# Mission

Today’s modern marketers face a complex technology stack to build efficient and valuable digital marketing properties. We aim to solve this issue by building a SaaS platform which reduces the level of effort in building, deploying, reporting on and maintaining brand web properties.

# Company

We are a small, currently 5 people, seed stage startup with an existing platform, customer base and great market traction. Our focus is high growth and as such are actively developing our customer pipeline while building product features to ensure we are meeting market demand.

# Product

The core of our platform is a WCMS built to manage a single site to 1,000+ site network. Along with CMS core functionality we have built in and integrated common tools marketers use with their web properties. We have deep social, seo and template editing tools built in. As well as integrations into external marketing vendors; e.g. Salesforce, Exacttarget, Google Analytics, etc.

# Role

You will be integral in strategizing, scoping and building the platform into a highly available and scalable micro service architecture from end to end. You should have experience with provisioning and maintaining web servers, programming backend microservices and monitoring/hardening these services.

Currently our stack consists of Linux, Nginx, MySQL, Redis, PHP, and Node.js.

We are focused on finding individuals with a strong development history and are open to candidates with experience in alternate programming languages.

But execution and legislation are two separate branches, why are you creating a tightly coupled relationship between them? Writing down explicit paths of enforcement sounds almost guaranteed to be incomplete, and would result in having a high degree of agency being removed from enforcement, because they would now have to follow literal conditions no matter what. Conditions which will almost certainly account for an insufficient number of variables than the ones that will be encountered in reality.

>> How and if non-compliance will be prosecuted is a more complicated matter.

Indeed. As far as I can tell, it's only been tested in a limited sense when there are relatively clear violations, such as drug markets, blatant piracy, or gambling. But extend that a bit further, and you get into the sort of murky territory where you're forced to blacklist entire countries because they have crazy people running them.

mPath | Palo Alto | Full Stack Engineer | Android Engineer | prefer on-site, but REMOTE will be considered

mPath is a new type of mobile productivity platform for businesses. Most people don't need all of their business data on their phone – just the pieces that matter to them. With mPath, business folks (non-developers) can modify the app for their needs (without coding). All of this takes between a few minutes and a few hours. We connect to existing data sources like Salesforce and Box.

We launched recently, and we're getting quite a bit of traction inside businesses.

Our stack is

- React/Sinatra web app

- Swift 2 using MVVM on iOS

- Java/Dropwizard and Phoenix/HBase on the back end.

Right now, we have a small but very talented team, and we'd like to add more curious, intelligent people who are interested in solving challenging problems.

The two high-priority roles are:

1. Full stack engineer - mainly Java and HBase

2. Android engineer

> That's not a proper comparison as you are now using more disks in the RAID10 array than the RAID6 to get the same space.

You already have to use more disks for a RAID10 than in a RAID6, so I don't see why this is that big of a deal. Anything involving mirroring will involve at least a 50% cut in capacity (or more, such as with a 3-way or even 4-way mirror). RAID1 and RAID10 don't prioritize capacity; they prioritize robustness.

> N-Parity setups are strictly more redundant than RAID10 for the same number of disks and required capacity.

But not more robust against failure, as I've already described (hopefully) rather clearly. If we want to play this game, I can keep adding more disks per mirror, and now my worst-case will match that of your n-parity array while having a vastly better best-case (and, additionally, dragging the probability of that worst-case happening closer and closer to zero). Remember: if you're a RAID1 or RAID10 user who cares about disk capacity, you're doing something wrong.

> I mix and match vendors in RAID6 arrays just fine and it lowers the correlation of failures between disks just as well.

Do you mix and match all disks, though? Because if you have at least three (in the case of RAID6) disks, no matter where they are in the array, that have the same failure curve (i.e. are the same model/manufacturer), then you're gonna have a bad time when the first one of them dies.

That's my point. In order to get the same inherent benefit as RAID10 here, you'd have to have a different vendor/model for every single drive in your RAID6 array.

> whenever you add more drives from different manufacturers you're adding that redundancy to the whole array.

