Elementary Robotics | Multiple Positions | Los Angeles and Mexico City | ONSITE when safe, REMOTE for now

Elementary is building the future of software-first robotics. We're currently focusing on computer vision and machine learning applications targeted at the industrial manufacturing space. We recently (yesterday) exited stealth and announced a series A led by Threshold.

We're hiring multiple positions in our Los Angeles office including a Firmware engineer (C, microcontrollers, embedded linux) and Quality technician. In our Mexico City office we're hiring full-stack, frontend and backend engineers for our react + django + async python realtime streaming applications.

Working at Elementary also comes with the opportunity to work on and contribute back to the open-source community. Check out our Atom microservices SDK at github.com/elementary-robotics/atom. We build robots running Redis on the edge!

> Hong Kongers might be able to achieve more for HK from the UK

Hong Kongers are likely to achieve more for the world - from UK rather than from authoritarian China.
The fate of Hong Kong, specifically, is not that important.

That keeping your credit card updated is your responsibility, not related with the merits of auto-renewing subscriptions or not.
Canada, in general, is famous for massive tax loopholes and hiding income. It is not really a hk issue and is in the news on its own “merits” all the time. There are so many wealthy Canadians avoiding taxes that apparently the national debt could be cleared if we could find a way to make them pay
All of this seems kinda legit, learning and be open and using both your experiences and your interactions with others to fix or reinforce your assumptions, but this is not what people usually expect to find in a book...

I still have the feeling that there is a bit of greed here, trying to find shortcuts, this is not blatantly wrong but I have the intuition that this is a potentially harmful mindset, not unlike the Move Fast and Break Things mindset.
I have had several times. I was even switched to another airline once, they had an issue with their own plane and grabbed a charter :)

I believe bigger airline alliances actually have a pool for such mishaps, spare planes with just the alliance branding on them, I've seen them at airports though not sure how the ownership worked.
One step toward fixing society might be to place limits on platforms that profit from propagating divisive, misleading, and hateful content.
Facebook benefits from outrage. Outrage leads to engagement and virality. Hate correlates to outrage.
What a crazy story. Would be interesting to read a more in-depth article on underground helicopter manufacturing.

I wonder how that would work in the US? I don't think there's anything illegal about building your own aircraft. That's basically what the EAA is all about I think.

Are you sure? Or maybe they'll go work in Hong Kong too with the knowledge their Canadian passport gives them a nice escape plan.
Welcome to modern social justice. Calling a non-racist a racist apparently fixes racism.
It didn't come across in my post in retrospect, but just want to say clearly I love this idea and the ambitious nature of it. I think when someone works in drug discovery, it's hard to escape this feeling that there has to be a better, faster, cheaper way. But at the same time, the reality of seeing how little we actually understand about biological systems on display each and every day tends to be quite a downer! The world sorely needs more of this kind of thinking.
ok, makes sense.

But then why would somebody have so many targets on a makefile? What are the common scenarios for having so many targets in a makefile if not for doing different installation options?
So you want me to pay for the privilege of watching a mind numbing stream of psychologically manipulative advertisements interspersed with the toxic, propaganda laden death throes of the legacy media? No thanks.

YouTube Premium may already be censored by a paranoid AI taking personal kickbacks from Jimmy Kimmel Show, but at least I can still find good content with a little effort.
I think a network based one in theory should be capable of doing so with the right OS / configuration, but not sure about a hardware based one

This is the acronym I saw on HN somewhere though, WORM.

Edit: Upon further research its kind of annoying that this isn't more common for NAS / cloud storage solutions. I think some like Dropbox do keep revisions on the other hand.
I can't find the one I bought anymore. Seems they may have discontinued it. It was basically the same as this one, except with 4 ports instead of 2

FWIW, the first one I got was defective, but the replacement has worked like a champ.
" the pay be at market level "

I believe that is called minimum wage? So that would be already a given.

there's no distinction based on country of origin as you seem to imply

there is a distinction: There is a German by-law as well as a EU-decree that classifies US Americans as citizens of a "priviliged country" (§ 26 BeschV (Verordnung über die Beschäftigung von Ausländern)).

i agree! (the final chapter is basically what you said here) unfortunately i need to learn that too before i can write it.
No idea, I know for a fact though that no laws for upper castes to jail anyone in a lower caste without fighting in courts first.
surely they are just the VDU, not the platform?
Advertisers are people too, my friend.
This long twitter thread about racism isn't about racism?
> Especially if, in the end, we each still stand alone in the voting booth and pull the lever based on how we've been made to feel.

