What a strange notion of "heroic".

I'm working on a shared bookmark manager called LinkPickle, mostly for my wife and I to send each other links. Think Linkwarden but pickle themed and not nearly as fleshed out.

This is going to keep happening until there are some real regulations with teeth in place.

If your private data is leaked, the company responsible should have to pay you some significant amount proscribed by federal law, regardless of whether or not you've had your identity stolen. A leak like this should bankrupt the company responsible.

This is because of the CHIPS act. Other than Trump's constant whinging about China, he didn't have anything to do with this.

That's exactly what it is: https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/subway-comes-up-with-5...

"Everyone" is quite a stretch. It's hard for me to see this as anything but a new toy for rich people.

Discrimination against who? The poors? Isn't that a major part of what banks do?

Looks like you're getting down voted a lot for this but it's all true. Trump only became president because the electoral college weighs geography higher than population. So does the senate.

Websites aren't the way they are because JavaScript frameworks exist or because these frameworks are popular. These frameworks exist to solve common problems and provide common features.

The web sucks because of the ubiquity of the advertising based funding model.

It's trivial to build a simple website with any of these frameworks that will be blazing fast. They don't become slow and bloated until you start adding tracking scripts and advertisements and whatever crazy UI bloat the site owners demand.

JavaScript didn't ruin the web, so-called market forces did.

The number of very wealthy people shopping at Walmart is probably so small that developing this feature wouldn't be worth the effort.

Because marketing departments like to have lots of features to advertise. There's a lot of money in selling people things they don't need or even want.

I love Fork. I only wish it ran on Linux.

I wish this offered some explanation for how they actually set this up.

Thank you for the explanation.

Why is this flagged? What rule does it violate?

I'm sure this will end well.

My first dev job was all WordPress stuff. The guy I worked for used the ability of clients to manage their own site as his main selling point. This was years before Gutenberg, and I don't think ACF was a thing yet. I spent a lot of time building forms to manage just about everything on the site. Almost no one used any of it except for publishing blog-style content.

We had one client who wanted this crazy design meant to look like a comic book splash page. Nothing was uniform or consistent. I spent weeks setting up all this bullshit so the client could customize every little thing. When I showed the client how to use it his only comment was something like "this clearly wasn't made to be easy to use."

I believe "whole site editing" just isn't a good idea for most clients who hire a web developer. Anyone who wants that much control will either build it themselves or use something like Square Space.

Except you don't need 2 million or even 1 million upfront to buy. That's what a mortgage is for. To pull off your plan, you would need at least a million upfront.

I don't see how that changes the fundamental issue. You have to have a huge amount of capital to even get this idea off the ground. Say your rent in nyc is $3500/month, that means you'd need around a million dollars in your savings to get started.

Say your rent is $1,500/month. That adds up to $18,000 per year. That means you'll need at least $450,000 in the bank, assuming a 4% APY, to earn that $18,000 in interest.

So, you'd need a pretty large amount of capital to start with to make this work.

I think a little bit of fear is a good thing when it comes to power tools, especially those that have spinning blades. That said, if you have the budget a SawStop might help you overcome your fear enough to start using a table saw.

You sound like a mechanic who dumps his used motor oil down a storm drain to avoid the expense of proper disposal. Yeah, it's good for you, but it pollutes the environment for everyone.

You are polluting the digital commons. You should be ashamed of yourself.

There are plenty of unscrupulous capitalists who will love this. Unscrupulous capitalists are people too.

This should be illegal.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Depending on how the final bill is written, simply equipping the vehicle with an AM radio might be enough to satisfy the regulation, even if the reception is so poor as to make it almost unusable.

Except that the US has been subsidizing fossil fuels, including coal, for decades.

> How will the "rich people" maintain privacy/secrecy after the Corporate Transparency Act?

I mean, I think the whole point of the act is to stop "rich people" from maintaining privacy/secrecy in regards to the businesses they own. And that's a good thing.

I tend to agree. All private land ownership, on the moon or anywhere else, essentially boils down to an age old-principle: might makes right.