Only if they're all different. You'll eventually get to the point where there aren't enough manufacturers in the world (or you'll be compromising on manufacturer diversity - which is, granted, what most people do).

> With RAID10 if you have 3 drives per mirror your maximum redundancy before losing data is 3 manufacturers.

And that's fine, because if one of those manufacturers sold me a defective batch, the problem's isolated to that side of the mirror. That's my point; with RAID10, it's no longer a game of sheer numbers of different models and manufacturers, but instead the more manageable strategy of giving each side of the mirror a different bathtub curve to ride, thus mitigating the chance of multiple hard drive batches failing at the same time.
You still need the capital to feed, clothe, and shelter yourself. If you don't have a hereditary source of wealth, you need to work for that, and if you don't have enough wealth to pay for the education necessary for a living-wage job, even working won't be enough.

Software is still made by people, and people have basic needs, and if you don't come from a family with sufficient wealth to support you, you have to work your way through.

In the USA, you have to do that in a nation that does not open doors for you based on birth, despite the myth the feudalist-owned media perpetuates. This is a feudalist society, the most feudalist society ever known to man (at least in the preserved history).

Your conclusions don't necessarily follow. Your interpretation of that post is exactly the kind of problem being addressed here; your idea of how laws currently work is preventing you from seeing how to change them.

Basically, what you have to do is codify human discretion. If a judge wants to say "no, this really isn't a problem," he should be able to directly add that exception to the written law, and then enforce it as written. It's basically a kind of open source law. The question becomes of how to distribute authority.

Case in point: Babylon 5.

The show's creator, J. Michael Straczynski, originally planned for a full 5 season run. But he was forced to cram the ending into season 4 because of uncertainty over the future of the show. Then season 5 was approved at the last moment - with most storylines already wrapped up.

He had to create something for the next season, but it wasn't what he'd envisioned from the start.
Nylas | San Francisco, CA ONSITE (Open To Relocation) | Frontend (JS), Backend (Systems+Ops)

Hi! We're Nylas and we're looking for help building the next generation email platform. We're building a missing piece of Internet infrastructure and are looking for frontend application engineers, designers, backend systems engineers and infrastructure/operations engineers to join us.

Companies are building their core businesses around our email API right now. We have to be reliable, up all the time, and fast.

We're building a frontend framework to power the next generation of mail apps. Sound exciting to you?

== We're particularly looking for folks who ==
* Take personal pride in their work and value autonomy and ownership
* Want the chance to step up and lead a team
* Put the work before ego. We've got each others' backs, and we want you to be with us on that

== A bit more about us ==

If you work your way through school, you end with ‘deficits’ relative to your peers whose parents paid their way through University (and provided a rich set of ‘cultural’ experiences along the way). It is a tough having tens of thousands of debt for your CS degree, as well having spent all your free time in crummy jobs to pay the bills along the way. Walk through a co-working center in Cambridge or San Francisco – how do all those 23 year olds afford rent in some of the most expensive cities in America? And how can they afford to have a bright shiny two grand MacBook on their desk?

If you are like me, a working class kid interested in technology and startups, it can be tough to see your peers with those breaks.

I’ve had every startup role from individual contributor to VP, CTO, COO and CEO under my belt. My perspective is that you can always go to a few museums, read a few books, and catch up (or surpass) your well healed peers. Take it from a 51 year old -- if you have worked your way through school and can’t afford to found a company in your twenties don’t despair – you’ll have a long life and many chances. But the determination that drove you to work your way through school is something precious and remarkable.

It’s not a deficit at all.

Thing is, Phi's not really all that interesting. It's just a simple root of a quadratic, no more 'mystical' than the square root of five. It doesn't 'emerge' from arithmetic the way e or pi do. It's a fixed point of the sequence of operations: 'take a number; invert it; add one; repeat'... that's, sort of interesting, but 'add one' isn't a very special operation - why not add 12? or add pi? or add phi?

Take a number, invert it, add two, repeat... eventually you get root 2 + 1. And the inverse of that is root 2 - 1! That's pretty magical! Kind of more magical than 'half plus root 5 over 2', anyway. Maybe root 2 + 1 is the platinum ratio!
