GemFair | React Native Developer | London | ONSITE | gemfair.com

GemFair is a digital solution which connects artisanal miners to global markets. GemFair is a London based, dynamic and fast-growing startup which is financially backed by the De Beers Group, making it well positioned to become a game changer in a market primed for innovation.

GemFair has been operating for a year, piloting the first version of its digital solution in Sierra Leone. Its digital solution can be used to on-board and manage member mines and then allow the logging and selling of ethical sourced diamonds to GemFair. The users of the technology are the miners who own and operate the mines, the GemFair team who manage the membership and the expert diamond buyers who ensure a fair price is paid. You will join a 4-person product team to continue development of the products based on the learnings from the pilot and help GemFair scale.

We are looking for a React Native Developer to join the team to help grow our product, if you want more details: https://gemfair.com/#join_us
I'm not necessarily saying you ought to cede to the experts, I'm saying you ought to do the research they have already done if you expect them to take you seriously about changing the way they do their jobs.

Obviously it's not breaking any laws to post an uninformed opinion on the internet, but what is going to be accomplished by it?
Of course it's different but consider all the retired military personnel that get hired to talk at different companies about leadership. There's a reason they find value in the experiences of military leaders. There are many overlapping objectives, experiences, and processes.
I can’t be done.
Also district shaping is more complex than you might think.

For instance some distracts were purposely built around a minority groups neighborhoods so that they would have a representative. If you made the districts purely based on grids then the group would be too small to have any representative.

Which maybe is the wrong solution. But you get funky district shapes for all sorts of reasons that are not the corruption people typically think of.

How are these genres being plotted? What are the axes? What are the text colors?
My guess would be that they are considered too risky.
What you're saying is the reverse of the situation I'm complaining about.

I'm not saying that they should specify how soon fiber is coming. Yes, then they'd have a support issue as you describe.

I'm saying that they should admit it when they know that fiber definitely isn't going to come any time soon at all, so that people can make an informed decision not to waste their time waiting for it to come.
You're correct about that. I apologize.

I interned at IBM a decade ago. I was studying computer science in Tucson, AZ and was super excited to get picked up by such a well-known company. I never wrote a line of code for them. I decommissioned assets. That is, I scoured massive labs for ancient pieces of hardware, traversed the rat's nest of fiber optic cabling holding them in place, extricated them from their racks, and ultimately placed them in storage closets. The campus was massive, but largely deserted. Senior people that I interacted with indicated that it was a cool place in the late eighties and into the nineties. It's a boneyard now.

That being said, I was glad to get to work with some experienced people. All of the other college-aged people that I knew there were stuck mindlessly writing tests.
Wait, are you saying you don't currently use any objective similarity metrics (distance or feature based) in your model?
Thanks, would like to use one in an ebook I work on in my spare time, if that is ok: https://mixmastamyk.bitbucket.io/pro_soft_dev/

This is a copy of most reasoning against strong crypto.

If good guys have unbreakable encryption, bad guys inevitably should also have access to it, and imagine the nefarious things they will do with it! Let's limit everyone to 40-bit RSA. We've had this in 1990s.

There is no way to make technology ethical; technologies are oblivious of human concerns. Ethics should be applied at a different level.

Maybe if you're a local politician, a cop or rich enough for them to know who you are you'll get that kind of service. For everyone else they'll just do nothing or nearly nothing and go back to playing with that APC they don't need.

If they find your car as part of some other crime they'll add another page to the book they're throwing but you don't need a database to do that.

This isn't a study; it's a web comic.
imgcat is very useful for me. Glad they are still maintaining it.
Explicit nonsense is still nonsense. I don't believe that either Bayesian or frequentist approaches are the "one true way"; they are merely tools that help us understand the world, and both approaches have limitations.

I suggest looking at the essay "Beyond Bayesians and Frequentists" by Jacob Steinhardt http://cs.stanford.edu/~jsteinhardt/stats-essay.pdf , who says, "The essential difference between Bayesian and frequentist decision theory is that Bayes makes the additional assumption of a prior... and optimizes for average-case performance rather than worst-case performance. It follows, then, that Bayes is the superior method whenever we can obtain a good prior and when good average-case performance is sufficient. However, if we have no way of obtaining a good prior, or when we need guaranteed performance, frequentist methods are the way to go." The same author also has an essay that tries to explain why Bayesians shouldn't be so confident in their approach: "A Fervent Defense of Frequentist Statistics", 18th Feb 2014, https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/KdwP5i6N4E4q6BGkr/a-fervent-...
Note that the author isn't against Bayesian approaches, but against the dogmatic assumption that frequentist approaches are always worse.

Remote: Preferred

Relocate: Not right now but perhaps in a few months

I'm pretty sure the article says she is a private attorney who gets overload cases. These are all paid by the case so it is in the best interest of the attorney to cut a deal quickly rather than do any kind of investigation or work.
It has little to do with stereotypes about social scientists hating math or misunderstanding p-values.

The current system incentivizes p-hacking. Nobody wants to throw away their work if it doesn't meet the p < 0.05 criterion, especially when their career is on the line.
I'd also be interested in clothing that could reduce injury in the event of an automobile attack, but I suspect many of the solutions would be excessively bulky and thus uncomfortable.

Anticipatory airbags would be really cool if you could get the false positive rate acceptably low.
I’ve been told multiple times that I don’t really have a taste in music, because I listen to a confusing mix of genres.

This is perfect for me. So much more to discover.

Not directly. It starts out doing random shuffling over your existing collection (local mp3s, spotify playlists and spotify saved tracks), and then uses your skipping data to build the model.

