Not everything is business and there should be support for new infrastructure that falls outside the purview of businesses. I’m glad there’s some initiative from my Govt to address digital infrastructure woes. It’ll be interesting to see how it’ll pan out. However The most important thing is a periodic audit to avoid a Luca App like situation.
- xblpark 5y agoWho would do the audit? The people capable of doing so are either in major open source projects or in industry and have no time. Many government initiatives in Germany support friends and family and have poor results or none. Below someone is mentioning ARPA. I can assure you that nothing remotely like ARPA will come out of this. Different country, different times. Before any money is handed out, first I'd like to know who appointed the organizers and for what reason.
- FlyingSnake 5y agoI don’t know who can do the audit and that is my biggest concern about such initiatives apart from Nepotism. The fact that the Govt seems to be involved in optics rather than installing checks and balances makes me nervous. The fiascos of Luca app and Corona-warn reeks of graft and incompetence.
