Sisu Data | Software Engineers | San Francisco | https://sisudata.com/product/

A bit about Sisu: We're developing a new kind of analytics platform that is faster, more comprehensive and continuously analyzing data so businesses can track KPIs more effectively.
The technology builds on years of research by CEO Peter Bailis and his team at the Stanford DAWN project. The key problem Sisu solves is to help identify what’s driving change among this enormous feature and hypothesis space. To do so, we combine statistical analysis and machine learning at scale to provide users personalized, real-time diagnoses of changes in their metrics via an explainable, interpretable user interface. At the end of last year, we announced our $52M Series B led by NEA (total of $66M), with Ben Horowitz (A16Z), and Pete Sonsini (NEA) on the Board.

We're still relatively small (~20 in eng) so you would drive greenfield products at a large scale.

Open Positions:

- Senior Software Engineer - Database Engineering: our backend is the top half of a database engine, a query processor that's optimized hypothesis testing at a large scale with speeds of millions of records faster than any other system. The most relevant experience is someone who has built a database. Our backend is built in Rust.

- Senior Front End Engineer - We’re looking for a subject matter expert in Typescript / React / Redux to shape the future of Sisu’s product interface - a web application that our customers will rely on to “get the facts” to make data driven decisions. You’ll have the opportunity to work on technical challenges including developing our information architecture and solving unique problems, including how to represent statistical data in a digestible way to end users of various knowledge levels.

https://jobs.lever.co/sisu/aa8bf8a9-9655-4777-8aeb-c96b8fe3c...

- Machine Learning Engineer - You will be responsible for investigating and developing state-of-the-art algorithms in Sisu’s large-scale streaming structured data context. ML engineers at Sisu deliver their features end-to-end, from Jupyter notebook prototypes to production in Rust.

He adds humour in his narration, which includes world events sometimes, but he's extremely nuanced.

The only political video I've seen of him is the recent video he did with other youtubers asking people to vote, that's all, there was no mention of any party and in-fact someone in the video explicitly said 'vote for anyone, but please vote'[1].

Unfortunately, asking people to vote is seen as a threat by one side of the political spectrum; however foolish that is in a democratic country.

There's nothing that indicates any of these were committed by right wing people. The first article is based on a study surveying 13-17 year olds and mentions some legislation, but no sexual assault that I can see.

Two drunk women, no evidence they are right wing or support any specific ideology.

And so on.

Individual acts of violence are not the same as an authoritarian regime, like the current left wing mob.
Tech Lead is walking meme who rarely offers good advice, most of which should be taken with a grain of salt. His life is currently a mess: He's divorced and has been recently been accused of doxxing YouTubers and other people who criticize his work.

I use a Permobil F3 with a lot of additions. The price I mentioned is the insurance price in the US and in many cases self-pay will bring it down but it's often still prohibitively expensive. I had to self-pay for an add-on on my current chair and that was $2400 itself. Oftentimes in the US, manufacturers will only sell products through a licensed DME so you have to pay a markup there too.
Wouldn't that be a job for the police? Their job is (lest we forget it) to prevent crime and enforce the law.
Been there. Those who assume or are hubristic enough to think they know enough can be dangerous.
i think its a fair question and you've been very polite about it :)

I basically deal with it by being super open about it (it's pretty much the first thing anyone knows about me) and letting people decide if they still want to read me or not. enough do. in a free market, that's plenty.

so the question then becomes: what confidence do I have in what I think I know? it comes from 3 places:

- Empirical foundation: study and read others. this book has 1419 external links and quotes to advice from people way more credible and established than me. I provide curation and context.

- Theoretical foundation: I do my best to ensure what i see in real life is backed up by indisputable logical/psychological axioms. This is important for replicability.

- Personal Experience: I apply what I learn to myself.

Every weakness can be a strength (funny enough, i spend a whole chapter talking about this). In my case, i've basically made a career out of putting out what i learn as i learn it, before i'm an expert, with the responsible disclaimer that I am not an expert but I do put a ton of work into thinking and research. it's the opposite of "fake it til you make it", its being real that you havent made it yet but you do not let that stop you trying. I am at the exact point where my voice and perspective on things (being a recent beginner) let me explain things to beginners in ways that experts can't.

Yes it's uncomfortable af. But you see tremendous growth when you are both intellectually honest and doggedly persistent at this.

As I wrote this book I was also overcome with this personal insight - me 5 years from now would probably not pick this book to write. I would be interested in different things, different challenges. This is pretty much the only time I would ever write a junior-dev-to-senior-dev book: right after having done it.

I suspect this is why so few junior-dev-to-senior-dev books exist - people wait too long, and then by the time they feel qualified to write a book, they care more about management or architecture or what have you.

short answer: no i don't feel very qualified right now. i do intend to update this for a few years. how long until i am qualified? we shall see.
I agree with what your saying in general, but this isn't really an instance of someone being taken down. I read it like when one of us normal folks deletes our social media accounts for mental health. Twitter seems like a toxic environment, but it didn't silence him any more than getting sick of the constant weird reality distortion on facebook made me delete mine. It just got toxic enough for him to decide to shut up.

