Lead Developer
Full stack developer required to work in a fantasy sports start up, building out an existing MVP to develop into a second phase live delivery.

YoYo Fantasy Sports is the first platform to launch a single player game in the booming US Fantasy Sports market. Our secret sauce sits within our legal innovation and data science behind how we derive player scores; unlike conventional fantasy sports scoring systems we use in-depth analysis to value players during each game.

We are an early stage start-up with, 1 full time member of staff and 2 part time. We have an advisory board made up of Tim Morgan. CEO of Mint Digital & ex CEO of PickLive and Jeff Benz, a leading sports and entertainment lawyer.

As we are at a relatively early stage still, we’re looking for someone to join our start-up in return for equity, which will be negotiable.

Skills required:
Languages: Python, R, Ruby, CSS, HTML, DB administration knowledge
Real time data processing experience
Statistical analysis exposure
Process automation/optimisation understanding

Key initial objectives:
Migrate a series of R scripts from development into a production ready state
Develop a currently manually run process of calculations into a scheduled batch run process
Integrate automated process with already developed front end to populate a range of screens with both static data and the values produced by the calculations
Maintain existing front end code and implement a series of bug fixes and minor enhancements
Manage integration of 3rd party data provider API and processing of incoming data into back end DB
That isn't the case for Japan. Overweight people are required by the government to attend dieting classes and take personal responsibility. The policy is successful. There's little concrete evidence that cracking down on "tuning food to reward centers" will curb obesity.
JUST MAKE A DATABASE-INDEXED GLOBAL PACKAGE SPACE WITH ON-DEMAND FETCHING BY DEFAULT AND PRE-FETCHING POSSIBLE FOR ALL NEW LANGUAGES ALREADY!
Wanting to kill as many whites and police officers as possible isn't a motive, it's a description. True motives means, what triggered this previously law-abiding man to go off like that?

Looking at the artist's webpage[0], you can find videos[1] of the work as well as different angles. The before/after effect does look fake, though. I think you are right that the before picture is the one being photoshopped.

In fact, those words are not in our constitution but in the Declaration of Independence, which is not a legally binding document.

The Bill of Rights, which is law, doesn't talk about "all men" (neither does the Constitution) but says things like "Congress shall make no law..." or "No warrant shall issue...", and says nothing about " all men".

In the case of terrorism executions specifically the justification given is that they are an act of war.
As with many surveys etc Asians are too small a number to be listed. That's why for many cases, I just tend to look at the white response as I figure that is the closest group to Asians.
Offer a return payment for them of a few cents each. It's how a lot of highways & cities in the US stay clean of aluminum cans - the homeless pick them up and turn them in for a profit.
I never looked deeper into it (because I still fail to see the benefit over a blog), but to me it looked quite like something a single developer can create and maintain.

What did I miss?

(Queue the 'of course you can write a twitter clone in a weekend, but scaling, etc.pp' - but I didn't see This.cm taking off really.)
Interesting this was patentable, it's just applying a known concept (a shape that cuts wind resistance) to ships.
History should be recorded in non-volatile storage immediately, not just on clean exits (can do this in bash, but it needs to be the default).

You should be able to step though history for just arguments (can be done in bash, but needs to be easier).

Take a look at TOPS-20: it had "question-mark help"- any time you hit ?, it told you what the next argument is for.

The terminal emulator should have inline graphical output- it should not be text only. Someone should define a protocol so that you can have full graphical programs running in the terminal emulator. When you exit the program, the last view remains in the scroll-back history.

Some plan9 things are good: network access should be in the filesystem so that you don't need special programs like wget: cp /net/www.google.com/http/index.html foo

Same with local I/O: parameters for opening a serial port should be part of the filename when you open, something like: cp foo /dev/ttyS0:9600n81

The filesystem should be extended to also be a database. SQL is ugly, but some kind of relational algebra query language should be built in:

cat /mydatabase/name="joe" is like 'select * from mydatabase where name="joe"'
Is this about the bow or the bridge? This[1] looks like a hemispherical bow to me. The article talks about wind tunnel tests, making me think they're not talking about under-water features. Are air-based tests valid for fluids with such drastically different density and viscosity (e.g. salt water)?

