I find it tone deaf because the vast majority of people are getting by on much, much less. I said $200K isn't that much because I was responding to the article saying $200K is in the 1%-5% and those making that much use offshore tax

To start with - the top 1% is a relatively accessible level of "rich." That's an L5/L6 software engineer at Google, or a mid career doctor. Are offshore tax shelters actually available and economically feasible to thes

Regarding your second point, I think it's more that people don't care as much about privacy if the consequences seem to be low/nonexistent, and they weigh their interest in platforms like Instagram, TikTok, etc. more highly t

I think in the long-term the first scenario will happen more so than the third, and the second, even if it does, will just be how Bitcoin is treated now. It's unlikely national governments will allow an unregulated digital currency to

Yea who knew there are thousands of Russians with similar names supporting the FSF and RMS..

by okprod 6y ago
The FSF as an incorporated entity holds copyright on software and authority over the GPL. Individual board and voting members can't really do anything, especially with RMS and his supporters on the board. Also, I don't think the c
