Afresh | Design, Product, Machine Learning, Backend | San Francisco, CA | Onsite | Visa | Full-Time

Afresh is a Series A startup focused on automating the food supply chain using AI with the ultimate goal of eliminating food waste. In the US, about 40% of all food waste occurs in supermarkets and downstream, largely due to inefficient manual ordering processes. This waste leads to >$80B in economic losses as well as 1.5 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions, which is comparable to the emissions of Japan.

Afresh is commercializing a technology developed as part of a Stanford research project that automates the pen-and-paper processes used by supermarket operators. This technology cuts retail food waste by >50% and dramatically increases the stores' profit margins.

We are founded by a team of Computer Science PhDs, MBAs, designers, and engineers from Stanford, Berkeley, CMU. We're backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's firm (Innovation Endeavors) and the first investors in Instagram, Stitchfix, SoFi, and Heroku (Steve Anderson of Baseline Ventures).

We're growing fast: we're in a partnership with 4 large regional grocers representing 500+ stores and >$10B in revenue. We're also looking for smart, enthusiastic, dependable people interested in applying cutting-edge technology to problems with significant societal impact.

Our open roles are:

- Lead UI/UX Designer
- Lead Product Manager
- Machine Learning Engineer
- Senior Backend Engineer

But in all seriousness I remember trying it out years ago and it worked pretty well. It ended put a bit too complex for what we needed, but I remember being impressed by it.

For chess, there's a PC game Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition

It has narrated step by step tutorials by Josh Waitzkin, it put you in special situations to learn basic tactics like discover attacks, pin or skewer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_tactic).

There are also tutorials for knowing the tiny details about endings with specific pieces, like bishops vs bishops where you have to be very wary of the color of the bishops and position you're in if you'd like to trade, or the importance of the bishops color to stop a pawn, or even the fact that in some situations the column which a pawn is in might determine if the game leads to a stalemate or not (some columns results are not intuitive at first).

As the tutorial advances it starts throwing at you historical games and puts you in control in a given position to make the best move starting with games when josh was a kid, which helps you compare your ability to him as a kid, so if you're also interested in chess history, it's really cool!

> because enough of their quirky or negative experiences with trans women are “just” with autistic people

While I hate to agree with this, it is also my opinion as a transgender woman myself.

I also believe that the percentage of trans people who are also part of the spectrum and who are in online support groups is even higher than 7%.

Often, they are quirky people who have difficulty expressing their opinions, points of view and identity. They often seem rude and frustrated. They are very passionate about the subject of gender identity and will make far-fetched statements and present them as facts. This results in very embarrassing interactions.

Personally, I can't stand their quirks and I often have negative experiences with them. These users will take up all the space and drive other users away.

My favorite Facebook support group is the result of two of these "migrations". The first group was huge and became "unstable", so a few people created a second one. After a while, some of the users from the first group found the second one so a third group was created. This group is set to invitation only and has around twenty users.

Many people approach me as if I was autistic, which I am not and it is frustrating at best.

This is very taboo and most people will not talk about it. You cannot deny support to people on the spectrum, but I wish they had their own spaces.

I would bet that most of the socially awkward encounters people have with trans individuals is just that. It's people interacting with people with autism. Being transgender is about finding and expressing your gender identity. Puberty is always awkward for anyone involved at first but most people grow out of it and become adults and this is no different for a second puberty.

Being stuck in-between, unable to express one's identity in a socially acceptable way is not a symptom of gender dysphoria, it is a symptom of the autistic spectrum disorder.

If people were more aware of this, they could act accordingly. Just because someone is on the spectrum doesn't mean that they are invalid in their trans identity. It simply means that they have their own needs and require a different mindset.

I understand that this is going to come across as very controversial. It is not my goal to belittle anyone and this is merely my anecdotal point of view as someone from within those communities.
The danger I see in it, is that everybody in the database is automatically considered a suspect for any crime in which the database is used.

If the police have to ask people to perform identification, then they have to follow some sort of investigative procedure to arrive at who they ask to perform identification, and who they present to be identified. Of course this has its own problems, but facial recognition databases really ramp those problems up.