[1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulbous_bow#/media/File:Constr...

Edited to add: it seems that the "bow" is "the front of the ship"[2] and not specifically any part above or below the water. Looks like in this particular design, the bridge is at the bow, and the bow is round.

That has never been the case. The Constitution only counts slaves as having 3/5 of the value as a non-slave for purposes of electoral representation. Not to mention the whole idea of slavery goes against the ideals of freedom. Even after slavery ended the right to vote was routinely denied to former slaves and their descendants, along with other rights such as due process.
Yeah, none of my friends from outside the country even wanted to attend my wedding, let alone going there for vacation.
But for callbacks, which is much more of a pain.

They could cook on the weekend or on their day off and try to use a crock pot or bake things as those can be done while doing other things at the same time.
I think it looks good.
I'm surprised they got anything at all.

A few hundred dollars a year is nothing for these companies, not to mention that if you actually tried to abuse this to a substantial level I am 100% confident that it would be detected and blocked.

It's like filing a bug bounty that you can sign up for multiple AWS accounts and mine bitcoins in the free tier. Up to a certain level, they just don't care. Past that level, you'll be detected and mitigated against.
Wait, "Hurtigruten" just means "fast route"?
I'm not sure, but isn't this post about showing how to use such libraries?
So then stop using plastic bags? That's the whole point of the legislation.
If you want uncensored search results, you need a decentralized search engine. (Your human friends and fellow hacker news bros are such an engine.)

As long as search engines are centralized, state power will bend them to their will.
It's about the wind resistance of the section of the boat that is above the water.

(which still seems to be part of the bow, but who knows if that is a technical thing or a colloquialism)
Terrorism is a problem of technology. As technology gets better so does the ability for a small group of people to inflict damage. A quiet surveillance state is the inevitable response, and this is what's being described.

AI and drones are the next step, because they are autonomous. It is not known yet how to deal with that. States may soon try to lock down all code for drones and AI from being used by the public.
Looks pretty cool - automatically growing arrays are neat.
Human error and bias are pretty much impossible to eliminate in any system that involves humans making choices.

>As we show later, governments have repeatedly fostered fundamental research and borne the risk of ventures failing.

How do "governments" bear a risk when ventures fail?
This is a good reply and I'll add to it.

Note that CRDT stands for Conflict free Replicated Datatype and there are a few sub-acronym expansions: Convergent Replicated Datatype and Commutative Replicated Datatype.

[EDIT]
I wanted to add that CRDTs were mentioned here because in order for them to provide the kind of guarantees they do they must satisfy the law of associativity (or, be a semigroup), commutativity, and idempotency. So, technically, you have to go further than semigroups with commutative semigroups.
[/EDIT]

At Plum we made heavy use of CRDT's on-top of an eventually consistent whole-state replication technology called Plumtree, no relation to the company's name, just coincidence, within the internet-connected dimmer we built called the Lightpad.

The primary design goal was to enable advanced configurations: Arbitrary groups of Lightpads could be controlled from any other one on the same network by binding it to a specific finger gesture. We also did not want this configuration to be dependent upon any single master, they had to be truly master-less.

In-general, Eventual Consistency is pretty scary when you're deploying it to embedded internet-connected devices where you can't immediately shell onto the device like you can with a server in a data center. I have lots of stories here I'll write about sometime of the pains I encountered while developing this solution and how I ended up on CRDTs.

Strong Eventual Consistency (typically, CRDTs deployed on-top of an eventually consistent substrate), though, is very safe and provides a lot of guarantees about the concurrent behavior of the algorithm as it acts upon your data.

Using a CRDT (specifically the ORSWOT - Observed Removal Set Without Tombstones) eliminated the majority of our pains and concerns with data-loss, conflicting concurrent writes, and integrity in the face of flaky consumer-grade home networks (Plumtree is highly-available and partition tolerant - perfect for our needs where we have to be able to continue moving forward even if a majority or more of the Lightpads go offline and never come back up).
I think it's due to 1 million CCTVs

So far as we know, HRC didn't expose any information. During the time HRC was using her own email server, the official email server she was supposed to use was comprehensively owned up by Russian hackers. It is unlikely but plausible that her emails were safer on her servers.

