I work on one building block of climate tech ― energy demand flexibility software. Useful in all kinds of settings, like industry or microgrids.

The collaborative aspect is that [our platform](https://github.com/FlexMeasures/flexmeasures) is open source, under a permissive license.

I'm trying to grow a startup on top of it, but the whole idea of doing impactful work is that it's being used to speed up the energy transition everywhere. Less re-inventing the wheel. If you are involved in any projects where energy demand flexibility should be unearthed, please consider using FlexMeasures ― with us or without us. Happy to chat.

Oh yeah forgot to mention that. That also fits the humanitarian aid sector, we believe. Hopefully several NGOs can use the same tool later on.

People counters for retail stores or airports are commonplace, true. Recently, humanitarian aid organisations began to show interest in using them, as well. They could use them for instance to manage refugee camps better or to understand migration routes.

So we built a tool for the NGOs in this sector, with a very similar technology used by OP as basis:

https://www.aileenproject.org/

One key difference is that each Aileen box is a client, which will upload its findings to a server, so that NGO management staff can review it.

Now that the basis is there (and being piloted), we hope to make it into a product tailored to the humanitarian aid sector. One key aspect is taking privacy seriously, others will drill down into the features that refugee camp managers tell us they'd need (for instance alerts if populations seem to be on a rapid move).

No recruiters/No agencies.

Here is a pip package called "nbstripout" which tell git to ignore notebook output: https://github.com/kynan/nbstripout It can really help establish good practice in a project with little effort:

    pip install --upgrade nbstripout
    nbstripout --install

Softwear | Senior Python Developer | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | ONSITE http://softwear.nl

Skills: Python, Docker, Bash, MongoDB

Full-Time (or four days per week)

Compensation: Based on experience - up to par w.r.t. developer pay rates in The Netherlands

Medium-sized B2B company serving small/medium retailers and wholesalers. Well on their way from an agency model (company exists since 25 years, founder still serving as CEO) to a PaaS model with a stack of MongoDB/Python/Angular. Legacy is close to being slain for good and there is still room for shaping the future.

- We offer a relaxed working environment in which you can take part in the technological decision-making.

- Our Python backend is based on Pyramid. We aim at open-sourcing the core very soon.

- You've got a drive for quality and the experience to solve problems by yourself and supervise junior developers.

We will interview with Google Hangouts and might get you to Amsterdam for a final round. Only light code challenges. No Visa support unfortunately, so only EU citizens need apply.

I really wonder how content providers will react when VPNs eventually go mainstream

So in your example, eyedee.me is your email provider, right?

I made a Persona account just now. All I saw happening was that I clicked on a link in a confirmation email. Was there also communication between mozilla and my email provider? (I am with a small ISP who is serving my emails - I have my own domain, so my email address is sthg like [email protected]). What went on behind the curtains, if anything, and why did it work with my small provider right away?
