From the blog post (I was summarizing).

"Moderna grew at a rapid pace while maintaining these huge profit margins"..."Moderna is risky in true sense of the word."

I'm not arguing that Moderna isn't an interesting topic, but rather commenting on this part of the blog post.

There are lots of ways to contribute to open source projects like OpenBSD, though there's always a risk that helpful but tedious work is neglected. This seems both helpful and tedious, and thus I think it's a great idea.

More likely: China will pollute much of their countryside and waste billions on corruption and inefficiency. Also, China is polluting their air to a much higher degree than any western nation, and can't keep up with rising demand. Radioactive waste spilling into ground water would be a catastrophe.

Meanwhile, actual democracies can't place nuclear reactors and other facilities wherever they please. Citizens would object.
And then we likely have a pure dictatorship with the worlds second biggest nuclear arsenal and thousands of Russians will likely die from things like starvation and being killed by the new regime (or the old while it dies). No-one wins by killing off a regime. That is "let's bomb this country into democracy" thinking.

I find it amazing that early humans tended to make art of animals not humans. Like the cave paintings in France. It seems that early humans put the animals front and Center at some point.

I don't think it's in the realm of impossibility that in a near future certain types of cars, within an age/engine range, will stop being allowed to drive in public roads.

Some cities are doing this in Europe, where some areas of the city don't allow cars prior to 2005 or so. So if everything goes well, these classic cars with their original engine configurations will be limited to private tracks/garages/museums.

This startup seems to want to keep them on the public roads. Imagine you have the a project to restore a car, would you spend thousands to only have 10-15 years of driving on the roads? Or would you go electric?
This sounds about right to me, and has been my understanding of how communities homogenise and decay. Gatekeeping, in my opinion, doesn't deserve its bad rep. It alone is the only way to stem the tide in most situations.
Exactly.

The USA has its issues but it has great relations with its neighbours (minus Cuba), while on the other hand China's big neighbours all see China as a threat (except perhaps for Russia).

Seems to me it boils down to the CCP being a ruthless totalitarian regime headed by a dictator-for-life with an increasingly aggressive foreign policy (exhibit A: constant offensive cyberwarfare). Its neighbours can never be comfortable with that.

Ordinary web sites are quickly blocked and are not accessible without a VPN. Some popular VPN providers are blocked too. The app, once installed, appears to be more resistant to state-level disruption. At least until law enforcement pays a visit to Moscow offices, and then magically Apple and Google side with Putin.
Not the OP but you can have a large, complex system that's widely understood and supported by a decent sized team, where a rewrite is still not a commercially wise choice
I think the problem is incentive and of course money.

In past, western politicians didn't had to appease the mass as most people didn't use to live the modern life we do today. And the lobby we see today simply didn't use to exists. Now we have turned so much greedy that we only see short term advantage.

But China is different. In democracy votes are important. For China party is important. Party is eternal for them so they need to develop manufacturing, improve energy. CCP needs to think about their party future too because they might have to fight against whole world. As a result we can even see recent crackdowns, investment in research like nuclear etc.

What I feel is if more 50% of people are greedy/bad/egocentric democracy simply doesn't work. And the way housing/inflation/ overwork of printers democracy is prone to more harm.

Of course all of the above is my personal opinion so please don't feel afraid to post your opinions :)

Thank you.

> I am simply puzzled by how much modern app development actually revolves around the use of third party APIs

A staggering amount of web development relies on third-party libraries: React, Vue, etc. etc. It's just the way things work. You can make a website without the use of external resources, but it will be a little harder if you're building something more complex (with various states, etc.)

> Is modern app development all about putting independently provided pieces together ?

I would argue yes, the majority of development is putting pieces together and getting an output. They could be third-party, part of the standard library, or something in between :)

But this is a mostly American forum? Why say it is wrong to use the American word? Everyone understands what the poster meant. You wouldn't correct someone using the American billion just because it happened to be about a UK company either.
Yep, gotcha. I actually meant "pseudo", but I spend a lot of my day typing sudo so...

and whilst we're nitpicking, I also meant "lose" and not "loose" in the sentence below.
It is a simple list of candidates recommended to vote for that, according to Navalny team's research, have the highest chance of defeating the Putin's candidates.

