Bloomberg * New York City * Full Time * Onsite

I lead the Data Infrastructure team for Bloomberg Structured Products and we are always looking for talented engineers to join our team. Structured Products is a team of ~120 engineers and we have positions open across our team - for people looking to get involved on the finance aspect of things to people interested in just tech. Our technology stack is built using Python, C++ and JavaScript but experience with those languages is not necessary. Nor do we require any prior experience in finance but a general aptitude for finance is welcome.

Ongoing projects:

⁃ Migration to a new service-oriented architecture serving billion+ requests per day. We have access to a cluster of hundreds of very powerful Linux machines to serve data, run simulations and provide a plethora of analytics to clients both internal and external.

⁃ Maintaining the Bloomberg Asset Backed Security database - includes writing cashflow models for thousands of securities and ingesting data from dozens of ‘trustee’ websites.

⁃ UI overhaul - as we migrate to the new infrastructure we are also rewriting the entire suite of Bloomberg Functions available through the Bloomberg Terminal.

Why us?

⁃ Bloomberg is one of the best places to work if you have any interest in financial technology

⁃ The Asset-backed Security industry went through a radical transformation since the sub-prime crisis (highly recommend reading The Big Short). Most firms now demand clean and accurate data and there are a very few places in the world that can deliver solutions at the same scale as us.

⁃ The Structured Product team is a really fun place to be in. We are a bunch of people who really enjoy working with each other and we greatly value hard-work and innovation.

Note that I represent just one group at Bloomberg. There are tons of other opportunities available and I’m willing to help you search for the right spot in the company. Our biggest engineering offices are in New York City, Princeton and London.

For awhile, CISC architectures (basically, just "architectures" before RISC came around) kept accumulating features. I took a VAX assembly language ("VAX Macro") class, and I remember that there was a string compare command in VAX Macro that was about as full featured as what you'd expect in some kind of standard library.

So I'm not surprised to learn that there's something in an Intel architecture like this: Intel is just showing its CISC roots. Since it's associated with SSE, there's probably something advantageously parallel about it.

To my eye, the story here is how awful VC is as an asset class.

Like, this is as good as it gets, guys. This is it. Even with these returns being kinda so-so (relative to the lack of liquidity, ten year return cycle, et cetera), these guys are easily in the top five percent of VC firms.

Dumb old index funds are going to roughly double your money in ten years with reinvestment of dividends. If a VC can't hit 3x, the numbers don't really add up to make it worth your while to write a big check and just park it for a decade.

The point of the article is that even the best of the best can miss those numbers and still be in the top fifth percentile.

Yikes.

These statements need to be backed with skin in the game. How much are you willing to invest in these bonds? Would you transfer your current savings account all into these bonds?

These bonds are medium risk... you get all of the downsides of when they go bankrupt but none of the upsides of if they become wildly successful.

Karr Lab (http://www.karrlab.org) @ Mount Sinai Medical School | New York, NY 10029 | Full-Time | ONSITE

The Karr Lab at the Institute for Genomics & Multiscale Biology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking talented, ambitious engineers to develop technology for building, simulating, and applying cutting-edge whole-cell computational models of individual cells.

We are developing whole-cell computational models which comprehensively predict how behavior emerges from the molecular level by representing all of the biochemical activity inside cells. Our goal is to use whole-cell models to transform bioengineering and medicine into rigorous, quantitative disciplines. Our work is highly interdisciplinary, involving systems biology, genomics, bioinformatics, data integration, parallel simulation, optimization, software engineering, and data visualization, and highly team-oriented.

We are looking for software engineers to develop several technologies, including a domain-specific language for describing whole-cell models, a parallel multi-algorithmic simulator, scalable tools for visualizing and analyzing high-dimensional simulation results, and tools for handling personal `omics data.

> Types determine what the developer has certified as making sense.

Types determine what computations make sense, even before any program is written at all.

> There can (and as far as we know, always does) exist an isomorphism between the higher-typed function that the developer has implemented and the TM-computable nat->nat.

Are you sure you're talking about isomorphisms in the mathematical sense? https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/isomorphism I'm talking about a pair of morphisms:

forward :: Foo -> Bar
backward :: Bar -> Foo

Such that they compose to identities:

backward . forward = id :: Foo -> Foo
forward . backward = id :: Bar -> Bar

I'm pretty sure there's no isomorphism between `nat -> nat` and `forall a. a -> a`. Just to give one example.

