DataGrail | Senior / Software Engineer | San Francisco, CA | $130k - $180k + equity | Onsite

Help us build a data privacy platform.

Data privacy and data protection should be a no-brainer, but the reality is that many organizations are ill-prepared to give consumers more transparency and control over their personal data.

We're building a SaaS that integrates with other services, data lakes (s3 + json/parquet/orc/etc) and data warehouses (redshift, snowflake, etc) to easily access, delete and/or anonymize data.. and more.

We have paying customers and a very healthy sales pipeline.

Our stack (and growing):
* aws (codepipeline, rds, kinesis, athena, etc)

* ruby/rails, react, python, go

* postgres, redis, s3

* experience with data engineering or data science a plus.

A hamburger from any restaurant is going to be at least 20% fat not counting the cheese, roughly equivalent to a typical sausage or bacon. The high fat content and "red meat" aspect with accompanying saturated fat, cholesterol etc., have led many to believe that hamburgers are unhealthy. Is this up-to-date with evolving nutrition wisdom? Maybe not.
Android 10: Just the way you want it
correct, but I don't know how large these are typically, an anecdote: I visited a friend who had a lamp socket (with shade) above his desk, and he was complaining about the fluorescent bulb he put in, in comparison with the resistive filament bulbs he usually put in: it was ticking even though the switch in the wall was turned off. At first I suspected a bad contact, but that didn't really make sense. Then I realized what was probably happening: capacitive leakage, so I ask if the socket has 2 switches? sure enough. the distance between the switches was long enough so that the parallel wires embedded in the wall effectively formed a long capacitor, so in both of the off states AC current was flowing through this unintentional capacitor. AC will also have inductive losses yes.
Just one example from the post is microcontrollers. There's an implementation for Arduino.
Which would be a ridiculous use case. Everything is deadly at a high enough dose. No one in their right mind is vaping pure nicotine. It could kill you via skin absorption alone.
Not OP, but it makes sense. A lot of investors hear about an asset going up and they want to join the party. A lot of the other investors try to predict where the emotional investors will go and buy the asset in anticipation.
That's usually the first question we get from so many folks. From the surface, it doesn't look like an ML problem but here are some of the places where ML is needed. Given a company:

- What color scheme to use? We generate this using machine learning (random forests)

- What fonts combinations to use (We are trying to do this using font embeddings)

- What icon to select given the company name and description (We use word embeddings right now for this. We are also going to use Conv Nets and Auto Encoders to get better icon representations).

- Out of the hundreds of logos we generate using genetic algorithms, which ones to show to user? (This is an image classification problem and we're working on using Conv Nets here).

These are just some of the aspects where we are applying ML. Some of the features are being used and some are being developed.

Please let me know if you have any other questions. Happy to chat more about this.

I haven't personally done the math but one of the articles I read (Scientific American?) mentioned that 1 error an hour makes you basically at the break even level. Higher error rates brought the house advantage _higher_ than non-counting methods. Is this incorrect?

I can't speak to the OP's performance, but Snowplow[1] may be good for your use. It's a bit more general purpose than just pure web analytics, and doesn't come with the reporting interface. But as far as the data collection and storage at scale aspect, it's fantastic.

A nice feature that should be standard:

>> "The Block Autoplay feature is enhanced to give users the option to block any video that automatically starts playing, not just those that automatically play with sound."

One time I hit a site with a huge anti-ad block message at the top that said I couldn't watch the video until I disabled my adblocker. But...I came for an article. The article wasn't obstructed. I assume the video was auto-playing. I decided to go back and try another result.

Stuff breaks when it is hacked.

State actors are now targeting whole populations. It takes less and less time to enumerate the entire IPv4 address space. Knowledge about hacking is becoming more and more accessible to a larger group of people. This problem is not going away - it is growing larger for every year.

If you don't believe me: Just attach an object to the internet and watch the logs.
I live in MI and have had several friends go to U of M. I really question that "10 minute commute to work". When college season starts AA gets really crowded and commute times lengthen considerably. AA is one of the most expensive cities in MI, but it's still much cheaper than SF / NYC.

Most average developer positions in MI are around 60 - 80k for juniors, 100 - 120k for seniors.

