Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard | Cambridge/Boston, MA | Associate Software Engineer | ONSITE, VISA

We are a small team of software engineers, computational biologists, mathematicians, clinicians, and geneticists building cutting-edge tools and methods for interpreting massive genomic datasets.

We are looking for friendly people with demonstrated experience in web tech, an eye for design, and genuine excitement to learn new things.

Your primary technical responsibilities would include developing well-engineered web components with a focus on data vizualization, using these components to bootstrap new projects, processing data with our distributed/Spark framework, and deploying applications on Google Cloud Platform. We're not joking about the amount of data! The Broad sequences a new genome every 10 minutes. This is the most genomic data that has ever existed anywhere in the world. Our technology stack: React, Redux, D3, SVG, GraphQL, node, Elasticsearch, Docker, Kubernetes, Google Cloud/Container Engine, Python, Scala, Apache Spark.

In just a few years, our tools have had a significant impact on the medical community. Our in-house sequence analysis efforts have helped over a thousand families receive rare disease diagnoses. Our public resources used by clinicians and researchers around the world have helped well over 10,000 rare disease patients. Alongside diagnosing rare diseases, we are starting to build tools to understand complex diseases such as schizophrenia and other psychiatric illnesses.

Here are a few videos that describe our work in more detail:

Scaling genetic data analysis with Apache Spark, Spark Summit East, Cotton Seed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WoPZ3_nIXc)

Regarding our software team's culture, we have a pretty flexible schedule, including opportunities to work remotely. We communicate frequently through Slack/Google Hangouts. We place a strong emphasis on mentorship and we do whatever we can to help you achieve your career goals. If this includes getting into a top graduate school, we are fully supportive; we've had two people in the group transition into graduate programs at Harvard, and another to the University of Washington. We are 100% committed to open source software and publicly recognizing project contributors.

Come help shape the future of human genetic data visualization and discovery!

Ideology is not nearly as important as material circumstances in describing how history happens.

> Stalin merely implemented the Bolshevik vision on a much grander and bloodier scale.

I have a serious hunch that you haven't actually done any scholarly inquiry into the ideological landscape of the revolution and how that fits with its material reality.

> Unless your argument is that the Bolsheviks were wrong (which would include people before Stalin).

Well yes, of course they were wrong. The government Lenin established had to make essentially impossible compromises in order to survive. Lenin himself wrote about how they were making ideological compromises due to the exigencies of their circumstances. He thought that those compromises could be undone once the state had been stabilized. He died before that happened, and it never happened. The Soviet Union was always in a state of constant peril due to internal and external forces. It does not help that they were always militarized since its inception. No good civil institutions can come out of a state of perpetual war.

My personal hot take which is not a position I would take if I had to give my opinion grounded in scholarship about the time period is that the revolution could have succeeded if the SPD hadn't order the Freikorps to crush the revolution in Germany; granted that they did so, it would have perhaps been better for the socialist cause for the USSR to collapse than cling to power.

On the other hand, Stalin's USSR did the lion's share of the work in defeating Nazi Germany. What would have happened if he were deposed and the Soviet Union failed to industrialize?
I can also recommend it. It beats most of the existing translation services and we're happy with it at STOMT
WTF? Maybe I didn't communicate it well, but the whole point is the discussion, not the answer...

More important than any psuedo-code is how well they communicate what they are thinking

It's not a test of technical skills. And you'd be amazed at the number of resumes that signal somebody can have a quality discussion about technical problems, but the candidate can't communicate for shit.
I think you've got a really underrated point about the farm population.

We've generated enormous wealth and an amazing quality of life by specializing our skills and the global economy to a massive degree. But we've also got a system that leaves skilled workers vulnerable if they are "no longer required."

Reading books before say 1950 and it's incredible to see the diversity of skills that individuals had. Now we're in a hyper-optimized economy where we get a handyman to do basic home maintenance tasks, or we get our oil changed by the dealership, rather than doing it by ourselves. And from an economic perspective, it makes sense - especially if you are able to earn a lot of $$ per hour. But it also makes us a lot more fragile.

We've ruined our waistlines with our diets, we're wrecking our mental health and concentration skills with our social media / internet usage, and the average person has disastrous finances.

I don't know how we fix this, but I often think about how I can protect myself and my standard of living if things get worse. I think we all should do this, and we should proactively do things to ensure that we've got some level of individual buffer for when things go bad.

The Bolsheviks wouldn't even say they were communist if you asked. Lenin's main contribution to Marxist theory as that of a 'vanguard party', the idea of having an intermediary step between capitalism and communism (a 'dictatorship of the proletariat') to manage the lengthy and difficult transition. A very Russian 'strongman leading' idea IMO, and there are certainly other schools of thought on how that transition should work.

And if they took place in the 60s, those revolutions would have used telephones and radios and leaflets. It's not clear that they would not have been possible without modern communications. Centuries of history have made it clear that you don't need Twitter to start a bread riot.

The outcome of the Arab Spring has also not exactly resulted in democracy across the board, either. Remind me -
how have things in Syria been, lately?

> In China, policies like the great firewall exist because the internet does challenge the central government.

As it turns out, you can just use more IT to repress the 'democratizing' effects of IT.

