I first learned about this word a few weeks ago when I was studying for my IELTS exam. Unfortunately, I haven't had the occasion to use it or to hear it from someone else.

CV.ME is built to make the life of HR and Job Applicants easy. HR has a hard time sifting through mountains of CV attachments which come in all shapes and sizes. Current Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are bloated with meaningless features. CV.ME simplifies the CV creation and job application process for candidates, and the job posting and applicant tracking process for HR.

HR posts jobs. Applicants create their online CV and apply to jobs with one click. A built in ATS helps HR track such applicants. All of these happen in one unified place. That's CV.ME.

But one Airbnb host told BBC News they had received no clear instructions from the platform to say they were not allowed to take reservations.

Maybe the platform hasn't been in touch, but the government advice has been pretty clear and consistent about no non-essential journeys. Why on earth would they think a holiday retreat would be exempt from that?

Makes sense. Broadcasters don't allow ads from their competitors on their networks (you would never see an ad for a CBS show on Freeform),so idk why they would allow ads from streamers. Probably thought it was incremental dollars when it just basically meant Netflix was stealing subscribes away from them.

At the end of the day, Disney is still gonna sell that inventory (maybe at a slightly lower premium). So I would see it's worth it to lose $5-10MM a year if it means slightly cutting off the reach of one of your biggest competitors.

The message has to be signed with the private key of the key so no one but the real owner can delete it. In fact, in the readme:

If a user can prove that a key belongs to them (by signing a message with their private key) then they are able to remove their public key with no interaction needed from the server operator. Once a key is removed, it is removed from all servers in the pool.

This is a pretty fucking awesome idea.

yes, it's pretty stupid but it's the product that the commercial team sells (your own small managed private mail server). Some of the servers have more than 2000 accounts but others have 6 or 10... A few years ago, until 2006, the servers where small appliances installed on the client's office. Now they work the same way but mostly virtual and since most of the clients are small bussiness.. some have really few accounts.

On our shared mail system we have about 40k accounts in 2 cyrus servers (with 2 more for HA)

Would you pay for this? For the last 3 years I've been creating a platform for this kind of servers for a small spanish ISP. It has grown to 15 Openvz hosts. A rails app connects to the host to create the virtual machine. Centos is installed and configured with puppet. A rails app is installed in every server and used to configure the accounts, domains, etc.

Postfix, Cyrus, IMAPS, SMTPS, POP3S, HTTPS, Sieve for filters on the server, roundcube as webmail (on a new product I would pay for @mail), decent spam filter (right now we run our own system based on commtouch and spamassasin), etc. You can export the whole cyrus mail storage folder or export mail to other server with imapsync, same thing with the database that contains the account, domains and aliases, so you are not locked. Billing can be done by hard drive space or accounts. They are also good as outgoing mail servers because you are on your own ip.

I run everything by myself, right now we have 126 servers with about 12300 accounts and thanks to puppet it's really easy to admin. I've always thought that I should try to do it by myself.

ejem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1918_flu_pandemic

Most victims were healthy young adults, in contrast to most influenza outbreaks, which predominantly affect juvenile, elderly, or weakened patients.

The pandemic lasted from June 1918 to December 1920, spreading even to the Arctic and remote Pacific islands. Between 50 and 100 million died, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history. Even using the lower estimate of 50 million people, 3% of the world's population (1.86 billion at the time) died of the disease. Some 500 million, or 27% (≈1/4), were infected.