Then if you get falsely identified, you’re gonna have to prove it. How much time do you spend every day, not committing crimes, but without an alibi to prove it?
Show HN: Archive of Political Emails – browse/search political emails

One big difference is native support for nested data that's built right into the syntax of the language. Most other SQL implementations allow support for nested data through functions which have non-intuitive syntax.
This is a categorized, searchable collection of fund raising and advocacy emails from people who hold or want to hold political office, political parties, PACs, NGOs, non-profits, and other groups who influence political debates around the world.

While the oldest emails only go back about a month (when I started working on the project), I hope that it develops into something like a Wayback Machine for email advocacy. There's almost no transparency or historical record for emails. It may also be useful for people in public relations and marketing, to see what other people are doing.

A couple cool features:

- View thumbnails of emails. For example, here are emails from candidates for President: https://politicalemails.org/offices/2/messages?page=1&displa...

- Browse by country: https://politicalemails.org/countries

This is still a work in progress, and so there's no FAQ or About page, but it's basically functional.

Every Noise at Once is an ongoing attempt at an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space, based on data tracked and analyzed for 3,294 genres by Spotify as of 2019-07-29. The calibration is fuzzy, but in general down is more organic, up is more mechanical and electric; left is denser and more atmospheric, right is spikier and bouncier.

Front End vs. Back End
IANAL, but as far as I know generally the standard is "is this likely to cause meaningful harm re: pricing/quality to consumers?" See https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-a... for a fair amount of context. Horizontal mergers happen every day in the private markets (like this transaction), and generally they're a good thing: you're likely to get a premium by selling to a strategic rather than a financial investor (e.g. private equity) since they can value synergy. And anyone who's taken an entrepreneurship course knows that having a larger variety of potential high-quality liquidity events incentivizes the creation of new businesses. The problem is when enough of a market is consolidated in a way that might allow the consolidator to adjust pricing in a consumer-hostile way, which isn't touched by this specific transaction.

To your more general question of "how is this not a play at eliminating competition" - consider it more "can we (DoorDash) make more money operating Caviar by finding synergies with our existing infrastructure, than we pay for Caviar based on a model that describes Caviar operating under Square without that benefit?" That's a question of efficiency, not competition, and it's generally a good thing.
You're basically stating the plot line of Minority Report. It's not a good idea.

Wouldn't taxes be able to come down by a commensurate amount?

No, because the “subsidy” is just that some people feel that taxes on fuel should be higher. Nowhere is the price of fuel less than the cost of extracting and refining it, which it would be if it were a true subsidy.

I'd like to know the motivation of the person who downvoted this. I thought that if there's anything we can all agree on it's that it's good to teach 15 year olds how not to get screwed in the real world. Apparently someone disagrees.

>As opposed to the frequentist approach of saying, "We have data D and hypothesis H. If the probability of D when not-H is true is below a threshold, H is true," which hides an awful lot of assumptions.

My textbook (what would be called a frequentist book) is very explicit: You either reject the null hypothesis, or you fail to reject the null hypothesis. A significance level test never concludes that the null hypothesis is true. It's nuanced, but is not quite the same as your statement.
There was a study done on what separates chess masters from beginners. Chess masters and beginners performed equally well on memorization tests. Where they began to separate was pattern recognition - chess masters are really good at pattern recognition.

When I was a beginner I would agonize over every move and drive everyone crazy. Eventually after enough games I started to recognize some patterns. If I were to do it all over again, I would just play as many games as I could, all the way to the end, not worrying too much about winning or losing as much as just absorbing what is happening.

I'm not a chess master, but I did beat a guy with a knight tattooed on his forearm, so that has to count for something :P
What you've said overall makes me think you're hypersensitive to sound - and that if you can afford a ~$50 USD hearing test/audiogram to check for imbalances in your hearing then it'd be worthwhile confirming that; it's not a standard audiogram, you'd have to call around to ask and find out if they know what that is - and is meant for use with Berard's Auditory Integration Training) which then can confirm imbalances. Imbalances showing at certain frequencies is actually just a signal that something is blocked function wise, not processing how it should, as your brain and body is a system of homeostasis that wants to find equilibrium at all times - so it should be able to equalize the perception of sound (save actual damage to the hearing); yes, damage is also a possibility, or both. There's a book on it called "Hearing Equals Behaviour: Updated and Expanded" on Amazon - has original book within it.

Do you remember having ear infections as a child, and were they painful at all?

