DTU Biosustain | Synthetic Biology | Copenhagen Area, Denmark | Onsite | Full-time | 450k-550k DKK | VISA

Full-stack Web Developer for Synthetic Biology Design Platform

We're looking for a software engineer to help build a web-based software platform for data-driven design of microbial cells and communities. DTU Biosustain conducts research on metabolic engineering and synthetic biology of microbial and mammalian cell factories for chemical and therapeutic protein production.

With advances in synthetic biology, genomes can now be edited at unprecedented speed and fidelity allowing making multiple changes in the same genome at the same time. This increases the need for computational tools to design cells and communities of cells analogous to the tools used in Computer Aided Design (CAD) of cars, buildings and other man-made objects.

A prototype of the platform is hosted at https://app.dd-decaf.eu. We furthermore enjoy open source software and most of our code is publicly available at https://github.com/biosustain and https://github.com/dd-decaf. You can find our Scrum board here https://waffle.io/DD-DeCaF/scrum.

Our stack currently, in no specific order: AngularJS, Angular Material, Typescript, Python 3 (including its scientific stack), PostgreSQL, Docker, Travis-CI, D3.

One thing I keep wondering as a daily TensorFlow user: If Google is staking its future on TensorFlow, why is there such slow development on the Java/C++ version, which would be relevant to lots of enterprise users?

Namely, full support of symbolic differentiation and all operations and optimisers ported. Having to define everything in python and then load the graph definition into a poorly supported C++/Java wrapper is incredibly tedious.

Surely, hiring 5 engineers per language team and having them port and maintain versions would not be a big stretch to the budget.

Or is this an intentional strategy where the lack of language support forces users to deploy their models on Google cloud workflows in lieu of being able to easily integrate them into their big data pipelines (mostly JVM based)?
It's almost as if the first creative acts that get artists like this their fame are acts of desperation, undertaken against impossible odds.

Later when fame and money comes, the artist buys more and more tools in a fruitless chase to recapture the previous glory but he can't because the fame and money prevent him from ever again having the one thing that made his first works awesome... desperation.
I think the best way of thinking about it is to split problems up across levels. So if you have a code problem that you've worked out to be a design problem, you now have two problems. The higher level one needs to be fixed before you can fix the lower level one.

So the client complains about software behavior. You now have a client problem. You isolate the issue down to a problem in the data. You fix the data but the problem recurs. You now have two problems, a client problem and a code problem, that's generating the bad data. You go to change the code but find a design problem. You now have three problems. You have to solve the design problem so that you know how to fix the code, so that you can then go tell the client that his problem's fixed and here's a free month's service for your trouble.
I knew someone would say this. lol If you're away from your computer and haven't installed the password manager to your phone (I'm not nearly alone in this), then you may need to fall back to searching your emails. Better?

Anyway, this doesn't solve the other technical problems you may hit at some point using this trick.

I'm just giving people a heads up. It's a useful tool for certain things, but it can be overused.
Title is misleading; it should say something like encrypting ALL emails.

They have of course been able to encrypt individual emails for at least a decade with their CAC/PKI by checking a box in their email client.

After re-reading the article they never make any mention of existing crypto practices... Seems like purposely misleading or sloppy journalism.

However in the origin article they link to there is a useful gem:

> "STARTTLS is an extension for the Post Office Protocol 3 and Internet Message Access protocols, which rely on username and password for system access," the spokesperson wrote. "To remain compliant with DOD PKI policy, DEE does not support the use of username and password to grant access, and does not leverage either protocol."

I'm not versed in those protocols, but if that statement was true at the time it makes sense to me that the military wouldn't take a step back to using passwords when they already implemented physical tokens (CAC+pin) DoD-wide.
DETAILED.COM has a bunch of issues that would easily trip SPAM filters.

-------------------------------------------------

TL;DR: DNS, SPF, DKIM & DMARC are not properly configured for DETAILED.COM. Fix and test the issues below.