The idea is that instead of spreading votes and allowing the baddies to get the highest percentage (but not even close to 50%) and win, people would concentrate their votes.

If you are still in disbelief, that Kremlin would apply such an enormous pressure just to ban a simple list of voting recommendations, I want to remind you that this is exactly what happened last night: the recommendations were posted on Google Docs and Russia decided to ban the whole Google Docs service for that.
Not sure if it matches your criteria of a mature component framework, but there's Foundation and UIkit. I've used both but all of my new projects use Tailwind. It matches my needs better because I use minimal JavaScript. It also doesn't get in my way and the documentation is refreshingly clear.

> And why aren't there more?

It seems to me these tightly coupled CSS + JS component frameworks are in an awkward position these days. React/Vue allows you more flexibility. If a project is really simple you can use vanilla JavaScript or something like Alpine.js.

Perhaps the demand isn't there anymore.

Or even better is just not do a PhD. Doing a PhD is one of the worst things that most people do to themselves. It mainly exists to provide cheap labour to exploitive universities while creating a huge opportunity cost for students. And worse does not provide any employable skills to more than 9 out of 10 PhDs who need to find a job outside academia. If you are thinking of doing a PhD you are better off just doing a master's.

Random sign-up flow feedback/nitpick;

I would take "30-day trial" out of the bullet point feature list for your $5/month plan as it seems jarring to me and out of place - I don't consider a free trial a "feature" that I would pay for.

I don't think it even matters if you reduce the bullet points to 3. My original thinking on seeing free-trial listed there was "oh, they don't have anything else to put here".

Maybe move nearer the call to action button as a "Free for 30 days!" call-out.

I'd also be tempted to expand "Onboard consultation" to something like "Free 1 hour onboarding session" which sounds a bit more specific and enticing.

Linked to this, I think the call-to-action buttons
need something a bit more specific/inspiring than just "Get Access".

These are the most important buttons on your website. Definitely worth a bit more thought.

Lastly, I hoped that "Play with Taskable" button on the home page would take me to an open live demo (ie. no signup required).

When I hit the auth page I just went back to the home page and continued browsing.

Really minor details though... best of luck!

EDIT: one last thing - your signup form looks like a login page. In fact it's visually identical to your actual login page.

It's a positive that you only require email and password to signup, but maybe think about visually distinguishing this from the login page.

I think this is partly why I was put off after clicking "Play with Taskable" as it felt offputting to be presented with something that looked like it assumed I already had an account.

Finally the blue of your logo on the auth page in particular is noticeably a different blue to the background and button colour, but close enough that it looks like you've tried to match it but not quite got there. My personal opinion is either these blues need to match or you need to make them more different (darker/lighter). We're in uncanny valley territory currently with them being so similar, but not the same.

(Same comment for your input field highlight colour which is a different blue again and doesn't sit well for me with the colour of your logo).

Not sure why I'm in a nitpicking pedantic mode today... sorry :-). It's easy to be an armchair designer...
Odysee[0] and LBRY[1] seem to be a good choice for anti-censorship. From what I understand, the underlying technology is LBRY, and Odysee is a company cresting a proprietary front-end and putting money back into the LBRY technology.

This is certainly true - for some people, running is constitutes a significant net positive (in terms of motivation/rewards).

A few arguments, though:

1. to me, it doesn't seem the case of the OP (if it was, they'd be already doing it)

2. I know only few people who consistently run, so my opinion is that the motivation/energy balance is not positive for the vast majority of the people (at least, from the mid-term onwards)

3. regarding the "exercise" concept, it depends on what one means. exercise as functional-training-at-home-or-in-the-park is hard to carry in the mid/long term; it's terribly boring and I believe only highly motivated people can do it. if one talks about organized sport activities, I'm all for it; it's definitely something that I generally suggest, but my observations is that those who are not already doing one in the 30s/40s, don't find sport fun in general and don't stick to (or even start) one.

> Can you please be more specific which vaccine you consider experimental?

All of the COVID-related ones.

There are no known long-term side effects as these drugs that have been injected into humans are only a few years old at most.

