Also these two:
Director of IT - Santa Clara, CA http://barefootnetworks.applytojob.com/apply/IEwpj0eIQP/Dire...
Financial Analyst / Cost Accountant - Santa Clara, CA http://barefootnetworks.applytojob.com/apply/bbrh2iS57R/Fina...
I've been with the company almost a year now and really enjoying it but my experience will be different to yours as I work with the team out of the UK developing some of the program visualisation tools. The Santa Clara office, where most of the jobs are based, is rather stunning, but my experience of US start-up offices is limited to just that one.

One of the pieces of advice I did not heed from my Dad was to try and save/invest 30% of your salary. This one is hard to understand until you are in your 40s and realise you are probably going to continue to work well into your 50s.
I love my job, but I'm now involved a lot more in the political arena, knowing I can make a difference there, but being held back. 'Having' to hold down a job is getting in the way.
I'm at peace with the choices I made but I also recognise I could not be working now if I'd been a bit more prudent.

Generally no, but it didn't start out that way. I just highlighted the oddity that a political party that relies on old people was implementing policies that were accelerating the death rates of their core voter group, and that this seemed to be an odd thing to do.
I was then accused of making a shameful statement. Data is data. Policy decisions have impact.
For example, when the government introduced mandatory seat belts, there was a rise in the number of pedestrians killed. People wearing seatbelts felt safer driving faster.

I watch what the USA is doing with healthcare, and I see this type of model being foisted upon the UK, and it's terrifying.
I recently got into a twitter spat suggesting that it was foolish of the Conservatives to be reducing spending in social services and the NHS as this was directly attacking their voter base as 70% of pensioners vote Conservative and a poorer NHS directly impacts pensioners more. There have been some articles indicating an extra 120,000 people have died in the UK due to austerity measures. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/tory-austerity-deat...
So the question is, is this a deliberate unwritten approach to try and kill off 'costlier' members of society? Is it better to encourage people to be fat and die off quicker, than to exercise, eat healthier, live longer, and create a long term social care cost?
I suspect epidemiological analysis the impact of this sort of policy has on a society demonstrates it kills the weak and infirm as well as the financially 'weak' members of society.
Think Norway got it right. Find a resource, tax it and place the tax in a pension fund. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_Pension_Fund_of_Nor... Every resident of Norway is now a millionaire in terms of the social care available to each individual.

I see a need for a government to facilitate access to clean good quality drugs, taxing them, and providing the support mechanisms to enable people to come off those drugs.
Portugal is the proving ground for this approach http://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/portugal-drug-l...

Ah the "they are weak" argument. Humans are fallible. Don't judge individuals by your god like ability to only survive on mineral water and lettuce.

Prohibition is one of the most pernicious ideas within our society. It enables people to prey on the weak and vulnerable. Whether we like it or not, people will seek out chemicals to make their day better, be it chocolate, coffee, wine, or heroine.
Governments should be recognising this base behaviour and ensure that those chemicals are available safely and taxed appropriately. Treating drug addiction as a medical condition and not a criminal activity is the first step. Something many countries fail to even recognise.
The war on drugs is a complete failure.

Honestly this is now the way I see Ikea staff. Benign and friendly, encouraging you to spend your money during the day, malign and evil after the store closes, hell bent on murdering you. It's probably what makes those Swedish meatballs taste so good. :D

Unsure I'd agree. It looks like Amplify is providing you with all the components you need to build on top of all AWS cloud services.
I particularly like their approach which makes it easy to use AWS but the ability to move away from AWS should you want to.
"AWS Amplify is a JavaScript library for frontend and mobile developers building cloud-enabled applications. The library is a declarative interface across different categories of operations in order to make common tasks easier to add into your application. The default implementation works with Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources but is designed to be open and pluggable for usage with other cloud services that wish to provide an implementation or custom backends."

I have a habit of playing a F2P game to understand how easy it is to advance. They really do understand how to get you hooked, and then put you up against players/AI where you either have to grind for the next 10 weeks or handover money, and even then I suspect you'd hit another wall every 10 or so levels. I usually end up uninstalling very quickly at this point.
