Karius Inc. | Menlo Park, CA | ONSITE | Software Architect & Sr. Full Stack Engineer

Technical phone screen followed by paired programming session on-site followed by consulting trial if mutually desired.

We are on a mission to help clinicians do more for their patients by bringing the genomic revolution to infectious disease diagnosis. We face incredibly interesting challenges in software engineering, machine learning and molecular biology, as we push the limits of diagnostics and genomic technologies. Join us on the ground-level for this exciting journey to shape our technology, product and company culture.

If you're a software engineer, we're looking for experience in front-end, back-end, intrastructure, devops, bioinformatics, and machine learning. We have a varied list of challenges; we build large data processing pipelines to analyze data from in-house DNA sequencers, separate the signal from the noise and extract what we need, and visualize this in ways that are helpful for scientists and doctor; we build web apps and tools for biologists and doctors to use to plan, conduct, and analyze experiments; we work closely with molecular biologists to analyze data generated by these experiments and develop novel computational biology methods. We use modern tools and technologies like: Python, React, TypeScript, Docker, Haskell, C#, on top of AWS services including: Lambda, Postgres, DynamoDB, RedShift, and ECS.

If any of this sounds exciting to you, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us: gstock@kariusdx.com

I'm not sure if it's pettiness. Perhaps think of it as a societal or economic immunological response. Such actors seek to punish, in whatever ways they can, entities viewed as "bad actors". This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and may actually be a good thing. As in creating social or economic consequences for those who fail to reciprocate resource sharing, these sorts of punitive actions can be net-wins for economy and society. This point goes beyond Uber itself; a conclusion might be that it's great to create a valuable and disruptive service like Uber... but one could be even more successful in doing so if they weren't a jerk about it (or were more savvy about avoiding the perception that they're a jerk).

It may be petty, as you say. Or it may not be. Regardless, it's sad that journalists today don't consistently go after all bad actors, if they're going to do this. Uber seems fairly inept and heavy-handed in managing their leadership brand, but many other companies have proven how simple it is to placate perception while behaving very destructively behind the scenes.

I'm not sure there is really any comparable business. I mean, if you look at the NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA then (i) the executives make orders of magnitude more (ii) the expenses are spread around a much smaller pool of people and training facilities and (iii) the sportspeople play more than once every four years and the second and third tier players are much more widely recognised.

The thing is, you could take away the president of the IOC's not-exactly-FIFA-esque expense account featured in this article and you've got just enough money to pay stipends - the meagre stipends the article complains about - for 10-12 more Olympic hopefuls. And there are 10,200 athletes competing in Rio, and for every athlete that made it, there are several more that devoted years of their time and their local federation's expense budget to trying to get there. Even if the IOC and the Olympic organizing committees had no costs at all and simply passed on all its 1.4bn per annum income on to local federations, there's really not that much to share between training and developing 50k athletes that might make the cut in facilities in 200 countries; certainly not enough to give them proper cash salaries after expenses.

Sure, some executives might be overpaid, but that's really not why most Olympians are poor or indebted until they medal or break into the media and most of them aren't rich afterwards. [It doesn't help that the article conflates the IOC with how the individual US sporting associations choose to divvy up their cash, which I'm sure is more favourable to the senior executives and less favourable to the athletes than the vast majority of national associations.] It's not the monopoly that's keeping athletes from earning an adequate living from Olympic revenue, it's that there's simply not enough money to go around, unless governments or individual sponsors decide to chip in to pay athletes on top of that. Needless to say, athletes already living on the breadline aren't going to be very enamoured with the suggestion of getting rid of the endorsements and ads so they have to pay all their training costs too.
It's the model generators that especially give me pause. I like to noodle around with my fields before putting them in place. I love designing my models in code.
This article was excellent and is still freelancing after 10 years.

http://jenamiller.com/notes-from-a-hired-pen/10-years-of-fre...

And there are lots of posts out there. There are actually more posts about freelance writing, than about freelance programming. Whenever I look for articles about freelancing it seems that writers have the top spots in the Google.

In sum, it's a great field. The need for more content is increasing, and if you are good and make a name for yourself you'll make it.

