It’s interesting that we have such different experiences. When I had to get a residence permit in Zurich 9 years ago, the process took one visit to the Kreisburo, they spoke English and I was out the door in 15 minutes.

Maybe the system got overloaded later? Or maybe it differs per canton?

"It's their products."

Amazon as we know it today wasn't made by Bezos, but by the thousands of people that work for him.

It's their company, not his. If anyone has a right to Bezos' billions it's them.

He, of course, deserves a nominal fee... maybe on par with the lowest-paid worker at Amazon.

Thank you, this is great. I am still a bit mystified for murky reasons I may be able to articulate better later... but feel much closer to understanding this than before :)
You're saying this so definitively even though you can't know that what you're saying is true, based on the article:

> In order not to hamper innovation or research, free and open-source software developed or supplied outside the course of a commercial activity should not be covered by this Regulation. [..]

> Commercial activity is understood as providing goods in a business related context. Non-profit organisations may be considered as carrying out commercial activities if they operate in such a context. This can only be appreciated on a case by case basis taking into account the regularity of the supplies, the characteristics of the product, the intentions of the supplier, etc. In principle, occasional supplies by charities or hobbyists should not be considered as taking place in a business related context.

> Open-source software is provided both within and outside of business related contexts. And the 'occasional supplies' exception in this quote seems to be of limited use to projects society comes to depend on. Would you consider an open-source operating system (MINIX) that has been freely available for 35 years an 'occasional supply'? What does its integration in all Intel processors since 2015 mean for being 'goods' outside a 'business related context'? How about the BIND project, a staple of open-source core Internet infrastructure shipping for 40 years?

This feels like a huge issue to me and that's before considering how most OSS we use everyday is worked on by full-time employees as a part of their jobs.

A lot of these exchanges have suddenly died because they printed more currency than could be reasonably liquidated on short notice. And borrowed heavily against these tokens.

When the bank goes bust there's insurance on your deposits. If the amount stored is greater than that insurance you may want to invest the difference.

And gold is practically hard to work with and barely functions as an inflation hedge (point 1) over reasonable time periods (your lifetime).

Fractional reserving is taken as something that is good and wonderful, but before you had the fed who could print money at will, you had banking crashes caused by it on a regular basis.

In a fixed money supply currency, fractional reserve banking should be illegal and banks should instead make money off fees. Venture capital should put their own money at risk to invest in the economy. How will people afford houses though? The housing market booms and busts because of the wildly fluctuating availability of credit caused by the money multiplier rapidly creating and destroying money which is tied to the fractional reserve banking concept. Homes would be drastically cheaper and people would actually be able to save to buy them if it weren't for the huge supply of rapidly created and later contracting credit available to buy them. Things we buy with credit like housing and education have gone up steadily in price, while things bought with cash have not.

The fractional reserve people are so sick of crypto, that ,in one platform, you can buy bitcoin but you can't send it to a crypto address. You have to get your friend on the platform, you can send it to them, and then they can convert it back into fiat. It's ridiculous, you're basically just buying and selling a security that tracks Bitcoin and not Bitcoin itself.
> flush out all the awful NPM modules out there you don't even know you have a dependency on and create a JS module ecosystem worth its salt

This kind of view is very prevalent in the web community, and in my opinion it's often the failing of the ecosystem. Good engineering takes time, there's almost no project out there that nailed everything on day one. It is through iteration and progressive improvement we achieve big things. Anyone with a crash course in programming can publish a library in a week. But it takes proficiency and hard work to maintain an interface over years or even decades. There is also no such thing as a perfect solution. Every solution makes tradeoffs and being able to adapt to tradeoffs relevant to your problem is a huge aspect of engineering.

Deno going the scorched earth way would mean pulling back the ecosystem by at least 10 years. There is no guarantee they will get things "perfect" this time around. In all likelihood, they eventually would've come up against the same set of constraints the original ecosystem did, make similar tradeoffs and there would be a conversation 10 years from now about needing a reboot.

The right way to do is to embrace legacy and build solid tooling where the legacy gives you rough edges. Another big aspect of engineering, in my opinion, is not being fanatical about aesthetics. Function over form, every time. I'm glad Deno is taking this route, I was previously critical of their choice to fork core packages like dotenv, semver, base64 etc, but hopefully this will move the community towards consolidation rather fragmentation.