The reason Justice didn't prosecute HRC was that it was too difficult for them to pursue a narrative around "intent". Comey at FBI wasn't making that part up: the previous cases on the record for negligent, rather than deliberate, exposure were not helpful to the prosecution: for one thing, in every case on the record, the line between "negligence" and "deliberation" was pretty vague --- each prosecuted person had deliberately done things with specific, known pieces of classified information that put them at risk. For another, in each of those cases, classified documents actually leaked (usually to the person who reported them). And finally, in most of the cases, the accused were not civilians and not part of the Intelligence Community.

Three things to know about classified information in the government:

1. Ordinary people who take jobs involving classified information are taught that the penalties for mishandling it are grave, and almost invariably involve prison time.

2. That training appears to be a lie, intended to scare people into being diligent about classified information.

3. There is a long history of leniency for people outside the intelligence community who mishandle classified information. The expectation seems to be that if you take 10 people from State and search their Hotmail accounts, you're going to find stuff.

I don't believe HRC received special treatment. If she had been at State when this story broke, and had been an ordinary employee, she'd have been fired. Termination is not prosecution. At any rate: she can't be fired now: she's already gone.
Putting small motors into furniture now counts as "robotic"? Are we in a new bubble?!
noelwalsh also included a bit about CRDTs, which he didn't expand upon, but is pretty different from "the Map-Reduce programming model" in a few ways. I expanded on the CRDT comment above.
Why do people ask questions like this here? let's turn this around for illustrative purposes....why do you use Akka instead of Orleans? Why don't you use Go?

These questions add nothing to the conversation beyond a veiled promotion of someone's pet technology
I can't read the author's mind and can't speak for him but I don't think each word (especially the word "all") is meant to be parsed literally.

Here's another website called "Destroy All Software" using a similar phrase: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/blog

Gary Bernhardt obviously doesn't advocate removing all software from the face of the Earth. Also notice that it includes blog titles with more bombastic titles:

"One Base Class to Rule Them All"
"Burn Your Controllers"

Those are probably not meant to be interpreted literally. There really is no single universal class that can be used for all cases in every circumstance. Instead of parsing it literally, it may be a riff on LOTR "the one ring to rule them all."

Likewise, don't eliminate your controllers because he said it's universal advice. Maybe the title is a riff on Cortez "burn your ships" or some other cultural meme like women's liberation of "burn your bra."
how about "CruiseControl+" or some other marketing riff on CC, since that's basically what it is.
That's true, but you also increase your technical debt and decrease readability by people not familiar with the library.
Because 1337 hackers don't even see the code.

Intersting idea. Perhaps we should have a system of governance of the "contracts" whereby we elect "representatives" who appoint "judges".
I personally like CFLs in the right context, but if you want instant light, dimming or cooler light, they aren't great.

I'm biased, but I feel like if they really cared about the environment they would encourage licensing this instead of keeping it to themselves.
Conveniently, the retail price includes the direct expenditures on energy to make and transport the item to the store.

I recall the electricity rate being around 0.08 USD/kWh around here a while back, so 1000h of 100W consumption would cost $8. I don't remember exactly what 100W plain light bulbs cost, but it certainly was a lot less than that.
Not legally binding! I think Great Britain thought it was binding - a war was fought over it. Its a founding document of our country, and lays out all the moral principles our Constitution is based upon. It illuminates and explains what those fine words in the Constitution are meant to mean. As such it has been referred to in legal proceedings for centuries.
Unemployment sharply reduced, iraq and afghanistan wars ended, guantanamo in the process of being closed, torture ended. Some people are just never happy. Americans dont deserve him.
Hopefully it's not enforceable.
Firstly, this wasn't a coup attempt organised by all military, only a fraction.

What would a coup solve actually? Does it change people's mind? It is this kind of disrespect to voters which gave rise to popularity of Erdogan in his political life. People are not sheep(sometimes) and they get angry if their choice in polls affected in dirty ways.

