They better make sure the same Trabant is not traded in 47 times...Handed over to a crusher - the crusher ticket is needed. Need to watch crushers for the same thing. Even though I love all Lithuanians!! (Labas) they spent over 50 years under a fully corrupt regime and have many ethnic Russians in residence, and to even survive, they had to exploit every advantage. Flea-markets were an art form of ways to buy/sell whatever you could find to deal in. I am sure the current free government will try to emplace fraud detection - just as sure am I that any possible loophole will be found.....perhaps a few Lithuanians will tell us how it is on these latter day front lines?
August Health | Senior Front End Engineer / Tech Lead | Distributed team (USA-based) | Full-time

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We're looking for an experienced front-end developer to join us, especially someone with several years of experience building and shipping complex applications. Ideally you would own the front-end architecture for major portions of our product and still be comfortable spending time on minor css details. You should also be interested in leadership - being responsible for managing timing and functionality of the front-end.

Our development team is a small group of very capable engineers and we like to balance building thoughtfully with getting things shipped. The position offers the opportunity to deeply understand our problem space and channel compassion for the experiences of older adults and the challenges of caregiving into building a mission-driven, elegant, and intuitive product.

Email: erez@augusthealth.com

ABOUT US:

August Health is an early stage company that builds technology to transform quality of care for vulnerable older adults. Our product is guiding the transition from complex paper-based practices in the long-term care industry to a digital platform that improves care for elders and the caregivers who support them.

Our team has previous experience at Apple, Google, Adobe, and Landmark Health. Together, we’ve co-founded and exited multiple companies, managed large engineering and product teams, shipped features used by hundreds of millions of users, and led clinical teams supporting thousands of patients. We are funded by a group of top tier Silicon Valley investors.
Business should be allowed to choose who they do business with, they already choose to do business with these people. The problem here is they want to unilaterally have the power to termination the business relationship

This is a problem with one sided none negotiable terms of service being considered valid contracts under the law

They should not be.

We need to change data ownership laws, and force companies to do vetting on Account Creation, and put in provisions on how accounts can be terminated once a company accepts a user owned data. i.e Accounts must have a human reviewed appeal process, with full and articulated reporting as to exactly which rules were violated, and exactly what activity was the violation. And have a View Only data Take-Out period

Unfortunately, at least on Linux, only the NVIDIA drivers are guaranteed to render correctly any OpenGL.

During the last year I have not tried again the AMD and Intel drivers, to see how much they might have improved recently.

However, in the previous years, I always could find examples of OpenGL programs that were rendered incorrectly, with various annoying artefacts, when using either the AMD or the Intel drivers.

Well, often times there isn't any unedited source material aside from the journalist's notes. That's why the journalism profession is such an important and revered one, and why it is held to very high standards. Or at least, why it should be. It doesn't seem to be that way any more for a number of reasons.

If Lithuania's is anything like Norway's, it is stricter than anything I remember hearing about in the US (I am from Indiana, where there are zero checks). They should be - I think the regulations here in Norway are the EU regulations.

In Norway, they test more than just emissions. Brakes, emergency brakes, whether or not you have a safety triangle in your car and reflective vest - among other things.

Our car didn't quite pass a couple years ago, and we were able to do some repairs. It was brake work that time. There was a deadline to get this done. This past summer, it didn't pass, but it was an engine problem that was making some blue smoke. We let the state take it and just put the money towards a different 20-year-old car. It is possible to keep the car, but the government requires you to turn in your plates. You won't get far in an unplated car.
its an interesting scheme, only issue is that "human corn" and "ethanol corn" and "feed-lot corn" are very different strains. Human corn is tasty, while the other two taste terrible.

This, I think, is one of the most important things legislators need to look at going forward as they dig into the practices of companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.

The massive paradigm shift that occurred once these companies grabbed prominence in commerce is to go from a system where humans interacted with humans in business-to-business commerce to solve problems to a cold, hard, heartless and decidedly dangerous totalitarian algo-driven relationship.

In "the old days", if a publisher had a problem with an ad from advertiser they would contact them to discuss, let them know what the issue might have been and seek resolution for mutual benefit. I other words, adults doing business with adults.

Not so with these companies. They are brutal and cold and have no problem destroying any business at any time for any reason. I have seen this happen to acquaintances enough times on these platforms to be absolutely astounded that we haven't yet seen the mother of all class-action lawsuits. And it would be a big one.

I know people who have gone from having nice lifestyle businesses to loosing virtually all due to one of these platforms suspending their account with no explanation, no conversation and no recourse whatsoever. One day you are putting food on your table and taking care of your kids and the next Monday at 7:00 AM you are on your way to losing it all.

I've said this many times, I am definitely not for the government having their hands on everything. No way. However, this, to me, has become a situation where government needs to become involved ASAP. It isn't getting any better. We need legislators to exercise judicious control over some of these practices. These company have such command of the marketplace that if they suspend or ban someone they might as well not exist. That kind of power should not be allowed to be wielded as capriciously as these companies seem to have been doing for years.

