Would love to talk further — if you email me at the address in my profile, I’ll get the current wishlist from our accounting dept on Monday. FWIW accounting needs are similar across all talent agency workflows and nobody’s happy, so there’s an undeserved market here for sure.
That is what I thought as well and I similarly discounted the likelihood that Russia did this but I have changed my opinion on this particularly because I don't think Germany is actually going to run into (a lot of) trouble this Winter and probably also not next winter. And if Russia agrees that this is likely to be the case and also that there is not likely going to be gas deliveries through North Stream in the coming years then destroying it could at least serve the purpose of increasing doubt and creating uncertainty especially if it could be pinned on other actors (i.e. the US).
Here is why I think Germany will be relatively ok:
German source on Zeit.de showing gas deliveries from other countries making up a big chunk of Russian deliveries and German gas reserves being almost full and gas demand being ~25% under the average demand in the past years (probably largely due to the price of course). https://www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/energiemonitor-deutschland-ga...
Additionally LNG terminals are due to come live in December (if there won't be delays).
The storage provides 2-3 months' worth of gas. It being full is not enough to ride out a rough winter without rationing. Meanwhile even with a new LNG container port they still have to pay through the nose for all that American LNG.
Germany will probably survive without a rash of people freezing to death but economically it is going to suffer very, very badly.
I am working at finn.auto. We are using Nocodb extensively and are a big contributor to the project. We have a lot of open tech positions and some of our engineers focus on contributing to Noco directly. Check out https://www.finn.auto/careers
Let me know if you are interested and I can tell you more or put you in touch with our team working on this.
Shame that you don't need senior backenders. I just finished a very toxic contract and I'm looking for more stable employment. And I'm very interested in the area that Noco is serving.
But still, if you need a very practical guy with 20 years of career who is now mainly working with Elixir and Rust, give me a ping.
A couple of international volunteers fighting for the Ukrainian army. The video contains no fighting footage but gives a feeling for what it is like on the front line.
What strikes me the most is the amount of confusion and the lack of information on what is happening that these soldiers are living with while continuing with their mission.
I really enjoyed reading about Eddy's thoughts on angel investing. This is one of the few cases where an angel investor actually thinks deeply (and correctly I think) about the value they are bringing to a company they invest in.
This is still the case? My mother told me she used to take a bottle of some alcohol to drink with them and after spending an hour or two with them she would usually get what she needed. That was in Andalucia which I guess might be a special case even in Spain...
We just moved our little family of four from Sri Lanka where we planned to make a home. My wife is Sri Lankan but has not lived there in the last 10 years. It was a rough decision because her family is still there. The situation on the ground is "stable" but food, medicines and of course fuel are becoming scarce. The crazy part is that the government seems to have no real plan but refuses to step down even though the public clearly wants them to.
Just curious, is there another party or group waiting in the wings that does have a plan - and the ability - to fix this?
I've seen op-eds and articles in western media, and a few in EMEA media, that all talk about sweeping changes and reforms but they all seem like the usual hand-waving or 'easier said than done' articles, and not really a plan for how to get there.
My (very limited) understanding is that the current government has been in power less than a year(?), and so must have inherited a lot of these issues.
Anyone seen any other articles on this that have more concrete information?
The current government is pretty much the same faces that has been in power for over a decade.
The current president "Gotabaya Rajapaksha" is the Brother of "Mahinda Rajapaksha" who was the president before him.
When Mahinda Rajapaksha was in power, Gotabaya was the defence minister.
When Gotabaya was recently elected the president, Mahainda was the Prime-minister.
In Sri Lanka it doesn't matter which party you elect as the government, ministers jump from one party to the other always, they fight and throw chairs at each other in the parliament and on stages, but the very same day they will all meet and have a party with each-other. (I wish I was exaggerating)
there was a different government before Gotabaya was president and After Mahinda was president. But, it was basically the same old culprits.
Just curious because Im working on a Quickbook replacement probably with a different focus but I'd still love to hear what you need.
