GoCardless (YC S11) | London | SRE, Data, Backend, Full-Stack, and Pre-sales/Solutions Engineers | Onsite | Full-time | Visa

GoCardless is building a payments network for the internet. Since 2011 we've been focused on simplifying Direct Debit for small and medium companies (who previously had no access to it) and we've expanded to serve the largest companies (think newspapers, utilities) and connect with existing payment systems in countries all over the world. We already support the UK, Europe and Sweden and are aiming to expand to more countries over the next year.

As an engineering team at GoCardless we care most about stable, reliable, understandable code. We rely on automated testing, code review and a culture of frequent constructive feedback. We define and manage our own roadmap and run projects in whatever way works best for us.

Our stack: Rails, React, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Docker, Chef, Terraform.
We also have a bit of Go (for Infrastructure) and Python (for Data).

We love learning new things and contributing back to the community. We open source everything we can[1] and regularly host meetups and hackathons at our wheelchair-accessible office Between Farringdon and Old Street. We have a bi-weekly bookclub within the team and give internal (and external) talks about things that interest us.

Interview process: an intro call, one technical video interview, then a couple of onsite interviews (coding exercise and some chats - no whiteboards!)

True, but it's a hack...not something fluid/elegant/seamless or efficient. I'm not a software engineer. I'm just a traditional engineer that wants an OS written for a power user that allows me to do my job more efficiently. Dealing with a multitude of wrappers is worth it if you're writing production software of course, but not if you write a lot of one off scripts for day to day work.
Debugging in CLion with gdb and the intellij-rust plugin is already quite pleasant.

It even works remotely attached to bare metal embedded projects on stm32 microcontrollers!

Unfortunately debugging isn't available with intellij-rust in the free IDEA community edition.

After evaluating various OSS video editors, I settled on Shotcut, and have been using it to make daily videos.

Its simple, functional, and does exactly what I need to do: cut, arrange, and splice clips and audio and export video.

I'm not going to say its the best, I'd really like to have the ability to dub in app instead of running audacity in the background, and I find its ability to put titles and text kinda wonky.

But its a simple tool that does exactly what I need to do and is Open Source.
Yes, but my point is that the Play Store inherently allows for competition and limit's Google's control because they chose to develop it on a platform that allows for competing app stores and sideloading. Regardless of Google's choices in managing the Play Store, that stark difference between Google's approach and Apple's approach remains.
Nope.

The whole point of Web Components is that all of the innards of components are completely encapsulated in a component, the 'client' of a component only cares about setting its attributes and responding to the events that it emits. (And perhaps supplying external styles.)

I also think your claim of having to use 3rd party libraries for anything non-trivial is false, but let's ignore that for now.
I think it’s safe to say that the cotton gin did not exist before Eli Whitney.

This is highly localized to India, but Reliance Jio offers all three. Widest LTE coverage, fastest and most modern data infrastructure, cheapest plans. They're literally killing incumbents like Vodafone and Idea.

To give an idea about the prices, I pay ₹349 ($5.46) for unlimited voice plus 1GB high speed data per day. Oh and this is not a monthly plan, it's for 3 months!

> They're literally making up money as they see fit.

I'm playing devil's advocate here (I agree that the whole Tether situation is concerning), but also genuinely curious - is this any different than what banks have been doing for forever with fractional reserve? Even if Bitfinex is overcommitted and there's more USDT in circulation than they have in USD reserves, is there a problem unless a lot of people try to convert at once?

Aye aye! Both Telegram and Signal scare me.

We're building an MIT/ZLIB/Apache2 Open Source End-to-End Encrypted alternative that is a fully P2P decentralized app (dApp), see: https://hackernoon.com/so-you-want-to-build-a-p2p-twitter-wi... !

Currently it supports signed/verified messages, haven't added cyphered/private messages yet to the API, but it is available in the SEA (Security, Encryption, Authorization) utility library underneath - but that should be coming soon, and of course love any contributions!

Also, the "server" has no special application logic on it, it is just another peer in the network that can help with WebRTC signaling or being a websocket relay. It cannot middleman the data, because every message is signed via the "client" (technically there are no server/clients, everybody is just a peer) using latest native Web Crypto API!

Here is a demo of an example social network app that is syncing character-by-character with cryptographically verifiable sources across a test network of real world devices: https://youtu.be/C3akdQJs55E

Again, all truly Open Source (ie, MIT/ZLIB/Apache2)!
You could say that humanity has repeatedly and organically come to a solution broadly known as government and regulation.

