> Unpaid Internships Available Don't do this. It's exploitative and extremely classist, even if not intentionally. I'm also wondering what the quality of interns you could get given that most tech companies actually pay their interns pretty well.

I believe it's mostly illegal to have an unpaid intern as well, unless you follow the California and Federal Labor Laws.

> 1. The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment;

2. The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern;

3. The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff;

4. The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded;

5. The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship; and

6. The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship

Sunquest - Seattle, WA

We're hiring developers to work on healthcare software as part of our two-pizza-sized Scrum team. We are the Seattle outpost of a large company headquartered in another state. We enjoy the freedom and autonomy of a startup but also have actual benefits and financial stability. We work hard for aggressive deadlines but we also believe in work-family balance for real (half of us have kids) and we have a good gender balance on the team. Ideally you have C#/DevExpress experience, but what's more important is the ability to work collaboratively. We're all in one team room so we work closely together, literally.

To apply on the official company website: http://www.sunquestinfo.com/careers/job-opportunities (Select Jobs by Location, then Seattle)

If you have questions for the team, I'm the scrum master: jina.chan@sunquestinfo.com

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Reboot -- you make no sense. Private contractors are hired all the time by the Government. They did work, delivered something of quality, and got paid for it. It's not thievery at all.

Let's say you own a company. You hire a group of programmers to come in and fix or develop some code. You pay them a lot of money for this work. When they are done they use the code YOU PAID FOR to form a company, attract investors and go into business. That is theft. Is this company using code and tools developed with taxpayer money to now profit? Are investors going to profit from something that we paid for and sho…

It's not theft. In fact, many companies are started this way. As long as they negotiate a contract that retains or licenses code use, they're good.

Businesses do this to each other all the time. Why should Government be special? I don't believe the software would have been written in the first place if your idealistic regulations were in existence, and the people who'd be at a loss would be.... the taxpayers! If the service that way paid for was delivered and the contract made the proper stipulations, this is all fine and dandy.

Also, "we the taxpayers own it" if it's open-source is also not true. If the BSD license was put to use, for example, then any company could go off and make money using the source code.

Seeking full-time Clinical Research Programmer to work at MGH in Boston The Center for Experimental Drugs and Diagnostics in the Center for Human Genomics Research at Massachusetts General Hospital is seeking a Clinical Research Programmer for research using electronic health records for studying clinical outcomes and genetic risk in psychiatric and neuro-developmental disorders.

The position requires a two year commitment How will this be enforced? Computer skills One would hope a programmer does... provide a transcript and two letters of recommendation if they are invited to interview You're serious? This is a real job post? To HN?

> How will this be enforced?

Probably through penalties listed in the contract, or simply suing for breach of contract.

While many US states allow at-will agreements that allow either party to depart at any time for any reason without penalty, as far as I know, you're not required to be employed at-will if both parties agree to the terms of the contract.

While it's a somewhat special case, I know the US federal government often employs people with though-shalt-not-break-without-penalty contracts. Examples are military service, and many of the higher-education loan-forgiveness programmes.
