The USPS website was surprisingly snappy and simple. Anyone know how the gov managed to not screw it up like the obamacare site? Perhaps the United State Digital Service helped?
Chrome shouldn't make big changes to requests. Changing the host is unacceptable.
And no, asking someone to run a $1 server to get around it is not sufficient either. Why would you think a PaaS app would need a dedicated DNS server? Defeats the purpose.

We're looking for a designer, implementer with strong enterprise software design skills. We have a beautiful, useful product and we want to keep up that momentum and growth. This is a product-focused role on our research exchange platform.
The candidate should have good skills with the design software of their choice, ability to learn user workflows, and help optimize the look and feel. We also use SASS/HAML/ERB on a modern Rails application (but you don't need Rails experience, we are happy to train up and support).
Scientist has been remote for over 10 years and we're happy to consider candidates +/-4 hours from San Diego.
Scientist | Software Engineer & Data Scientist | San Diego | Full-time | REMOTE | https://scientist.com
What we do: Scientist.com is a growing services marketplace which helps Scientists the world-over find, initiate, and track service requests. We're at many of the largest pharmaceutical and biotech institutions in the world. We enable the outsourced workflows which increase efficiencies and facilitate compliance. And we're growing.
What you would do: The web application is in great shape but we need to answer more business questions. We want to provide data and tools to our finance and business analysts based on events from the application. The first big project would be maintaining an ETL pipeline for loading data in to AWS Redshift and supporting our internal customers with Quicksight or Tableau.
You would be collaborating with experienced application owners who know the datas ins and outs, you would not be learning the system in a vacuum. That won't be the end of it, we'd also like to support more developer friendly tools like Jupyter.
You'd also be supporting the Kubernetes cluster, helping to track system health, improving our CI/CD system, internal metrics and logging, performing cluster upgrades, and doing a variety of security ops. I think this part is more minor but any experience with operating Kubernetes is desired. If you like Rust, this also a great job for you, I'd love to have utilities or even small webapps written in Rust.
