Grubhub | Data Science | Remote | Full Time

My team at Grubhub is looking to hire a data scientist / machine learning engineer to help with our delivery forecasting product. We’re responsible for generating forecasts for all of our regions orders. The job is open to remote and the rest of the team is all remote too: https://social.icims.com/viewjob/pt156994215518433cad

Here are slides from a recent presentation I did at PyColorado about some of the stuff we’re working on: https://www.slideshare.net/williamccox/dask-and-machine-lear...
No, "most reporting" is certainly not "based on opinions." The only acceptable "opinions" expressed in straight reporting are the opinions of the people in the story i.e the subjects. To do otherwise is known as "editorializing" and has no place in a straight news story.

Newspapers have their own section for expressing the opinions of a writer and they are clearly labeled Editorial or OpEd.

It's bizarre to me that you want to be critical yet seem to lack a fundamental understanding of the thing you are being critical of.
There are plenty of examples of the US army (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan), and US controled dictators forces (Cuba) being beaten or stalemated by guerilla forces. Depending on how widespread and committed a revolution was, they could have a very good chance imo. Also if the revolution is extremely popular, then elements of the army will side with them.

> This is why we have the second amendment.

No, we have the second amendment as a safeguard against the government, at the state or federal level, relying on a separated class of professional armed personnel for internal and/or external security, with the idea that by retaining the capacity for the mass of the citizenry to be mobilized for that function, political pressure from the citizenry will be sufficient to avoid professionalization of more than a small cadre. In this way, tyranny would be prevented because you can't have a tyrant supported by the armed forces against the general citizenry when the armed forces and the general citizenry are exactly coextensive, and the armaments of the armed forces, while standardized by government, are held by the citizenry at large.

The second amendment was not created so that the amateurs with small arms would serve as a counterbalance against professional, better equipped troops of the standing army and internal security services. That's just a more recent rationalization by people who like to play with guns and fantasize aboit fighting off tyranny, but who either fetishize the professional forces and their separate authoritarian culture that the founders feared, or who just can't be arsed to do the boring work of a militia that is the primary security services of the state, or—frequently—who have both of those features simultaneously.

The Confederate generals surrendered to keep the country from endless guerilla warfare. This is why the Confederates weren't executed for treason, etc, because everyone wanted to end the fighting at that point.
Thanks for the respectful discourse. I appreciate the civility.
Here you go:

(function () {
var els = document.getElementsByTagName("li");
var startups = ["A web-based platform", "An AI-powered platform", "Uber for",
"Subscription-based service", "Blockchain", "A folder that syncs"]
for(var i = 4 ; i < els.length ; ++i) {
els[i].innerText = startups[Math.floor(Math.random() * startups.length)] + " for people who " + els[i].innerText;
}})()

Paste it into dev console on that page to receive an instant list of proper startup ideas.

The code is GPLv3, and can be trivially modified to generate further interesting startup ideas.

Do you have citations for that? I'm interested and couldn't find convincing sources
>As a practical matter, of course we grant humans rights. If you're speaking philosophically, you would have to make the case that there is some morally relevant difference between humans and non-humans. I have yet to see anyone make a compelling case for that, but feel free to try.

Interesting how you assume you can dismiss thousands of years of human law / natural law in one sentence.

>You still haven't actually addressed anything I've said and declaring animals and plants are food is a descriptive statement, not a normative one.

Plants and animals are food for humans. This is a factual statement.

>And Granny was wrong.

The older I get the less I believe that. Would be an interesting experiment to put someone in an RV trailer with a cow, plenty of water and no food in an area they couldn't leave. Come back in a month and see what they thought about animal rights.

People are too separated from their food supplies aka have it too good.

Again, if "letting go" entails reducing shipping by orders of magnitude, then that is not something society is going to accept. People would go to war before suffering the economic devastation that would bring. If people need to let go of something, let's start with the phobia of nuclear maritime propulsion.

Not sure that reasoning flies.

Many more customers would be on gitlab if regional pricing exists. The profit number would go down though.

More candidates would apply to work for gitlab without the policy.

In both cases gitlab makes more money. Which is fine but spinning it doesn't seem right.
Except the US military doesn't just have superior weaponry. It also has superior training, superior discipline, superior logistics, superior intelligence, superior force projection capability, superior everything.

Unlike the Taliban or the Viet Cong, the US citizenry, even armed, would be like chaff.

I care deeply if something has been copy/pasted, but not for attribution reasons. I need to be certain the person who copy/pasted the code actually understands what the code does, rather than blindly grabbing the first result off of SO and exposing the codebase to vulnerabilities.
He may be interested in devices which can connect to a phone via bluetooth and to amps via standard audio cables. They basically turn any old amp/speakers setup into a wireless streaming one, and they work quite well.
Meh. HN points are pretty meaningless. I have way more than 17000 and I am still a nobody. I wouldn't put much stock in it.
The fact the US is a pretty dysfunctional state by first world standards is also a factor. But you shouldn't oppose EU regulations because you don't trust the US government, that's just silly.

> Starting with CO2 sounds like it would require an obscene amount of electricity though.

It could still be worth it, depending on how/when it was made and how it interacted with the grid. There's an increasing problem right now of too much solar supply during the day and not enough power storage; projects like this could be used to soak up excess power and it would still come out carbon-neutral.

Yes, really, yes. It isn't nitpicking when you're simply wrong. Via's are vertical interconnects between layers, they can be 'blind' vias which do not connect to either top or bottom layers or regular ones.

> The US is not a democracy

The United States is a democracy. Democracy does not mean only direct democracy. Representative democracy, democratic republics, and federalism are forms of government compatible with democracy.

