3 ways Glassdoor Recruiter can help with your endless job search
Our team spends a lot of time building tools to address the needs of job seekers, and lately, job search fatigue keeps cropping up as a common thread. A Glassdoor Community poll earlier this year found that 93% of workers have stayed in a job they didn't love just for the stability, but looking for a new one isn't easy either. A separate poll* found that 81% of job seekers say they’ve delayed even looking for one because the job search is so overwhelming. "Where do you look for jobs?

Synthetic transcription factors designed by domain recombination enhance CAR T cell antitumor function

Keywords genome engineering synthetic biology transcriptional regulation CAR T cells Introduction Human protein-coding genes arose primarily through the repurposing of domains from ancestral genes via addition, deletion, or shuffling, rather than through de novo sequence creation.1,2,3,4,5,6,7 This principle inspired early protein engineering efforts, where domain shuffling was used to recombine genes, first randomly and later at pre-defined crossover points for various applications,...

The InfiMaker K1 Makes 5-Axis CNC Machining Look Almost Too Easy, and It’s Launching Soon on Kickstarter
On August 11th, 2026, I was invited to a Kickstarter Launch Event in San Francisco for the InfiMaker K1 5-axis CNC, a sleek desktop machine with powerful capabilities for experienced makers and hobbyists alike. I have personally stayed away from things like 3D printers– I’m not creating things to sell on Etsy any time soon. The learning curve seems slightly daunting. I’ve played with laser engravers and copycat CNC routers with varying degrees of frustration. But a 5-axis CNC?

Visible light reprograms MSCs and T cells into tumor-suppressive states via OPN4-mediated epigenetic remodeling
Abstract Cellular metabolism critically influences tumor resistance. Biophysical stimulations such as mechanical vibration and electrical pulses can reprogram mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and T cells into tumor-suppressive states. Here, we investigated whether optical pulses (OP) could similarly promote an anti-tumor microenvironment.
Nasdaq 100 Futures Rebound Strongly After Yesterday's Decline. Wall Street Investment Banks Believe the U.S. Stock Rally Still Has Legs.

Property Management Contract Assignments Opportunity
Hello all, can I have your advice. I have an opportunity of purchasing the contracts from a property management company. I have never done this before. Two questions: (1) Do you make official offer only after signing NDA and reviewing the contracts? (2) What multiplier range on the management fee revenue is reasonable? I feel the contract retention is unpredictable regardless how loyal the current clients are to the seller. Hence the risk to me is very high. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
Looking for a co-founder? Don’t draw from this pool
When people choose their cofounder, it’s rarely scientific. They’re guided by trust, and trust is easiest to find in familiar places: former coworkers, college classmates, close friends, people who already sit in your orbit. While starting a company is chaotic enough without bringing strangers into the mix, I wanted to understand whether this instinct toward familiarity actually comes with a cost. Turns out it does.

The Enterprise Context Layer
It’s trivially simple to build the Enterprise Context Layer: the central intelligence that encompasses all knowledge for your company, is able to answer any questions, and self-updates. The founders and VCs will tell you it’s the next trillion dollar company. The SaaS players will try everything to convince you that they and they alone will be the solution to solve it all. They’ll throw around words like knowledge graphs, ontologies, semantic layer, taxonomies, etc.

Time to find a new PM
Based on what you've shared, I'm going to disagree with everyone else on here. They all recommend you review the terms of your contract but why should you be obligated to fulfill the terms of your contract when the property manager is clearly not holding up his end of the bargain? I would start by searching for a new property manager. If you send me a PM I will give you a short list of how to research and find someone professional.

I estimate total construction costs will be around $1.3M–$1.4M.
