> It may or may not continue to increase in value long-term, but it has little uses outside of being worth a lot of money.

So at worst: bitcoin > gold?

This just in: centralized authorities worried about the deflation of our fiat bubble and crypo currencies position as the next generation of digital commodities capitalize with FUD propaganda two weeks before a software patch (proposed last year) is rolled out exactly* in the way it is intended to.

Exactly :)

A lot of larger companies affected needed a wake up call regardless.

Thoughtful and a high quality statement, the world is black and white and most issues have no grey areas at all

Arguably one of the best things to come out of that whole incident was NPM's realization that the (then) entire system of dependencies had a huge issue; that is, the fact that one pissed of developer could break a massive amount of production codebases.

IMHO the incident was a good learning experience for the JS community as a whole and really shouldn't be framed so negatively all the time.

Interesting sidenote:

Last Thursday, after Trump illegally bombed Syria, #HandsOffSyria was becoming reasonably popular on Twitter. I remember making a few offhand tweets with the hashtag and the app on my phone suggesting it.

Last Saturday, I happened to be photographing the #HandsOffSyria protest which was going on in Toronto. I made a tweet about it and noticed that, oddly enough, the Twitter app was no longer suggesting the tag.

Seems to be working again now fwiw ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Perhaps the (presumed human) moderators at hasty (or unpopular) decision makers?

Employee burnout happens because the majority of businesses today cling to a 20th century, mass production designed, work model (9am-5pm workday, ass in seat productivity measure) while employees are forced squeeze their lives around a corporation for "security".

I recently wrote a post which outlines this idea in a slightly broader context (those interested can visit https://allidina.me, feedback & constructive criticism welcome).

Cheers!
