This, 100% this; and it's a concept that's really hard to get across to people, even doctors.

I got to the point where I decided to start doing stuff again because it was the only way to get back. I'm in way better shape that previously since covid, but that "fully satiating breath" is still not coming.

Advicerco. | Staff Software Engineer | REMOTE (US) | Full Time/Contract | $100k-$200k

Advicerco is enabling people to maximize the efficiency of every dollar by building a cash-flow based management platform for their finances. It takes into account their goals and assets and uses them, the the help of an advisor, to assemble an automated flow based system to manage their funds. By changing the way that people view and use their money, we are both changing the perception of money, altering people’s relationship with it, and reducing the everyday stress of dealing with income and budgets.

We are currently looking for full stack engineers with a penchant for product, who are willing to both help find the best solution for how we interact with our finances, as well as building out a system for handling those finances in the background. We believe strongly in testing, as money is not a thing to be trifled with.

We're looking for:

* You an experienced developer, with at least 5 years of experience, knowledge of javascript/typescript or a fierce desire to learn. * Experience building event based, and highly asynchronous solutions * A lack of fear in solving hard problems, and writing tests to prove it.

Our stack is typescript with react, built in AWS. While you don't have to know everything, you should be familiar with lambda and how it works in different contexts. We also use postgres as our database.

Biologyworks | Senior Software Engineer | REMOTE (US) | Full-time

Biologyworks is a molecular testing company that created our own device and platform to facilitate small scale, portable medical testing infrastructure. We have software running from the firmware level, all the up to web pages that display data to lab users and patients. Our goal is to bring down the cost of high quality functional testing without the need to lug around a high priced PCR machine.

We're a small team. We wear a lot of hats. We get a lot done. In a single day it is possible to touch software from firmware levels up to websites displaying data. Our software team is remote, and currently in 3 different time zones. We use a variety of tools to help with the remote working from github to tuple, to confluence/jira.

Our tech stack is based largely in AWS, and the following skills would be handy:

- General AWS knowledge/certification

- Python and/or Javascript

- AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, Dynamo, SQS, etc)

- React/React-native

We're hiring for the following positions:

- Senior Software Engineer (AWS)

- Mid-level Software Engineer (AWS)

- Agile product owner/scrum master

95% of the time, I wondered what problem Google Wave was trying to solve. But that 5% of the problem where it was the sweet spot was amazing.

Suddenly my Latin and Computer Science majors make more sense together.

I can speak to the performance issues. I use this on a very javascript laden website, and I've noticed absolutely zero performance hits as a result of running.

People far smarter than me have been saying for a long time that if you make the price of the content more reasonable and make it far easier to get, most people wouldn't bother to pirate.

I have no idea about the numbers, but it's good to see someone who makes money on providing the easier content providing some data on the fact that one of the best ways to remove piracy isn't to randomly sue people to scare them, but to provide them a good product, at a reasonable price and not to go out of your way to make it difficult for people to purchase/license/rent your product.

These are all fine uses of the word.

However, when you use the word "veto" in the context of the President, it implies a certain set of actions that have taken place. It actually encourages people to think those events took place, when reading the letter makes it obvious that they didn't.

This is all moot now, since they changed the headline from "Obama vetoes..." to "Obama Administration vetoes...".

Point of order. This isn't a veto. A veto is for legislation, this is fully contained within the executive branch.

I think I read that differently. I read it that they gathered the data, put together the spreadsheet and hosted on a .gov address. Is there an article that is more clear about that?

It may just be the "this is the way we've done it in America" in me talking. But I'd probably be OK if we at least had some sort of instant runoff voting, or something similar which didn't make the voter strategize between choosing a candidate that they most agree with and choosing between the lesser of two evils.

Given the length of this piece on just a small part of the book, I think you'd end up with encyclopedic tomes about Steve Jobs + Apple. This may not be a bad thing, but it would be a huge thing.

That is the attitude of all the people who later look at a either a working process, or a working product and say, "damn, why didn't I think of that?"

I find it interesting that you're basically calling for them to do almost exactly what they did with PalmOS back in the day. Technically that company still exists, so PalmOS still exists, but I can't remember the last time I saw a PalmOS device.

Apparently, this is what happens to Palm operating systems.

The system is flawed.

However, the system also does some very good work by forcing more work into smaller companies. I have had the pleasure of working for two companies doing business with the government. One doing research through the SBIR program, and another just winning contracts as a small business.

On the good side, both of these companies did very good work and didn't do the "IP shuffle" as you described above. In fact, I'd say the biggest impediment to us getting stuff done was either the government moving slow, or some other company we were forced to work with slowing us down. In fact, the kiss of productivity death for any project was getting involved in a project with one of the bigger consulting companies (BAH, Accenture, etc).

On the other side, the title of "woman owned" and "minority owned" are completely taken advantage of at all times. Both companies I worked for were "woman owned", which in practice meant that the wives of the bosses owned the company (or at least some of it), but really didn't take part in anything other than showing up for Christmas parties. I am not aware, however, of any real advantage the "woman owned" and "minority owned" titles got us, though.

I also live in Minneapolis, and I see a very different thing in the social media realm than the original author. It seems to me that when someone gets a smartphone, the first thing they do is install the facebook app and then start using facebook every moment they get a chance (even on blackberries from work).

The only time I see people really using location based services is when they're looking for directions (Garmin already made the inroads there). Personally, I use a lot of location based services, but I've also been working in the field for awhile.
