I really really really love the implementation here, super fast search, amazing filtering and showcasing the video, definitely will address the curiosity of young (and old like myself) .
Congratulations on the amazing delivery. Truly great solution
This is over 631 million hectares of land destined for preservation,
Equivalent to 48 European countries COMBINED.
Amazon is not just IN BRAZIL, but spans over 9 nations.
No, I am not saying that’s a “green light” for full on deforestation nor I am saying that Brazil is doing a the most fantastic job preserving it.
What I am saying is that Brazil IS doing something to preserve the Amazon AND other forest land such as “Serra do Mar” and that a coalition of funds/resources could help improve enforcement of the law in these Protected areas. This much more “attainable” or acceptable by the current Brazilian government, which is currently very nationalist and patriotic. (President is retired Army captain, very right wing)
Brazil would not part/sell with a piece of its national sovereign territory to anyone, even if it’s for a “greater good”, just as US would not sell the Tongass forest in Alaska or the Humboldt-Toiyabe in California/Nevada “for greater
good”
Every country has it’s share in controlling carbon emissions and global warming. No country should “outsource” their share of responsibility by enforcing environmental protection standards they are not willing to withhold themselves.
TL;DR: Brazil has some protections in place, could use some help, would not sell the Amazon because it’s part/territory of Brazil and 8 other countries.
Full disclosure: Brazilian by birth, American by choice
I have been a happy Hetzner customer for the past year.
I have a EX 4S server, with 32GB memory, 2x 3TB Hard Drives in Raid 1 and core I7. I installed VMWare ESX 5 on this machine and this is essentially my test lab on the cloud ( I am an information security engineer).
So, for the past year, I am able to host :
* Windows 2008 serverS (note the S, I have 4 of them running right now)
* a virtualized firewall (PFSENSE),
* one of the windows 2008 is my M$ Dev server (Visual Studio 2010 and 2012)
* several linux machines (backtrack, ubuntu server for zabbix, ubuntu 12.04 for all the atlassian suite),
* OpenVPN vpn server in debian
* FreeNAS machine
* Many other machines which I start and stop as I please, for testing purposes.
All this + 14 public IPV4 and a /64 public ipv6 for ONLY $109 dollars a month.
I don't have much latency issues and this machine is what has allowed me to drop my loaded desktop and work with just my rMBP because I have all the power I need for my work at just a SSH or RDP distance.
I suggest trying them out, specially the EX 5, which only costs 59 EUROS. Don't forget that if you are not in the Europe, you don't pay VAT (so it's another 19% discount)
Let me know if you have any specific questions. Too bad they don't have coupons or referrals :)
It is a nice perspective to see that other people also live "The American Dream".
I am brazilian, born and raised in Brazil, but had the privilege of coming here twice (Disney) when I was a teenager. This was when I decided to eventually move to US at my first opportunity (20 years old).
It was for sure, the best decision of my life since the opportunities and lifestyle that I have here in US are simply just short of impossible back in Brazil. 7 Years in US gave me the opportunity to really grow professionally and personally.
I think my story is the similar to Danilo's…. Great parents, great support and education when growing up but ultimately, after age 17, "you are by yourself", which also includes paying for you college education if you want one.
For enabling me to get amazing education with scholarships and free content made available by US Colleges and Universities, also to accepting me as one of your own, THANK YOU AMERICA !
My Retina Macbook Pro 13" is my main machine and I connect 2 27" Viewsonic monitors to it daily. It works just fine for everyday work (iterm, vim, intellij, rdp and office apps)
If only it had 16GB (not available on the 13" rMBP model), it would be the perfect laptop
You should never leave VMware management ports open to the internet.
I suggest you install a Windows XP, Win Server inside the virtual, turn on the "automatic start up" on that VM, just after you the automatic start up of your virtual FW and use RDP with a 2 factor authentication (duo security is free and works beautifully), which now is you "management" machine.
Just my 2 cents on Virtual Security, since this is the setup I have :)
Well... I worked at a company that tried to implement OpenERP for managing the Back-End operations of an E-Commerce business.
Too many bus to fix, even on core. Money that was supposed to be used in new functionality development was spent paying partners to fix issues we found.
Moved to Tryton ( http://www.tryton.org/en/ ), which is a lot more pythonic, a lot more concise and follows standards, including PEP8 and company still Tryton today.
Financials and forecasting with OpenERP can be a mess, specially when you get users that are used with quickbooks.
Check Tryton ( http://www.tryton.org/en/ ). I am sure you will like it. There are a bunch of modules that also install as python modules, virtualenv support, PostgresSQL, clear development roadmap and much more. Also, thre is this magento integration that is pretty nice -> https://imagento.openlabs.co.in/
Very very nice, congratulations !
Could you share a little bit of the technologies used ?
How to you make every browser go to the same page ?
Do you think this would be possible with video as well, like making sure everybody is at the same point on a video ?
Congratulations on the amazing delivery. Truly great solution