This position might be great for someone who wants to complete a master's program, oftentimes colleges will offer free tuition as part of your comp.
Yeah, I have a V550 and it's a pain to use. Slow to load, slow to scan, and dust is incredibly apparent. Then you have to go through and process the negatives. I honestly prefer wet printing with the enlarger; once you've got the baths set up, it's quicker per image than scanning & processing!

There is nothing safe about controlled explosions, ever. Burying waste in a mountain sounds like a much more controlled disposal plan.
+1 on cherry clears. I recently switch from typing on WalMart keyboards at home and Mac keyboard at work to using a Code keyboard with clear switches. By God typing is such a wonderful experience now, and the noise isn’t worse than the WalMart keyboards. granted it’s not as quite as the Mac keyboards that are so thin, but it just feels day and night different (better).
It's just a lame excuse really, such a change not improve performance in any noticeable way.

I fear the change is just to take away this important customization option in the future and I don't like it.

This again; is there seriously anyone who ate these things and thinks they are healthy? Or anyone who eats burgers and thinks they are healthy? As vegetarian I like them once a month and it would be great if they were extremely good for us; I think we will get there, but for now; if you bake one, smell one, feel one; it definitely does justice to the original; it feels fatty and unhealthy. Which is great as it is better for the world, but healthy, nah.

You're right. I bought a $250 Leopold FC660C to combat repetitive strain injury, because my doctor said to minimize the distance between the home row and my mouse pad. But most less-expensive 60% ("ten key-less") boards either lack arrow keys or have obnoxious, loud switches. These weren't feasible because I use arrow keys all the time for Visual Studio and I work in open-office hell. The Leopold has quiet Topre switches.

I'd buy a $15 keyboard in a heartbeat if it wouldn't hurt my wrists. But for me, the Leopold is a medical device. I would have paid twice as much for it, which has nothing to do with the key switches at all.

In fact, I did pay 2x for it because I bought one for my home system as well.

The Squarespace Machine Learning team is growing! We source projects from all over the company, ranging from direct integrations of NLP & computer vision into our products to behind-the-scenes services that improve efficiency in our customer help center. Our team prizes stakeholder-focused development of research and project deliverables while also taking time out for reading groups, conference attendance and Hack Week projects that pursue educational and research goals.

The ML team uses a Python-focused development stack with all the usual ML and data processing libraries. We have a framework for rapidly deploying our models behind lightweight Flask web applications in a managed Kubernetes environment and to thrive in our team you should enjoy the full range of backend engineering tasks that go along with this. You won't be developing ML models in isolation, but instead demonstrating leadership and ownership over deployment strategies, architecture choices to solve cold-start problems, defining observability and monitoring strategies and working with stakeholders to define validation metrics that don't merely represent statistical considerations like overfitting or precision & recall but go further to develop holistic understanding of model success in a broader product development context.

We are seeking a senior machine learning engineer with a highly developed skill set in software engineering, architectural design and experience mentoring junior engineers and collaborating with multiple stakeholders to deliver projects. You should be skilled in the application of machine learning both on the statistics side and the backend engineering side and comfortable moving between the two sets of responsibilities as the situation demands. We welcome applicants with experience in any variety of machine learning or applied statistics context (e.g. quant finance, time series analysis, audio processing, etc.), though the candidate should show an enthusiasm for information retrieval, search and recommendation, and computer vision models because these are at the forefront of what we do.

Squarespace offers highly competitive compensation and exceptional benefits & work life balance. In this role you can also expect a high degree of autonomy to help lead choices in ML technology investment and data set curation to set up Squarespace for future success.

Antobacus Capsule
Alcohol addiction is a very common problem in our culture today.

Hashmi Herbal cures developed unani medicine Antobacus to leave, Wine, Rum, Caffeine and whiskey, Tobacco Gutkha Completely. Various research studies, conclusively point out to very convincing evidence that the wine in moderate quantity (around 8 oz or 240 ml) is extremely beneficial for health. Wine inhibits the growth of all microorganisms that cause several known diseases. The alcohol content in the wine hinders the growth of these organisms and they simply die in wine.One drink is considered to be 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of spirits (hard liquor). Each of these contains about 12 to 14 grams of alcohol. The active ingredient in alcoholic beverages is ethanol, a molecule that directly affects the stomach, brain, heart, gall bladder and liver. It also affects levels of lipids and insulin in the blood.

