Hazel Analytics | Data Scientist | Seattle, WA | ONSITE | $100K - $150K + 0.05% - 1% equity (DOE) | https://hazelanalytics.com

Hazel Analytics is a fast-growing food tech company on a mission to create innovative products that change the way organizations use food safety data. Founded in 2014 by professors from Stanford, UCLA, and the University of Maryland, we're the proven market leader in health department data analytics, serving Amazon, Cheesecake Factory, Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, Subway, Target, Whole Foods, and more — nearly half of the largest 100 food retail chains. Our platform transforms diffuse and disparate local health department data into actionable operational intelligence for our customers, who need to proactively monitor food safety and regulatory compliance while serving millions of meals every day. In recognition of our impact, we're a proud recipient of the Food Marketing Institute's Food Safety Innovation Award (2019) and Jack in the Box's Food Safety Innovation Award (2016).

We're currently seeking a data scientist who will help identify new opportunities and develop high-impact data analytics, predictive models, and statistical tools for our user community. You'll be expected to be both a creative and critical thinker, to have strong judgment in prioritization and execution, and to strike a balance between moving quickly and delivering high-trust analytics. You'll need to not only think and act like a leader but also roll up your sleeves and deliver production-ready models. Our tech stack predominantly features Python and R, but your input will be instrumental in further defining our architecture.

We're profitable and privately-held (i.e. no VC investors), which means your equity is worth something from day one, and you’ll be able to make a direct impact on the company's strategy and execution. Personally, I was hired from a HN job thread — I'm looking forward to seeing some great HN applicants!

That design is extremely close to the new design of train in use on the circle line. The seating arrangement is a little different and they use monochrome LED signboards rather than LCD (for sensible reasons), but the continuous unobstructed design is there, along with actual aircon.

It's an impressive sight to look from one end of the interior to the other when it's not full of people (and going straight).
How does that help anything?
But config not being read by things not installed does not hurt either. And once I install these missing things, the config is read again. And I usually spend a lot more time with configuration than with installing...

The Wayback Machine is great, but it's basically a hack. Archiving shouldn't depend on a single centralized entity occasionally crawling the web and saving chunks of it to its archive (but only what it finds during the crawl, and excluding content with large file sizes, such as videos).

It ought to be built into the architecture of the Web, decentralized, immediate, and (at least for small file sizes) on by default. Oh, and censorship-resistant. Even for large file sizes, I think there ought to be some very easy-to-use mechanism to donate either hard disk space or money to publicly archive content of your choice.

Those are lofty goals, of course, but the current web has is quite vulnerable to bitrot as it is, and there's no guarantee the Internet Archive will continue to operate indefinitely.
Randomness breaks pattern cycles. After the peak load passes, the remaining processes should be able to be cleared except where patterns of held locks prevents efficient progress. Think especially about processes that want two of more locks to complete.

Ok. Just so I can understand a little better, in an ideal world, which part of my comment would I have omitted so that it wouldn't be considered a personal attack? I understand that the tone is sarcastic, but I am curious which part HN moderation regards as a personal attack. I didn't name call or use profanity, so it comes as something of a surprise to me.
> Talk to people who are misinformed. Don't shun them out of your life.

At this stage everyone who doesn't accept the seriousness of climate collapse is either a liar (self-interested billionaires who want to make a shitload of money from it) or is clinging to denialism as part of a neurotic identity attachment. They are not remotely amenable to the effects of 'information'. I wouldn't advocate shunning the latter group, but there's no point in engaging with them on the topic either.

The MO a long time ago was to test it on multiple AV's until it passed on enough that were widely-deployed or used by the target. Those AV's were disconnected from the network where they couldn't send the samples back. There was a risk they'd keep something to send when networking came back on.

Although not a malware developer, my recommendation was installing the software in a VM or something, updating to current sigs, cutting off networking, testing sample till it passes, and delete the VM. Then, restart the process with clean VM or (more likely) from snapshot. I'm not up-to-date on what they're doing these days, though.

I slept on a fair number of sleeper trains during multiple trips to China. It’s basically the most popular way to get around the country. A few years ago, Xuzhou-Xi’an, a 10 hour trip, was priced at 315¥ (around $50 USD) for each “soft bed” (four soft beds to a room), which was perfect for a travelling family.

