Narrative IO | Software Engineer / Employee #2 | NYC | Full-time | On Site

The following job is for employee number two at an obviously very early stage startup. Please reach out to me (founder) directly. I'm happy to answer questions and go a little deeper than makes sense in a job post. My last two companies, where I was on the management team but not a founder, have had successful exits.

At Narrative we believe that data are incredibly valuable assets for modern businesses. Unfortunately not every business have the data they need. Conversely many companies have large data sets that they are aren't getting the full potential value out of. To help solve this problem, Narrative is building an unstructured data marketplace that will enable the efficient discovery, pricing, transaction, and delivery of data between companies. We are looking for people to join us to achieve this goal.

This is the first full-time hire at the company and the role would be employee #2 after the founder. As such this person needs to to be willing to walk into a situation with a lot of big challenges as well as uncountable unknowns.

An early version of our backend infrastructure is already in production, but we're looking to quickly expand the feature set while maintaining a highly reliable and scalable platform.
Where are we today?

Today's data collection platform is built on top of Amazon Web Services. All backend code is written in Scala using open source technologies like Jetty, Apache Thrift, Kafka, and ZooKeeper.

What is next?

While we think this is a good start there are already some pressing architectural needs that need to be addressed to make the platform truly scalable. These include the design and implementation of our next generation core infrastructure, migration of data from our legacy systems, and building out our data analytics framework. We're also actively on boarding new customers who will have a variety of new data types and requirements on how they will be traded.
I use the contribution graph and streak count to encourage me to keep working on a side project of mine. I don't do development for my job, and my side projects I regularly abandon.

Trying to use the GitHub streaks feature to encourage me to make at least a small commit to my side project every day has actually led to me getting much further on it and working much more on it than I ever expected. It keeps me looking at and going back to my code.

Yes, it's irrelevant and frivolous. Yes, it's easy to cheat on (if you feel like cheating yourself). But you can use it for good if you want to, and I'm glad it's there.

> a know denier site that has lied a lot of times

I could just as well say that a site like RealClimate is "a known alarmist site that has lied a lot of times". At that point we're just pointing fingers and arguing from authority, not substance. That's why I picked an article that specifically quotes and references the IPCC AR5 itself, rather than one of the hundreds of critical papers and articles that have been published by skeptics on the mismatch between the models and the data.
It seems like a different environment now. The debt here sounds like a bank loan or something along those lines where they expected to get paid back in cash. These days, it's more likely to be a VC investment or a Kickstarter or something else where there's no debt created and the people giving the money are just buying some sort of share in the company's potential success.
Is this is a joke or does perl 6 actually use that hyper arrows thing? Reminds me of an old language that used math symbols and had a custom keyboard with those keys on it.
"100 year language..."

God I sure hope not. (Only if it's a lot easier to maintain than Perl 5 maybe...)

I have bad feelings about Perl after having to parse and cleanup a bunch of abominably written multi-thousand line pages full of regular expressions and all manner of cleverness. I mean, I actually hated Perl so badly I believed it was the worst invention ever. Then I saw a well written project and was easily able to understand and felt slightly less negative. So it's not entirely the language, but to this day seeing 'Perl' brings negative emotions to the surface. Something like PTSD I guess. It will probably take 100 years for that to go away and me to willingly look at anything called 'Perl'.

There's a well-trodden argument that much of financial innovation has little positive effect or even negative effect on the larger economy.

Jack Bogle, founder of Vanguard Group:

"The job of finance is to provide capital to companies. We do it to the tune of $250 billion a year in IPOs and secondary offerings. What else do we do? We encourage investors to trade about $32 trillion a year. So the way I calculate it, 99% of what we do in this industry is people trading with one another, with a gain only to the middleman. It’s a waste of resources."

http://time.com/money/3956351/jack-bogle-index-fund/

Paul Volcker, former chairman of the Federal Reserve:

"Echoing FSA chairman Lord Turner's comments that banks are 'socially useless', Mr Volcker told delegates who had been discussing how to rebuild the financial system to 'wake up'. He said credit default swaps and collateralised debt obligations had taken the economy 'right to the brink of disaster' and added that the economy had grown at 'greater rates of speed' during the 1960s without such products."

IMF:

"...the effect of financial development on economic growth is bell-shaped: it weakens at higher levels of financial development."

http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/sdn/2015/sdn1508.pdf

“...above a certain point, further financial expansion is associated with slower growth.”

