Indigo Agriculture | Senior Software Engineer (5-8+ yrs exp) | REMOTE PREFERRED (US) or Boston, MA | Full-time | https://www.indigoag.com/join-us

================

I usually post this long thing about why we're a great company to work for and I realized that nothing compared to mission and purpose. You can read our accolades and I'll reference them below, but the truth is nothing matters more than why we exist:

We're fighting climate change by building better apps for farmers and the agricultural economy. Our farmers are able to produce better quality crops with fewer resources and less land. For example, we piloted a program with Anheiser-Busch and saved 2 BILLION gallons of water in the last year.

If I didn't believe this was one of the most important problems of our generation to help future generations, I wouldn't put so much emphasis on this. If you want a mission you can tell your grandchildren about in hopes of creating a better environment for farmers (and really the whole world), we're working on it right here, right now.

I'd love to hear from you and learn more about how you can work with us. Our stack is JavaScript (React & Apollo front end, some Node on back end) and Python (Flask for the back end).

For reference, we're a Unicorn company:

We work on the most under-hyped sector in startups today (agtech) 2 years in a row:

CNBC named us the Most Disruptive Company in the world, beating out Flexport, Airbnb, and other companies you've seen here on HN. We're in the top 5 2 years in a row:

And our big climate goal is to use regenerative agriculture to sequester 1 TRILLION tons of carbon from the atmosphere:

Even a few years ago I preferred the way a few-block area was represented on Apple Maps vs Google Maps. Apple Maps seemed to be much better at showing relevant landmarks and business names, where Google Maps would randomly select some businesses that happened to have an address there, but often no signage, etc.

Both applications would select the same number of businesses to show (obviously not showing ALL names due to density restrictions on the screen and clutter), but the Google ones were just so painfully arbitrary, and Apple's building skeletons seemed a lot more relevant/recognizable.
At that rate you could put a small battery in it which would last years before needing servicing.
It's just one of the platforms that they are utilizing, not the only one. A campaign will explore many possible avenues in order to reach voters; this is just another means of voter outreach, like the campaign's Twitter account or door-to-door canvassing.

There is nothing hellish about it. If people don't want it they don't have to download it. And it's not a game exclusively for children.
The police in Canada are due plenty of scrutiny for how altruistic their departments might be [1]

> The Ontario government ended police access to a COVID-19 database on July 22 after a court challenge by civil rights groups.

> Information released during that legal process revealed Thunder Bay police had searched the database more than 150 times per day, on average, between April 17 and July 22, according to the CCLA. That amounts to 14,800 searches, or a rate ten times the average number of searches by other police forces across the province.

> Thunder Bay had fewer than 100 reported COVID-19 cases during the time the data was available to police.

Assuming no change to taxed wealth value is a huge assumption. A better baseline assumption would be a conservative mix of index funds, IMO, which would result in 3-4% return IIRC.
It's not just about money. It's about power.
I also reply
Normal people don't personally send bone-saws out into the world, but look at the rhetoric surrounding the recent protests in the US and Hong Kong. Plenty of normal people (many mainlanders, many persons of a particular political party affiliation) are cheer-leading the rabble to get dispersed with the maximum possible application of force - and most of them don't even have any stake in either the issue being protested, or the impact of the protests themselves!

And assuming the police are normal people too, they are all too happy to carry this out.

Normal people are quite happy to endorse or inflict violence against the enemy. Most of us just aren't in a position of power to do anything about it, though, other than post on Facebook, and write angry letters to the editor.

But give that normal person power over other people and freedom from consequences... And, well, you get something quite repulsive.
It's debatable whether Google Ads affect Google search ranking (it's impossible to prove either way considering how many factors affect ranking), but regardless of whether they currently influence rankings, there might be reluctance to change that due to Google's business model.

Google's job as a search engine is to provide relevant and quality content. Ads are spam and noise, so if Google does want to provide quality content they should be penalizing ads just like they would penalize keyword spam and similar unpleasant SEO tactics. Given their business model however it is not in their best interests to do so, so it's very unlikely that Google will do it.

Another company that does not make their money on advertising has a better chance of doing this.
From their very beginnings stock exchanges were by definition “colocated” as you had to meet in person to perform a transaction.

