That's not how pension funds work though. Pension funds are extremely conservative. They invest on horizons spanning decades. They can't just make decisions from one month to the next.
The very short time frame of an index accepting Tesla is the problem.
It's like telling a train "quick, make a right here"
And how do you suppose these rules were originally introduced? Do you believe that the reasoning was particularly solid then, and is it directly applicable in the current situation?
Yes. These rules were introduced, because that's the purpose of pension funds. To invest in very long-term ideas and assets. That's their whole purpose.
I'm not sure if we're debating here about the purpose of pension funds, or their strategy of investing in index funds. The first one doesn't change, the second one, maybe.
The article focuses on sqlai (which is their product) but I think it hits the nail on the head with the idea that we're moving towards a world where we're gonna have the data closer to us. Not only from a privacy POV but also to control what the app does, and just to have your phone / web app closer to the data source.
The people at self-hosting were right all along.
That was the premise of halloapp.
I think it was $5 a month and encrypted like WhatsApp, and you had a feed only from your contacts.
It was founded by a guy who worked for WhatsApp for a long time. Apparently it went under in 2024.
I think messaging is just a commoditized service. People will not pay for it
Unfortunately, I think the solution will be invite only services, communities, etc.
Someone needs to invite you to have access to it.
If you host your own blog then that might be okay to have public access, you would want everyone and everything to read it.
But if you're hosting your own photos, we might need tailscale like services to only allow certain people to access that.
He got done voted because that's an exaggerated claim. With no proof. Most of the articles on Wikipedia are just facts about nature, geography, history, etc and they don't need a newspaper as a source.
Not really, no. I'm in Dublin and I help organize a couple of them. We have 3 for June alone from our org alone. In Dublin there's something happening every 2-3 days.
That's not what he's saying. It's not about the programming language. It's about people contributing, putting effort into the project and being passionate about it and then someone else throwing all off that away.
Throwing all away by changing to a different programming language.
None of it is thrown away, it’s just now in a new language.
On top of that Bun is realistically a one man show with the vast majority of the code written by one dude. So the comment I replied to started from outrage and worked backwards to justify it without thinking too hard tbh.
The implication that you shouldn’t be able to change the programming language of your own project is also weird. Personally I welcome things like Typescript being rewritten in Go
When other people start to relying on you, you do develop some level of responsibility to them. That's not weird at all. If your project is your cat's website code, no one cares if it breaks. If you're project is something my project relies on that I use to put food on the table, yeah it's your project, but it's not remotely weird for me to have some sort of an opinion if I think you're yolo pulling rugs, and using hope as the strategy that you don't pull one that I'm standing on.
Strongly disagree.
USAID organized entrepreneurship programs in eastern europe when I was in high school and it's one of the reasons why I started my own business.