The distinction matters because sometimes people not aligned with the zeitgeist do face serious consequences like being fired, receiving violent threats, etc.
I think you have a typo, "autprotocol" instead of "autoprotocol".
Right, so violence against trans folk is totally left-wing. There's never been anybody encouraging violence against trans folk as part of right-wing ideology. Got it.

Many individual acts over time can be worse than a single instance of violence that affects many, you realise?
> Hong Kong imported around $264bn of products from China.

HK has a trade tax loophole with the US that Trump is cancelling, just like the postal subsidy. #MAGA

The majority of the community in question, as clearly indicated by that statement.

This might be shocking to a white supremacist, but the majority of the world is not white.
The article talks about the airline focusing on shorter routes and cutting the longer routes that they were losing money on. Even if the airline doesn't go through bankruptcy the long haul routes at the same price will probably no longer be around.

"However, with the scheduled flights gradually resuming, the airline is restructuring its fleet and focusing on short- and medium-range destinations. Europe’s fourth-largest low-cost carrier will likely completely discontinue the long-haul flights that sank the company into debt."
My complaint is that these corporations get wide legal protections because they claim to be an open platform. In reality there are ideologs within them that exert editorial control by exalting (by promoted content channels) or deriding by means of either outright banning or vote manipulation of speech. If they were publishers, I am fine with such behavior. Since they derive monetary benefit from the wide legal birth, I decry them openly as tinpot dictators.
> Especially since the water and food from Hong Kong are basically supplied from the mainland.

Hong Kong used to have a desalination plant. The British closed it because importing water from PRC was cheaper. Instead, they could have expanded desalination for water self-reliance, and built nuclear power stations to produce electricity to power it. But the UK wasn’t willing to make that investment.
In this video you will see 70 lighters vs. fire
It turns out they don't; they really want to meet their benchmarks, and trade where the liquidity is.

One data point - 40% of the French stock exchange's turnover is now in the closing auction. Other markets have a similar trend. Longer trading hours mean thinner liquidity throughout the day, and the direction of travel in Europe is strongly towards shorter trading hours.
This is great! I can imagine this repository will be quite popular as it feeds into the developers ego (including mine).
I wonder how much development is not fueled by ideals about giving back but instead about chasing stars.

Edit: Removed already, I did wonder how Github would allow this!
Reminds me of this passage from Cory Doctorow's book Walkaway:

"You realize that they're exactly right," Sita said. She smiled, stopped. "You know, when the first walkaway prostheses project started, most of the people contributing had lost an arm or a leg in Belarus or Oman, and were tired of paying loan sharks for something that hurt and barely worked and could be remotely repossessed by an over-the-air kill-switch if they missed a payment. But once they got here and started living, realized how much had been left on the table by conservative companies that didn't want to get into a patent fight and didn't see any reason to add advanced functionality to something that you didn't have any choice about, they got radicalized.

"They stopped saying 'I just want to make an arm that'll get through the day,' and started saying 'I want an arm that does everything my old arm did.' From there, it was a short step to 'I want an arm that's better than my old arm.' And from there, it was an even shorter step to 'I want an arm that's so outrageously awesome that you'll cut off your own to get one.'
Hongkong looks somewhat British in some aspects but not many. I think the main culture gap is that HK has kept a traditional Chinese culture that was swept away on the mainland.

> like HSBC

The name which means the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Company. A bank founded in China (Hongkong) by the British.
I wondered why google glass was canned, and I wondered if there was worries a bout liability for eyesight problems. I can imagine poorly matched AR could damage your eyes over time, in a way I suspect monitors currently do.
I sez, "other variables + race makes better predictions of default risk than other variables alone". U sez, "LOL -only- using race will cost banks money" I sez, "???"
The UK running HK in the first place was stealing from China. They originally got it as part of the peace settlement from the Opium Wars, then signed the 99-year lease later when the Qing empire was in terminal decline and unable to resist.
It's also not a good deal for the kids who do not get to see their father.

How much success have you had? Not trying to be snarky - but the problem in corporates is there are no "lag indicators" of success. The success of a manager is defined as getting to a specific cost structure, there is no measure if that cost structure delivers the results. And in a lot of big corporations what's good for your career and what's good for the company may not be the same thing.
> The URL blocking for the major part is ordered by courts and not the government

I can't speak to TRAI and DOT involvement, but the statement that courts are not part of the "government" is an over-technical definition centered around Parliamentary technicalities that happen to use the word, and of limited utility here. The courts are very much part of the apparatus which governs the people of a nation.
Do yourself a favor and stop propping up his crap
If the dad stays an astronaut, he will get lost in space once China finishes engulfing HK. I don't think HKers are going to be as worried about reducing their tax rates as staying free right now..
Indeed, and if someone has root at rsync.net, then it is game over.

