Good sign to me is one of the steering members is Tom Hacohen founder of Svix (webhooks-as-a-service). We're adopting them where I work and everything from them has been solid. I know he's seen a lot of different use cases and will have good consideration for the schema they define in their spec file.

Seems interesting, all the best ai chat interfaces do well in selling themselves by offering strong citations - I like how you.com for example points to relevant SO posts when it presents code snippets.

This sort of API can really boost the chat development workflow

No pizza is as good as my memories of Fox’s - sausage and peppers under the cheese, herbaceous profile sliced into borderline bite size squares that you can eat a dozen of

They were acquired by Talend in late 2018, I think.

Hey! Thanks for grafana, and especially a HUGE thank you for the user usage metrics!

Now if only you could persuade kibana to do the same :-)

Telling that the summary advice is “change the default password”, even if some of the other ideas are deployed user involvement is near zero if not completely zero. I wonder how impactful it would be to roll out a totally read-only router, or if the necessity of updates and maintenance would generate too much headache for the user

I went to college with one of the founders - great dude, would definitely check out DeepScale if you’re interested in this space

Zuckerberg purchased the land from all serious parties, and now his lawyers are doing their due diligence to track down anyone who might own even a "1/3,276" share, and are hardly treating anyone unfairly.

Put down your pitchforks, no one is being driven off their land.

I work at Periscope Data - we do our own lead scoring using home-baked ML through SciPy. It was interesting to see it play out in the real-world - interpretation of features/parameters was definitely important to the people driving the marketing/sales orgs.

We also support linear regression in the product itself - it was actually an on-boarding project for one of the engineers who joined this year, and he wrote a blog post to show them off: https://www.periscopedata.com/blog/movie-trendlines.html About 1/3rd of our customers are using trendlines, which is pretty good, but we haven't gotten enough requests for more complex ML algorithms to warrant focusing feature development there yet.

I am a software engineer at Periscope Data (https://www.periscopedata.com), and discovered the company through a Who's Hiring thread, and we have hired at least two other software engineers through HN Who's Hiring since then as well.

I was searching for "scala" and they had the word "scalable" :-)

Hey, I helped edit the blog post. Definitely agree that the different spiky behaviors are driven by data collection, but that's the beauty of real-world datasets! It would be interesting to learn if it was bulk first-of-month reporting, that crimes where the day wasn't specified get marked as the first, or some other phenomenon. The next step might be to interview police officers and ask :-)

Here's the top crimes broken down by the first of the month vs the average for the rest of the month - some crimes are only reported (or never reported) on the first of the month, and "FRAUD" for example is twice as likely to be the first of the month: https://sli.mg/lHjo83

Hey! I'm an engineer involved in recruiting at Periscope Data. We see resumes/LI from people who've been doing startup things all the time. It's definitely not an issue, usually the opposite - I love talking to people with less structured backgrounds, they usually have interesting stories to tell. We recently hired someone who had been "technical co-founder" of a successful startup for the past six years. He wanted to join a larger team, and we were totally comfortable with him having been in a more jack-of-all trades scenario because he is very obviously brilliant.

Shamelessly, don't hesitate to reach out if you might be interested - we're hiring in all areas, and I would especially love to chat if you or your co-founders are looking for engineering, PM, or marketing roles :)