For a lot of people, the only way they can safely say that the social movement has gone too far, is by voting for Trump. If they disagree in public, the mob will come for them. However, in the privacy of the voting booth, they will pull the lever for the one person they know these people hate, not because they love Trump, but because it is their one way to protest against the mob.

I think Hong Kong looks very British! At least in comparison to the other Asian nations that don't have a British Colonial history.
What's preventing you from using the strategy of cold calling the restaurants ?
No - because these are RICH Asian migrants, not POOR North African and Syrian migrants.

It's a combination of differential racism and elitism.
Who in their right mind downvotes this ^? If you do downvote, I'd really like to know why.

Communism is manifestly a negative influence on mankind's well-being... don't know how anyone could rationally think otherwise (unless you grew up in a communist country and believe the propaganda).
Let’s pause all ML research until we have 50% black representation!
And you think humans will do a good job at correctly assessing pieces of content on the sliding scale of “hate”? When one moment it’s fine debating gender issues and a moment later it’s hate speech? For 35,000 people?

This is an impossible problem, both for AI and humans. Any suggestion that this will be solved is pandering bullshit to the NYT crowd.
It's a mirror of the part of human society who think their opinions are worth broadcasting. This induces a selection bias toward radical, unabashed folks.
Wouldn’t entire elimination of irrelevant bias mean that teams would have wildly varying demographics?

If I have 16 teams of 4 people each, I should probably expect to find an all female team and an all male team, if we assume that gender has no bearing on individual performance or on team selection and that gender bias was entirely removed, leaving the gender of each team member to a coin flip?

Similarly, I’d expect to find a fair number of teams who all had O+ blood type today, as I think we do not discriminate on that basis.
Hi, the email addresses for SEAR contact, give an out of office reply.

Is there a different contact we can email for those positions?
That's ridiculous on its face and I'd be shocked if you actually believe it. The things people will say to each other on facebook NEVER happen in real life. If nothing else, facebook has made society WORSE because public behavior has gotten WORSE over time and it absolutely STARTED on sites like twitter and facebook.

If you want to fix society, force more in-person interactions and limit online interactions. We've literally got an entire generation of kids who can barely function in society because they grew up spending 90% of their time interacting with their peers over instant messaging.
The article recommends `.DEFAULT_GOAL := help` which causes make to display the help message when the user doesn't specify a target.

If hate keeps people using the site, they benefit from hate.
It’s been a while I read it, but you are right. Personally I think it already ranks amongst the most important books of the 21st century. Everyone should read it.
You'd rather do a whiteboard? If the project isn't related to their product I don't see a problem.
Disagree. It opens with Zuckerberg blatantly lying about the success of the Aquila drone, and ends with "What Facebook has become is ... a massive block to journalism’s core mission of democratic accountability."

It's pretty obvious that FB gets its marching orders and obfuscation culture from the top.

And this was an interesting quote: "Facebook employs the only comms people who have ever yelled at me."
Lengthening the landing gear is a non-trivial design change. It might be more feasible to shorten the fuselage on a 757 than reengineer the gear on the MAX.

You're "reserving" the domain for whoever values it the most so that some random blogger can't blissfully operate their website and refuse all sales to MegaCorp Inc.

I'm not sure that's beneficial overall, but it's a value-added service to MegaCorp.
I wasn't being sarcastic. I still use Word 97 for writing, because in Word 97, it always takes me two keystrokes to save a new document (Ctrl+S, Enter), whlie in LibreOffice it is an exercise in frustration, because every new document is titled Untitled 1, and that causes a problem when I've already saved Untitled 1.

This is just one example of a basic feature, used on a regular basis, which has obviously been tested thoroughly by the Office 97 developers, but has seemingly barely received any attention from LibreOffice.

