TrueCar (https://www.truecar.com/) | Remote (US)

We are looking for a senior machine learning engineer to own production models end to end.

Automotive is a trillion dollar industry in the US that is still largely unchanged by technology.

TrueCar is a 2 sided marketplace connecting car buyers with the dealership and car of their dreams. We have a unique dataset in the industry that allows us to observe market dynamics from research through purchase, this gives us a lot of room to expand into dealer tools for optimizing their business processes.

We have a recently completely upgraded our tech stack, with all of our infrastructure on AWS and all ML in python/pyspark.

The ML team prioritizes collaboration and learning from each other, we hire team players.

iOS development sucks. It had a huge amount of churn this decade due to the transition into Swift. Documentation wasn't just out of date, it was in a different dimension. Every SO answer was a mix of incompatible versions and - what answers existed were best guesses from people who also had no concrete documentation to go off of.

Your best bet was to cozy up to Apple teams or preferred Apple partners like Facebook and Uber, and see if the inside scoop could save you a few months of maddening frustration.

You can see this evidenced in engineering blog posts from companies like Uber and Twitter, they had to hire soooo many people to build out their mobile app.
I've heard that AWS is struggling to hire and retain, so I see this "Strive to be Earth's Best Employer" and "Success and Scale Bring Broad Responsibility" as attempts to reform their image as needed to bring in and retain employees.

Best of luck to them. I'm considering new positions, but not with AWS: if I interview with AWS it'll just be for a stronger position negotiating with other employers. Too many red flags at Amazon.
The ones with Roku OS don't do this. Can't vouch for Android TV though.
This doesn't make any sense without context and a citation.

Edit: Seeing that response, I think your top-level comment is a victim of Poe's Law...
> It has been scientifically proven that weight loss is impossible for any extended period of time.

Weight loss fads and fad diets don't keep the weight off. But, there are methods to change ones diet to be a healthy diet and along with that weight is lost long term. In addition to weight coming off, someone can have more energy and vitality along with a lower probability of getting diseases. There is a bunch of scientific literature on this.
Ha, yeah. My past self would be horrified by what I wrote. But he also got into a lot of student debt and couldn't talk to girls, so. What the fuck does he know.
I don't think the SEC even goes undercover by getting hired as an accountant or something. And second, he wouldn't get any large payouts he wanted.

It's possible that obese people face health risks, but the ads in question (1) do not actually affect those health risks positively, (2) cause other harm that is greater than the health risks associated with obesity, or (3) both.

I would investigate that possiblity before baldly asserting that the decision was guided by feelings and not facts. Just saying "but obesity is dangerous" should not give a free pass to deceptive/harmful weight-loss ads.

EDIT to complete the thought: If Pinterest did the analysis to determine that all or almost all weight-loss ads are deceptive or harmful, then just cutting them off is the right thing, and is based on facts, not emotion. I don't know if that's the case, but you need to know that piece before you can say for sure it was based on emotion.
I know better, and I still use Robinhood. I also use Fidelity, but their mobile and web apps suck beyond description, and used to use Scottrade, who also suck. Robinhood doesn't just look better (although that's important); it's easier to use and faster; bank transfers are WAY easier; you don't have to jump through hoops to enable options trading (which means a lot of people who shouldn't trade options now do, but it's still better for those who want to); you can trade on deposits instantly instead of waiting a week for the deposit to clear; margin is easy to use. There are plenty of foot-guns in everything I said, but there's also plenty of convenience and utility for people who are trading carefully.
> and got victims 90% of their losses back

We do not have a justice system in which the victim pays for the cost of investigating, prosecuting, and punishing offenders. All of that is paid by the general public. That does not mean there are no bounties -- there are, but the bounties are never paid by subtracting out amounts due victims. Changing that, so that victims would not be entitled to full restitution in order to help finance law enforcement would require changing a lot of laws, not just adding a whistleblower law. It would also overturn a lot of precedent. It would be a big change that a large majority of the public would oppose.
Yes, where the context is a settlement offer. You'll notice it refers to a "claim for damages", i.e. the claim that would be made in court, but will not be if settled instead.

