I'm afraid there may be less open source projects in the future as if you become successful by being community driven open source, you get run over by AWS once you get big enough and the project will end up being more closed to only of

Because they want to hide where the smoke is coming from at all costs if it's a fraud. They had the investigation on hold for a few years.

If what you only say is, it is backed, without proof, how hard is it to imagine to get down voted? If you have a proof to back your claim, feel free to share to get the upvote you're looking for.

No, people sell BTC to get Tether, in which case, what did the previous BTC owner buy if it's not backed up with USD?

> Even if tether wasn’t backed by dollars on a 1:1 basis, it would have a small impact on the current market cap of bitcoin. Are you joking? You seem to think the world works only by mathematical formulas but in fact if the crypto market

Not to mention no one has a mental toughness to hold through every huge rally and dumps over the past 12 years and you'd be losing quite a bit of that anyway.

Bitcoin is relatively stable and has a mathematical backing. Gold does not.

Can you mention specific self hosted apps that you think are great?

It's not just $... And why not just install jQuery? What's the big deal? Where can I find the short aliased library? (If it's not there, I guess it's not a popular idea.)

Feature parity isn't exactly the reason to drop it.... $ is easier to type than document.querySelector and it absorbs browser differences.

If you actually take the word "contribute" to a better degree, if a work can be done by anyone even though the society needs it, it's not much of a contribution.

(To the [deleted] sibling comment) Salary is a salary with a fixed value. If it's justified is what he does and not where he lives. He can live like a celebrity and waste it all or can live like a student to save, that is up to the dev

Are you suggesting one should pay more because his living expense is higher than the other? You should pay for how much is being contributed. The only thing that should lower the pay is developer's own satisfaction. In other words, one

But who else could've turned down such a huge profit business model as Apple did? We could see Apple become as crazy as Google on advertising business, yet they turned it down. I like how they're "Kill the evil" than the

So, why not get another guy? 8 mean how hard is it to moderate tagging? It's wasting millions of hours of people because you can't filter out 95% of the news one is not interested in.

If they lose control and starts putting profit up front as their primary objective than developer spirits, I'm sure many will move to vs code and vs code may speed up its development with more eyes and hands.

Personal license is already low... You'd be paying in the range of $10/mo. I'd rather complain to companies like Adobe to ask for $50/mo with their domination because of their proprietary file format.

Agreed. Never felt that their own bug tracker is impressive compared to other online services. It's just messy and not easy on the eyes. Maybe a different team is working on it?
