You're also forgetting about the butterfly ballots that confused voters because of their design. A large number of voters claimed they voted for the wrong person because of it.

SEEKING WORK - NYC Metro and Remote

I’m a full stack developer, with a strong design sense, that has worked with small startups and large companies to build iOS, OS X, and web applications. I have proven experience taking products from idea to launch, as well as improving existing products.
I have a knack for learning new languages and frameworks, but I’ve worked with these previously:

- Swift and Objective-C for iOS and OS X

- Ruby (with Rails and Sinatra), PHP, and Node.js on the server side

- Javascript, jQuery, Sass, CoffeeScript, Backbone.js, and Browserify on the front end

10x Genomics | Pleasanton & San Francisco, CA | Onsite | 10xgenomics.com

We're a biotech company creating novel software, chemistry, and microfluidic systems to allow better understanding of the genome. While DNA sequencing technology has advanced rapidly, it’s still at a level equivalent to what assembly language was to computing. With huge advances yet to be made, we're creating products that will do for sequencing what C did for computing which enable scientists to gain higher-order clarity and meaning to what is now very low-level information. Software is a key part of that leap. There's no shortage of difficult problems due to the scale and complexity of analyzing, managing, and visualizing sequencing data. Thoughtful and elegant software engineering can yield big payoffs.

Our software and instruments are used at top research institutions and hospitals around the world. 10x Genomics has most recently raised a $55M Series C from Fidelity and SoftBank and has about 130 employees in Pleasanton, San Francisco, and in the field across the world.

You can view a demo of an existing piece of visualization software at http://loupe.10xgenomics.com/loupe/, or read about (and run if you'd like) our massively parallel pipelines at http://software.10xgenomics.com. We manage our pipelines with Go, develop analysis code using the NumPy stack, and drive our front-end applications with React/Redux (previously Angular 1), but we're always open to any technology that allows us to develop faster. No previous biological experience is required; we have plenty of folks here to handle that, but there is a lot to learn about if you're curious. You'll be directly working with a team of six other engineers (one of them being myself).

We're currently hiring for several software roles, but specifically for senior generalists, senior UI engineers, and QA engineers. Our computational biology group is also always looking for bioinformaticians who are experienced with NGS, and our company is always looking for scientists and engineers (hardware included). Here are some of the job postings we have up, but feel free to email me if you think you're a good fit for another role.

- Senior Software Engineer - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/274521/

- Senior UI Engineer - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/274522/

- Software Quality Engineer - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/476114/

- Software Quality Engineer (Computational Biology) - http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/472908/

Just a note that we do have a satellite office in San Francisco even though the listings only specify Pleasanton. Our full page of job listings can be found at http://www.10xgenomics.com/careers/. Reach out if you're interested in working on high impact, big data problems using modern software development best practices or even if you just want to chat.

Sorry from my rant, but I need the catharsis:

We manage two schools on using Mac Server and the network profiles (like roaming profiles) bring everything to it's knees.

In one school - because Apple laptops are rather expensive, each student doesn't have their own laptop. Every time a class fires up and logs in - the 30 laptops saturate the GB network for about 5 minutes. Until the darn things are done churning, the students can't do any work.

And yes, we've done all the smart things - pruned home folders, SSDs, awesome WiFi. It used to take 20 minutes before.

I send construction workers out in the field with MacBooks because they're so rugged and the RDP client it awesome, and we really enjoyed Apples line of plastic MacBooks. At the time, they were a great value for schools. I love apple stuff generally - I'm typing this on a Macbook right now.

But I'm absolutely convinced that Apple will lose the lower education space entirely in the next few years if they don't throw some effort into their server line (the software) and come up with a less expensive laptop.

2nd Rant:

Each new version of Mac Server makes fixing the Open Directory parts harder - in older versions you could search google to find the arcane chant to punch into the terminal to do magic. You could fix the underlying database, prune a user that isn't working well, and fix all sorts of corner cases.

Apple keeps removing these tools year after year.

Apple generally says that fixing the OpenDirectoy should amount to restoring from a backup - that would be fine if you found out about a problem right away, but if you've gone a month down the road it's annoying to potentially lose a months worth of work to fix a small problem. I haven't been bitten yet, but others have.
Anything that adds any interaction with the user will cost support time, thus dollars. Its easier for these companies to hard code a password in and have it "just work" with their mobile app or web interface than actually do security correctly.

Until there are regulations in place to make them do this, they will not care.

In-Q-Tel (IQT) | Arlington, VA | Technology Architect, Software Engineer, Network Architect | www.iqt.org

We’re looking to grow our team in our Arlington, Virginia office across several groups. Currently, we’re looking for folks interested in working in a role like mine (which we advertise as a “Technology Architect” on our website) where we partner closely with the United States Government to help introduce innovative technology solutions in support of mission, perform tech diligence on potential investments (and help craft how to adapt and deliver them), and generally spend our days exploring emerging tech.