I have 3 sonos units - two of their speakers and one "amp" which drives in ceiling speakers.

The hardware is great, but their constant software updates are TERRIBLE!

I would never a product from them again and I tell everybody who comments / asks on our home set-up the same thing.

Want to play music but they want you to update? Guess what? No option but to update right away.

The app consistently changes UX and REMOVES functionality making it extremely frustrating.

Feels like a company that is in harvest mode and driving towards irrelevance.

The 2nd amendment is effectively a lifestyle hobby.

We are very, very far away from a civil war or anything resembling what is going to happen in Hong Kong. But if things do ever start to skid in the wrong direction, we'll end up doing the same thing that others have done.

Put up a fight with or without "militias", and then after it's crushed, when the economy collapses, money is worthless, and crazed libertarian warlords rule the land... mass migration. The irony will not be lost on latin America.

Author of Facebook's Content Rules Calls Exemptions for Politicians ‘Cowardice’
I'm not necessary criticizing, but it's a bit sad that most popular search engine turned to be manipulation and persuasion machine. I no longer thing about it as search engine, more like "what's trendy network", BUT I recognize that Google Search belongs to google and google is a business, and business does what's most profitable! That's good for them, not necessary for us, I personally almost never use google search, but I use android with google account, just because duck duck go is better search engine and google android is really comfortable.
> With kanji you can't even try.

I don't want to defend kanji/hanzi as a writing system. It's also in debt to history in a crazy way. But as a non-native reader of Japanese, you can often figure out the pronunciation and meaning of unfamiliar characters based on how they look. A large majority, maybe 90%, of characters have a meaning-part and sound-part, and once you know the common roots, you can get pretty far by just looking at things. You can also move to Korean and Cantonese pretty easily because those preserved the pronunciations of old Chinese pretty well. Ironically, Mandarin did a pretty bad job of preserving old Chinese, so it's harder to match up.

E.g. 楽 (music) is old Chinese nguk, Japanese gaku, Cantonese ngok, Korean ak, and Mandarin yue(??).

Likely because no pressure is felt to put out a 1.0. The people that use it know what it is, and don't care that it's not 1.0 or above. It has constant, if low-velocity, development and bug-fixing going on[1] with 28 releases in over 20 years. PuTTY is a known quantity, I doubt anyone is trying to game the marketing to gain usage. For some people, that's a feature.

The social media problem is multi fold..

Facebook - While i need to check my friends's life events and keep a tab on what they are up to, i dont want to see the constant tirade of posts regarding their political views.. How ya'll are handling friends with crazy political extremist thoughts, completely ignore those areas ? try to make them sane?

Twitter is even worse, so stopped posting all together and limited my time only to like few tweets .

Alternative to Twitter is Reddit, which you can scroll through for few laughs and that itself will become an addiction.

Finally, i think we need social media at the same time we dont need social media, no amount of filtering and altering the news feed can put us in a place of what we want to see.. So..
This might sound alarmist, but do you think China is the biggest upcoming global problem after climate change? For two reasons:

1. China has a totalitarian ruling system. They intend to realize George Orwell's 1984.

2. Present-day China essentially has no ethics. Take the US in comparison. No matter how perverse the people in power become and even if they do messed up things, the US has some founding morals and principles they do not forget. China, in comparison, systematically rooted out these values since the Great Leap Forward. The happenings at Hong Kong and Xinjiang epitomize that.

I do think China's expansionist policy bodes poorly for all of humanity.
> If you asked people in Britain or in the US a generation ago what book they had in their house, the most common answers would have been a Bible and a telephone book. So when we blame the absence of printed books for the distraction and the impatience and superficiality of the digital world, it’s unfair. We’re comparing an ideal scenario of print reading with a more realistic assessment of digital reading.

Sure, those might have been the most common answer to the question of "what books do you have in your home?", but that does not mean that people didn't also have/read other books. It just means that the n-dimensional venn diagram of book ownership centered around the Bible and the phone book. It's obvious that most of the books that I own are not the same as most of the books that my neighbors own, so those (more traditional) "books" wouldn't be the most common answers to this particular question.

Courts don't decide policy, they interpret the law.
Maybe I'm an outlier, but I was never seeing news like that when I had Facebook. Instead I was bombarded with videos (usually "suggested by facebook") in between ads for things I had searched for days prior.

I almost think it's my own fault as I never interacted with those posts about friends having kids or getting new jobs (at least not on Facebook), so I wonder if the algorithms just showed me less and less of my own friends content. If it matters I only ever looked at FB through the mobile web browser - I didn't have the app and never looked at it on my computer.
Or voat, the refuge for communities banned from Reddit.
Author here. Thanks for waiting.

It's 5,000 words and 2,000 lines of javascript, plus a few fair-size images, which may explain the long TTFB. But most of the delay is not bandwidth limits but PHP and SQL. The site runs on a creaky WordPress implementation. Someday I'll fix that, if I live so long.
As an Android user, this is super annoying: I rooted the device because I want to control it. Now some stupid app comes along and claims that, for my own protection (supposedly), they're going to break for me. It's insulting, really.
Pure convenience here. Sure, 20 year old me would hate me for putting cloud connected smart speakers in my home but I'm not 20 anymore and available time was replaced by available money. I honestly looked and would have paid more for a fully local speech to text hub with basic apps and a nice API but there simply wasn't anything that looked like it wouldn't annoy the living hell out of me. I don't want to setup raspberry pis around my house, maintain and update weird open source stacks and whatnot. I want to stream stuff to speakers, control devices around the house through voice and sometimes use other convenience functions.

Fully realizing the hit on privacy, I understand the thing enough and, more importantly, trust my particular manufacturer enough that it simply outweighs that concern for me.
