> Most [EU] companies hate exactly this kind of lines and they will ignore your CV

Disagree. Finally it depends on the content your actual achievements but the wording is totally fine + learned. Most EU companies shouldn't have any problems with this style.


Try and do that with a truly German company. I do agree that things changed, but they definitively prefer a modest "lebenslauf" (just a list of your studies and previous positions, basically) to a self-centered American-style CV. I'm not saying it's better, it's just a different approach.


Disagree again, especially in Germany US-style CVs with focus on achievements and accomplishments are learned, appreciated and have a much higher conversion than descpriptive CVs.


> >$4k per month with sustainable use, for that price you get the same power in bare metal?

not so sure about that + a hoster who provides such a machine as bare metal wants a setup fee, needs time to setup and a minimum contract duration much longer than one month

guess there are not many hosters which have such a beast as bare metal in stock and available in few minutes (are they any hosters at all?); they will order sch machine themselves and you will wait at least a week


You could order 16 of these https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/px121-ssd

Minimum contract length: 1 month, total cost (including setup): $4,384 (on-going month to month cost thereafter: ~$2,191.20).

For that you'd get an aggregate total of 4TB RAM, 7.6TB HDD (SSD), 96 real Intel E5-1650 v3 cores (or 192 vCPUs) and 800TB of bandwidth.

Sprinkle with terraform/ansible/k8s/docker and you have a resilient, massively powerful compute cloud with no long term obligation that's about half the price of GCE if you keep it around beyond 30 days. Or another way to look at it: if you needed such a platform for two years, your second year would be free compared to GCE.

One major issue with this approach (versus GCE's "all in one" box) could be network performance bottlenecks depending on what task(s) you were using such a cluster for.


Bare metal 48 ht cores for $1000/mo: https://www.packet.net/bare-metal/servers/type-2-virtualizat...

So we've established that aws is far more expensive now since the tco is taken into account in both cases.


There's IBM/Softlayer for that. Their hourly bare metal offering goes up to just 256 GB of RAM, though. More than that and you'll have to do a monthly commitment.


How does it compare to Holocracy?


As far as I can tell Holocracy is basically a form of organisational design that doesn't depend on the blockchain for organisation.


To learn Vim you have to use it everyday. Question is if most have the opportunity to use it full-time for development from day one. I started with Vim using it just as a todo list manager on a remote server. Wrote here and there some macros to add or mark todos and that was my gateway drug. Used it everyday and at some point it felt more natural than any other editor. So I fully switched.

Besides, I use Neovim for 1-2 years now.


I 100% agree. I originally learnt Vim because I didn't have any choice. It was the only supported editor at my workplace, so I was thrown in the deep end, using it every day.

That kind of situation can foster resentment, but I embraced the challenge. I got use to Vim, and overall adopted a more "UNIX" approach to my workflow and development. I'm not all the way there, but I'm trying to embrace it more, little by little.


> Sorry, but I think that's really bad advice [...] If all you learn is to do things that are "pointless" (like learning hjkl),

I agree. For navigation I rather use f, w, e, {,}, ctrl-l, ctrl-u, /, o. I think hjkl are overrated.


I could basically store all my sensitive data there? Passwords, SSNs, private keys of ETH wallets, etc.?


Yes


What’s the solution?

1. Spread all activity on multiple mail accounts?

2. Get a G-Suite account + own domain, so in a case of a lock out you just change the MX records?

Option 2 is expensive for a lifelong private account and 1 is cumbersome.

Any other ideas?


Guess it’s for many a minor thing but why can’t the phone just be symmetric (top and bottom bezel have the same height)?


The top of the phone’s bezel contains a camera, and the bottom doesn’t. Why do you want a larger chin with wasted space? The pixel 1’s chin always bothered me for that reason.


I kind of like the chin on the Pixel 1 because I know I have another option to grab the phone without touching the touchscreen.


Either you make a phone clearly asymmetric (eg new iPhone X) or clearly symmetric. The new Pixel tries to have a symmetric design but fails slighlty (top and bottom bezel have similar heights and form language but are still asymmetric).


They sure look symmetric in the pictures, though?


The Xiaomi mi mix did exactly that.


Similar question: Which tutorial enables me to write and deploy my first smart contract in Solidity within 120 minutes?


http://truffleframework.com/tutorials/

Not sure the Ethereum network can even deploy in 120 minutes these days, but you'll certainly have it built in that time :)


1. Are also animated gifs possible?

2. Would be great if you could add a traffic counter to the page, so we see how much traffic you guys get.
