- Does the public have claim on all of these artists' art?
They all are now involuntary patreons.
- > What NPM should do if they really give a shit is start requiring 2FA to publish.
How does 2FA prevent malware? Anyone can get a phone number to receive a text or add an authenticator to their phone.
I would argue a subscrption model for 1 EUR/month would be better. The money received could pay for certification of packages and the credit card on file can leverage the security of the payments system.
- > In 10 years where do the senior dev's come from?
From company interns. Internships won't go away, there will just be less of them. For example, some companies will turn down interns because they do not have the time to train them due to project load.
With AI, now employed developers can be picky on whether or not to take on interns.
- > supply chain attacks
You all really need to stop using this term when it comes to OSS. Supply chain implies a relationship, none of these companies or developers have a relationship with the creators other than including their packages.
Call it something like "free code attacks" or "hobbyist code attacks."
- UCLA, where Tao works, has a 10B USD endowment. He will do just fine.
- > Could you summarize the contents of this video so we don't have to watch it?
Thermoelectric cooling is not very good and takes a lot of energy to do.
- > Trump is being handed EOs that he doesn't have a clue about.
Probably like every president before him.
No president like CEOs can know everything about the organization they head. They are mostly the face and mouthpiece, and depend on chiefs and VPs to tell them what needs to be done according to the agenda that CEO or president has put forth.
- > You have a President who is ordering the defunding of tons of groups (universities, media, aid, institutes) while not clearly having that authority
You have to read into this line from the article:
> Congress directly authorized and funded CPB
He may not have the authority, but his influence over certain congress people and CPB board members can get the process moving.
Also, I have always wondered why CPB cannot just cut federal ties and become a sponsored non-profit?
During all shows you always hear or see that they are sponsored or have grants from major Fortune 500s, private families, and other institutions.
Also, whenever this defund topic comes up, CPB always says, "we receive very little from the fed, so our funding is not much and can be ignored." Well now is the time to put up and split from the US federal government officially.

- Wow. First time hearing about Garnet. MS should package and deploy it as a service in the Azure SAAS offerings.
- > but rather as part of a global digital infrastructure fund
Sounds like a backdoor way to add a kill switch or censor filter to browsers from a central, unelected authority that does not respect the sovereignty and speech and media laws of the individual users' home countries.
No thanks, I'll take an open source, corporate controlled browser 10/10 times.
- > the toilet paper
I guess these US manufacturers will need to step it up: Kimberly-Clark, Procter & Gamble, and Georgia-Pacific
- > Airlines won't make the seats bigger since that would cut into margins
They would, but would non-business and non-wealthy consumers pay what it costs?

> millions spent by agency on travel, office renovations
all with no congressional oversight, only an executive director making unilateral decisions on tax payer money.
- > lacks accountability. It is insulated from ordinary congressional pressure because its funding comes from the Federal Reserve and not through the appropriations process.
Ok that makes sense. Why is CFB not overseen by the congress and is a separate agency without oversight?
- NVM, Ross was just freed
- > It's been a big issue for western european countries during the ukraine war.
In 2018, Germany (and France) were warned about their dependence and deals with Russia on oil and gas - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu57D9YcIk0
- You don't live in the city and see the cocktail hour, tini time signs and ads? Also, all the cocktail menus are for really sweet drinks.
I assume this is appealing to young or women drinkers?
- > Booze, cigarettes, gas
If the government took less of a tax cut from these items they would be a little more affordable.
Also, Z's still smoke, but it's in the form of Zyn patches and nicotine bars.
Booze is mostly a women and poor person thing now. And gas, most of the Z's don't seem to drive because their parents always chauffeured them.
Other than that, I am guessing junior roles will move offshore to supply the body shops where the corporate IT work has been going.
