Fighting Cancer | Freenome | South San Francisco, CA | Full-time Front-end and Back-end | http://www.freenome.com/
We are a startup developing an early cancer and general health test by using machine learning on sequenced cell-free DNA. It is a breathtaking science which is just now being discovered through the convergence of novel machine learning methods and the proliferation of inexpensive DNA sequencing. Our next step is a critical inflection point as we work to spread our technology through a beautiful consumer product and scale our scientific infrastructure to an unprecedented scale. If we succeed, we can drastically improve humanity's fight against cancer through detection at an early, curable state. For this to work, we need great engineers at all levels of the stack who can take complete ownership of what they build. Message me at brandon.white@freenome.com for more information.
Influencing Others: 6 Reasons Why People Say Yes
Booking.com - Amsterdam(Netherlands), Shanghai (China), Seattle, WA (USA), ONSITE Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.

General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned through years of experience of doing this.

If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news). To have an idea of the kind of problems being solved here, you can also look at our dev blog:http://blog.booking.com/

Factr | New York, NY | Python3/ReactJS/AWS

Factr helps international organizations (UN, etc..), teams, and individuals find and share the information they need so they can make better decisions. Right now, the world is changing so fast that nobody knows what's going on (or what's already happened and what one's organization already knows).

Our office is located in Tribeca and we're looking for anybody (2+ years experience) interested in working on an early stage angel-funded platform that's live with customers and using the latest technology. You would be joining a team of 4 onsite (plus 2 remote). Our stack is ReactJS/Python3/Django built on top of AWS/Ansible. I'm a serial startup CTO and you'll definitely learn a ton from being here. There are real leadership growth opportunities for more senior people as well.

We're open to remote work but only for exceptional candidates who already have extensive experience working remotely.

Email me: adam (at) factr.com
As a hiring manager, I think this is a great idea. Also, a lot of remote-friendly companies will let you WFH a few days per week, which is a good way to get accustomed to it without going all-in, and compare the gaps between your remote vs. on-premises workdays. A good manager at a remote-friendly company can usually also help you learn to be a more effective remote worker.
I've seen posters for the Edinburgh DC throughout some of the Amazon offices in Seattle and it looks like you guys are doing cool stuff :). I'm not looking to change teams right now, but I'll probably get in touch sometime in the future since I lived in Scotland for 7 years (Aberdeen) and I'd love to get back someday.

Out of curiosity for myself and others, is there a preference for local candidates over moving US based people over (whether internal or external)?
T550. Probably the best laptop that I've ever laid eyes on. I can switch batteries while it's running because it has two batteries. I get a total of 16h of normal-duty work time out of it. It has 16 GB of RAM and a NVMe as well as a SSD, 3K screen and a pretty good touchpad and usable keyboard.

I think the build quality is nice, it has a serious appeal to it and has a nice weight and feel to it when carried.

I've been eyeing the XPS 13/15 and took them for a spin at recently an MS store, though I'd get the dev/Linux version. Some things the reviews never seem to mention:

Nice screen, but it is quite glossy which sucks at my place with lots of windows. There is a matte option, but only with the low resolution screen. Not sure why a developer would ever want to use a glossy screen on ultra portable. Perhaps if you travel from dungeon to dungeon.

Second, the super thin keyboards in rage now have very little key travel. The XPS is better than the small macbook, but much worse than last years Pro. It is also a lot worse feeling than my old XPS. It makes a clanking sound when you use it. I was able to avoid that by touching very lightly, so partly my own fault but touching so lightly is less satisfying on some level. Perhaps the new Pro has a better keyboard but the Apple store did not have it in stock yet.
Hi Olivia,

I sent an application via email on the 13th of October, and I was hoping to receive a response either way. Thanks.
Does anyone actually buy anything from the Windows Store? I'll admit, I haven't looked much lately, but the last time I looked, there wasn't much besides shovelware.

I think the only thing I've ever paid for from there was GameDev Tycoon, back before they got on Steam.

I don't suppose, if you're not aware of any investigation against you. Besides that you don't have to testify against yourself (in a functioning democracy that is)

Edit: obligatory IANAL :)
In today's job market if you have a "hot" frontend skill you are actually pretty likely to get a gig working from home even as a first job. What's nice about frontend from that perspective is it's complex enough to require time and effort to get up to speed to but also can be "grokked" and worked on without the "enterprise" setup backing it up. And to top that off it's easy to showcase - github/heroku etc.
Some background: Tax and earnings data of every Finn are public information. They cannot be accessed online, but anyone can call the tax office and ask for information about someone. Journalists can also order the data on USB stick. Each year around this time the information is released and naturally news are full of scoops and comparisons.
As alluded to in the stack overflow comments, Carl de Marcken (ITA Chief Scientist) wrote some code to determine the longest possible shortest path between two airports with scheduled flights. At that time (circa 2000) the answer was Wasu, New Guinea to Peawanuck, Ontario. The best you could do was something like 48 hours and involved a very large number of flights. On a bad day the best you could do was over 90 hours.

Maybe somebody at Google could run the lisp function that computes that on current data and post the answer.
I also work for one of the ventures here. Very dynamic and friendly multi-cultural environment, we just got a new open air space to have lunch or do work.

I am would have to research a lot if people got Ubuntu to work there well. Last time I tried 2 yrs ago on my then old Macbook pro, took 2 days to configure everything. Then battery life simply was not that good and I went back to osx.

CodeGophers founder here.

First off, congrats to Adam for getting his idea launched and hitting the top of HN with his first project.