Speaking of closer to home - if the United States were to turn into a authoritarian state tomorrow, the 'democratizing efforts of IT' would not protect you. If jack-booted thugs were knocking on their literal office door, Facebook, Google, Apple, Snapchat, etc will turn you over faster then you can blink.

GPG won't help you, either. In fact, it'll make it all that much easier for them to find you. A dictatorship doesn't need to decrypt your messages, if using encryption to communicate is enough to send you to the GULAG. (Or if they can employ the $5 rubber hose.)

Incidentally, what I described is all possible in China. So much for computers liberating us.

> never heard one good argument to backup the claims that Bitcoin can became a mainstream p2p fiat replacement

There are many reasons Bitcoin will not be the currency for daily transactions. Some of them are even technical. But, that is ok because it will be used as a store of value filling a need similar to gold. So I guess I'm agreeing with you. But it's taking people awhile to come to understand this subtle difference.
As commenters elsewhere have pointed out, this really only caps salary at around £60k - this is actually pretty low for an experienced ML engineer.

I've heard Prof Pantic advocate for salary caps for PhD students leaving academia before and just can't understand it. It could mean that _all_ jobs must be capped - this seems like an overreaction to market dynamics in one corner of computer science. If not, is she advocating for salary caps for PhD students exclusively? This would be almost trivially easy to game and also downright exploitative.

In addition, we're told almost constantly how few academic jobs there are, and how we'll all have to leave academia. As soon as this starts to actually work well, suddenly it becomes a problem.

SEEKING WORK - Based in Cologne, Germany, remote or Europe preferred

I do custom electronics, robotics, and embedded software development - I specialize in quickly turning ideas into prototypes. I've built custom automation equipment for chemistry labs, sensors that are in use in household/utility applications, control circuitry for construction equipment, 3d printing electronics, data acquisition equipment. No project too small. Few projects too large. Deep discounts for open source hardware work.

I would also be happy to come over (anywhere in Europe) and teach any of the above skills to a small group of interested people. I've taught courses in electronic assembly (SMD), 3d printing (building/using printers, iterative 3d model design using programming) and robot design and construction. I've taught courses at several universities, hackspaces, and con

I'm a huge fan of Illumos and SmartOS and think that Zones + LX Branding are a far superior technology than the hodgepodge of cgroups + namespaces + userland container technology. HOWEVER---the amount of driver support in the OpenSolaris forks, the awful package management system, the ancient IPF system etcetera make it a non-starter for most environments. I have used SmartOS in production (along with the Triton ecosystem) and found it to be well thought out and compelling, albeit woefully immature and buggy.

I think that these reasons, plus the EOL nature of Solaris "upstream", would easily put off most people in charge of making a long term technology commitment. I know it did for me.

> There really are many more units, with the option of increasing the divisibility past eight decimal places in the future.

You are still missing the point. It is not divisibility that makes bitcoin unsuitable as a spending currency, it is the fact that its price keeps rising. Imagine if you are presented with two coins one that historically inflates and another that deflates and are asked to spend one and hold the other. Which do you pick? An inflating coin will always replace a deflating one as a medium of exchange. This is called Gresham's law.

A coin with a fixed supply will never be suitable for daily transaction because the demand for currency isn't fixed (due to economic and population growth).

SEEKING WORK - Harvest, AL USA, REMOTE preferred.

PhD in quantum optics, 10+ years with Python.

Over the past two years I have had the pleasure of working as a remote contractor to help stand up two different Python/Django products. In both cases, I became the primary developer in terms of the volume of contributed code. Both products became multi-million dollar commercial successes as we built them.

I have up to 20 spare hours to give to an interesting project. Recently, I put some effort into learning to create fast code in Rust (https://github.com/dhbradshaw/ProjectEulerFastRust). Preference goes to any project that lets me continue to progress in that area.

My rate is $100 per hour. Contact me using my gmail account. My gmail username is dhbradshaw.
How we sent ETH to the wrong address and successfully recovered them
The pi-calculus is a mathematical formalization of concurrent programs in the same way that lambda calculus is a formalization of computable functions. It is basically a notation that allows you to easily specify concurrent programs, and then rigorously reason about them.
Blocking incoming connections on a mobile device is less important than blocking outgoing connections given the threat model of a multitude of mobile devices running basically black-box applications which have access to a range of sensors. The main threat here is applications gathering data - of any sort, from positional to audiovisual to network traffic to (financial) transactional - and sending it off to their masters. The threat is, so to say, inside the walls already, not outside. The task it to make sure it does not communicate to the outside world.

iOS does not allow fine-grained control over outgoing network access. The assumption is that the user trusts the application to not do anything untoward, after all it was vetted by Apple before it appeared in the store. There are ways to get this type of control on iOS but since the first step you need to take is to 'jailbreak' the device this is not a real solution.

Android does allow this type of control through a multitude of firewall (i.e. Linux iptables) configuration applications. Android devices running version 3.x or earlier need to be 'rooted' to gain access to the firewall configuration, later versions (from 4.0) don't require rooting. The 'no-root' firewall works by routing all traffic through an on-device VPN (which can be instantiated without root access as of Android 4.0). This does mean the firewall application gets access to all network traffic, making that type of application a good target for those who wish to subvert Android network security.
Seriously. I've been taking it sporadically for about that long as well. Doing the same as you now.
In the back of my head I wonder though - Once you hire them, will their goal be to optimize the same metrics you also care about?