Recently, the high-speed rail lines have started to shift things in favor of daytime trips between large cities (Beijing-Xuzhou used to be 7 hours by sleeper train, but it’s now 2.5 hours by bullet train). But, the train remains the best way to travel within the country. It’s smooth, quite cheap (esp. for an American traveler), and increasingly comfortable.

That writer is a kind of a jerk (more in the replies than in the original post). "I know, you don't, I'm smarter than you, you have to prove that you follow what I'm talking about (and I'm talking as obscurely as I can) before you're worthy of me having a real conversation with you." Yeah, spare me; you aren't so amazingly, uniquely insightful that it's worth it for me to jump through your hoops.

That said, there's an interesting question in there. If our society were starting into a technological collapse, what would it look like? And how would it look different than what our current world looks like?

I'm not sure I buy that this is what's happening. But looking around, I see enough that might be evidence that I can't rule it out...
Why would you say that's not allowed?

I have the rare luck of renting an apartment close to Frankfurt/Germany that has an Split A/C built in.

It's obviously legal, it's just uncommon, but that is in a large part an artifact of the high ratio of renters.

Landlords don't see an A/C as an particularly value adding addition to their investment, and tennants don't really get to pick and choose. The A/C in my apartment was installed by the previous tennant, out of his own cash and simply left it installed when he moved out.

The owner doesn't want to have anything to do with it and when it breaks i'll either have to replace it, or leave it there broken...
I do not understand your complaint. It's a layer 7 HTTP load balancer, so it has to understand HTTP.

As for why people use APIs for configuring things, it's because infrastructure changes frequently enough that encoding it in a static file isn't practical. Imagine you are rolling out a new software release. There are 100 replicas. You could start up a new replica, see if it passes health checks, edit the haproxy config to configure that as an endpoint, wait for haproxy to start sending it traffic, check that it's working, edit the config file again to remove the old version's replica, wait for haproxy to acknowledge that change, shut down the old replica... and finally do that again 99 more times. Nobody wants to do that, so there's an API to inform your frontend load balancer of where your workers are. When it needs some endpoints, you tell it.

I guess an even better example is TLS certificates. They expire every 3 months. What do you do when a new one is released? Drain traffic from one load balancer, copy the certificate and key over, wait for the load balancer to restart, and then undrain traffic? No, that's a huge pain. You just have your load balancer connect to your secret discovery service and have the same program the renews the certificate send your load balancers the new certificate. Then you don't have to drain; when a new connection comes in, you present the new certificate.

All these config APIs make it possible to operate software at scale. You probably don't need it for your personal website. But you could probably eschew servers entirely and just nc -l on port 80 and type the response in your terminal when a request comes in and still have a mostly-working website.
I recently traveled to Rome and in both places we stayed there were AC units mounted below the windows. We also saw some split systems that had the condenser unit either in a foyer/lobby (hooked up to a vent) or on the roof.

Maybe that's not typical.
> They are often competitively priced with air travel

Not at all. London-Edinburgh is £65 on EasyJet and a 1 hour trip. A regular seat on the Caledonian Express is £45 for an 8 hour trip. The Caledonian Express en suite twin room is £280.00

> when you consider that you spend time travelling when you would otherwise be asleep

I could fly Easy Jet for 1 hour for £65, and have money left over for a very comfortable hotel and a nice meal.
>> it's a great pity software developers misused and screwed it up so badly

So the Registry is a great idea and great software design, but developers are "holding the phone wrong"?

I think applications should be standalone and not tied into some giant central spaghetti shared knot of chewing gum.

The beauty of Linux/Unix is that stuff is configured by text files. Windows was on that path i the early days when everything was configured with ini files before someone had the idea of introducing the registry.
This search feature was actually good in Win7. On its way into Windows 10 it has regressed into something awful. The way it inconsistently comes up with different results in different orders when you repeat the same search multiple times in quick succession is a good example of how maddening it can be to use this thing. I want to start a program from the start menu, type its name and I often get a Bing link as first result or a document which is replaced by a Bing link in first place just in time for everything to shift under my cursor so that I pick the wrong thing. The actual menu entry that I'm looking for can be 20 seconds late at times (when it shows up in the program list without delay and probably popped up in an earlier search in first place after only 2 seconds or so).

