I'm not really seeing a bloodbath, S&P 500 still up more than 10% YTD.

If that is a bloodbath then what term are they going to use for an actual crash?

I don't really care if they hand metadata to authorities. I want to replace "we give you free services, in return we spy on you, then we ALSO want you to pay us later and we'll still spy on you" with "pay us for our services, we literally can't spy on you bc of encryption".

Whoever has that will get my money, (well, except Proton because fuck that CEO).

I was considering buying their subscription but that's going to be a tough sell after reading this. Anyone have any good alternatives?

They are claiming that RFK's move here is addressing the "unregulated supply chain" aspect of this problem, but certainly the "no requirement to demonstrate safety or effectiveness" thing is still a problem.

I doubt it. This administration has shown the world that the US is capable of electing an administration that will do stupid shit. Even if they can trust the next administration what about the one after that?

They're sending us their worst.

From now on eating fast food will be known as "grub loading".

I started to consider how its possible to end up with someone this bad as press secretary.

Is it:

• No one with competence wants to work for this administration
• Someone close to her bought Trump's crypto
• they purposely put someone who is incompetent there as a "fuck you" to the press

All of the above?

Even if they didn't plan for it and build that compatibility layer, that boatload of cash gives them a lot of options.

It seems like a classic time-to-market and "don't step over good to get to perfect" example to me. Get a product out, start getting revenue, then make it perfect.

It seems like a good strategy to improve time-to-market by leveraging an existing engine, and then if you're successful enough then maybe you can afford to create your own.

Interesting, I thought I just read that TypeScript compiler was rewritten in Go and that they had good reasons for choosing Go over Rust.