However, if they were shipping to tape and used an offsite tape storage facility, then it is just a matter of time to get the tapes loaded. I'll settle for that.

ZFS is a really good FS. Really, really good. Archives should be offsite and disconnected, though.
See, to me that sounds like RPi is the only board with a working software ecosystem, active contributors, and available source code to help get your project done.

But that's not really the case.
In 1983/86 not much was delivered over BBS, it was almost all floppy based. The 1.44 was around 50kbyte/sec, so it took a while before people generally had broadband that would match that.

However, a BBS didn't do a bad job with interfaces. I remember pcboard or iniquity which had reasonably good interfaces, you could often type what you wanted rather than navigate the menu system.

What about phone calls from browsers, last time I looked at Teams it consumed around 250MB for the one process tab funnelling voice traffic.

Also, most TUI interfaces don't suffer the way that the post describes, aside from vi itself, I don't remember much in the years gone by that is as fast as vim to work with, though, it has accumulated some timber since.
Yes, some of it is. Whether you want to believe it or not. One such instance is the GenderCritical subreddit which was recently banned: https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2020/06/29/reddit-bann-transphobi...
"Seriously" is the word which constantly triggers Siri for me. I feel your pain.
Quibble: "Stay safe, wear a helmet", in a video full of action with no helmets.

I like the product, though. Seems like good people trying to do a good thing.
Driving the front wheels is more complicated because the front axis is used for steering (it might be easier to go for two motors there, and, if you go there, 4 identical motors might be the better choice for maintenance/repairability).

I think you also would need to guarantee that both engines are aiming for (about) the same speed, even in corners or when tire pressure changes. That might require something technically similar to ABS.

Also, does this have a differential on the back axis? I couldn’t spot it, but that may be because I don’t know what they can look like on these relatively low-powered devices.
I really feel like powershell is underrated in the silicon valley ecosystem. I just had my work computer switched from mac to win10 and am so glad to have powershell back at the handy.
Yeah but if I'm going to sit on something for 14 hours of the day for every day of my life it better be comfortable and not give me pressure sores. Also my level of injury necessitates lots of additions.

August Health | Front End Engineer, HTML+CSS Guru | San Francisco or REMOTE | Full time

We're working on a new company to improve how people age in our country.

A demographic "perfect storm" is brewing over the next 25 years: (1) the 80+ population will double to more than 30 million people, (2) the family caregiver ratio will almost cut in half (and is further hurt as more children move away from their parents), and (3) as life expectancy rises, people are living for years with complex health issues and disability.

And annual long term care costs are about $400 billion today. Our goal is to make a significant difference in care quality for elders and put a dent in healthcare costs in the country.

-

We're looking for a founding front-end developer to join us, especially someone with several years of experience building and shipping complex applications. Our team has a pretty technical background and we like to balance building thoughtfully with getting things shipped.

We are also on the lookout for somebody who can turn high fidelity mockups into (non-functional) html+css components that other developers can run with. This person should be excited getting into the weeds of tiny design details and the know-how to use well-formed css to make them real.

Please email erez AT augusthealth.com.

Prior to this, we cofounded and sold a big-data mapping company, Mapsense, to Apple. Our team of 7 has a strong technical background and also includes a physician with years of experience with geriatric patients. We recently raised a round of financing from tier-1 VCs.

The first few hires for a company set the engineering practices, philosophy, culture for the future - and we are looking for people who are excited by these parts of company building in addition to the technical parts.

We're using react for those that like to search for keywords, but it probably shouldn't be that important.
The EU is a trading block with an affiliated currency (used outside and not in all member states) and affiliated human rights court (all member states are in it and so are some other states). It doesn’t have a health policy, AFAIK.

That said, if the EU did have a combined health policy, and the pandemic was a test of this policy, then the EU faired better than the UK. (As did Scotland, despite being part of the UK and not independent).
I imagine it's possible, but if the replacement craft does not have identical seating configuration, there can be headaches around that, especially with airlines moving to doing things like charging premium prices for certain coach seats etc.

I've never had the plane model changed in my flying experience.
Speculation, incredible liquidity in the system, etc.

That would be my guess.

I've always been a fan of the iMX line - they're my goto reference designs for low volume embedded work along with STM32Fx for MCUs - but the BSPs are just not comparable for hobbyists.

With RaspPi you can download an SD card image fully set up with a simple "wpa_supplicant.conf" for WiFi and a Bounjour discovery service to register a hostname like 'pi.local'. Takes like an hour with a crappy connection and then another hour at most for apt-get update. Need to hook a security camera? Download a prebuilkt MotionEyeOS image. Need to control a CNC with GCode and a .Net core API? Grab the Duet 3 and a raspberry pi.