I don't get why this thing is messed up the way it is.
See, this is about agile going wrong.... back in the early days of XP, a term started popping up "Brain Engaged", meaning that you don't blindly follow perscribed processes. The manifesto tried to capture this in somewhat frilly language. So be agile ( not in the dogmatic process sense of Agile with a capital 'A'). You have to do something like "create a security...blah blah". You don't have to do anything bi weekly, what you need is a way of of doing that where you can get feedback as soon as possible, how do you iterate through possibilities and arrive at a good decision? how do you involve the people who need to be involved in a way that you get good contribution? How do you make it so it is robust, how do you progressively work towards the goal while minimizing risks and failing fast? If nothing else, the core of agile is feedback loops and communication with the various people involved at a rate that people need.
If it’s that transparent, what’s the truth?

Whats the REAL reason for this nauseating, unacceptable, decision?
does modern nuclear eschew digital controls? i mean... i’m sure they have manual cutoffs and sensors that humans monitor; can’t have some rogue hacker able to turn a nuclear plant into a huge catastrophe from the other side of the world and all...

but i’d think they’d be largely automated to reduce human error?
I'm not saying the story is implausible, but I dispute the idea that estimating software development efforts is an intractable problem that is better left unattempted.
> if i spent all day tweaking peoples registries, only to find that they are not backed up to be restored when you desire a sane configuration uuum, "pissed off" would not even begin to approach describing the emotional carnage evoked.

> the windows folder is sitting at 12 GB

I don't think the Windows folder is a particular good indication of Windows space usage.

A while ago Microsoft put a tablet killer design out there: 11 Screen, 4GB RAM, Touch Screen and 32GB SSD. Man+dog shipped them. Then man+dog found the machines died because Windows ran out of disk space on patch Tuesday. So regardless of what is in the windows directory 32GB is not enough to run Windows.

We "fixed" the problem by replacing Windows with Linux. Total size of Linux install, which included Libre Office and a selection of browsers: less than 4GB.

Microsoft attempting to fix the size issue by removing 100M of backups when the scale of the problem they are trying to solve is 4GB vs 32GB is a almost laughable.
Spot on! I’ve also been developing software for over 20 years and my estimates have never improved. I think an order of magnitude is the only reasonably useful estimate, which can then feed into the question “is it worth doing it or not?”
They don't have to. Have you never found a leader who you wanted to be your leader? Who you admired and viewed as worthy of directing you?
Tesla own the Gigafactory but lease the manufacturing equipment from Panasonic on a per-cell-manufactured basis. Tesla have just bought Maxwell, a lithium cell and supercapacitor IP company.

Panasonic effectively make the cells (through quite a convoluted financial arrangement with Tesla), but Tesla make the batteries, which is a crucial distinction. An EV battery pack is inordinately more complex than a bundle of li-ion cells.

The good news is, if you limit running the AC during daytime, it is easy to power them with solar energy, as the need for AC implies a lot of sun shine. These days the German grid is powered between 30-40% by solar only. And one would expect this percentage to raise quickly in the next years. Of course, if you are a home owner, you could run your AC directly by your solar, completely removing any network impact (and consequently any additional carbon output).
It's not like USPS doesn't screen the mail, they obviously have far less ability to test things without a warrant (not a problem for the end recipient company) but it should concern everyone if (and a big if!) it's true that sarin was found and it made it past USPS.

IIRC it becomes difficult to register cars in Japan because of emissions standards once they are a few years old. That's why so many end up in Australia/NZ/UK.
I'm a little speechless that so many people seem to think that this decision will empower the owners of these lots more so than investors. It takes a significant capital investment to convert a single dwelling into a duplex. At the very least for most people this will require incurring a significant mortgage, more likely than not just being outright prohibitively expensive.
It's not like every piece of land will become twice as valuable in practice, that will take quite some time for the demand to catch up to the supply. In the meantime, the land is slowly purchased by developers and investors to build multi-tenant dwellings.