I suggest that you make a goal to write X words a day. Also, writing a book will increase your Authority, and help you get more work.

Keep on writing.
SEEKING WORK - Node.js distributed systems expert with lots of community involvement. NYC located. Remote and local are both great.

I'm Matt Walters. I've been coding in Node.js since, 2011, when I founded a company that went through TechStars (GoChime was sold to BounceExchange. Yay!). I also run meetup.com/nodejs and empirenode.org. Go #nodejs community!

Some stuff I've built:

- marketing platform for targeted campaigns based on intent expressed on twitter. distributed system including Twitter firehose ingestion, dashboards and analytics, and a micro-payments subsystem to pay individual campaign advertisers.
- a high-tech touchscreen treadmill (100% Node on a real treadmill with a custom Ubuntu box slapped on it, back in 2012. I start talking at 10mins on the vid below link #4)
- a solution to allow private companies to IPO without the help of an investment bank (cool tech! but, in reality the product failed because... CFOs are never fired for choosing Goldman Sachs!)
- a high-frequency capable bond trading exchange (distributed system of 30+ services), built on Node and dropping to C when needed for performance. literally billions of $$$'s traded on it! (the microservices + CQRS + event sourcing architecture are aspects I brought to the company as a consultant, initially tasked with growing the team and building the platform architecture)
- lots of open source libraries that made all of these and other systems work, link #2

My expertise in the last ten years has been mostly in eventually consistent systems. 'Microservices' has popped up as a work to describe what I've been doing since before Node was around. :)

Looking forward to hearing about opportunities to work together!

I'm also more interested in finding a solution. Unfortunately, I'm also human, and defensiveness isn't something I can make magically disappear.

I don't see competitiveness here. I want to see my teammates as people and empathize with them as such.
While I agree (and actually support the concept of State Secrets), I want my Supreme Court cases and the precedences they establish to be grounded in cases where the facts actually support the idea that the government is protecting a state secret, rather than covering up its own problems. The secret documents in the Reynolds case were declassified later, and showed that it was unlikely their exposure would have damaged state secrecy (the russians had already cloned the B29, the accident report didn't give any details on the confidential equipment on board), and a fairly strong argument can be made they showed the government was trying to apply the privilege to hide their own failures in maintaining the aircraft, rather than protect critical secrets).

In short: privilege should be applied sparingly and the precedence for it should be unimpeachable. In this case, the precedence is not unimpeachable; the specific case is still considered contentious.
> And that's assuming your sport is in both the summer and winter events

Which none are.

> If their sport is popular, they should be able to make enough money by competing in other events outside the Olympics.

Until fairly recently (and still for wrestling; boxing, IIRC, was another hold out until this Olympics) amateur status requirements prohibited that in most Olympic sports (though a number of countries evaded that, which is what led to the rules being abandoned.)
I distinctly remember a conversation with a friend when we were both working together around 1989 which was about the propagation of microwaves and the shielding in microwave ovens. He was an Electronics graduate from Durham University and he said that it wasn't properly understood.

Well, it looks like it is now!

I do find it interesting that my friend knew this, but many senior scientists, even at Oxford University, were not aware of it.

A good illustration of the split between theoretical science and its practical application!
There's still significant savings at 5% usage:

100W * 5% * 24 Hours = 120Wh

1W * 24 Hours + 5W * 5% * 24 Hours = 30Wh

So it does depend on the duty cycle - As long as the 5W lightbulb with a 1W computer is used less than ~19 hours a day (80%) you'd still have savings:

1W * 24 Hours + 5W * 80% * 24 Hours = 120Wh

So if the user does not want to trust a certificate installed by someone else on the device, she can "revoke" it?

And by the same token if she wants to explicitly trust a certificate, regardless of who installed it, she can do so?

Does the user have control of the process of "trust" or not?
The entire point of the device, OS and apps is to benefit the user, not some third party trying to hide data being sent from the device... from the user.

