Unitary Foundation | Full-Stack Web Developer (Data visualization) | Open-source | Full-time | Remote (EU/NA timezones) | https://unitary.foundation/

We're a quantum computing non-profit organization, and we are looking for a full-stack web developer.

The job is classical — mostly building web portals — but those portals open into the quantum world.

Quantum computing knowledge is a plus, but not required. The initial project is a platform to understand the trajectory of quantum computing. The focus is on data visualization, so strong skills in that area are preferred. The candidate will work mostly alongside quantum engineers and researchers, so ownership to work independently on the classical side of things is important.

The stack of the main web project is PERN, but the organization maintains other projects in Python.

For more info, reach out to info@unitary.foundation

I posted it with the original title from Sifted after reading "“Our application format will be familiar, similar to that of Y Combinator’s — simplicity will be key for deploying capital fast,” says Piacentini."


The point of the article is how India cases are very under-reported. If it was just about officially reported death rate of the country normalized by population, as you did in your math, there wouldn't be an article at all.


Yes, I understand, my point is, why putting this absolute number into the article title?


Germany has reported 114K deaths. India has only reported 484K deaths.

There are other aspects to the underreporting of deaths - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abm5154

> The analyses find that India’s cumulative COVID deaths by September 2021 were 6-7 times higher than reported officially.

From back in June - https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/07/20/1018438...

> The analysis, from the Center for Global Development, a think tank in Washington, D.C., looks at the number of "excess deaths" that occurred in India between January 2020 and June 2021 — in other words, how many more people died during that period than during a similar period of time in 2019 or other recent years.

> Drawing death data from civil registries and other sources, the report came up with three estimates for undercounts. The conclusion is that between 3.4 and 4.7 million more people died in that pandemic period than would have been predicted. That's up to 10 times higher than the Indian government's official death toll of 414,482.

The story isn't about the number of deaths itself but rather the underreporting of deaths. Another possible title would be "Covid-19 believed to be underreported by 6-10x in India" - though that fails to capture the sheer toll of the death and isn't as eye catching.

There is nothing to compare it with in Germany (for example) because the number of unreported covid-19 deaths is likely very small in comparison to the totals.


I think the question is fair on "why isn't the headline that actual deaths are over 6 times reported deaths?"

That is, the absolute number is big, but it is not that that is the story. The story is how that big number relates to another number.


Because people died and it's data.


Because it's a pretty high number. It shows that if an epidemic breaks out in an where it cannot be controlled, the toll is high. If Andorra would have denied the existence of COVID and refused to take measures, the numbers would be a bit lower.


This reminds me of an essay by @pg about startup names: http://www.paulgraham.com/name.html

Some underrated live coding tutorials on Crystal on this YT channel: https://youtu.be/Q1wOFmt3yng


I knew who it was before clicking. I learnt to love Crystal from this channel. Great content.


Sadly this is very likely.


And what if I tell you that you can work on BOTH AI and Healthcare at the same time! (Add mindblown emoji). This is a shameless hiring plug for the company where I work on, that is, Babylon Health. https://www.babylonhealth.com/careers-hub/careers-hub/vacanc... Seriously, feel free to reach out if you are interested.


about 2) there is (was?) an effort by IBM to make an AI chef using techniques from cognitive computing. See https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/11/28/cooking-with-c...
