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 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.

What else do you need to know?
* Collaboration: Lots of strong opinions weakly held.
* Product Driven: We’re building a product that people will use, love and rave about.
* Test Driven: We make it bleed, and then we make it green, but we make sure it's an automated machine making it happen. QC/QA teams should be free from having to null check forms so they can do the interesting things.

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
Feel free to contact us at jobs[@]biologyworks[.]com

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.
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...".
Apparently, this is what happens to Palm operating systems.
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.
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.
I was completely burned out. I had actually had a hospital visit due to stress, and ended up still working another 5 months after that (3 of those after I told the company I was quitting and converted to a consultant, working just as many hours but getting paid hourly instead of salary).
The good part there is that I had a nice cushion to land on and do nothing for about a month. At the end of the month I had a little bit of ambition back, and decided to do some small consulting gigs to make the cushion last a bit longer while doing less than full time work. This lasted far longer than I wanted, but unfortunately, I hadn't gotten enough of a client base to kick back into gear when I needed it. Luckily, a long term client showed up right when i needed it, otherwise I'd probably be back having a real job again. I'm much happier with my current arrangement, in that regard.
The lesson to be learned from me? You can head out w/o a plan, but you should probably form one and execute on it while your surviving on your savings.
Apple shouldn't get all the credit for creating tablet computers. They should get credit for creating the first tablet that most people actually wanted to buy. If you want to ignore the influence of the iPad on the current market and overall design of the tablets we're going to see, you're being painfully myopic.
I'm guessing they didn't buy them because of the business they were in. Selling workstations + Solaris was only part of their business. I think the services part of their work was bringing in more money towards the end. As far as I'm aware, Google doesn't do much in the services realm, which probably factored big into their decision not to buy.
Amazing strides have been made to improve connectivity, but we're not there yet. So long as we're not there, you will continue to see the old paradigm.