Do you believe a user should be able to "MITM" her own traffic or not?
there's nothing to "understand". you assume there is a logic to their actions. there isn't. the guy was a scammy bullshit artist, a wannabe business man who talked his way into others' confidence, and probably has mental issues. these people are out there, and you need to watch out for them.

on a side note, it takes guts to post a story like this. most people don't admit when they are taken like this. they're lucky he didn't try to steal money from them directly.
Hopefully we'll see less tabloids outing people for advertising revenue in the future.

Hii,

I'm an Engineer based primarily out of India. I was working with LinkedIn before starting my own startup in 2014. Post which I have been consulting for about a year remotely. I'm looking for a small team focussed on delivering great user experiences. I'm looking for a salary of USD 80K with some equity.
While investors are willing to pay real money for the slide "Our Growth in China is So Amazing!", life is good for Travis and others.
That week was fraught, as it was the week of a major conference that we were working with. It was the first time we were displaying adverts on someone else’s site through our system, but we couldn’t trust Simon — we had no guarantee that he wouldn’t try and display something malicious.

We had to rebuild the ad system from scratch to ensure that no one could maliciously inject adverts onto our system. It was too much of a risk to leave it in the control of Simon.

Once we got control over the ad system we realised that the adverts were affiliate links, i.e. not unique to us. The companies advertising had no idea they were advertising on our site. We had no relationship with them.

It slowly dawned on us that the financial forecasts we were basing the raise on were useless. It was based on information from Simon on adverts that were not real, and deals that did not exist. The financial model was broken.

I'm sorry but ... what? They ran a company for "a couple years" with at least a handful of staff, and let this one guy come in and overnight effectively take over an utterly critical part of the business even though "He hasn’t paid any of his invoices. We were expecting around £25k from him"

And then they depend on the same individual both to finance and to provide the financial forecasts justifying their must-have funding round, and after it blows up they say "we didn’t see it coming"

> It seems too late to change it now

That's what they said in 1996. Then they said it again in 2006. In 2026 when its interwoven in all sorts of AI systems and still causing confusion, they will be looking back thinking why didn't they fix it back in 2017 when they still could. "Now" is always the right time, it's never too late.
Bugfixes are considered more critical than new features so they get higher priority in announcements (unless you're, like, really excited about it). There are more security and bug fixes in this release than new features, so primarily bugfix release
I installed Brave when it first came out as the ad plan sounded very interesting. There was another attempt using bitcoin in the browser to 'bypass' ads, but unfortunately, it wasn't have been successful (in the network effect sense) I'm still waiting for the LastPass option :)
Collective Health, ( https://collectivehealth.com/jobs/ ), San Mateo, CA (Full time, ONSITE only, VISA-depends, see below)

We're replacing health insurance with a system that members love. Using our SW, platform and services, an employer can pay doctors directly, saving a ton of money and making the employee experience amazing (with the testimonials to back it up).

The company is well-funded, ~two and a half years old and growing very rapidly with sales traction. We punch well above our weight-class with experienced founders, ~200 team members (~ one quarter is engineering), and paying customers.

Our tech stack is a mix of Go and Java components with Angular on the front end. We use a custom service bus to tie our SOA together, microservices style. We love Docker, CoreOS, postgres, automated testing, and continuos integration.

As a company, we're strong believers in transparency, trust and balance. As an engineering team, we believe good code is easy to read and should have a short "time to understanding". We expect all of our engineers to continually teach as well as learn. We also believe that everyone should write good code, yet balance that against the need to ship.

We've got a ton of interesting problems to solve around distributed systems, data analytics and predictions, complex data modeling, ultra high-availability, security, privacy and more.

We're currently looking for experienced SW engineers up and down the stack, back end, infrastructure, data, dev ops, test, generalist, etc. Our biggest needs are DevOps, FE, and SW Engineers in Test (you will be writing cluster level end2end tests, not unit tests), and Backend Engineers.

All open jobs: http://grnh.se/8f7q15

If you are non-technical, but are interested in experiencing a hyper-growth startup, we also are hiring for JIRA workflow automation, operations, business development and other roles as well. If you care about such things, we were recently flattered/embarrassed to be highlighted as one of fifty potential next unicorns by the nytimes: http://nyti.ms/1JLKaCT

We're super proud of the company mission, engineering culture and tech stack we've put together and would love a chance to explain it all in detail!