> And and I was saying that the CTT is equivalent to saying that there is an isomorphism between a TM-computable nat->nat and any function that can be computed at all.

What category are you working on?

> you can't refute by CTT by defining Turing-complete language that lacks some critical access and say, "well, that's a function I guess it can't compute!"

I'm not refuting the Church-Turing thesis! Why would I want to? I even believe it's true... in some models. (Yes, truth is relative to models of a theory. Unlike provability.) I'm only saying that the CTT only claims what it claims. You're making extra conclusions that don't follow from the CTT's statement.
This is great and is something that should be done to the Play store (or maybe it is but it's ineffective?). I can't tell you how many times I redownload an app I had on an old phone and apparently it hasn't been updated since like 2012 and it simply crashes on start on the newer versions of Android and yet it still let's me download and install it. Very frustrating.
This is fantastic.

I think ReactOS is one of the most amazing projects ever. Windows NT has a pretty interesting design, which is absolutely worth preserving both for historical purposes and as scaffolding for future OS work, and with this in mind, having an alternate and open source implementation does the humanity some real good.

It's too bad FreeVMS isn't actively being developed.
Tesla is an energy company that just happens to make cars, batteries, and solar panels. Or so they would like to be.

If you look a the energy industry now, there's an iron triangle, if you will, between fossil fuel extraction, electric utilities, and the automobile industry. Tesla is aiming to replace all three sides with solar, batteries, and electric cars. A person could use Tesla products and, in theory, not interact with the current energy sector of the market at all. Which, if it works, would be some kind of disruption!
Plebs just aren't entitled to "no charges are appropriate in this case".

It's odd how people will contemplate past failed societies and file them as some sort of barbaric "other". But this is what lawful corruption actually looks like, right in front of our faces.

Question: could DNS rebinding be used to tap into 1Password inter-process communication? They use localhost websockets for IPC; it's authenticated through the request origin and then through verifying the PID is in fact the browser [1].

DNS rebinding could definitely get around the PID check, but could it spoof an origin to something like "safari-extension://com.agilebits.onepassword4-safari-2bua8c4s2c"?

The primary purpose is to make/maximize profits because that's what the shareholders want, not as an essential part of being a corporation.

Gotta love how easy the "how" part is. Just a 226MB installer and a tiny README, script, and config packaged by the author. I was wishing for something like this for FreeBSD while reading the desktop tutorial [1] last week (2.6GB installer and a whole lot of manual config).

The fact that at least a firewall comes preconfigured seems like a big deal for people who just want to get a basic system going and not mess that part up.

>A high school graduate, Lazar had no formal training or computer expertise. He told the New York Times that he obtained access to high-profile people’s email and social-media accounts by reading their Wikipedia pages and guessing passwords based on their personal information.

If true, this is even more concerning.
The series is awesome, but the book on which it's based is even better: Andrew Chaikin's "A Man On The Moon".
But...they're bonds.

If everything goes absolutely swimmingly, you will not make more than 6.5 percent on your investment. They're not going to give the bondholders a tip/bonus/whatever.

If you believe that Tesla + SolarCity is going to be a powerhouse, I'd consider buying the stock instead. Alternately, if you're looking for a 6.5 percent return, there are less risky ways to get it (it's about the expected annual return from a broad index fund).

I'm honestly not sure who these bonds make much sense for. The implied bet is something like "they're not going to do great, so the stock will not rise, but they also will not go bankrupt so I will get my principal back." On the other hand, if you are emotionally invested in the idea of self-driving solar powered electric cars and are willing to tie up some money to make that dream come true...I can see the appeal. (I own a tiny bit of TSLA for the same reason).
Total Tesla sold battery capacity is about 10 GWh. For comparison, Nissan has sold 6 GWh, and Chevrolet has sold 2 GWh. But all are beaten by Toyota, who have sold more than 17 GWh in their hybrid vehicles.

For further comparison, the total capacity of existing pumped hydroelectric storage plants is 740 000 GWh. (This puts plans of battery-based electricity storage in a rather harsh perspective.)
> Lazar stored megabytes of victims’ stolen private documents and turned them over to media outlets.

Megabytes? As in just a couple of pictures? That can't be right.
