6 year old article in dutch [1] about Zoraya (the woman in question) already back then planning her premature death:

> She claims the right to a dignified ending: euthanasia. "You can buy a rope, you climb up an apartment and a train also runs. But why is it made so difficult for us? Why do you have to be 75 before you have a completed life? Say that maybe we can get better? That's what you say not even against a cancer patient who has completed treatment."

Rough read. Jesus.

Hm, no major cloud provider offers intel gpus.

I've owned 3 phones starting with nexus iirc. Looking forward to getting a refresh when current one gives out.

My guess is "total comp 0". Blind has a culture that somewhat turned into a meme that any post should be accompanied by you disclosing your total comp at the bottom of the post. To the original poster: if you're in the EU I can see if I have anything in my network to help you get some interviews. Feel free to reach out.

Add me too please. Good initiative.

Brace yourselves for more stories like these. Recently I got served a youtube add for a dapps (distributed apps) development workshop where the instructor went something like "learn how to create financial apps without any prior experience in just X days/weeks/months!!!". If crypto and decentralized finance is going to make good on the promise of democratizing finance then we have a bumpy road ahead of us. I'm still optimistic that in the end this will lead to a greater good, but there will be casualties while we work out the kinks.

What are your thoughts on daily stand-ups and scrums with fully remote teams with different chronotypes. Does that work for you guys?

> * A solution for streaming out updates that is better than dynamodb streams

What bothers you about dynamodb streams specifically?

Hey thanks for the details, riadd! I wrote a HTML5 browser game in coffeescript several years ago and I share your analysis: I would skip CS and use modern JS for a greenfield project today.

Care to elaborate about the marketing side? How did you manage to get this amount of sales? Did you get any support from Steam on that front? Thanks!

The sql query that generated all those fake listens shouldn't have passed QA. /s

From my anecdotal evidence I see that sleep robustness can be strongly shaped by conditioning when we're younger.

Ex: having your children sleep in bedrooms with open doors with a dim light source on will make them into one of those "I sleep through everything" sleepers.

Curious to hear other people's experience.

I've used Django Rest Framework a few times: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/

It comes with alot of nice to haves out of the box (auth, an admin backend, browsable api...) . Built on top of Django of course so there's some overhead there.

I wouldn't use it if high performance is top priority above all else.

Would like to echo this request.

Had to implement a micro-service architecture in python about a year ago and was jealous of my Java colleagues who (so I heard) have great ecosystem for enterprise service discovery, messaging etc.

Really enjoy reading posts like these and like the "Let's write a simple interpreter" series [0]

I should man up and do a series on writing a relational db (know nothing about DB design).

Pleasantly surprised to see Ramit Sethi's name pop up in the article. I've watched some of his 'Find your dream job' videos on youtube and the advice there was solid and yielded results first time I applied them in salary/job negotiation situations.

"The Art Of Charm" podcast has some great episodes about that stuff. Check out some of these: http://theartofcharm.com/best/

On a related note; I really enjoyed this[1] podcast. It's an interview with Olivia Fox Cabane - the author of a book that explores the science behind creative thinking.

disclaimer: I work on a wal-related project for a TLD

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Projects like the WAL actually do help prevent the spread of malicious sites. Some TLD registries go into great length to ensure that the identity of their registrants is valid (address, phone, email).

Valid whois data is a necessity when processing some of these cases (from a legal point of view). I see this in practice every day.

The potential burden for the majority of domain owners (those who don't plan to do anything illegal with their little piece of internet real estate) is undeniably an issue, but projects like WAL have very real merit for the internet as a whole.

Colour me interested. I'm arriving a day earlier anyway.

Aaaand its back up. Looking forward to the post-mortem.

Down for me in Belgium, correct.

The interesting question is in which industries will we see the first Twilios, Stripes and Clevers for hardware? Home automation? Cars? Health?

I was pleasantly surprised with their customer support, but unfortunately they still miss a few features (not being able to run ssh commands on the server is one) that prevent me from using AppFog for anything serious for now. I'm keeping a close eye on them.

CS fan here. As a rule of thumb I often include outermost parens only in my CS code for this reason. All situation dependent and readability comes first of course.

There are some neat tricks you can do with the 2 stereo signals. Linear combinatios of L/R channels is the easiest, but doesn't work well with modern mixes where bass/snare/voice is centered and other instruments are rarely ever hard-panned (you can get really cool results on some older albums like Rubber Soul - there's a lot of hard panning going on there)

There are of cuorse more advanced techniques for isolation of centered tracks and vocals in particular see http://virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=102 and http://dsp.stackexchange.com/questions/1499/how-to-extract-v...

> CDNs - Make sure you add a Cache Control (max-age) header to your CDN sync. You need to set both the Cache Control AND Expires header.

I wonder if this will lead to Heroku reviewing their pricing plans sooner than expected. Elastic Beanstalk is catching up, AppFog had their public launch recently... they must be feeling the heat.

Can somebody enlighten me please. Would this allow me to capture & process mic input client side?

I like it. Care to elaborate on what libraries/framework/tech you used?

> With all that said, it remains incredibly tough to set up business in the US. Even with the US funding behind us, and an American co-founder, options are surprisingly slim as the usual work visa – H1-B – is not suited for companies that are just starting out or for founders who have major stakes in the company. It doesn’t matter how many jobs you do or promise to create, the options are surprisingly limited.

One gloomy forecast, this.

Can anyone who's gone through the motions of starting a company in the US as a EU citizen share their experience?