I do understand that fraud and other issue are a reality of these businesses. Well, they need to figure out how to deal with that while, at the same time, being human and human in their treatment of those who depend on the access they provide for legitimate work.
Your comment implies that working for military/intelligence is automatically immoral. Nothing could be further from the truth. Believing that freedom is "free" is highly delusional. This civilization that we have, and enjoy, almost entirely depends on having more, better, bigger guns than the "bad guys" (in fact, having more, better, bigger guns is the best way to ensure you don't have to use them).

What you do with the guns is a different issue, but there's clearly many nations worldwide that focus on defense but not offense (maybe not US, but probably Switzerland).

> Can you provide more details why you don’t want to live in a world where everyone is more or less equal?

Because every time someone tries this to create a world like this... it ends up a living nightmare. Creating equality usually ends up involving taking away freedom and oppressing people.

Maybe it's inherently not such a hot idea for some social reason we don't yet fully understand?

I don't know but I'm not sure we should keep trying as millions of people end up dead every time someone gives it another whirl.

cLabs | San Francisco, Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Remote | Hiring Security Engineers, Data Engineers, Dev-Rel Engineers, Product Managers, Cryptographers, SRE/Infra and Mobile Engineers | All Levels | FULLTIME, ONSITE, REMOTE, INTERNS, VISA | https://celo.org

cLabs is one of a number of companies working on Celo, an open-source permissionless platform that makes financial tools accessible to anyone with a mobile phone. Using a novel decentralized PKI, Celo lets you send cryptocurrency to phone numbers in a fully decentralized way. Additionally, Celo uses stable-value tokens pegged to fiat currencies, like the US Dollar, to minimize volatility, and crucially allows transaction fees to be paid with these tokens. To make sure that the platform is scalable and fast enough for day-to-day use, Celo uses a new Proof-of-Stake protocol with fast block times and one block finality. Further, it uses SNARK-based proofs to allow light clients to sync with the chain near instantly. The protocol is now live (run by hundreds of entities) and we are now working with organizations such as the Grameen Foundation on an open-source social payments app (Valora) that looks and feels like Venmo, yet is fully decentralized. Celo is listed on Coinbase and many other reputable exchanges.

Backers: Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Polychain, General Catalyst, Coinbase, Reid Hoffman and Jack Dorsey, among others.

Stack: Typescript, Solidity, Go, React Native, Python, Android, iOS, Rust, zk-SNARKs

Call me crazy, but if I was running this service, I would delete all your past data if you reverted from a paid to a free plan.

Otherwise it's hard not to impute a malicious motive to suddenly making private data public.

Then just say If you don't want your content to be deleted, pay us (with a side of "entitled freeloaders can fuck right off")

Kinda what Flickr does now. Which I dislike (finally cancelled my Pro yesterday), but I respect that they can't keep providing the old service for free.

The Republicans are in a weird place lately. There are definitely divergent camps within the party, but I suspect none is confident enough to split off and try to run separately from the others (and sacrifice the "Republican" brand). Perhaps exemplified by how Tea Party and Libertarian folks vote Republican because they don't have enough political clout to get anywhere on their own. I'm sure the same is true on the liberal side (Green Party?) and I'm just not as familiar with that side.

So I guess what I'm saying is I would be surprised because I don't think any single camp within the Republican party is dominant enough to beat the rest of the party. But on the other hand I was surprised when the party picked Trump as their candidate, so I could be surprised again.

You are comparing borders that have mostly had the chance to settle into consenting national identities over the past two thousand years to borders that were forcibly drawn in the late 19th/early 20th centuries (in some places disrupting existing nationalisation processes), as if Europe did not also go through periods of unrest and instability in the wake of dissolving empires.

That is besides the fact that (for example) there are far more extant ethnic groups in my country alone than in all of [Western, if not the entirety of] Europe - the considerations when it comes to building a nation are simply not the same. There's nothing that irks me more in these discussions than "Why haven't you already done what took us centuries to do naturally in the space of a few decades under artificial tension?"
Is your use-case not perfect for the network boot feature?
Nope, it's OVH for us as well as this point.

We have about 8 or 9 dedicated servers at OVH right now. Things we've noticed:

- Yes, UI sucks

- No autobilling

- Reboot times are slow (as the actual machines are reboooted, not a VPS)

- You need to upgrade to higher bandwidths for great speeds

- Some routing problems, very rarely

- You really need to know what your server needs are 6-12 months in advance

- Some product offerings way too expensive (eg. Loadbalancer)

Great things:

- Price. Net-net, still cheaper to buy 2-3 dedicated servers than a single beefy VPS

- A lot of sales, like every month

- You get the full resources of the whole server

- Reasonable support for network or hardware related issues

- Unlimited traffic (at least you don't need to worry about normal usage overages)

- DDoS protection

Other thoughts:

In terms of performance, dedi's work great. I've found their OVH Public Cloud instances (not the cheap one, but the more expensive ones) have not as great performance. Might as well buy a dedicated. The only pro is that you only pay for the time you use.