Re: Falling asleep - what you've said regarding sleep is another proof point to me that you likely have a hearing imbalance. I found the comment on HN I made going into more detail on theory of how it works - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13657973 - and in it I explain why your brain may not be able to actually stop paying attention to sound, which of course - a natural cycle of falling asleep - will have your senses slowly diminish until you're asleep and not not getting strong signals from them, or rather not reacting to them - making it difficult to fall asleep.
There is no soy estrogen link. If there were we'd be seeing an epidemic of hormone based pathologies nearly everywhere. Soy is a staple and has been for centuries and centuries.
When my grandmother's old PC laptop finally died, I got here a chromebook... absolutely bog simple and no virii. After my mom saw it, she switched to one too. IMHO even easier than a mac, though lower support. My other grandmother who lived local (before she passed last year) I had running on linux, with wine for a couple of her mid-90's era games, would stop by and run updates every few months.

Definitely would not suggest windows for non-technical people if you can avoid it. And if you don't need local apps, omg chromebooks are great.

Modia3d.jl: Modeling and Simulation of 3D Systems
Personally I think this is sort of missing the forest for the trees. The big picture is, Mozilla and Google don't like extensions or extension developers. They don't like people customizing their browsers. We see feature after feature drop from being a button in the menu, to being an option in the about:config, to requiring an extension, to requiring manual modification of files, to being entirely disabled.

Look at something as simple as putting the tabs below the address bar. If Mozilla respected their users, it would be as simple as hitting the Customize button and then dragging the tab bar to the bottom. Then they stuck it in an about:config option. Then they required you to make a custom userChrome.css. Now guess what, in the newest version userChrome.css loading is disabled by default and you have to manually turn it back on. How long it will take before it's entirely disabled? I have no idea, but the message from Mozilla is clear: "You can use it the way we want you to or you can go to hell".
I'm listening to Walter Isaacson's biography of Ben Franklin, and climate change reminds me of a more daunting version of the challenge faced by the Constitutional Convention of 1787. One Franklin quote, in particular, stands out in my mind: "Thus I consent, Sir, to this Constitution because I expect no better, and because I am not sure that it is not the best."

This voice of benevolent uncertainty is strangely silent in the conversation on climate change. Every talking head "knows" the answer and speaks prophetically to their followers who already agree. I believe it is this preaching to the choir (by both sides) the keeps progress on hold.

It's worth noting that Franklin was not typical among the delegates at the convention. He was a minority voice of humorous and pragmatic compromise that helped to cool tempers and foster agreement.

If we want to see action on climate change promptly, we need both sides to cede a bit of certainty and humor their opponents. A climate change skeptic can get on board with solar and EVs (see Ford prototype pulling a train). Likewise, a climate advocate can get on board with geoengineering as an essential tool that caters to who we are rather than who we should be.

Carbon awareness has backfired, becoming so widely conversational that both sides have advocates with strong opinions that don't know a thing. I'm too damn naive to figure out what the middle path is, but it's there, and I believe we'll find it. However, we may find it more suitable to kill off our ideological enemies in war, being fought openly or prosecuted through a justice system coopted by a radical majority.

Sadly, I see each side fantasizing about absolute power. Wouldn't it be great to cut down and bury the deniers in shallow graves? Wouldn't it be great to see those tree-huggers hang from their beloved trees?

I don't want this. It horrifies me.

No matter how you look at it, humanity will need to perform a daring escape. Why not solve our problems with the same ingenuity that got us here in the first place? It sure as hell won't be my ingenuity, but with the right public conversations, we may be able to cultivate it sooner than later.
>The Chrome Web Store and the Microsoft Store do not offer features for supporting extension developers.

That doesn't seem right - doesn't Google let developers monetize extensions in the chrome web store?

You can publish Hosted Apps, Chrome Apps, Chrome
Extensions, and Themes in the Chrome Web Store.
Collectively these are called simply "Items". You have
many choices when it comes to making money from items
that you publish in the Chrome Web Store. This page
covers just a few ways to monetize your store item:

- In-app payments
- One-time charge
- Subscription
- Offering a limited trial version of your item

The issue of developers selling out their chrome extensions to 3P (that the author references) probably has more to do with the fact that bad actors get better money for harvesting user PII than the developer would if they maintained the extension as it was originally meant to be. This is a real privacy issue, but it's also why Chrome cracked down on extension APIs recently by restricting what is shared with the extension.