I use a very basic laptop, and through the wonders of virtualization have a Windows ME VM with Office 97 on it, and it runs just as fast as LibreOffice does natively, if not faster. In a VM, being used for an hour or two at a time, Win ME has no stability issues.

Win ME came with IE 5.5, and I eventually upgraded it to 6.0. Because I built my site to be compatible with both, I can easily copy and paste what I wrote into my blog. Office 97 and IE 6.0 support Unicode well enough that I can do all this in two different character sets.

I rarely print anything, and I'd probably still use LibreOffice for that. But if I really wanted to, I could probably figure out how to print, too.

The Win 9x series is remembered for being unstable and crashy, but I think it's also a marvel of engineering and UI design. And when you take away malware, random utilities, registry decay, hardware malfunctions, and so on, it's a comfortable, almost typewriter-like experience.
This is more a discussion topic, really interested if someone can explain to me how this email looks legitimate (beyond the information in the replies already)
It was already approved by authorities once...
Well, the IA servers won't be offered for sale because IA decided to buy new servers, and similarly the buyer is in all likelihood really interested in the data.

Selling the data while claiming they 'merely' sell the servers is probably not fraud, but I don't think a judge is likely to look well on it. I can see the publishers arguing the data has monetary value and demanding restitution. Another thing is that IA relies on their designation as a library to avoid copyright legal issues, and the buyer will probably need the same designation (or at least to exist outside of EU/US). Still, with good will and good lawyers all this might be doable.

Nationalization is heavyweight and unlikely. If needed, someone will have to push for this behind the scenes. This is a big mess though, we may need every option we can get.

Why didn't IA think of separate legal entities in advance? Judging by the fact they got themselves into this, I suspect the foundation is not very well run...

Those were single-wheel in front, two wheels in back. I guy from my high-school rolled one and broke his wrist, back in the day.
I mean there are even plenty of HKers who are happy to stay and make money under China.
Some build systems work that way, tup is one I think. They use strace to intercept file I/O and figure out what has been updated, and thus can figure out an optimal way to re-build.
This sounds totally reasonable for a company like Auth0 that has a) a big engineering team and b) tons of people who are depending on their APIs not being slow.

Do you think it's easy enough to get this sort of machinery set up even for small startups?

Yeah that's 100% the truth. You also have to assume that multiple things happen at the same time - what happens if you buy a house two weeks before you get laid off at work and that's swiftly followed by your wife finding out that she's pregnant. Suddenly having 6 months worth of cash in the bank gives you a TON of breathing room.

The more we specialize, the more life becomes fragile, and the smaller the gains become. A Formula One car is incredibly fast, but the amount of attention and money each car requires is orders of magnitude higher than say a Ferrari road car, which is comparatively simple to manage.
Is this a remote first company or situation will change post COVID?
Well if we were to believe they don't benefit from hate, we need proof. For that we need numbers. So unless they start implementing some filters for hate, we will not know the impact. In reality, we all know they do benefit from it. I would say its on them to prove they don't benefit, not using rhetoric but using numbers.
One of the issues I've seen with entr, fswatch, etc is they don't respond to ATTR changes (e.g. via touch).

When developing on VM, sometimes you have to "forward" filesystem events to the guest. Usually that happens via TCP/UDP and touch, but wont trigger the reload.
It's a combination of differential racism and elitism.

Is it possibly more representative of your own prejudices that you see only negative motivation here?
ISP's DNS, which you use by default, has a blacklist.

You change your DNS, no longer see ISP's blacklist.

He approaches things with humor and uses the current news. For instance in one of his smartphone videos "And this phone has a xyz mAh battery, and also if you look close you can read Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself."

This is without taking a stand in the matter - which is good.
And the disadvantages of both. These being the huge loading times (even for a calculator!) and the disk space required.
The confederate statues were erected many years after the war they had lost, specifically to promote white supremacy. Lee wasn't ""cancelled"", he surrendered, and was shown considerably more mercy than the 20th century showed to the surrendering Nazis.

Putting up a statue of Lee was whatever the opposite of virtue signalling is - vice signalling?
My wife grew up in the PRC. Before Communism they were a very prominent family (her great uncle was a literary pioneer; his brother, her grandpa, a judge prominent enough that he was mentioned in the movie Lust Caution; and their brother a successful MD), and as a result were "black" under the Communist regime.

