SEEKING FREELANCER Remote: YES

Technologies: Python, Git, AWS, Terraform, CI/CD

I'm looking to kickstart a simple python microservice template that: - Spins up a pair of EC2s (some security group details) - Deploys the microservice and dependencies (via custom image, packer, dockerized container, whatever) - Terraform scripts for prod vs test - Best efforts via supervisord (or whatever) to restart the python process if it dies - Prefer Gitlab CI/CD pipeline - Would be great if could drop to packet.net as well as AWS (just a nice-to-have)

Would like this to be a starting place for quickly building "production-ish" python services, and am 110% happy with it being open source forever.

Yeah -- my gut intuition is that this would be a GREAT opp for custodians of shares. (Your shell contract example basically)

You'd buy huge tranches of companies and swap out synthetic exposure to secondary investors who want just temporary directional risk in these companies. Modeling the relative value of the true shares and synthetic shares would be interesting/fun.

1. I hate paying so much for a house, this is ridiculous, they need to build more supply. 2. I bought a house for some ridiculous price anyways. 3. I'm now fucked if more supply is added. Vote against any proposition that adds more units to the city. 4. Go to my job where I make the world a better place.

Naively, is this reasonable because of the density relative to the hydro pump solutions? Intuitively, moving liquids feels easier to me.

I'm on his side. =\

I think the vilification is comical. Not super impressed with the need to dig into his background to find examples of how much of a "tech bro" he is.

This reads differently if it's not coming from the mouth of a hated-elite.

This all feels a bit silly as I'm not terribly convinced time-between-texts conveys much about the process (THE BRAIN) generating said data points.

The flow chart for "Should I reply to this right now?" is pretty complicated; recovering that PGM is hard!

And as for signaling "busyness" -- that's better accomplished through delaying showing you "read" their messsage, no?

Is there a missing niche for a whatsapp wrapper that delays "read" confirmations by 3 minutes?

I have nearly the 100% opposite opinion on many of these issues haha.

Oil is a bit of scapegoat I think. All commodities are on basically all time lows. Value of real assets across the board has been generally plummeting.

Hard to know how much of this is proxy selling of the Chinese economy -- I suspect a bit; it's perhaps a plausible outcome for Chinese stocks to plunge much further and have commodities RALLY out of it on the unwind.
