Draft | Operations/Backend/SRE/DevOps Engineers | New York, NY | Onsite | Full-time | Salary: $135-$170k

Do you...

Enjoy building scalable, distributed systems with automation and modern tools?

Love telemetry and monitoring and view them as a means of validating success as much as diagnosing problems?

Know how to apply best practices to enable building of a resilient system across multiple geographic regions, as well as within a single zone?

Have enough determination to solve the vexing issues -- and the prudence to leave the non-pertinent challenges for later?

Have a "buck stops here" attitude, and feel personal responsibility for the availability and success of projects you contribute to?

Draft

DRAFT (get.playdraft.com) is the first truly mobile sports fantasy game. On DRAFT you can do quick head-to-head drafts with your friends (or random opponents), or draft in groups, leagues or tournaments. And you can even win real money doing it.

Team

We're proud of our flexible, collaborative atmosphere that stresses quality and efficiency over sheer velocity. We're looking for people who value integrity and humility, and take pride in the work they do. Our hierarchy is very flat and everyone is empowered to make or contribute to important decisions.

Scale

We were recently acquired by Paddy Power Betfair (ISE: PPB) and are preparing for a significant increase in users as a result of cross-promotion and the start of the NFL season. Accordingly, we’re looking for a few talented operations and back-end engineers to form the core infrastructure team to help us scale, build new features, and improve our engineering tools.

It's not trivial to get money into the cryptocurrency system as it is even with trusted companies like Coinbase. For it to come closer to ubiquity, it's going to need to be trusted companies to help money enter the market and for it to be used as universally as VISA or Mastercard. Those payment points (Best Buys, Amazon, etc.) and hard currency exchange points (CoinBase, Gemini, etc.) are always going to be subject to regulation by local governments, as they should be.

Trusted points and regulation/taxes doesn't remove the benefits (distributed nature, smart contracts, and visibility) of a cryptocurrency like Ethereum. They are going to grow based on big corporate support and adoption. In fact, it's already happening: http://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/23/bigger-than-bitcoin-enterpris...

> According to Gallup, 91% of Americans in 1948 claimed to be Christian, compared to 69% in 2016. [0] I would assume "formally religious" is tracks similarly.

This is kinda tangential, but according to a very interesting panel discussion a few weeks ago "formally religious" (as measured by church attendance) as actually been more or less constant over this period. The 22% drop includes few who regularly attended religious services. The relation to the panel discussion, and somewhat to this one, is that the drop in nominal adherents has been part of what has fuelled the moralist resurgence on the right since the 90s.

I think the main issue is that you need a solid grasp of the qualitative side of finance to build working quant models. Pms are responsible for quant model construction and they all get cfas because that is base level finance understanding.

Want a big idea? Solve the Plastics Problem: disrupt the packaging industry
Where are the startups working on solving "The Plastics Problem"?

Our society is PAYING plastics companies to create a seemingly infinite quantity of garbage that we throw into the sea and our land based environment.

The company(s) that solve The Plastics Problem stand to become gigantic because packaging is a vast industry.

Here's the best idea I have - it's yours free: standard sized, reusable packaging

- Imagine a future in which we do not create single use packaging.

- Instead, society uses a small range of standard package types.

- These packages can be cleaned and reused.

- A deposit is paid for use and return of each of these reusable standard sized packaging items.

- The reusable packaging is made from some extremely durable material such as for example Gorilla Glass.

The goal being to end the "garbage creation" industry - also known as the "packaging" industry.

Someone needs to solve this - the world is filling up with plastic single use packaging garbage.
Wouldn't that be xray vision?
It is actually surprisingly difficult. I have been trying to open a Coinbase account for like two weeks. First week I was stuck in a limbo state where my attempts at adding my visa were stuck (because of a bug on their end - took them long enough to fix, must be interesting being VP of Operations at Coinbase). Now, I have finally added it, but it is in a "pending state" and the verification process is taking too long than it is worth.

How do people do it (buying BTC, or ETH)?
Yeah I think that's accurate. Pretty close to Stoicism, you know.

Enjoyable, if verbose, read. Reminds me a bit of American Gods. There are a handful of startups that are offering genuine attempts at innovation and progress and, of course, a lot of garbage. It feels relatively slow moving until you realize how much you work differently, eat differently, drive differently than just a few years before. Like being slowly boiled alive in a bathtub.

Really?

See here: http://www.tsp-data-portal.org/Breakdown-of-Electricity-Gene...

U.S. generated, per 2014 data, 1612 TWh from Coal and 1272 TWh from Gas. China generated 3681 TWh from Coal and 91 TWh from Gas.

Compare this to India, which generated a mere 800 TWh from Coal and 89 TWh from Gas.

And this when India has more than 4 times the population of US and according to some estimates, unverified, more population than China.
I'm a stone skipper, though not competitively. And yes, if I'm standing on a beach, then I probably do have a lot of free time. My particular version of the sport is to see if I can get the most improbable stone to skip at all.
Indeed. India has a coal glut on their hands. India was opening one new coal planet every month at the end of 2015. Around the same time India's Arvin Subramanian coined the term “carbon imperialism" during Paris accord negotiations because India didn't like the terms.

