austinc··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2018)
Expeto | expeto.io | San Francisco | Onsite | Senior Software Engineers

We run private 4G/LTE networks using container technology. The idea is 4G delivered as simply as WiFi for remote locations with industrial equipment. Expeto sim cards can roam off of private radios onto major carriers internationally with data paths managed by our customers i.e. access to corporate VPNs or gateway'd to the public internet.

Broad array of technologies: JVM languages (java, clojure, groovy), Postgres, docker + kubernetes, telecom networking protocols, message queues.

In brief, the technical challenge of Expeto is to provide an API to manage 4G networks for non-experts.

I hope these take off, because I also would love to not be staring into a lamp for hours per day.

austinc··on DNA is now DIY: OpenPCR ships worldwide
PCR requires short (typically synthesized) DNA primers to initiate replication. That is, you must know the DNA sequences at the beginning and end of the region you want to amplify. Ideally you would know the entire sequence so you can synthesize primers that have one and only one binding site.

Amplifying DNA is useful/necessary for all sorts of biological procedures. High concentrations of DNA are needed for efficiently transfecting microbes, for example.