In the headline, on the other hand, there's no context at all to suggest a settlement, which is why the commenter called it misleading.
>but I simply don’t get why we don’t hold the social media platforms accountable for the content that gets posted to them

I think that's probably too crude a concept, although you can argue that probably 10% of Twitter needs a lawsuit being horrid people and all.

My own guess is that the ability of social media is strong and subtle enough to avoid any rule you might cook up. Their ability to steer enough votes to win an election is obvious and their own bias is clear.

You're not going to get your relatives to leave Facebook, it's too handy for trading baby pictures, so I have no clue what should be done. There'll always be some sort of editorial control.
Fun fact: if you publish a data point regularly at https://www.microprediction.com/get-predictions then over time, distributional predictions will come to you. It's like a nano-market for live distributional prediction.

I think the problem is the number of shady people in the space. Pinterest can either filter them or just ban the category.
What is "legit" though? I've yet to see an FDA approved weight loss product whereas wheelchairs do have to get FDA approval.
to be honest, this was just a very stupid joke. i guess there is no good reason to compare the two.
I think of StackOverflow as basically crowdsourced documentation. In a perfect world the documentation that comes with your tools would be complete, correct, and readable. Unfortunately in our world this is often not the case and people end up having to do one of three things:

1. Delve into the original source to see what happens (or reverse engineer the binary) -- very time consuming!

2. Guess. Maybe write some test apps to play around with it till you get it working. This used to be very common, but leads to situations like the PS2 encryption algorithm being completely broken because the devs didn't understand the IV parameter.[1]

3. Go on StackExchange and find an example of what you are trying to do, usually with some helpful discussion about the parameters.

[1] You would think security libraries would have the best documentation because it's so important to get it right and difficult for the developer to detect mistakes, but I've found the opposite to be the case. They're some of the worst offenders for just showing you a cryptic function prototype and assuming you know everything about the underlying math already. It feels like the crypto guys think if you couldn't write your own crypto library then you aren't good enough to use theirs, kind of missing the point of libraries.
It doesn't say she left her previous employment in order to take on a job for less money, it simply says it paid less than her previous employment. For all we know she could have been out of work for a year between, trying to get a job.

Saying someone accepted a job at a miserly rate doesn't make the rate acceptable. We don't think paying immigrants a fraction of the minimum wage is acceptable, we don't (any more) think that expecting years of unpaid internships is acceptable, and we don't think that the jobs the factory workers first started to unionize against, with terrible wages and unsafe conditions were acceptable, despite all those people "voluntarily" accepting the jobs.

Having a job isn't just "voluntary" for most people. The pressure to have one in order to survive, plus the difficulties, costs and risks associated with switching, gives the employer power over the employees.

Looking at the first few comments on this article. Seems like there are a number of commentators with ethics that I find rather depressing.

Yes, this is legal. That does not make it right. The company clearly had plans to move out of the US and still took money to keep jobs in America. They are despicable actors and it depresses that others here see nothing wrong with this.

A treadmill is an example of a legit weight loss product.
yes but no. technically further discussion could lead to a better outcome.

so you’re right here. not right when saying that further discussion would be pointless.

> Purpose & meaning are strong motivators and I agree with the author that there is not enough focus on that to help promote agency in individuals. There are societal failure(s) to be highlighted here, despite your unwillingness to see them.

... and you edited your response to add this after I criticized you.

If you had written this in the first place, maybe left out the insults, we could have had a nice conversation.
Netflix was the first SV company to articulate all these ideas (more or less) coherently. They are now pretty common, especially the no-specific-PTO policy.

This is kind of like the "Seinfeld isn't funny" trope.

You may or may not agree with their approach (and apparently it has changed a bit from when it was written - including the head of HR who pushed these ideas being semi-forced out!) but Netflix should get a bunch of credit for innovating on corporate culture.
It's very simple: googling and copying should be a method of last resort. Behind even "googling and learning and then writing your own code based on what you learned," for instance. I'd bet I do it less than once a week. (Trying to find something through google and FAILING to find a useful answer is, sadly, much more common for me.)

Copilot makes it a method of FIRST resort.

If I know what I'm doing, and know I should escape my inputs... but copilot barfs up a block copied from someone who didn't... now I have to retrain myself to spend time reading the suggested code for stupid shit like that versus just using my own knowledge in the first place.