With the exception of my wife's grandmother, every member of her extended family spent time in either prison or forced-work camps. One of her aunts translated for me the "confession" she was forced to sign. None of this was related to what we'd consider crimes, but was entirely political.

The Communists took the family's house. They had a refrigerator and a piano, which the Red Guard destroyed on the basis that if everyone didn't have such bourgeois goods, then no one should. When TVs were made available for neighborhood viewing, my wife wasn't allowed to attend.

And there's the malnutrition and squalor they were subjected to. They shared one floor of a brownstone with 2 other families - so, 3 entire families sharing one kitchen and 1.5 baths. There was insufficient food, to the point where they had to eat insect-infested grain - while Party members got plenty.

So, all in all, my wife's experience with Communism wasn't positive, and having lived through that, she's the first to speak up against anything that exhibits any of those traits.
No, advertisers are the only people. Everybody else is the product.
Unrelated to the subject, but while viewing the pdf in the GitHub viewer using Firefox on Android: halfway through Firefox crashed and my phone's wallpaper changed. Strange bug, and I can recreate it. Anyone else?
I was in a similar boat. You can learn a lot by taking Andrew Ng’s deeplearning.ai course on Coursera. It doesn’t get into the statistical theory of it, but you get a lot of detail and practice implementing neural nets. It taught me enough to realize that I am not interested in supervised learning.
This was a story covered by Canadian press some years back. Here is one article from CBC from 2012:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/nortel-collapse-linked-to-c...

I lived in Ottawa during the heyday of Nortel, Corel, JDS, Newbridge and many other tech firms during 90s and 2000s and had many friends and family members employed by Nortel. The slow collapse of Nortel, a behemoth of the Canadian marketplace and a huge employer, and the ensuing job losses and loss of pension funds were heartbreaking.

China was able to grow in leaps and bounds its telecom industry in an accelerated matter that v likely couldn't have occurred without espionage.
Nobody has answered the question yet.

Since you can't be guaranteed to be able to bill someone forever, an expired CC being an obvious example, how does an app not break the rule of "Because Apple forbids an app to be disabled or not function".

I mean, the app surely doesn't uninstall itself or give you free access forever.
With his characteristic geeky excitement, Zuckerberg described the promising initial test flight of Aquila, a drone with a wingspan larger than a 737 jet that was part of his plan to provide internet connectivity all over the world.

Though Newton hadn’t witnessed the test flight in Yuma, Arizona—no members of the press were invited—he believed Zuckerberg’s account of it. When his article was published, it reported that Aquila “was so stable that they kept it in the air for 90 minutes before landing it safely.”

Months later, however, a Bloomberg story revealed that the flight hadn’t gone so smoothly after all—Aquila had crashed. While the craft had indeed stayed aloft for longer than intended, high winds tore a chunk out of a wing, leading to a crash landing.

Interesting episode! It would be interesting to know if this was intentional deception or incompetent ignorance on Zuck's part.
It isn't a good deal for Canadians because we can get immigrants that will contribute to Canada, pay taxes, and have children who will do the same.

And many of the children of Hk immigrants will go back to HK to earn more money.

They will do whatever is in their best interest.
The solution is to make companies pay people for their time during interviews, at an hourly rate equivalent to compensation for the position. Everyone else in the interview is getting paid by the company, after all.

Suddenly, managers, hiring committees, and recruiters will stop wasting people’s time and everyone will know what to expect to get paid!

Yes, I might have gone for two smaller hub motors, rather than a solid rear axle. But maybe they tried that too.
Cool! I'd describe it more like a ramjet that works even when stationary. (Although the first prototype didn't seem like it produced much thrust yet.)
Goes both ways. I make a point of working at well-funded tech companies and if a recruiter neglects to raise salary from the get-go I use it to my advantage to make them and the hiring manager squirm as they re-arrange the department budget to pay me an extra 20%+ over the initial offer. As you mentioned, time is money :) and interviewing sucks even more after you find the right candidate.
Japan and Taiwan are seemingly being open to immigration and open to poaching skilled immigrants specifically. Both Taiwan and Japan are typically fairly difficult to immigrate to in general unless it's for temp guest workers.
