We’re building a way for unbanked people in sub-Saharan Africa to send money instantly and affordably, saving massive fees and heartache. Top reasons you might be interested in working here:

1. We’re on track to have a huge impact—Wave is already used by half of all adults in Senegal (and we’ve saved them hundreds of millions of dollars) and growing quickly in other countries.

2. It’s still early days—you’ll work on shipping critical new products and features with lots of scope and autonomy.

3. The culture at Wave is special - it's a deeply diverse team united by how excited we are to build awesome stuff for our users. We are direct, honest communicators - but also very curious and collaborative.

We’re hiring for multiple roles:

* Senior Software Engineer (Python, GraphQL, K8s) - https://www.wave.com/en/careers/job/4278511002/

* Site Reliability Engineer (Terraform, GCP, K8s) - https://www.wave.com/en/careers/job/5345783002/

Your post here says "Anywhere" for location, but the job description on the website says "between UTC -5 and +4".

Maybe you should clarify that here.


Good catch, fixed! Thanks :)


I noticed there are bi-monthly long-haul trips mentioned in the advert. Does everyone have to attend?


Oops, we need to update it. They are only once every 4 months now.

They are strongly encouraged to be attended whenever possible since they provide so much value! (also, they are a lot of fun!)


Anyone interested in getting into the hobby and would like something a bit different, then you may want to give Infinity a look. I often describe it as X-Com meets 40K. Infinity is similar to 40K in the sense that it’s in the future and sci-fi with aliens, but a few key differences:

* Rules are free and available on the official website for download.

* Gameplay is much more dynamic with the non active player getting to react to moves made by the active player during their turn. (Much less waiting/doing nothing)

* More near future with current nations represented at places

* Fewer religious overtones

* Bladerunner/Manga aesthetics

* Smaller company, but much more community driven

* Played with fewer figures. A typical full length game will have between 10-20 minis per side.

* Well organised digital competitive play tracking with online leaderboards and tournament organising tools. (This makes tournament matchups much more fair as newbies will be matched against other newbies right away etc)

* Rules are quite a bit more complex than that of 40K. Great for people who like that, but certainly a bit of a learning curve for newbies. (Code One mitigates this, see below)

There’s also a new version coming out called Code One that was just announced for pre-orders and is shipping next month. Seems like a good starting point as it’s a slightly simplified and quicker version that can serve as a jumping off point to the full game.

The complexity of the rules turned me off of Infinity. I also didn't like the miniatures - they're smaller and less stylized than Warhammer 40k.

Which is too bad, because I _loved_ the lore of the game. Some absolutely fascinating writing there.


One of reasons i bought Necromunda Dark Uprising - the terrain there is awesome and can be used for infinity too... and for Kill Team.

I have few friends that are into wh40k, but i want to stealthly convert them to infinity :>


Definitely going to give Necromunda Dark Uprising a look then, especially considering the "compatible" terrain. Havent touched Necromunda in a very very very long time, so love the idea of giving it a shot again. Thank you for the tip, and goood luck with your stealth mission ;-)


I have to wait for all the magnets to arrive before i assemble it though. The terrain is very modular and it has pre-made spots to fit in magnets.

I am still drilling spots for few other pieces to make is as modular as possible.

It might be a bit hard to get some of them with all the pandemic going on. At least my paints arrived already.


Here's a link to the full talk for anyone interested:

It helps frame the response a bit more in the context of the question the host asked. (~"is GDPR the panacea?")


This is super useful - thanks for making it!

Will you be adding additional insight for non-U.S. citizens as well?


Yes, I have a number of future topics.

(Note: Non-U.S. citizens can already form an LLC in the United States.)


Far from "learned", but in the process of learning about Quantum Computing. As someone who has always been rather terrible at math and physics, I was really scared to approach this subject. I love computing/programming though, and I think that this is a field with massive potential, so I'm pushing myself way past my comfort zone and engaging my learning-mindset to maximum. If you're curious, I'm also documenting things I'm learning in a weekly newsletter: https://quantumcomputingweekly.com


Thank you for the kind words, happy you enjoyed it!


Thanks for taking a look. At the moment it's only handing receiving email, not sending - disk quota/etc are unnecessary. Cheers that link about names, really good point and quite interesting!


Cost bit should hopefully be a bit more clear now, put on the main landing page along with the December sale section :)


Great question. We mention it in our ToS that we are happy to transfer the domain whenever you want in case you want to take your business elsewhere.


Been ditching my business cards for http://clinck.me/ (no affiliation) over these last few years with great success, maybe worth a shot?
