I do agree with everything you said, but a) I'd still rather the giant than jupiter and b) Nim still has a long way to go to prove itself. Just like D, it is in the awkward position of being high performance without fully addressing ei

> Glad he also threw in some "buy gold" scaremongering too. I'll bite; why is gold a bad investment? Does it not have low risk and stable value? Hell, these days it even has REAL value as a special metal.

I would have assumed it's referring to this: https://aws.amazon.com/message/65348/ I don't really see the point, though, I wouldn't want to host wikileaks either.

This is only as an employee. You're free to contract your own rate at whatever you'd like (including for free); while "salary" implies a full employment that doesn't look like the case here. EDIT: none of what I sai

Yea--I'm just saying this is a product of being a business, not Meyer. One can fight it and still give information over. You can't take the sign of struggle as a sign your data is safe.

RSS is terrible for reading. If you're lucky the file actually contains some of the text. But multimedia, the full article, or formatting? Forget it. In the general case it functions as a link aggregator and little more, but it's

Sure, but you don't need anything more than 1080p for an $80 vr headset. It's a value purchase, not a quality purchase.

Yes. Living for 500 years sounds exhausting, pointless, terrible for the environment and my descendants, and a selfish use of resources.
