The MAX had the MCAS installed to make it so that pilots could operate it under the type certificate of a 737. Otherwise, the plane would behave differently and would require retraining. What he's probably saying is there is nothing wrong with the plane's design without the MCAS. Financially, the 737 MAX wouldn't be a success that way.

Thanks, I hate it. I use Firefox. This 50% of my time on the internet.

...and nothing of basic statistics? Data Science people want to know about your data pipeline and have some quantification of the quality of that data. Also, monitoring data pipelines for data integrity often relies upon a statistical test. You don't need to go as far as Bayesian but you do need to understand when a median goes way off or if it bi-modal, etc.

Sounds like a classic "don't write this down or leave a paper trail" type situation. Everything else, though, should be subject to discovery by a competent lawyer if it has to go that far. Then again, she's probably under a forced arbitrage clause, meaning the cards are stacked against us to get any visibility on the matter.

Right, right, that was wrong on so many levels. Ivanka is doing the same damned thing, only it hasn't exactly made the news. Only difference this time, people are suing to try to force the issue that the law is followed.

Arena | Data Engineer | ONSITE: St. Louis, Baltimore, NYC (remote 100% currently)

We're using data to help companies in healthcare pick job applicants who will stay at a job for more than a year. Our ML algorithms help reduce bias in hiring decisions and we can show a direct line between us and their wallet. Active in over 1,100 facilities in the US and branching out into other verticals.

We offer flexible work schedules, copious work from home, a 401k, actual healthcare plans, vision and dental coverage. Overtime is frowned upon and vacation is unlimited. We are based around 2 metro hubs and looking to grow in St. Louis.

You won't be tested on data structures or algorithms (that's memorization.) No one will make you write code with a sharpie (it's all online, anyways.) It's a phone screen, code sample and then one < 4hr interview session.

Infra is hosted on AWS. Typescript on the front end, Python and Clojure on the back end. We still have a lot of OCaml if you've ever wanted to dabble.

We moved from Phabricator to JIRA, Github and CircleCI. We couldn't be happier. It's one thing to have a single tool with 70% of the functionality you need, it's another to have 90%+. That 20% makes such a huge gulf it's not even funny. We were able to ditch several thousands of lines of cobbled together glue that moved us 10% forward but added overhead for any new project which set us back a week or more.

> Yes, when the courts stop favoring women...

Um, no. You already can hire whomever you want and for whatever reason you want. You just can't be blatantly sexist. Perhaps you need to step back and reassess your viewpoint because it reeks of scare mongering.

I worked with Matt. He's awesome. Can't say enough.

Pilots are in the left seat, you get more visibility that way if you're "leaning" the plane to fly left circles.

Sounds great, now how do they really plan on making sure the money actually gets to the farmer?

This will destroy more adtech companies than you can imagine. Amazon will have so much of your shopping habits. They'll have even more than just one credit card company will be able to have...

More junk science used to convict people in the courts of America? I'm going to die now of not surprise! I guess a better way to say this is, how does the proliferation of shit work like this happen so fast but the refutation take so damned long?

Wow, read this and thought, "this is like airplane ownership."

Arena|Baltimore, MD or New York, NY|Onsite|Full time|Developer|https://arena.io/careers

Tech stack: OCaml, Python, AWS

CI/CD ready: Yes

Area: HR, bias, machine learning

Profitable: Yes, however, changing to growth mode.

Team size: 10 devs, 5 data science

Benefits: WFH, 401k, real healthcare, and 40hr work weeks (no seriously, go home)

Company job sales pitch: While the labor market today typically relies on signals from resumes, we apply large amounts of data and cutting-edge data science to transform the way people are identified, hired, and deployed—a change that has the potential to transform the largest labor market in the U.S. Leveraged in over 500 healthcare facilities, including Mt. Sinai Health System, Adventist HealthCare and Sunrise Senior Living, our clients have experienced a median 38% reduction in employee turnover and generated millions in cost savings. We might be focused on the healthcare industry today, that is only the beginning. With a quickly growing business, proven leadership team, well-respected client base and strong venture-backing, Arena is positioned to rewire the labor market.

I came here to say the same thing. This is a great article on "Rust is safe for our org."

I remember going to see films at The Little. Man, that brings back memories. I hope they can survive this.

If you have ever wondered why they tell you to turn off electronic devices during take off and landing, here it is.

So they're producing the basic materials but have concluded there is no long term business related to supplying graphene wafers. That means there are other companies already in that race or soon to come out with capital. Exciting times indeed.

Also flyingdoodles, rather new entrant but entirely enjoyable.

Not surprised by this. I'm patently surprised that Houston has stayed open given the staffing issues around the TSA. Maybe this will be the forcing mechanism to end the stalemate.

You shouldn't have to only be able to go through your network to get a job. We should judge based upon the same criteria every other damned job judges ...how well they did their last job.

I like the following points touched:

1. Can you review code?

2. Can you work with product on requirements for X?

3. Can you design a system?

4. Walk me through the process to debug situation Y.

That's it.

Arena is looking for a backend dev to work in one of NYC, Baltimore or Chicago. We are building AI that helps predict employee retention in the hiring process. There's a few more legs to be built to give us the "3 of enterprise" but for now, most of our clients are happy with just the one offering.

Using OCaml, Python and some C# (would love to convert to F#.)

Unless you can provide them with the information, it's not the developers who are making the rules. There's a reason Lexus is as profitable as they are.

Sorry but that's a very good way to hurt your career. The community is surprisingly small. As in, I swear it's less than 3 hops from me to most people who might cross my desk when recruiting. I can tell you we know who have done this and we shy away from them. They're a waste of time.

I love that they wiped and degaused the servers holding key evidence. Cause why would you do that if you had anything to hide?

A Lance or Saratoga tend to sink at 1400fpm best glide. There are many other planes that fly as well as bricks without power.

That's neat but I question if many of us are at the level of Facebook w.r.t. the need for this. To wit, who here runs their own data center?

Organic crops use organic pesticides in the US. That is, the lobby of big agra has the regulatory framework for "organic" changes to suit their purpose. It's not what you think ir is.
