The real irony here is that a lot of ycombinator founders and the people reading HN were exactly the ones making this possible and now start to wonder why the snake eats its own tail.
- cantrecallmypwd 1y agoSorry, I made the mistake of installing PyPy.
- hubabuba44 1y agoI assume that this comment should go somewhere else or I'm not able to decipher the message ;)
- jampekka 1y agoPyPy's logo is a snake eating its tail.
- hubabuba44 1y agoCool thanks!
- cantrecallmypwd 1y agoSorry and thanks GP. ;o) Your nerd card had been validated for today. Go forth, ethically.* :D * Oops, I introduced 2 more programming languages, my bad.
- this15testingg 1y agoexactly; I hope ycombinator and its proponents can enjoy living in the ancap fantasy land where you have to pay to be alerted for a climate change fueled mega hurricane (also caused by this exact same reckless, unregulated greed) because NOAA was disbanded. Billionaires shouldn't exist, but neither should millionaires.
- sebstefan 1y agoYou don't need MITRE For-profit private journaling is working really well for academia!
- ourmandave 1y agoWill they have a free tier where I can sit through 30 second ads? =(
- mrguyorama 1y agoThe insurance industry long ago figured out that nothing has the profit to effort ratio of "pay us or die", and so any capitalist endeavor that is not somehow restrained will attempt to approach this perfection.
- selfmodruntime 1y agoThe missing funding is something like 2 million dollars. Any US company could make this issue go away in an instant.
- hubabuba44 1y agoWe will see. I understand that money shouldn't be an issue but trust might be, no?
- Sonnigeszeug 1y agoIts not a money problem, its a understanding problem. Shouldn't the most powerful country has something like this? Being even in the forefront of it? The USA was doing cyberprotection against Russia and cyberattacks across the world. Now suddenly it doesn't need it anymore? Like just did Russia go away (or has russia won and sits now in the white house)?
- drstewart 1y agoYou're right. I don't understand why the EU wasn't funding it and isn't funding it now. I thought they're united against Russia?
- lentil_soup 1y agobecause they already do? https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/ https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/ please, stop spreading your weird anti-europe views
- drstewart 1y agoGreat. Then there's no loss here. What's the big deal?
- sweezyjeezy 1y agoYour comments feel a bit incoherent - just extend your reasoning for why you think Europe should want to fund this back to the US again.
- nosianu 1y agoOr they wanted this, because this could be part of the privatization of many government functions. They, or at least some of them, could see this as controlling this function for money. It's a regular stream too, the valuable subscription model and customers who really need the service (and if they don't, just add a new law in the name of IT security forcing firms to sign up).
- hubabuba44 1y agoTo me it looks too chaotic to be a planned privatization plan but who knows.