If you've got a spotify premium account, it'll use spotify's recommendation API to occasionally mix in new songs based on your current listening session. Presumably their API uses objective metrics.
This is pretty entertaining.
Clicked on the "Play Shareware" button and received a pretty message in a red box: "Request failed with status code 404." That was fun.

Good hand tools are always worth the money.
To me going around with some photos of the guy and looking for him, maybe asking folks around the neighborhood if they know him, searching through mugshots of known criminals in the area for a possible match, maybe posting his picture on their website or on posters seems like exactly the sort of thing police should be doing. Good old fashioned honest police work. I know they have quotas to meet and they could bring in more revenue by ignoring it and just ticketing people for minor shit like traffic offenses but it just seems lazy to say that because a computer can't do all the work for them they have no way to ID someone. Frankly, just by having video you've already done part of their job for them.
P# team at Microsoft | Redmond, WA | Contract | Onsite

The P# team at Microsoft works on enabling developers to write reliable, well-designed and well-tested software through model checking and language integration techniques. The approach is reminiscent of TLA+ like techniques but differs in that the code _is_ the model and developers don't have to write models separate from the implementation. P# explores interesting paths through the state space a program can take and produces reproducible traces which can be used to debug and fix issues in services and distributed systems.

This position will involve a variety of tasks including writing samples and documentation to help P# gain wider adoption, and porting parts of the testing infrastructure to work on .NET core. It will also involve working on novel visualization techniques to aid debugging and comprehension of services and distributed systems.
>there is no normal

I mean, yeah there is? There are 7 billion people on this planet. If you could create some score of peoples intelligence, how they react/respond to people, their normal physical movements and put that into a distribution the autistic people would definitely be on the tail end of the curves.

Sure everyone is different in various ways- but a lot of those differences are very small compared to the differences exhibited by autistic people.

I can give you a direct example- my oldest son has.. something. We had him tested for autism when he was younger and were basically told that yeah there is 'something'. He's not technically autistic, or at least not the level where he needs extreme special stuff, but he does exhibit some of the traits of autistic children, just in a more minor way. So for lack of any better term he is "very slightly autistic". At 7 years old he has an insane memory (closest to "photographic" that I've ever encountered) and seems highly intelligent in some areas (but definitely not in others! it's quite incredible actually to see sometimes..). He has some of the physical traits where he can't really sit still, needs weighted blankets, has some of those unique arm movements of autistic people.. but again fairly subtle. A lot of things to him can be more black/white than gray, because he seems to need to fit everything into a very specific bucket in his mind.

Every teacher he has had, including some which work with the more special ed kids, has said "yeah there is... something different about him".

Now conversely, my younger child I would classify as "normal". Why do I say that? Well.. I worked at co-op preschools with both of my boys for years. I saw lots of kids. And when you see a ton of kids and play/interact with them... I mean yeah there is a normal. Normal is how you would expect someone to behave and interact with. There is a relatively normal way you would expect a 7 year old to respond in various situations, etc.

Anyway- sorry for writing a book. I guess I'm putting off work.. I just found it a bit strange to not accept that, well, most people are actually pretty darn similar while a minority of people are very different. I see it every day in my house!
So weird so many people want to come to the U.S. they're building a way to keep them out.

Other than the background (which apparently can be blurred in some software) this is another main reason for audio-only calls. I should be able to be judged by my words and actions not by what you think my reaction is. That's a huge advantage of working remotely. Most meetings are boring/unnecessary and don't even pertain to most participants. I should be able to work through those or do other things without being negatively judged. Just because some manage decided I should be in a 30-45 minute meeting daily where I participate in about 1-2 minutes max doesn't mean I should have to feign attention the rest of the time. I should be able to take the meeting in bed without lights. Because that is all you're going to get from participants: feigning the emotions that they think they should be having. If you think otherwise, you don't understand human nature and the nature of the master/slave relationship involved in employment. When you as a manager hold someone's livelihood in their hand, thinking that you know what they think about you or about a project or situation based on body language or even speech is naive. My point is to do away with this charade. Employees shouldn't have to act for their managers as they do on-site. That's one of the advantages of being remote. You get the work done and that's all that matters. There are no drinks after work and little non-work bullshit chit chat. People who are into that can save that for their meetup gatherings, actual friends, and maybe a few times a year when the company meets in person (if ever). No wonder there are so many terrible managers if managers think their employees are their friends and that they will get honest reactions out of them. That's so ridiculous.

As for whiteboards, there are plenty of better tools than an actual physical whiteboard and in over half a decade of working remotely, I've never had to or had anyone else in the company use an actual physical, primitive whiteboard.

The new features after the app updated were introduced really well, I thought, especially the try it now button beneath the screenshot of each feature. I probably made an audible but quiet oooh at each of the features and enabled all of them, and already have a couple of ideas for building some work things for the status bar.
I had no idea this was happening in todays world, it is utterly barbaric. To be electrocuting someone constantly throughout their trial, it is so saddening to see society get to this point.

With that kind of money, CMS should have expected lots of submissions, even though the application process itself was pretty involved and required a lot of work.
DA's can actually do a lot to help these kinds of defendants from the DA side, because they can be more lenient, merciful, etc.

The problem sometimes is that the boss DA is still the boss and can just tell any of his assistant DAs to go after people so he looks "tough on crime". So even if all the ADAs are very empathetic, they aren't the ones making every decision.

I've listened to a lot of interviews with DAs and a lot of them actually do want to help these kinds of poor defendants, so they start out as public defenders. But then they realize that the real power is in the DA's office with sentencing and charging and such, so they switch over.