That's a far cry from "i know the method name I want has 'string' in it somewhere"-style autocomplete.

You're basically importing a library of "every stupid crap anyone committed to github" and just hoping the the library functions in it are safe and reasonable. That's a crazy dependency to bring into your project if your own programming skills are above that of the median github user.
Sure. There's a balance somewhere in between idealized images and "Healthy at Every Size".

But if a product is intended for weight loss, I would expect its ads to focus on weight loss...
All I'll say is that your viewpoint is incredibly ignorant of American history, which I can understand if you're not from here, because we don't make a habit of exporting much other than propaganda. You're forgiven for this ignorance but I expect you to make an effort to correct your misunderstandings.
Although I understand, and I have done so in the past and won, after speaking with both OnePlus and Amazon I came away feeling that it was my fault.

I had a case on the phone which I removed just an hour earlier because it was dirty underneath, and wit lockdown and working from home I wasn't leaving the house, I saw no need to put it back on, felt like Karma.

Yes I believe the design contributed significantly to it breaking, it just wasn't the time for me to add more stress trying to fight it.

I'm a strange way, it was a good thing, I'm a perfectionist, and having a broken screen put me off wanting to use my phone, that's a good thing in a weird way.

I don’t understand. I never have copy pasted from SO after my first few years of work. At that point you normally are already using libs that take care of most things you would copy paste and are hopefully working ok things more complex than just piecing together sporadic SO posts.

The code i produced during my first few years isn’t something anyone should aspire to.

Additionally you likely learned over time that most SO posts are not great but provide a good starting point.

Promex is a fantastic and well thought out library which I've deployed into production.

One slightly useful trick that the docs don't highlight is that you can run the /metrics endpoint on a different port to the rest of the application. If you have that firewalled off, a local grafana agent or prom shipper of your choice can happily run against your application without making metrics public.
On this note, my parents have been in contact with a African woman for years who they helped via one of those child sponsorship programs. Shes an adult now and literally yesterday she called and texted my Mom via her own funds and everything. It doesn't seem like a petty thing after all.

Democratising trading is not inherently good, similar to democratising gambling.

I'm torn on this.

On one hand there is a lot of body shaming and there are many fad weight loss diets that don't work and are even unhealthy. Sometimes they are flat out scams that make people who do them a lot of money.

On the other hand, in America being overweight and obese (in the medical sense) is common and the cause of many health problems. In terms of policy (going beyond individuals) the lack of health caused by all of this increases health care costs we have to deal with as a society.

And, the health issues are getting worse and spreading. Or, so I've read.

We need ways to help deal with this.

Are weight loss products "medical devices?"
Typical Guardian fluffy logic. Long on theoretical solutions, short on practicality, the kind of logic privileged Westerners are so fond of.

The only way to deal with exercise heat is to redesign buildings, living and work environments to cope with the heat.

Climate alarmists always pretend that human beings haven't seen such events and learned to adapt to them. They have, the important thing is learn from the past, not blame everything on CO2 warming.

The only way to cope with a warming climate is to expend lots more energy in the near term handle the changes in the future, and if you are going to avoid CO2, nuclear is the way forward or something better comes up,

The Green Energy plan is mostly bogus, and that is easy to tell from the kind of companies which have jumped on the bandwagon seeing as leopards don't change their spots.

The First Amendment begins "Congress shall make no law" (the Fourteenth Amendment brings in incorporation, so "Congress" should be read any US governmental authority). By definition, no private actor (at least, no one not acting under color of law) is capable of violating your First Amendment rights.

While I understand that people try to frame this as protecting First Amendment rights, this is actually very literally the government requiring the companies to publish certain kinds of speech. There is a provision in the law that would require any covered social media provider to carry all posts from any declared candidate. Turns out, though, there's a handy SCOTUS case that says that requiring a newspaper to publish replies from elected officials is unconstitutional abrogation of the newspaper's free speech.

Just as the First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, it also protects the freedom from compelled speech.
Are you serious? There is no need for advertising or marketing departments for any product? If you invented a new, legit weight loss product why shouldn't you be able to advertise it?