I haven't been building Apps on their platform. Apple advertises to me daily.

Not sure if related.
This highlights more than ever that whatever customer data your employees have access to, you need to log every single access to it, and have automatic audits- who should be accessing what? What accesses are surprising?

Seems like something one could build a SaaS business around- send them reports that <user> accessed <fields> about <customer ID> on <date>, along with a copy of attributes and roles about each user. Service could offer deep dives, querying, reporting, along with ML or rule-based flagging to say "That seems odd".

If Twitter can't build the infrastructure needed to do that, I can't imagine how few small companies can do it themselves either.
I thought it was apocryphal as well, but this is the pilot who did it. https://youtu.be/8AyHH9G9et0

Not saying it’s impossible that he made it up or embellished, but it seems likely that it actually happened.

Summary: Deep learning expert looking for hard problems and organizations with the resources to solve them.

About:

I have a mixed bag of skills — 1⁄3 entrepreneur, 1⁄3 deep learning research scientist, and 1⁄3 engineering manager and software engineer. Spent the past several years building a company deploying deep learning applications for very large enterprise clients, and before that publishing deep learning research (ICML, NIPS, ICLR, etc) at a well known tech company near Seattle. Looking for leadership role within an applied AI organization deploying deep learning models for vision, NLP, speech, or other domains.

Strong track record of developing and deploying state-of-the-art deep learning models to production. Deployed over a dozen different types of models to customers on server-side CPU and GPU platforms as well as mobile chips.

Several years of experience leading both engineering and deep learning research teams with 5–10 direct reports, consistently publishing high-quality research in top-tier conferences (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, ICASSP, etc) with 100s of citations as well as delivering production-quality software on schedule and on budget.

Blurb is intentionally vague as my company is in the process of shutting down.
Saw these videos during my first job (cart attendant at Target). This behavior happens at every big company, both in and outside of tech.

I remember the video being incredibly weird - they basically posited unions as bad because nonmembers would feel socially isolated from member. Eg - in one clip two workers would be gossiping about info from a members-only meeting and the moment a nonmember walked up to them, they became quiet and it turned into this strange teen drama.
I watched a few masterclass and honestly I don't see the point. It's more entertainment TV, and much less "class", nor "master" class.
Having worked on stories like these, I'd caution anyone to examine some of the overtime outliers before responding to them.

Often enough the highest visible overtimes on a city budget are social functions, like a sheriff who provides honorary protective detail to stadiums where they are later bizarrely reimbused through that mechanism.

Below that and down-to the median overtimes usually speak for themselves and draw a fair amount of criticism, but otherwise, the vast combined aggregate under the median points out that we don't pay people enough for the jobs they do, and we can't hire enough of them at that price.
It’s interesting that the 3090 is a replacement for the Titan. The $1500 price tag is a bit higher than expected but considering the Titan cost $2500 it doesn’t seem too unreasonable.

This article is ridiculous. It makes a bunch of unfounded assumptions and provides very little in the way of facts to support its claims. Did anyone actually read the job postings before jumping to conclusions?

>Monitor various collection platforms for incidents that pose direct and indirect risk to Amazon operations, personnel, or brand;

There is nothing in there about union busting or making sure employees don't organize. This author is naive to think that Amazon isn't dealing with state level threats. They likely need state level intelligence.

Hopefully not too off-topic, I have a question: shouldn't we stop using terminal emulators already (i.e. why do we still require emulating the terminal hardware designed in 1970)? Wouldn't a text editor-like user interface be more sensible? (Perhaps, something similar to emacs' M-x shell but more universally adopted.)
It was behind the exorbitant number of spatulas the whole time!
Building a Data Infrastructure: Strategies, Tactics and Best Practices
I'm not saying that's a bad idea, however I do think the real problem isn't a logical one. If you start from the fact that Bigfoot has incredible magic powers and a malign desire to control humanity from the shadows, you can create a worldview that is logically more consistent and coherent than mine or yours.

A lot of the conspiracy theorists who have at least average intelligence become that way because they recognize the inconsistencies in mainstream views. Having to deal with the world as it is, and with imperfect information, seems to be difficult for some of the most logical people.

