   As long as there is democracy yes, this is the best it gets. Cherish it, because it will get much worse over time.

   Sure, nobody says you have to use their software. But don't claim that they don't give back or that it's purposeless.

   No, C and Rust definitely don't do the same things. If the project is open source, I don't see how any maintenance concerns are relevant - everybody can judge for themselves.

   They're literally funding an organization that will take software to the next level and share it with the world, what more do you want?

   And? Google can't decide to fund organization that rewrites open source projects, or what? How is that different from forking the projects - apart from Google not taking anything at all?

   It's clearly not news - makes perfect sense. Lawmakers have to learn that playing stupid games leads to winning stupid prizes. Perhaps they should've made a law against misinformation first.

    Less? This is going to lead to more, not less. Disinformation thrives when real news are banned.

    Eh, no, please don't try to do this, that's the first step towards a really terrible world. We always assume innocence first, there needs to be proof to claim otherwise. There were many more people who invested at the same time an

    DFV never said a thing about short squeezing. Watch his content, don't trust the media. He bought the stock as a long term investment because he thought it's severely undervalued and it will rise with new leadership.

    South East Asia is big on government-led venture capital and state-run business incubators/accelerators and other kinds of business development activities. Even the communist countries.

    That's because of lawful KYC requirements.

    That's TypeScript and it works only with type signatures, you still have only one actual implementation.

    How are they going to distinguish ATM withdrawal->any transaction from ATM withdrawal->crypto transaction? Additionally, do you really think a Nigerian bank would close the majority of its accounts just because the government said so?

    Most people in CZ have around 24k CZK/month, and 240k/month is certainly doable for a programmer. Not an average one, that's true - though not necessarily the best one, there's still plenty room to the top. Shoot me an e

    It's most probably more of south/eastern thing, but it definitely exists here literally as I am describing it - even the government acknowledged it in their yearly statistics; even the EU did actually.

    UK isn't in EU, is it? Makes sense though - as all of you and not just programmers are rather well paid compared to people in continental EU, the difference is not that huge. Where I am the average programmer has 5-10x more than any

    I don't know about elsewhere in the US but here in [edit: south-eastern] EU programmers basically formed their own social class, one considered even higher than executives, top tier managers etc.

    How do we fix this? I'm prepared to get my hands dirty, but it seems like I'll accomplish nothing - if I at least knew what to do.

    Nope, something different here. Google results are personalized (not just by user preferences but also history, location, time of day, etc). Seems like Google assumes you want to to visit that page, so it's third for you (after Wikiped

    If it's there, show me. It's absolutely not useless to me, I will pay many hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly for it. But my gut tells me it's just a sensational headline.