In this era when music has mostly become Tik-Tok or Reels-centric, artists have at times compromised quality for views. Bringing in a revolution in this trend is the Canadian music artist CJ Stain. In his attempt to turn over a fresh page in the predetermined trends that have infected the music industry for the longest time, Stain has already brought forth splendid musical creations. An advocate of women and of the LGBTQ+ community, Stain’s music is aimed at changing the unfair way the music industry has portrayed them, and taking him one step further in this direction is his latest track ‘True Love’.

About:

The talented Canadian singer was truly disappointed and outraged at the way music videos have represented women, exploiting stereotypes and setting but unrealistic and somewhat disrespectful bars for women, be it the lyrics or the images. It was then that he aimed at creating music that would do away with this off-putting way of female representation and using his music to challenge and expand the society’s set paradigms of gender structures. His goal is to target through his music the social stigma and gender inequality that women have been victims of.

CJ Stain

Music Career:

This EDM singer/activist specializes in remaking songs and injecting them with a much needed positive outlook. He came into prominence with his remake of Sage the Gemini’s popular song “Good Thing” that featured Nick Jonas. The classic hip-hop swing had gained the attention of audiences worldwide. He then went on to produce exceptional tracks like ‘Set Me Free’ that showed the artist’s sublime creative expertise and set the bars high for the next releases to come. The songs that he creates are aimed at empowering women from all walks of life. Stain’s music has a poetic ingenuity that exhibits his use of all three forms of odes: Pindaric, Horatian and even Irregular. The lyrics have an alliterative quality that provides his music with a rhythm that is catchy and becomes a pleasant brainworm.

Latest Release:

CJ Stain’s latest release ‘True Love’ that hit the internet in the August of 2022, has smashed the airwaves globally and has been extremely well-received. The song, with its catchy lyrics, hypnotizing vocals and groovy dance music, is rife with all the qualities that makes a song an international hit. It captures the essence of Stain’s music – “doing something special” for the ladies. It is a song about true love and acceptance that leads to self-confidence. With fresh new tracks like these, keep your eyes open for the next big thing in the music industry.

Print your key works fine if I’m locking my “money” under a mattress. If the point of Bitcoin I was to replace currency then I’d still need an easy way to keep it close with my all times. So, carry your signed transfer title to your house in the wallet and lose your entire house to a mugging seems more appropriate as an analogy.
Decentralized exchanges like dydx still don’t seem to have taken off.

> Is there any evidence at all that any of these reporters were taking money vs. just writing up company press releases as news?

Yes. Being discussed now on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33593234

Cynically, they give negative coverage by default to encourage "charitable giving". When the org starts "donating" money to journalists, the tone of the coverage flips.
The blowup happened because CZ acres on the leaked balance sheet. It might have been years before FTX found out otherwise.
Best features Polymail has offered has been mostly the augmentations over IMAP/POP3 stuff in other apps like Apple Mail. I'm talking about Unsubscribe, Block Sender, and Snooze. I used these a lot since joining Polymail.

However, I never found the ease of achieving Inbox Zero like I did with Mailbox. I don't think anything has gotten close to that, and I still miss it as I'm pretty sure it was the perfect mail app.

Polymail's read receipts were very useful, even after they got blurred out, it was still great to get the "Someone read..." notifications.

Signatures were so clean and synced across my devices without any problems.

Dislikes about Polymail (and stopping me from switching to a paid plan) - hard to refresh inbox (I still don't know how to force this apart from quit and reopen on Mac), the fact that it is not a native app (Electron or similar), weird behaviour when tapping a new push notification on iOS (sometimes the previously read email would stay open), just general non-native feelings.

I can't really justify the price and I never used any of the enterprise features, we use Slack for all that stuff, plus I am not a salesperson and if I were in the founder role of selling hard and raising money again I would probably invest in Superhuman.

As a thought, I will probably switch to Airmail as its $10 a year price point for a passive email user seems just right.

Best of luck with growing Polymail and good on you for giving it a new lease of life :)
When I studied C in college everyone recommended the K&R C book.

I found it the be of no value to me for learning the language. Instead I found King's C Programming: A Modern Approach much more enlightening.

I know K&R is widely well-regarded, so I found it interesting how difficult it was for me to learn from it.
This is why Bitcoin is money. Bitcoin creates an incentive to participate in running the network. Mastodon does not have such an incentive. Mastodon server admins have to either pay out of pocket or come up with a scheme to charge users.

Email is similar and now most people get their e-mail from one of a few providers who exploit their data for advertising purposes. This is exactly the problem we wish to distance ourselves from in regard to centralized social services such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc.