I think it would be better to expose people to more facts, more of history, more of science, so they get a better understanding of the range of what's likely to be true. Beyond that, people need to be exposed to people from other cultures, other groups so that it becomes harder to believe rumors about them or see them as some monolithic entity.

Yeah; the logical conclusion of free market doctrine is that everything will become a spot-traded market, traded at the highest frequency possible. Complete with all sorts of dodgy payyment for order flow, arguments over best execution, pseudo-indexes like LIBOR, and overt front-running of clients.
This does not surprise me. I've been waiting to see corporate intelligence agencies pop up. When you think about it, Amazon had an operating budget last year of around $309 billion [1], already 75% of Germany's at $399 billion [2]. Facebook has an operating budget of around $35 billion, but that is still enough to field a small intelligence arm. Also, that is Facebook..not all Facebook properties combined.

Thank you for taking this approach.
I call the unhappy ones 'title chasers'. It is crazy how many SV companies make up titles just to hire certain people that rarely bring the value.
The point of the conversation was about which is more stressful. Obviously having "more skin in the game" would directly increase the stress levels but yourself and others who posted like you completely miss the point that the ATCs are there to ensure safe travel and they very much are invested in that mission too. Comments like "well they're not going to die so why would they lose their cool" are just harsh and entirely miss the point of why the ATC are there in the first place.

The key reason for why ATC don't lose their cool has nothing to do with who is more stressed or has more "skin in the game" and everything to do with the fact that if ATC lose their cool then the pilot is more likely to die... and possibly other planes and their passengers and crew too. In order to save lives ATC have to keep their cool even when everyone else around them panics. That's the real crux of the matter.
The Early 20th-Century ID Cards That Kept Trans People Safe from Harassment
Google is fine for me (I use it as fallback when DDG fails) for technical results but for anything else it's pretty bad (recipes are a typical example). It's not just the fault of Google to be honest - the internet itself has turned into a cesspool - however Google would be in the best position to curate that and discourage that behavior by penalizing the offenders' ranking.
Nvidia RTX 3080 Launch
I mean you have to run the tests again anyway. If the test is in a invalid state then you can't trust soft asserts that pass. It might be meaningfull but fast aborts is easier to reason about.

Even CUnit has specific test invocations via eg. an interactive ncurses session, so any fancy pancy Jenkins monster surely can retest failing tests seperately?
What's the value in code coverage from failing tests?

You are overestimating how many power users use Apple products.

If you are technology literate, you've seen the evils of Apple for decades.

A power user fixes their own problem, not waits years for Apple to fix it.
Right?! I thought that was absolutely hilarious. Good to know NVIDIA's got a sense of humor.
You can absolutely pass laws to punish the next person who tries it, though.
There are _some_ limits to that.

If a company is deemed to be considered the equivalent of a town square, it can be given the same restrictions as the 1st amendment. For example Malls cannot ban protected speech in their premises.

If a company is not deemed this by courts, they have the full right to ban you for non-protected reasons (excluding racism/sexism and so on)

Why would Amazon want to prevent workers from unionizing? Look what it did for teaching, policing, mail delivery, port security, taxi driving, waste management, public service, and construction.
Right, so it went from direct CIA command to command by another independent unaccountable US State Department agency in order to further the exact same goal, because of optics. There is no difference between the two. It went from one three-letter agency to another three-letter agency, and it's goals and methods did not change.

When US intelligence has credible proof of something and want to be trusted, they go to reputable media or outright publishes it.

Very fragile. It always baffles me how close to the ground airplanes fly during take-off and landing and how there aren't lunatics messing with them more often. In the US there are places where it is legal for a regular Joe to stand underneath an airplane on approach, 200ft off the ground with the type of gun/rifle that could cause serious damage and bring it down.
Very impressive. I predict that they'll be (more or less) sold out at least until 2021 at the very least.
The upthread-linked Reddit debunk [0] is A) SR71 would've been on a different frequency to both other planes; B) ATC computers at the time were capped at 990 knots; C) SR71s' speeds were classified, no way the crew would've asked or ATC responded with it.

Unfortunately.