I pointed that out (Facebook even took them to court later on). But I remember running into at least two German equivalents that couldn't be based more on Facebook than merely fitting the description of "MySpace but for coeds".

The point is that Facebook wasn't revolutionary. It just seems so in hindsight because of its success and how much it overshadows everything else.

Everything stands on the shoulders of giants. Sometimes some of the giants get squashed. Sometimes some fall off the other giants. But in the end it's just a massive pyramid of giants standing on each other's shoulders.

Facebook, MySpace, LiveJournal, GeoCities. There was plenty of cross-pollination and incremental changes. Revolutions? Not so much.

I've used some of their NanoPI M1 and other similar boards by other vendors (Orange PI PC and Zero) with great success, although not in any cluster configuration (mainly SDR and other "normal" stuff). The power/price ratio is generally more favorable compared to the RasPI boards, and there is some good information on the Armbian forums on how to get fine CPU throttling, which would probably be of interest in such a scenario.
>> i get what you're saying, but doesn't this mean that value of USDT is fake rather than value of BTC?

If two billion tokens which people have taken to be as good as USD have entered the market, they will have inflated the price of BTC and other coins

>> in the end it's those that hold USDT will run to sell it either for USD or BTC, which would push BTC price even higher? now that would be ironic!

The price in USDT and USDT-only exchanges could indeed rocket, but the price in real actual USD would be expected to fall. I don't think that's ironic ... ?

--edit-- I seem to be rate limited at the moment so I am going to reply to the post below, here.

Why do you think, in a situation where tether fails, that the BTC/ETH price on bitfinex would change?

The price of BTC in tethers may rocket, but the price of ETH in tethers also would rocket, as nobody would want tether. The price of ETH in BTC is unlikely to move much.

There's no arb opportunity I can see.

> Regulation is the correct solution.

I once read (here, perhaps) that Bitcoin is a long demonstration in how regulation comes to exist.

I think many in the Bitcoin community conflate "regulation" with "monetary policy". They assume if bitcoin is treated like money, with laws that protect people from fraud, that must somehow lead to restrictive monetary policy, which the community tends to abhor.

WireWheel | Full Stack Developers | Washington, DC; Arlington, VA | Full-time | ONSITE

WireWheel is an exciting venture-funded startup that is developing an all-new SaaS platform for companies to manage, use, and monetize data they have collected about people while complying fully with US and international privacy requirements. As the use, collection, and sharing of personal data has grown; so has the need for companies to show that they are doing the right thing with customer information and to demonstrate that they are complying with laws like the new European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) coming in May 2018. We are applying advanced machine learning and data analytics to a serious challenge for today’s data-driven enterprises.

WireWheel has the team, investors, customers and product to tackle these data privacy and data protection challenges. WireWheel was founded by a combined team with deep policy and database experience – including the former lead US Negotiator on Data Privacy and Data Protection issues, along with a leading US expert on database systems. WireWheel has built its Data Privacy Management (“DPM”) Platform to tackle these issues as a service, and the company has early Fortune 500 customers on board.

Please see https://stackoverflow.com/jobs/companies/wirewheel for more details and open roles, or reach out to ed@wirewheel.io with any questions.
I can't seem to find the source code.
I don’t think the price dynamics looks great for Bitcoin, even if one wishes to think of it as a long-term investment. Since a lot of, perhaps most, people buy it for speculation but the price has gone sideways for a number of reasons. If it stays sideways for a while and then it drops, some speculators will start to panic which might cause further drops.

Also, some people who made handsome profits from early speculation have got out, and new money who might have less faith came in. These people are likely more sensitive to bad news.

Maintaining the prices or increasing it a bit might be possible but to get it to rise stratospherically like last year is unlikely because of the amount of money required to balance with those who cash out for other coins and other investments.

This is unless there is a huge change in regulatory landscape and popular mindset—-that is, Bitcoin becomes widely thought of as a good long-term store of value—which are unlikely.

The analysis above is mostly about Bitcoin, although it will likely have side effects on most other cryptocurrencies as well.

That is, the upside for a well diversified crypto portfolio is limited now (Feb 2018), almost certainly much less upside in percentage terms than in 2017. Although one could beat the market by picking the right horses, as in other markets.

... and the downside could be quite an abyss.
The problem wasn't that we didn't have decentralized solutions since the 1960s -- it was that we've never figured out a way to make hosting your own environment as easy / cheap as using an externally managed one.