-------------------------------------------------

Start here: https://mxtoolbox.com/domain/detailed.com/

1. SPF Records

Issue: You should only have 1 SPF record but you have 2.

Combine them. https://www.spfwizard.net/

Current:

detailed.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=spf1 include:smtp.groovehq.com ~all"

detailed.com. 3600 IN TXT "v=spf1 mx include:send.aweber.com -all"

Should be:

detailed.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 mx include:send.aweber.com include:smtp.groovehq.com ~all"

2. You SOA record is incorrect

Your current authoritative DNS servers are:

detailed.com. 172800 IN NS ns.sourcedns.com.
detailed.com. 172800 IN NS ns1.sourcedns.com.

Your current SOA is:

detailed.com. 3600 IN SOA ns.liquidweb.com. admin.liquidweb.com. 2017042600 86400 7200 3600000 14400

In your SOA, ns.liquidweb.com is incorrect. It should be ns.sourcedns.com

3. Missing DKIM records

Check if AWEBER is sending the correct ones.

Use the steps outlined here https://www.phishingscorecard.com/ to find your DKIM key and test to see if it's working properly.

4. Setup DMARC to get reports on your failed email

If you had set this up, you would be getting notifications from Gmail, Yahoo, etc as to why your email is not being delivered properly.

I suggest doing a 14-day free trial via https://dmarcian.com/
Once you create an account, they will provide you with RUA & RUF addresses and process the XML responses for you. Don't forget to add the _DMARC TXT record to your DNS.

5. Test your email using https://www.mail-tester.com/
This site is fantastic and will help you narrow down on actual delivery issues.
I doubt Geohotz didn't do his homework before he made this conclusion. He went to CMU, Google and Facebook and had worked with the smartest professors/scientists/engineers in the field of AI before he founded Comma.ai. He's pretty much single-handed built a level 3 drive assist prototype within a year where other companies spent billions and many years R&D but not even came close to what he was originally intended to release.[1]

So when George said, "there are only three real competitors: Waymo, Tesla and us." What he really says is that Comma.ai's technology is on par with Waymo and Tesla's. The rest of the companies are either subpar or have no existing product to demo, likely both.

He also famously said "shippability" is the biggest differentiator between Comma One and the rest but decided not to fight the uphill legal battle being that he's taking the Android approach to grab the market share.

So, I kinda buy it.

Yep. I waste an hour (probably) every week unsubscribing from various newsletters and marketing campaigns that I don't care about. Most corporations have largely taken "this person has given me an email address" -- even if one is necessary to use their service! -- as free license to hit them with all sorts of marketing messages. Really, these are spam -- unsolicited, unwanted email. It's just that "spam" has taken a stronger, more negative meaning.
> Why limit the amount of days your allowed to be sick?

The number of days you are allowed to be sick is not limited; the number of days of paid leave to deal with being sick is limited.

> What happens if you are sick for more days than what your contract allows?

Depending on the nature of the illness and other factors, you may be eligible for unpaid (by the employer), job-protected leave under FMLA or similar state laws, and may be eligible for disability payments during that leave under state law. The employer may, even if that law does not apply, extend paid or unpaid leave beyond what it is committed to in your contract, but is under no obligation to do so.

> The entire process is filled with random quagmires

OK, but why is that? And how many of those "random quagmires" are coming from realtors?

The real estate industry reminds me of the tax preparation industry or car sales in the USA. My opinion is they are all (by design) intentionally annoying, cumbersome, overly complex, overly expensive, and excessively time consuming, seemingly for no reason other than to protect vested interests. These areas are ripe for dramatic disruption.

Aira – Instant Access to Information (for the Blind)
>All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace is a series of films about how this culture itself has been colonised by the machines it has has built. The series explores and connects together some of the myriad ways in which the emergence of cybernetics—a mechanistic perspective of the natural world that particularly emerged in the 1970s along with emerging computer technologies—intersects with various historical events and visa-versa. The series variously details the interplay between the mechanistic perspective and the catastrophic consequences it has in the real world.