For the most of the people in Turkey, this wasn't about the Erdogan. This coup attempt was about democracy and freedom. Most people doesn't think everything is roses, they only think coup would be the worst.

One more thing I noticed is that some people in the world seems that they don't have any disgust for a coup. Turkey has a long history of coups and elder people have told many stories about them. I think that brings some education.
Exactly. In Germany, return payment is 0.25 EURO and it works great. Most people at home collect them and bring to supermarket. Those who throw them on streets, homeless people are more than happy to pick up and cash in. Win-win situation in every angle.

Typical liberal statement, the perpetrator of a crime is the victim. Something triggered him to do it! Remove the triggers and all will be fine.
I mean colour, not spectrum. I don't expect, or at least don't count on, LEDs to reproduce a black-body spectrum.

I recognise that two light sources with the same colour, but different spectra, might give different results when reflected off things. Is that what you had in mind?

I agree, though in this case it has more to do with Dublin apartments generally having crap heating facilities. The landlord knows full well the costs he imposes.

Of course, I could also have looked for an apartment with gas heating, but the reality is the rent here is low enough that simply offsetting the environmental cost of electric heating with power sourced from wind (which is where almost all of this island's renewable energy comes from) is still a better deal.

It may be worth noting that it gets cool, but not especially cold, here, at least by New England standards. In January the average low is 3C, so still above freezing, and snow is rare, though it does happen.
Considering it was the response of the people that was a large factor in the coup failing, there's a lot of people here wishing the Deep State (a name which was coined to describe the situation in Turkey) succeeded, against the will of the people.

But on other days, people here are concerned about interlinked security and military liaisons constituting a Deep State in their own countries, limiting autonomy and democracy.

Have you considered that the rise of Islamism is in part caused by the fact that secular military and security services in Islamic countries were coopted to some degree, and that religious-based politics is harder to subvert in that way?

This looks really bad from the perspective of trusting the currency to actually retain its value. What if you end up on the wrong fork, and that thousands of dollars in Ethereum you accepted to send out physical goods ends up being worthless?

What's the point in saving the DAO if it kills the whole purpose behind the currency?
Poverty, lack of education, and lack of opportunity would be my trio of undermining traits. It's a lot harder to convince someone with a 9-5 job, a family and a mortgage to overthrow the government.

If we think of this as Islamic nationalism, it fits the pattern where things get really bad for common people, and someone rallies them against a perceived other in order to consolidate his own power.

Be wary of anyone who wants to blame an out-group for your economic issues, be it Muslims, Mexicans, infidels, Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, etc. (Why I'm afraid of Trump).

I think sitting at our cushy desk jobs in the west it is hard to empathize with the real hardship people have been experiencing in that region for a long time.

I have no knowledge of the causal direction here, honestly. I think there's an assumption by some vocal pundits that it's Islam -> holy war -> poverty.

I don't think that's clear. More likely it's poverty -> malleable population -> some cause promises to make things good again (Like they were in the caliphate, like they were in any fabled past) -> people believe it and fight for it. There's historical precedent for this.

(Which of course exacerbates the poverty because of wanton destruction of capital/infrastructure, people not being able to leave home, intelligentsia flight, etc). Eventually you get some version of an autocracy. The type of autocracy is to some extent irrelevant, although theocratic autocracies appear to be disproportionately brutal...

Dropping the connection with mere TCP RST (or whatever it is) is fine by me. Accepting the message, saying 200 and then not delivering it (not even to the "spam" folder) — that's what I feared.
He is saying that the result is the opposite of the intent of the law. Telling a single individual to stop using the bags shows it doesn't work. It's like yelling at a user during user testing that they should just click the obvious button.

Laws should have A/B testing before rolling out to everyone.
Take a look at the homicide data alongside gun crime and none of the law changes that reduced gun ownership in the last 50 years has made any noticeable difference to the correlation.

As you go around the world and you look at the number of guns per populace the rates of homicide using them vastly differs, Norway isn't a violent place nor does it have a lot of gun crime but it has a lot of guns. There is plenty of automatic weapon use in the UK, there doesn't appear to be serious problems with smuggling guns in, the only difference is only the bad guys can have them there is no sport use or recreational use at all.