As expected, much more favorable terms were renegotiated to get India on board; India now gets to grow their CO2 emission as a function of GDP. A simple extrapolation of this shows they'll double their already huge CO2 output by the end of the decade, far surpassing the US.

Made the deal a lot easier to sign.

> Most of the cheap plans are prepaid or resellers but those that advertise LTE really do give LATE in my experience.

The question is, which level of LTE? If it's capped at anything between 10-15 MBit/s there will be no advantage over HSDPA, versus the 150+ MBit/s you can get via proper LTE.

> The O2 network here is terrible for 4G I agree the other two are much better.

Yeah, but markedly more expensive.

> Is the lower priority actually noticeable though?

Go to any bigger event, say a huge anti-nazi rally, Oktoberfest or rock festivals. I was in Cologne a couple of weeks, approximately 20k people attended. My LTE tablet (O2) had no internet at all. My business phone (Vodafone) had proper internet access, and my private cellphone (Lebara, using Telekom network which is inarguably the best) had massive issues.

This is so cool, but its driving me crazy. I was wondering if someone could provide me with more resources that help intuit about 4d space. For example, in Miegekure, he walks through the 4th dimension to get to the other side of the wall, but thats assuming that no part of the wall extends into the forth dimension (aside from rubble). What would happen if he switched back to the normal 3 dimensions in the middle of the wall. In miegekure everything is kind of discretized (grassy area to desert area), but in reality that would be continuous. What would that actually look like, for example, the area right next to the wall? How would this work at a subatomic level, would electrons be traveling in and out of the 4th dimension? Could this explain things like action at a distance or black holes? How does the explain shared surfaces in the 4th dimension? I can't even answer a basic question like, if I were sitting in an easy chair and started looking down the 4th dimension what would happen. Since it has to share one cross section of the easy chair would it have to be simply a fatter or skinnier easy chair? But that is true for any cross section of the chair correct? The easy chair is the 3d cross section of the 4d object then what (would/could) the 3d cross section exchanging one of our spatial dimensions for the hidden one look like? How does gravity work in those 3 dimensions (2 of our spatial dimensions + 1 of the hidden dimension). Supposing the world was like this, wouldn't it be obvious if any object was extending into the 4th dimension thus we can stand to reason our world must be strictly 3 dimensional? If there were 4 dimensions since we can't see or interact with it, does it stand to reason that the spatial extent of any object doesn't extend into the 4th dimension?
For example, since the three dimensional projection of a hypersphere changes diameter, does that mean the 4d dimensional analogues of earth are just different size earths?
I also notice that in one of the miegekure videos the windmill in the new 3d space is like a cross section of the windmill but extending for a distance, Im guessing this is a product of the way the 4th dimension is discretized but Im wondering, what would that really look like if the game weren't made that way?
It's crude because it's too general. Making three right turns might be the right choice on a busy street in SF, but on a side street in a quiet suburb, making a single left is normally the better choice.

I don't accept that racism and misogyny are still embedded in social systems. Western colonialism doesn't exist anymore, unless you count overseas military bases. And capitalism is undoubtably tarnished, but few claim otherwise. Capitalism has lifted millions out of poverty and increased absolute wealth significantly.

The largest stomping boots belonged to people like Stalin and Mao, who were far from conservative and ostensibly for equity. History tells us who's interests they cared for.

Many people with power will attempt to retain and increase their power by exploiting others, regardless of their political ideology or the social system they're part of - it's human nature. Their corruptive success may be mitigated by suitable social organization, but my contention is that social Marxism will actually increase their success.

A primary goal of conservatives is preserving what works, at the expense of attempting alternatives. I'm not broadly conservative, but on this issue I think it's worth preserving the values that allowed the West to prosper. Judeo-Christian values like virtue and work ethic. Enlightenment values like individualism, free speech and personal property. Modern values like mass education in science and reason.

Postmodernism deconstucts and equalizes everything. It has no respect for what works in the real world or how difficult it is to evolve relatively stable and fair societies.

If you think the corruption in our current system makes it untenable, how do you propose stopping corruption from once again infesting a Marxist replacement? Would it not be better to patch what we already have?

You do not have a monopoly on understanding. And it is rather arrogant of you to assume your understanding is superior. Your own lack of interpretation of what she said is highly disingenuous especially when taken in context with the plans to concentrate on an EU armed forces, the plan to withdraw Bundeswehr from all foreign NATO missions by 2024, the declaration not to meet the 70bn euros spending by 2024 because according to Sigmar Gabriel, it is "neither reachable nor desirable". These are not the views of extremists, they are the views of government officials.

Shitting on other people products with vague and inaccurate criticisms isn't a good deed, it's just bad form. People don't need you to "show them how to think for themselves." The other guy is right, either make a sound and specific criticism or don't say anything. You did exactly what he said, you made a bad argument which he refuted, then you moved the goal post so as not to appear wrong, while still leaving out the necessary detail to disprove your new vague claim, rather than admitting your mistake and making a better argument that included specifics about what is missing.
