Alara Imaging | Senior Front-end Developer for Medical Imaging / Analytics | Remote (US)
Alara Imaging is looking for a Senior Front-end developer to help build our data display and visualization applications. Our team has many decades of medical imaging data tech stacks and clinical experience.
We aim to bring medical imaging analytics that power clinical, operational and financial insights using multiple data feeds and innovative edge-to-cloud medical data ingestion and processing. Our platform is fully SOC2 and HIPAA compliant.
Our tech stack is React/Next.js on AWS, and we prefer cloud native and open source technologies. Experience with advanced frontend data grid components (eg. AG-Grid) strongly preferred.
Not directly comparable for two important reasons:
The Good Friday Agreement was signed before the Rome Statutes on War Crimes came into effect (in no small part as a response to similar "blank-slate" deals in the 80's and early 90's). That means that signatory countries are bound by international law to prosecute and punish war crimes and crimes against humanity committed after their signing, proportionally to the severity of the crime.
That's what I mean by first-world justice. Even in Ireland, no crimes under the Rome statute after 2002 can be met with the level of impunity the FARC-Santos deal guarantees.
And with respect to McGuinness, even if the Rome statute had been in effect during his participation in the IRA, he was never charged with anything resembling a war crime, even after the Saville Inquiry. He would be more akin to a member of the shady, FARC-friendly political party "Marcha Patriotica". The crimes of the FARC leadership, on the other hand, are fully documented, and sentenced in-absentia. Most of them have over 400 years of cumulative sentences, including murder, extortion, torture, kidnapping, child recruitment etc. All constituting war crimes and crimes against humanity.
We would be ok with granting amnesty to lower level FARC scientists, but the Hitlers, Eichmanns, Goebbelses, Goerings, Heydrichs, Himmlers, Hoesses and Mengeles of the FARC must see some jail time.
Guerrillas were created because justice was not applied when crimes were committed against their founders. Paramilitaries were created because the state did not apply justice or provide security to victims of guerilla crimes. Most of the problems colombia has faced during the past 50 years are not due to guerrillas or paramilitaries, but because we as a society apparently find justice to be an 'obstacle' to other ends, large and small.
Really? which convicted war criminal holds office? If you say 'Bush' you didn't really read my comment. I fully support him being investigated for war crimes. But until he is convicted, that is a non-sequitur.
Gladly. That is one of the favorite simplistic spins of the supporters of the FARC-Santos deal, when in reality it has little to do with the victims and a lot to do with internal colombian political structures. Most maps you will see supporting this idea mix together 'victims of conflict' without separating them between paramilitary/FARC or drug trafficking victims, so it would be inaccurate to conclude that the most areas affected by FARC violence were in favor of the deal. Add to that the states where Santos mobilized his political machinery to buy votes, which coincides more precisely with the states supporting the deal (http://www.elpais.com.co/elpais/colombia/proceso-paz/noticia...). For example, the state with most victims (Antioquia) voted overwhelmingly against (62.00%). To say that Antioquia, Santander, Norte de Santander, Risaralda, Caldas, Quindío, Tolima, Cundinamarca, Huila, Caquetá, Meta, Casanare and Arauca states saw little violence is just a lie and affront to their victims.
Name ONE developed country that would accept zero jail time and political eligibility for someone convicted of multiple war crimes, with hundreds of years in cumulative prison sentences.
That is precisely my point. You are just one of many colombians who can't seem to make the connection between repeatedly helping criminals dodge justice and Colombia's current situation.
This is just another version of the white savior complex. Developed countries support 'peace' processes that make them feel good about themselves, with little regard for the root causes of the conflict to begin with. Apparently they think us colombians are too backwards to deserve first-world justice, so they applaud compromises that they would NEVER accept themselves.
If you stop your constitutional obligation to combat crime, OBVIOUSLY there will be fewer deaths in combat. That does not make it right.
And of course, in typical izquierdista fashion, you justify your arguments by turning it into a class warfare statement, even grouping me with computer scientists (I am not) from La Javeriana (fine private university, but I'm also not from there).
FARC apologists will always find a way to make everything about Uribe. All manners of crime are justified because 'Uribe did it first'. Colombian leftists are nothing if not hypocritical.
There was no 'stalemate'. FARC in 2010 were 5000 strong, taking heavy losses and on the run. Then came Santos, who obsessed over winning international recognition that has eluded him at home, legitimized FARC, gave them an international stage and set in motion a 6 year 'peace process' that has left FARC in congress and senate, with all their crimes whitewashed, and with our already weak justice system mortally wounded.
The Union and Confederate armies both had around 200,000 soldiers each in 1861. That is a war on equal terms. FARC guerillas are about 17,000 now (about 5000 in 2010, before this 'peace process'). The colombian army is 500,000 plus 40 million regular citizens who despise FARC. The situation is quite different from US post-civil war reconstruction efforts.
By that logic there should be no plea bargains or criminal surrenders. You negotiate not only to be released with no consequence. You also negotiate to lessen your punishment. The AUC paramilitary leaders did this and are now paying reduced sentences (8 years) in the USA, which if you ask me is shameful considering their crimes. FARC leaders, for the same crimes will not see one day in jail.
Not equal parties. A legitimately constituted state with 50 million people vs. 17,000 guerillas. All countries have terrorism and 'coexist' with it. In the meantime their citizens can go about their business. That was the state of things when Santos took office and revived the FARC guerilla.
Yes I read it. Word by word. I am born and raised colombian, and for over 40 years have seen the result of sacrificing justice for short term gains or individual vanity.
It's not 5 seats. It's 5 in the senate, 5 in congress, and 16 in special circumscription where only FARC friendly candidates can participate.
They have massive amounts of money stashed for the upcoming campaigns, and by now you should be aware that money buys regional candidates in Colombia. Add to that fear of FARC retaliation in areas where the government now will have NO presence during elections or afterwards. (they have strategically left Frente Primero out of the accord, to handle the residual drug operation and armed coercion).
"Confessing" to war crimes and crimes against humanity does not constitute appropriate punishment under any international standard. The International Criminal Court and Human Rights Watch have both been quite clear that no jail time would be unacceptable.
You have lived here barely enough to have only seen Santos as president, who has done absolutely NOTHING except push his narcissistic agenda forward, at the expense of justice, economy and the independence of the branches of power. I am old enough to know colombia's problem is not 17,000 asshole terrorists in the jungle, it is LACK OF JUSTICE at every level, with politicians, guerrillas, paramilitaries etc. Sacrificing justice to appease one criminal entity is exactly why my country cannot 'move forward'.
Read the final agreement (if you dare and don't vomit easily):
- Those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity will NOT go to jail, in a blatant violation of the Rome statute.
- Despite earning BILLIONS from drug trafficking, they will not issue any reparations to the victims, instead, ordinary colombians will be taxed for that purpose.
- They will be GIVEN between 10-30% of control of the senate. No election necessary.
- They will be GIVEN 26 regions where there will be no state presence. Coincidentally in every strategic drug corridor.
- They will not return the recruited minors.
- They will participate in the creation of a "super-tribunal" with absolute legal powers, even over cases that have been sentenced and closed.
This is not an agreement, it is the surrender of a state and should be an international disgrace. In a real country this would constitute high treason.
