sidewalk and dumped in Lake Merritt. On the other hand, it appears that people are using these scooters a lot, possibly instead of driving. That seems like a positive outcome to me.

Yup, especially when any attempt to raise gas taxes is met with hostility by the voters.

We massively subsidize drivers in this country. It's a natural consequence of people voting for their own short-term self-interests.

And about 33k people die every year in car crashes. The scale is _very_ different, but transportation is always unfortunately somewhat deadly... people are out in the real world and are moving fast.
Not against this. Ethanol subsidy has caused a lot of environmental damage. Wind subsidy has created a crisis as there is no money to make repairs. Solar can stand on it's own.
Right, this is all part of the process, and I am not saying it is insurmountable. When cars first came around, we had no parking laws. Now we do.

We need the parking laws for scooters.
Yes, because in the long term electric vehicles consolidate fossil fuel emissions to a single large point (coal in this case) which can be eventually replaced with a clean energy source (i.e. solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, etc.).

I'd imagine that horseless carriages looked dorky back when they were introduced too :) Maybe it's one of those things that will become normalized with time.

It would be good if more safety concerns were met though - I do think mandating helmet usage is a good thing.
Heroin is roughly comparable to alcohol in terms of harmfulness. Some analyses find it worse, some find it less harmful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_harmfulness

Almost everyone agrees that despite the harms caused by alcohol, we were even worse off under prohibition. Why would the same not be true of Heroin?

When I look up the subject I see several structural function prediction methods. This being so I don’t accept that having better structure does not assist in predicting function, at least when using these approaches.

This is not a hypothesis (a speculation to be confirmed or denied), this is a conclusion derived from a series of palaeoethnobotanical and stable isotope analysis studies.
What about all the cars littered on the sides of the street? Don't you have to walk around those too?
The Treasury Department sells a variety of securities. I wasn't able to find anything about how they choose auction amounts, but it would make sense for them to borrow using whatever kind they can get the best rate on, rather than 10-year bonds in particular. If so, the mix would depend on market demand.

Santa Monica has a TON of parking laws. You certainly can NOT just park your car anywhere you want. Pretty much every parking spot available in the city has rules - how long you can park there, how much you have to pay to park there, who is allowed to park there, what permits you need, etc.

We have NONE of this for scooters.

We need these same rules for scooters that we have for cars.

Wharton Research Data Services (University of Pennsylvania) | Data Scientist | Philadelphia, PA | ONSITE | VISA

We are looking for a full-time Data Scientist to join us at Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS), a Wharton department that provides business intelligence, data analytics, and research support to academic institutions around the world.

## Technical Details

· Programming languages: Python! You will make use of the `pandas` module extensively in daily work. Knowing how to parallelize your computation is a bonus (we work on a 40-core server). It would help to explain your work to your fellow colleagues if you know SAS, but it is not a required skill.

· Machine learning: "Shallow" learning techniques (such as SVM classifiers with `scikit-learn`) would help a lot, while neural network packages (such as Tensorflow/Keras) would be an overkill.

· Environment: All our R&Ds are performed on a Linux server. You need to be comfortable with terminal access, Linux commands, SSH tunneling, and package management with `conda`. Our filesystem is NFS, so knowledge of optimizing IO for cache utilization would be great.

· Delivery: You need to be good at clearly summarizing your work by writing reports and documentations. By "clear", we mean "easily understandable by financial analysts who have little CS background". In terms of format, Word is good, but LaTeX or Markdown would be a delight. You will also need to pack your derived datasets and/or codes in a portable way, so that our data team can add them to our client-facing database. You can choose your own version control solution.

· Computational resources available: We have Jupyter Lab deployed on our internal R&D server, as well as a huge SAS cluster shared with our clients. Most of our numerical data are on PostgreSQL. Feel free to set up our own MongoDB, etc., if needed.

## Preferred Background Knowledge in Finance

We are in the School of Finance, after all. While not required, these background and experience will be preferred:

· experience with business/financial/accounting analytics based on large datasets,

· knowledge in finance,

· good at foosball,

· experience working with SEC data (including textual filings and numerical data), and

· experience with financial databases (e.g. CUSIP, CRSP, and Compustat).

## Apply

If you are interested, please apply through Penn Human Resources at https://upenn.dejobs.org/philadelphia-pa/business-systems-an... .
Indeed. I think the general consensus is that ICO's are dead in light of the current securities requirements.
Israel uses deadly force against civilians engaged in acts of force against Israel.

You can argue that it’s not a proportional response, but there’s a clear editorial bias to refer to one side of a force exchange as “civilian” and the other as “deadly”.

It is when you have to figure out how to get the bike to the start of your last mile, deal with flat tyres, etc.

With these scooters, you can take public transportation (keep in mind some systems don't allow bikes on their transit systems) to somewhere, then solve the last mile problem.

Not to mention $200+ to own a bike may not seem like a lot to you, but could be a lot to someone with low income. The capex cost can be prohibitive.

There's a pretty wide spectrum between full-blown free-for-all and full-blown Amish-mode.

3 of the 4 charts in your source put heroin as much worse then alcohol, and the 1 that has them close together is completely unsourced.

Overall harm between the two may be similar, but there are an order of magnitude more alcohol users, then heroin users.

It could be from the perspective of storage and maintenance. For me, one of the hardest things about owning a bike is where the hell to put it. I live in a city where I can't lock it up outside overnight or it'll eventually be stolen.

And as someone else mentioned, flat tires are a pain, checking/maintaining brakes are a pain...I can afford to have someone else do it, but that's still way more of a hassle than just booping a bike on the sidewalk.
Vehicles that move faster than pedestrians should go on the road, like bicycles do. As a bike rider, its a vastly superior option that going on the sidewalk.