If you're not the customer, you become the product.

Mastodon and the Fediverse made decentralized software that people want to use - but they didn't come up with a way to make it sustainable. Web3 has a model of financial sustainability, but they've yet to come up with any other decentralized software that lots of people want to use. These two communities focused on decentralization should really collaborate more.

The same people who wouldn't be charitable with, say, Exxon, are bending over backwards to defend global pharmaceuticals.

Exxon has an interest in minimizing (disregarding) the harmful effects of their products and same goes for Pfizer & friends who's got every govt funneling money to them seemingly without limit.
Most countries aren't the US and most people don't live in the US. It's also not where most of Gates' charity goes.

Gates offers charity only under specific conditions, especially in Africa. He gives charity for schooling, if it's for private schools he could make money off of elsewhere (at the expense of public schools). He gives charity for agriculture, if it's for some specific seeds he makes money off of (at the expense of the local people choosing what they think is appropriate). He distorts poor economies towards his own ends, that is the problem.

A truck without solid state batteries or lithium-sulfer and a good recharging network is just a glorified suburban commuting vehicle with terrible aerodynamics.

Scaling is tough, it's what Tesla has done pretty well. I don't think these numbers are nuts if the numbers represent proper scaling and investment, people were freaking out about Tesla's losses, but if you looked at the production capacity investment it looked completely rational (although with those numbers the funding can be difficult).

Roadster --> S --> X --> 3 --> Y and scaling production numbers all kept things plausible even if the absolute numbers seemed nuts.

Now Lucid and Rivian need to navigate more uncertain fundraising conditions, but at a certain point they become, at a minimum, acquisition targets for the multitude of large automakers that dragged their feet on EVs like Fiat Chrysler, Toyota, etc, or as a foothold for the chinese EV makers.

Why the Chinese haven't invaded the US market is puzzling. But they are coming.

> And there is no "conspiracy", the author conspired with... who?

> However, it is a trap to engage with the disingenuous.

I agree that there was clearly no conspiracy. However, the implication that was made is that the left is disingenuously conspiring in the support of this article / attitude.

> It seems fairly safe to presume it was posted in anticipation of being upset with the results

Doesn't seem like a safe presumption to me. This is a congressional election and congress is not very popular with either partisan electorate. The simplest explanation is that this is a journalist capitalizing on popular sentiment and a hot topic with an article.
Both Bun and Deno aim to be batteries included, shipping Typescript and a test runner etc., by default. Deno initially aimed to diverge from Node and conform to the web platform as much as possible, i.e. use ES Modules and Web APIs over custom APIs. They've moved back towards Node over the last while to get more adoption. Bun broadly aims to be Node compatible, but they seem to try to stick to Web APIs too. Bun seems to value performance as a primary concern, with start-up time being an often-discussed metric. The value being improvements to local developer toolchains or fast starts in edge environments. Deno seems to value developer experience, with the goal being an overall better Node. They also benchmark performance against Node and seem to be faster in some places but not others. Finally, Bun uses the JavaScriptCore engine from Webkit, which it seems can be faster than V8 in some situations.

This is the perspective of a relatively detached observer who has played with both a little and kept up with their development somewhat but hasn't done a serious project with either.
Just a reminder, they have been blowing it for more than a decade because of the Obama administration's coziness to SV.

Had they taken a more balanced approach with mergers and acquisitions and providing basic checks on their corporate power rather than letting them do whatever they wanted, we likely wouldn't be in the situation we're in currently. Now we have to play catch up in enforcing laws against antitrust and anticompetitive and their entrenched power makes it much messier and it's also become entangled with the government also trying to apply pressure on social media companies fighting what it considers "misinformation".

> Binance found the truth

Binance saw the real game that SBF was planning: regulatory capture of the crypto exchanges market to get rid of Binance. When evidence impossible to deny came up to light, Binance decided to strike Alameda/FTX to death.

Funnily enough the regulation the ex-CFTC commissioner working for SBF was working on alongside officials may still pass and so Binance may still be totally screwed. But CZ was not going to go down alone and let SBF pull his incredible feat.

CZ wrote stuff like: "Sam isn't a team player", "He's working behind our back to pass legislation that'd prevent us from operate".

In other words: SBF wasn't just a scammer like tether/bitfinex/binance/justin sun etc. SBF was also working, not even in the shadows, to get rid of all of these guys.

No honor among thieves.

So CZ screwed him, very hard.