> The network panel will now show blocked resources

Good! I remember losing quite some time before I realised something wasn't in the network tab because it never fired rather than failing to be triggered by the application code.
> I'm leaning towards the same school of thought. I'd rather see this tech widely accessible and hence all video/picture material henceforth considered completely untrustworthy, than living in the misguided notion that video evidence is trustworthy.

This is why I am all for the current hype and the apps. Everyone that has access to electronic media should now that videos are now more easily to manipulate than ever. This undermines the attack vector of supporting fake news with fake videos. (At least it should, I do not know about the psychological side of it. Maybe even knowledge of a video's falsehood does not diminish its impact that much. Still I think it is best to make video fakeability common knowledge.)
I just observed one day that it was turned on. I don't recall when, but I do recall where. I was on the I-15 driving north from the Lake Elsinore area towards Corona and saw a weird icon on the map. Had my wife check it out and we learned that it was speed trap notifications.
Since this has gotten to the point where we need to be precise with the language: they are not the tools for eliminating the existence of bias. They are tools for countering the effect of bias in particular instances.

Résumé/CV: https://github.com/gustavo-roganti/about-me

Email: gustavo.roganti@gmail.com

I worked for several web agencies in Europe, now I am living in beautiful Ubatuba, Brazil.

I worked as a Full Stack Web Developer, using PHP and JavaScript. I also did a few UX designs and I worked in a development support team.
I might be wrong, but last time I visited the US (coming from Europe) I couldn't find in Whole Foods _fresh _ veggie patties.

Those are kept in the fridge, not in the freezer. They are somewhat processed, but surely not as heavily as BM/Impossble.

Seems a nice middle ground. Not as intense as meat / meat imitations, but I'm quite sure they are healthy (given their relative simplicity) and provide sufficient protein.

Have consumed them non-stop over 6 years, and I've kept myself in shape and energetic.

Here are some examples https://www.vegetalia.com/categoria-producto/vegeburgers/
Stateless | Boulder, CO | Onsite | stateless.net

Stateless is on a mission to reinvent network connectivity. Central to that was our initial innovation, where we demonstrated an ability to efficiently decouple state from processing in network functions—a task deemed infeasible in high-performance networking systems, but in doing so, we have opened the door for fundamentally changing how networks are built. Now, we are building the product around that vision. VCs have backed us, and early adopters have validated the business opportunity.

We are hiring for a variety of roles: from C++ and Kotlin developers to sales and support engineers.

It’s gonna have to be better than a blue check mark.

A blue check mark only says this account/person has our imprimatur. Nothing more.

There are people who don’t have who are better disseminators than those who have them.

That would be terrible. Basically it would turn media into versions of Xinhua or former Pravda. Only approved voices and opinions get the “authenticity” mark.

ezInvoice 6 is the latest version of our "ezInvoice" web app.

This version is a single page, offline first, app that runs on most any platform.

Our focus for this version has been to keep it simple, fast, and reliable. You can check out the demo version here:

https://ezinvoice.com/ez6/demo.html

The demo allows you to create, save, edit, delete, and print invoices. It includes a fully featured "Contacts" app and a "Products/Services" manager that "fast-fills" your invoices to make it faster and easier than ever to get your billing done.

The full version uses CouchDB on the backend so you can use it on as many desktop PCs and mobile devices as you want and "Live Sync" to keep them all synced up with your latest data.

And you can install CouchDB on your desktop PC and create backups and snapshots of all your data in-house and/or offsite.
I’ve used many different keyboards. I can’t say I’m a keyboard connoisseur, but I’ve probably used every possible combination of “keys” arranged on a “board”. My takeaway from all this is that the switches matter a lot less than how keys are arranged. You see, human hands will become injured over a prolonged period of contortion into the shape needed to operate standard keyboards. For this reason I prefer ErgoDox. https://ergodox-ez.com/
The food delivery apps abuse the restaurants. I even read news reports that the apps had the restros pay the app's bills even though the app was wrong!