According to Reuters [0] the trials are still ongoing. According to the UK government these vaccines were given out while still in trial [1] and some are ongoing.

Whether that's standard practice or not, they are still working out the long-term side-effects.

So what happens in 5 years? What data do we have on these? What happens if Alzheimers cases go through the roof in 5 years? Do we just throw our hands up and say, "Well, we never saw that coming!" By then there will be billions with the injections.

Vaccines take up to 10 years to make [2]. There is no possible way you can simulate the long-term side effects. None whatsoever. You need to observe people that have taken it for years! You also need a diverse group of people: female physiology can change dramatically based on age. Asians, white people and black people may react differently to the injections and so on... there is no long-term data on these injections! None!

I agree with you that sanctions against countries don't work.

But then the next logical step is to propose the action that actually works: sanctions against individuals. Perhaps that's what should be done - sanctions against individual decision-makers at Google and Apple?..

I see how it hurts to be lied to.

I don't see how "we weren't given equity but now they sold" is an issue. It doesn't change anything about your past payout. Yes, you would have been better of had you gotten equity, but you probably would have given up salary for that. Apparently you found the "no equity" deal acceptable.

Why does being sold make the old compensation scheme unfair all of a sudden. Its not like employees have a right to equity. It is somewhat standard, but here it was clear enough ahead of time that there would be no equity. The given reason for why they do not offer equity turned out to be wrong. But why does the reason you did not get equity matters? Would a different reason for not giving equity have changed whether you had accepted the job?
This is one of the few big disadvantages of being from an English-speaking country. Here in Germany, being fluent in German is still a major plus in job interviews that the vast majority of global talent doesn't have.

> they do not remove "illegal" YouTube videos yet

They don't? They do "remove" them in Germany, though it's typically enough to set your location to outside Germany, they're not strongly geo-fenced. I assume they do similar things in Russia. They don't need to remove them globally to be compliant with local laws, as those laws typically end at the border of the nation they're operating in.

Same experience for us. While we moved away from Mailchimp recently for Pardot, email marketing is huge growth area for us since the start of the pandemic. I think it's a combination of people seeking new solutions to this new world we live in, and understanding that if each email we send has a genuine value for who we send it to, they are very receptive. It's the opposite of spam, as we're asked more and more to please keep our customers up to date with the latest trends.

All the blaming of the UK seems to have been really blatant scapegoating that went unchallenged because it fit with what the media wanted people to believe, though. The UK suffered the same shortfall in yield of the AstraZeneca vaccine as everywhere else, though to a slightly lesser extent early on as the production line here got funded earlier and the early teething troubles sorted out sooner. We were also far more reliant on the AZ vaccine than the EU, as they themselves liked to point out in order to argue they actually did a good job. This meant the yield and blood clot issues had a much bigger impact here. The UK government just did a far better job of limiting the impact of this by ordering more vaccines early on, basing their rollout on what AZ could actually deliver, and better public communications about the safety of the vaccine. There's no reason the EU couldn't have done the same other than their own decisions - AZ was quite keen to set up larger-scale manufacturing for the EU, and they could easily have negotiated a provision like the UK's requiring timely notice of how much vaccine would actually be delivered. They just didn't because they didn't seem to understand why this was necessary.
There is often a disconnect between what is the constitution/the law, and what the people in power actually order their cops/soldiers to do.

The constitution of the USSR guaranteed the privacy of citizens' communications, freedom of religion, and doesn't just allow citizens to criticize public organizations but prohibits persecution of critics. You know what happened in reality.

The US is by no means immune to that - we've seen last year that the President can easily send some of the millions of armed people he has under his direct control to crack down on protests and disappear some people -- while the constitutional legitimacy gets debated months later once the damage is done...
Of course you are partially responsible for everything you are spending money on, whether it is energy or blood diamonds. That is hardly controversial. If you wouldn't spend the money, it wouldn't be produced.

And no one is demanding that you should stop using energy completely because you only can buy dirty energy, but you can choose to use less of it, by not using it for something that so far only have proved to be a huge Ponzi scheme. In many parts of the world you can choose to pay more for cleaner energy. But that would of course reduce the profit from mining.