Actually I was saying that those qualities apply to the _board game_ Go, not necessarily to the Go programming language.
So I'm a bit weirded out by the fact that this has sound reasoning and a solid conclusion, yet it was posted on 1 april.
I hope the opposite. While it is presented as a country management tool, what really is the difference between a country and a charity?
Both have people working at different levels, both need to balance an "economy" of income and expenditure, both need to manage elections and such and such.

Shame it's an April fools joke.
If your brogrammer idea means some poor sysadmin is going to get a bunch of panicked questions, then don't do the damn joke.
I am amazed in reading this.

Granted that the last time I was involved at HD was their 2012 move and shortly after, but at the moment I feel like I have rediscovered something in the middle of an implosion or hyper-political tempest.
Well there are a couple different paths, if I can offer up a bit of perspective.

There's the "generated" music concept sort of like this, that basically creates the piece from zero to finished product. As in, there are tones and sounds and maybe some rhythm in it. Basically it makes a track. There was a post here recently about a 'brain support' music generation program/service thing, and I'm pretty sure the sounds they use would fit in the above description.

The other concept is "element" music generation. This would be a plug-in or software piece that works for a specific instrument. Apple's GarageBand has Drummer[1] and I've had good results using it so far. I think there are others on the market and different examples of a similar concept, like Instant Haus[2]. These aren't stand-alone music generation pieces, but resources upon which to build into a whole.

Ask HN: Where do you responsibly host your personal/small-biz email?
After a number of years with Google Apps for Your Domain (which you can't sign up for free for anymore, anyway), I'm beginning to both worry that AfyD's free service tier won't last, and that Google doesn't necessarily have my best interests in mind (in part because I'm not paying them).

Previously, fastmail has crossed my radar as a potential host that would have the proper balance of technical competence and valuing user privacy/security, but that's really all that comes to mind. I'd prefer not to self-host; keeping my main contact avenue functional should be a decision, not a project.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

AXA Technology Services Advanced Engineering Lab www.axa.com | Lausanne, CH | ONSITE | DevOps

* Environnement

The Lab is located is located on the EPFL campus in Lausanne. The Lab was created in 2014 to contribute to a global strategic program of digital transformation at AXA Group level. The Lab is not only an innovation lab but also, and above all, an engineering team helping AXA entities to “test and learn” their digital “ideas”. We respect the “learning by doing” rule and believe we have the right to fail: we can make mistakes and learn from them in order to innovate in a better way with better tools. Our projects span from IT related topics, to Internet of things, robotics, drones and many other web/mobile related initiatives.

* Domain of responsibility

We are looking for an experienced sys/net engineer, highly motivated and very aware of trends and groundbreaking startups. To support our “learning by doing” principle, AEL has acquired a test bed (POD), fully OCP compliant, as two datacenters in a rack. You will join our team of engineers with the responsibility of evolving and maintaining our platform, but above all, we expect you to help us identifying and testing breakthrough solutions. Promote promising technologies and support the transfer to operational teams is also an important part of the job.

* Mission

Rethink the way we should design our Datacenter infrastructures, and globally our IT to face the future technology challenges (IoT, Big Data, Real-time Analytics, Behavioral User Analysis, etc.) by using state of the art practices DevOps/NetOps and looking further on breakthrough technology solutions (NFV/SDN).

Among responsibilities:

- Deploy and Automate the POD server’s systems

- Perform technology surveys to update/enhance the infrastructure

- Constantly improve the team knowledge with technology watch, white papers, position papers, … and promote new ideas

- Submit new projects ideas to the Lab steering committee

- Implement selected projects and coordinate with external stakeholders when necessary, especially when projects are deployed within the operational perimeter.

- Develop the infrastructure for the team on other innovation subjects (data collection, databases, storage, …)

- Develop a good team spirit and strongly contribute to the Lab reputation

- Develop a good network within the AXA technology community

> [Aviation] professionals are given every reason to cooperate, because they know that investigations are not about finding scapegoats, but learning lessons. Indeed, professionals are given a legal safe space so they speak up honestly(...)

This is probably the single most important thing that aviation got right and I don't think people understand that well enough, in general.

The attitude in the air industry, when something goes wrong, is 1) understand what happened; 2) figure out what needs to be changed so it doesn't happen again. There is no step 3. There especially isn't a step of "punish those responsible" or some such nonsense.

Only the final goal of improving outcomes matters, and indulging the emotional human demand for punishment does not necessarily help that goal, it can even seriously hinder it. If only we could apply the same rationality to, say, the penal system.
