Corporations did that, not humans.

Are you saying that Anti money laundering rules should be scrapped?
How? This issue still seems to be open after 6 years: https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/5149
How is it different from CSVFiddle (which is also based on DuckDB-wasm, I think)? Ability to have multiple tables loaded and running join queries against them would be crucial.
Not if the minority opinion is right. The ground truth matters.
Flutter was a promising choice as it'd give me Windows, Mac OS and Linux build from a single codebase - and even the possibility of orgs running this internally as a self-hosted webapp. But one of the ideas I had was to bundle CyberChef with my app and open in a webview. Turns out, Flutter doesn't support webviews on desktop platforms at all. https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/devtoolbox/issues/4
There are existing projects like CyberChef and DevUtils, but I wanted an offline app that was at least eventually open-source. This also gave me an opportunity to explore Flutter for cross-platform desktop apps. Flutter gives the ability to build native GUI apps for Windows, Linux, MacOS _and_ Web (in case organizations want to self-host it internally for their entire team). The value proposition is unresistable, because the only real alternative seems to be Electron.
Mac and Windows builds have been tested. The UI style is standard from the macos_ui package.
So far, Flutter has been a pleasant experience but the desktop platform seems not quite ready for prime time. For example, webviews are only supported on Android and iOS.
In a way, crypto has given non-profits a way to take profits out to personal accounts.
> Can we kill the myth that your company is screwed if there are too many investors on your angel/seed round cap table? Having too many angel/seed investors on a cap table has never killed a single YC startup. For founders who are raising: if you can get the money you need and reduce dilution as much as possible - I don’t care if you collect 1 check or 20.
THe article author's point was not that metadata is being sent in the clear, but that the real goal of encryption is to be unable to manipulate social behaviour. And because WhatsApp controls the client, they are able to do this without breaking E2EE or leaking metadata.
Don't forget how Signal built MobileCoin integration completely in secret for a whole year. Public was kept in dark just so $MOB insiders could benefit handsomely.
Quality of content is not quite "subjective" in general. Perhaps in entertainment.
The reason why charities underfund public goods is because of the well-known free-rider problem. It's the same reason why cryptocurrencies need to collect transaction fees and reward miners and cannot rely on charitable miners. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-rider_problem