Adam came to us with idea, designs, domain, and coding as much as he could. We helped him finish the coding portion, explaining the changes and tools we were making to get the site ready to go. He was involved in every step and learned a lot from the process. I think most coders got some (or a lot) of help when they just start out.

CodeGophers helps people make MVP's as fast as 48 hours over email, and we get all sorts of people writing in. Some are like Adam who are just starting out learning coding, some are designers/marketers who don't know any coding at all and others are more experienced people who just don't have time to build the MVP.
Gatecoin (http://gatecoin.com) | Hong Kong ONSITE | Multiple Positions | Fulltime | (INTERNS may also be welcome, VISA sponsor)

We're a regulated exchange for bitcoin, ether and other blockchain assets based in Hong Kong, with many projects in our backlog!

We're looking for technical folks to join our growing international team of blockchain technology specialists:

a) Linux DevOps/Security

b) Devs (Frontend, Backend, Fullstack, Mobile soonish via Xamarin)

c) UI/UX Designers/Devs

If you're a DevOps sysadmin with an obsession with reproducible environments (we use RedHat's Ansible with Azure Debian VMs, although we're pretty much CloudProvider agnostic), then this might be you're place. We also hope you're not afraid of functional programming when it comes to developing scripts.

If you're a dev, our stack in the backend is mainly C# with some bits of F#, with a MySQL/Redis storage. In the frontend we use AngularJS (moving to TypeScript).

Get in contact to know more at andres at gatecoin dot com, using the subject "Interested in Gatecoin roles".

We help with sponsorship/relocation to Hong Kong.

Some nice perks we have:

- 10% of "free to tinker" time on crypto currency projects

- 10% of remote work time allowed

- International, friendly work environment (more than 7 different nationalities in one office!).

Want to make a difference in the blockchain space? Join like-minded people and work together to bring about the decentralized financial revolution!
Imagine location A experiences an entropy decrease Y. To compensate, location B experiences an entropy increase >Y, and thus the 2nd law of thermodynamics is upheld. Under typical conditions, those two locations must be directly connected. The biosphere of the Earth, which is a local decrease in entropy, receives insolation directly from the sun, and radiates directly into space.

The impression I get from the article is that the newsworthy idea here is that those two locations might not need to be directly connected. This would permit what looks like a perpetual motion machine. But overall the 2nd law would still hold because entropy is increasing somewhere.

Note: I'm not a physicist so don't take my word for this. Just conveying what I think I read.

Thanks. That sucks, the Rav4 EV really is a great car. It's too bad it exists in such small numbers.
I have the Precision 5510 which is basically the XPS 15 with the intel wifi card instead of Broadcom. I have had it since April. I initially bought it as it was one of the few laptops that ship with Linux. I have been happy with the battery life and the touchpad.

Can You Replace a Landing Page with a Bot?
No 3rd parties please!
My fiancee is a recently graduated pharmacist. I was surprised by how much of her work is just counting pills and managing insurance.

But, as with many jobs, a robot can't handle the edge cases.

Doctors can be surprisingly ignorant about the medications that they prescribe and she's the last check to make sure they aren't going to poison a patient.

She also provides advice and clarification for patients receiving drugs that could kill them if they're misused.

The vast majority of pharmacist work will likely be automated, but it will be quite difficult.
I applied to the iOS position a few months back, and experienced radio silence on the recruiter's end even after following up after a week+. Just something I feel like could be improved. A response either way is very helpful to me as a active job searcher :)

Lenovo put a rootkit in its laptops' firmware that reinstalled across system wipes, so no.
nice one--for the same reason, i'm doing the research and creating a list of options just now. Myy requirements lists, at least for your first two sets of bullets, are the same.

My leading contender at the moment is an Alienware 13, which is sold in three different configurations from $1,000, $1,100, and $1,500. (note: i have no affiliation with Alienware nor am i a gamer).

it's not ideal for my use cases (which are probably similar to most other dev), eg, i don't need the industrial strength speakers, which is one of the reasons the box depth is a little on thicker than most laptops to say the least. After having a MBP for the past 7-8 years, an Alienware will feel practically cuboid.

one additional criterion i have is high build quality which has led me to look closely at ThinkPad and Alienware. I had an Alienware quite a few years ago before the company was purchased by Dell; The build quality was superb; i have no direct experience with the quality of the newer units (post-acquisition).
This is...objectively wrong? The "Apple Tax" hasn't, up until the current generation and maybe (depending on your metrics) the prior one, been a serious thing for a decade. They've consistently released price-competitive systems that come with what's probably the best multi-purpose desktop OS on the planet.

Don't do the middlebrow thing. It never works.
I do similar for my personal website on Azure, they have a Wordpress plugin that maps the upload folder to use a blob storage instance. It's a bit dated and doesn't support things like custom domains using https (for the blob.) Something I hope they address (it's 2016 guys.) I don't know if this Amazon solution does the same thing or not. However currently I have to use my Blob's CNAME domain to serve assets over https. I use Cloudflare to manage my certs instead of Cloudfront like they do here.

I'm looking for a solution for my agency to put sites onto hosted instances like AWS or Azure, but my hesitance is that they aren't managed solutions and I'm afraid of getting hacked. Does anyone have any insight on how secure these solutions can be? My Azure instance has been running for years without problems, but that's my gamble with my one site and not hundreds of customer sites. I use CloudFlare's page rules to add extra security and caching and have WordFence just in case.

I'd love some insight into how I could scale a solution like this to be hundreds of sites on cloud instances while maintaining security. Perhaps they should all be separate? Would my personal solution be good for my company's clients? Managed solutions like WPEngine are just outrageously expensive for some of the sites we have that only get a handful of traffic (Azure offers Wordpress on Azure websites.)
