I don't know any but it should be possible in theory. It's difficult to imagine how someone would go about suing a DAO. Who would they sue? There is no legal entity to represent a DAO, all the rules of the business are defined in

This is BS. Money printing and 'trickle down' distribution of the newly created money is subsidizing incumbents and making it impossible for competitors to compete with them. Anyone who has worked for a big corporations knows how

The only way to get a raise is to change companies. Pretty much everyone in the software industry will agree on this. Also, the way employees are hired and the way salaries are negotiated is totally unfair. There is often no logic behind it

As reserve banks print more money, the money supply expands, this means more fiat chasing fewer goods. This is what makes house prices go up, which leads to increasing rent prices (real estate investors need the rental income to cover their

Whether or not individuals benefit from UBI isn't the point. The point is that it changes the nature of money printing in our economy from being top-down to being bottom-up and it changes the dynamics of how companies operate to get th

The real purpose of all these so-called 'security measures' which many Operating System software companies have implemented (e.g. dev licences, requiring programs to be signed) is to restrict users' ability to use software wr

That would be a great strategy and probably wouldn't cost much. Pay open source project authors to maintain popular projects. Right now, technologists in Europe are starved of capital. We have 0 surplus capital to take any risks or to

I haven't used antivirus software in over a decade. I consider them to be viruses themselves. Most of them are written by ex-hackers. My solution is to use Linux and to only download files I trust.

A lot of US wealth is fake wealth in the stock market which is propped up by artificial money printing. EU wealth is real wealth, mostly outside of the stock market and hidden from view. Any stock could be artificially propped up to be wort

This idea of giving entrepreneurs second chances is idiotic. It makes no sense. They say it's because of learning/experience. That's total BS. You've learned 10 times as much when you've had to launch your business

It's because most managers are incapable. They want to make sure that employees are spending the time. They don't care about actual production value. This makes no sense in a capitalist society. Of course, that's not the reas

The whole startup space is disgusting. There are a bunch of lucky founders 'chosen ones' who get a ton of VC funding; as soon as they accept VC funding, users 'magically' start pouring in (cabal/manipulation?), whic

Yes, but why take up space in the actual source code and repo? It increases space usage both in terms of disk space (which means more download time) for the library and requires more scrolling when reading the code. Also, if the library is

I think this argument makes perfect sense. Personally I don't like in-line documentation. It's mostly popular among people who depend on bulky proprietary IDEs. I hate all these approaches which try to trick people into using prop

Ever wondered why the most popular package managers which have the most modules are all for dynamically typed languages? e.g. npm, Ruby Gems, pip... It's because dynamically typed languages are more modular since they have less rigid i

I don't agree with this at all. There are many projects such as Node.js which have excellent, up-to-date documentation on their websites (for all past versions too). This is good for the Node.js project because it forces developers vis

It's not impossible because the author of the article themselves admit that there are many ways to fix this. I can already think of one possible way they could speed up the copy-paste from the zip file; by waiting until all files have

What we have today is not capitalism. Capitalism requires free markets. What we have today is a market propped up by money centralized printing. The winners are chosen by the money printer.

This article is intellectually dishonest; it's obviously trying to push forward an agenda. Any honest person who has participated in the economy in the past decade and possesses any common sense at all will know that BS jobs are real.

You can have multisignature wallets so that you only need signatures from 2/3 of members. It would be unlikely for many people to lose their keys.

There are some legitimate use cases for NFTs but art is not one of them. The best use case I can think of is a kind of DNS domain name system. The domain name is an NFT; it's unique and it provides value as it can be integrated with va

It's an interesting article but the term 'Leaky abstractions' is not suitable here. This abstraction is not leaky at all. It sounds like a great abstraction in fact. It's just the implementation that's slow and it&#

Only the least intelligent psychopaths get caught. The really smart ones are masters of PR; they can make themselves look more altruistic than actual altruists. They only show their true face once they no longer have a use for you. They are
