Readit NewsIts simple amazing.
First, in the days before mobile bank-id, they sent windows-only hardware as I recall. Then came the days of letters/cards/hardware getting lost in the mail.
I gave up on it in the end. I have multiple things (banking-wise) I no longer have online access to because of it.
If you're going to make one system to rule them all you need to make sure the logistics actually work.
I have a third party which returns errors ~20% of the time outside of working hours (yes, really).
1. Exceptions should be sent to sentry. 2. Exceptions should not be normal. 3. Do not log.
Solve for ability to review & debug after the fact.
E.g. stop publishing photos of queueing cars and cordoned off pumps and report purely on the statistics of the matter. Too many media outlets are entirely hell bent on getting clicks without a care for the furore they induce in the general public as a result.
Social media does of course amplify the messages and images the media put out, so they compound the issue.
Join a team building proof-of-concept energy supply businesses in international markets. We integrate with regional grid operators and other third parties (including Kaluza technology platforms) to deliver high-quality customer acquisition channels, operational tooling and experiences for in-life customers.
Right now we are looking for mid-level to senior product & customer-focused engineers who have experience with some subset of: TypeScript, Node, React, GraphQL, Terraform, CloudFormation, CircleCI.
What you can expect: - An environment where a healthy work-life balance is valued and respected. - A good deal of ownership (end-to-end) over the things that we build and maintain. - Support and opportunities to grow and develop professionally, through access to the wider OVO & Kaluza communities and resources.
We are currently (and likely to remain) remote-first, but successful candidates should be able to comfortably visit our London (Notting Hill) engineering offices when useful.
To apply directly to the international department, please shoot me an intro email with your CV mikael.kohlmyr@ovoenergy.com, for more open positions: https://careers.ovo.com/opportunities

As much as they’re excited about the technology itself, very few people are actually interested in using it. Instead, their business seems to revolve around the value of the utility tokens for their project.
Few people are buying the utility tokens to pay for the service. They’re buying them to horde so they can resell to other speculators when the price goes up. They have a lot of tokens in circulation, but only a small number of them get used to pay for the service. Many of them are sitting in the wallets of exchanges where they get traded back and forth but never come near the blockchain.
Investors only care about getting more press releases out so they can pump up the price of their discounted tokens, which have a shortened lockup period relative to something like stocks. It’s almost like a pump-and-dump scheme for investors.
Maybe their underlying project will become popular in the future, but the volatility of the token price makes it increasingly unattractive for companies that want to actually use it.
"almost"
If even useful services are being abused for speculation, it's time to realise the entire space is fundamentally broken. We've already seen massive fraud in the space, it's only a matter of time before people who fundamentally don't understand what they are "investing in" are left holding bags. It will necessarily collapse because of how it's being used. (imo)

This looks like a CEO a bit different from many others? (in a good way I'm guessing, for the moment)
With all the love and respect in the world, who do you think you're talking about? Emmet Shear is not trans to my knowledge, (nor, I suspect, his knowledge). If you think this was about Mira Murati, you should really get up to date before telling people off about pronouns.