This style of writing has always bothered me. I don't know how to describe it. College-writing? Like, "The series variously details the interplay between the mechanistic perspective..." What does this sentence actually mean? Surely there's a more efficient way to write it. At the very least by throwing out useless fluff like "variously."

Back in 2007, I made neverplayalone.com to find activity partners. Within a few days of launch, someone pointed out three things - Meetup was gaining traction, URL sounded risqué, and never to use negative words like never in the URL.

In 2010-11, I worked on lug-it.com to let people carry stuff in their luggage for others. It leveraged FB's social graph to engender trust. I just wasn't ready to market and grow the user base because my cofounder decided that he was going to be the "vision" guy and I was going to do all the work.

I launched a couple of iOS apps one of which got thousands of downloads in a month but since it was very niche (BLE/iBeacon related), I stopped working on it.
Find something that lets you relax and de-stress.

For me, it's video games. A good video game relaxes me like nothing else. Of course, that depends on there being a good video game that I haven't already played out.

Books can also do it for me, to a lesser extent. I also have other hobbies, mostly involving creating things like papercraft or models, that will help de-stress me.

The worst is when I spend too much time playing games and start to feel guilty about not doing other things. It's a downward spiral because the thing that relaxes me is now causing me additional stress.

The real solution is, of course, to find the real stress and reduce it directly. That's not always possible, but there's usually something that can be done.

I was locked out of my AWS account for about 2 years due to loosing my 2FA authenticator on my phone. But had no open bills and didn't really care about it, so I did not try to gain back access.

Until last week, when I decided that I need to use the account again. I simply clicked the recovery link on their 2FA login form. Had to enter my account details and my phone number. Within 15 minutes (as stated on the website) a member of their service team called me. I explained the situation (lost 2FA app). Not a problem, the service agent told me. He then sent me an e-mail (to my AWS-associated mail address) with some random characters, which I had to read back to him. After that he simply removed 2FA, and I was able to log in with my username/password. For me the experience was quite pleasant, but had someone else have access to my e-mail account and knew my AWS username/password, he might have been able to take over my account, bypassing 2FA. I don't quite know how to feel about that.

EDIT: Ok, this probably only works if your phone number is also already associated with your account. So an attacker additionally would need access to my phone number, making things quite a bit more secure in my view.

> I am not even on Facebook and since about a week ago receive emails along the line "Jan see what [real friend of mine]" has posted. I flagged is as Spam in this is where the emails now land. But WTF is going on ? This is a severe intrusion of my privacy.

It's just a trap. One of your real friends uploaded all their contacts to Facebook, and when Facebook found you weren't on it, I guess it decided to send you an email in the hope that you'd be enticed to join in and see what your real friends are up to...on Facebook, of course! I wonder if Facebook does this even for any company/organization addresses that get uploaded or if it has some sort of intelligence not to do that (imagine a "payroll@company.com" or "legal@company.com" or "abuse@company.com" getting an email to check out what friends are up to).

As for the severe intrusion of your privacy, Facebook's privacy policy says what applies to its users. You're just a shadow profile who can be monetized in the future or in other ways. You're like an outlaw/alien who doesn't have rights as far as Facebook is concerned.

But the interview was short and the interviewer had clearly just graduated from college where Data Structures was probably his last class.

The money from the seller isn't free. For example there is a chance that I could get them to sell the house to me for less than what I am buying it for. If for example the seller met me half way on those fees that's a decent amount off of cash.

When I was buying my home the loan person I worked with is family so she helped me more than my realtor. Looked into neighborhoods for me etc. It could be that they were looking out for me more than normal.

I am in a market where houses sell instantly, more or less you look at a house and make an offer within out 24 hours or else it's gone. Which is crazy but the realtor didn't even get much of a chance to look into things here for us.

because the law has defined "intent to distribute" purely by the amount of drugs you have. They don't have to actually prove intention to distribution.

Really it should just be called "possession of a lot of drugs."

The reason the laws were changed was that it was tough to convict someone if you had to actually show they intended to sell.