Additionally, we have a few openings in our Cyber Reboot lab (http://www.cyberreboot.org/careers/) for software and network engineers. Our Cyber Reboot lab is one of our newest and the problem space is really interesting so if cyber security/networking is your thing it’s a great place to land as you get to work with academia, many very interesting friends from one of our other labs – Lab41.

We are a relatively small crew and I can attest the organization feels like a startup (even inasmuch as we cater lunch on Mondays and Wednesdays and have nifty standing desks). Several of us came from venture-backed startups, some have left to start them and the problems you get to work on are definitely unique. Our lunches tend to morph into lunch-and-learns as we have folks spanning the academic/technical gamut from microbiology, NLP, computer vision, “network security” and things that involve space.

The interview process is a phone screen or two, an in-person with a handful of folks and no coding challenges. We’re looking for teammates who want to work on a unique mission. Mastery of C++, familiarity with Torch or a PhD in EE are great things to have but what we want is a teammate who can learn tech or domains they’ve never worked in, cook up new ways of thinking about the application of existing technology and help support technical innovation in the government. As far as we can tell there’s no test for that, so we just talk to you and make sure you get coffee or water and whatnot.

You can reproduce at 80, but sperm quality goes down with age, so there's a higher rate of birth defects.

The other problem is finding a willing female. I don't know about you, but I would not expect to find a 25-30 year old woman wanting to have kids with me when I'm in my 50s, and really don't think that's realistic even at my current age (early 40s). Maybe you're better at talking your way into much younger women's pants than me.

I can also look for women around 40 like myself (which I've done), but here there's tons of problems: 1) many already have kids, and don't want more; 2) the ones that do are usually never married and suddenly are realizing they don't have much time left to have kids. Many of them are never-married for a good reason... (they're so nutty that no man sticks around for long). And they're frequently desperate, but in a bad way: they won't give anyone a chance because they want to find Mr. Perfect after a single date. They have completely unrealistic expectations; I've seen it many times here.

As an aside, I went on a Tinder date with a 43yo woman a while ago. We talked on the phone before meeting up, and one of the first things she told me was how she wanted kids and had already tried one round of IVF!! Talk about TMI... Of course, if she's on fertility drugs and taking IVF, that means that 1) she's likely infertile already, and 2) considering I'm just starting with her, it's likely she'll keep doing IVF while we're dating and end up with some anonymous donor's kid, and not mine. (And if we did have a kid together, it almost certainly wouldn't be conceived naturally.) Luckily, I guess, she didn't want to meet up again after the first date.

Honestly, I think it's a lost cause. At this age range, it's just too hard to find someone that wants kids and is in a good position to have them, and still is a great partner in every other way. The dating pool is simply too small, and most of the people in the dating pool have way too many issues.

Luckily, I just started dating someone who's really nice, very attractive, and really likes me, but she doesn't want kids. Considering this is the first woman I've had more than 2 very casual dates with since my divorce 2 years ago, the idea of passing up this opportunity just isn't appealing.

I have to agree with smitherfield. In Latin America (where I lived most of my life) it's pretty common to sell computers with either pirated Windows or something like FreeDOS. Only reputable brands (like Dell, HP and so on) care to ship official Windows installs, and even retail stores (like, say, Best Buy in the US) will offer you different kinds of installations: Windows (at a much higher cost), some Linux variant with no support or a trial version of Windows that you can replace with your own pirated version.

Software piracy is rampant in developing nations, which is understandable. Who wants to pay half a month's salary for a copy of Windows?

Ironically someone downvoted you for this comment. I guess that they didn't understand how exactly true your statement is.

In essence the entire biosphere is a giant heat engine, mainly fed off of the flow of energy from the Sun to Earth to outer space, and in some extreme environments fed by the radiation of heat out from the core of the Earth. Shut off those flows of energy, and the second law would shortly catch up to us and we'd all perish.

Tablet Hotels | New York, NY | Onsite | Fulltime | Salary + Equity | Frontend Lead, iOS Engineer

Our stack: Python 2.7/Flask, MySQL/SQLAlchemy, Unix/FreeBSD, React.js, Swift

Tablet (www.tablethotels.com/en/careers) was founded in the year 2000 by Laurent Vernhes and Michael Davis, a pair of new-media veterans in search of a cure for boring travel and an antidote to the internet’s most common affliction: an overdose of options. Our users trust our taste — we do the hard work of selecting only the most extraordinary hotels, and we make booking them as painless as it can be. Sixteen years on, Tablet is still growing fast, and for that we credit three things: a mission with resonance, a lot of hard work, and — perhaps most important — an extremely talented team. Our New York office doubled in size in 2011, and we’re not done expanding yet.
