> The upcoming year is going to be the test of strength for many database startups. Nobody wants to be the next MariaDB Corporation,

The link for "MariaDB corporation" points to an empty image with white colour background. Can anyone explain the context here?

> Basically, the Go team is a bunch of old white dudes, which already means the project is poorly managed from the start

This seems like a broad generalization. Can you please elaborate?

I wonder if the outcome would have been any different if the 737 MAX crashes had happened on the American soil and involved loss of American lives.

The median in 2021 was close to $300k as per this[0] source.

So? I don't get the relevance of the author count.

There's a survey done by Equality labs which is fundamental to this law and the one in Seattle city. Other scholars have argued[0] that this survey is flawed in many ways.

There was a case against Cisco systems for alleged caste-based discrimination, which also was often mentioned in such coverage in the past. It is noteworthy that the case was dropped. More details with legalese is here[1] and a piece by Hindu America Foundation (that opposes such bills) is here[2].

Not to say that caste is not an issue among Indians (in India), however using this survey as the ultimate truth and a source for creating laws does not seem wise.

On a lighter note - I saw a chat message that started with "Hey dude! How is it going". I'm disappointed that the response was not https://nohello.net/en/.

They might take a quick shower first. It was a long journey.

Same in India.

Maybe they watched it on a TV and do not have access to an ad blocker on the Youtube app on the TV.

> He wanted Aptos to have the universal appeal of the late NPR newscaster Carl Kasell and the astute tone of The Late Show host Stephen Colbert.

What is this even supposed to mean? In the context of font design.

Interestingly Germany has a similar law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Enforcement_Act). Based on a cursory read the Indian counterpart seems quite similar.

This is a future vision I can get behind.

Can you please explain what the fiasco about Watson is? I know Watson, but not the fiasco part.

> They say that any candidate who does not discuss gender or race must be awarded low marks. The same goes for any earnest classical liberal who “explicitly states the intention to ignore the varying backgrounds of their students and ‘treat everyone the same’.”

What is wrong with treating everyone the same? Isn't that anti-racist by definition?

> Of FAANG, only one company hasn't had major layoffs this year.

So far.

Fantastic article.

Did the MH370 incident change anything about the communication systems used by modern aircrafts?

Grass is greener on the other side.

Once you bidet you never go back to paper. I even carry a portable one when I travel.

Why is this comment being downvoted?

Paywalled, but the text below was visible.

> Meloni, who was elected in September, is finalising her first budget, which is due to include a rule allowing shopkeepers and businesses to refuse cards and demand cash for payments up to €60.

I am really curious to know her justification for this move.

Forza Juve!

> Indian interviewees said they earned 25,000 rupees ($306) per month on average, while the Costa Rican average was 514,000 colones ($843).

What explains the difference?

Maybe Mastodon already handles many of the following concerns. However I can imagine any organization would go through a series of questions before they start running their own server:

1. How much does it cost?

2. Who does it benefit?

3. Who takes the ownership of the deployment?

4. If something needs to be fixed with the deployment, who does that?

5. Why should I prefer this over say slack/teams, where I get support bundled in my contract?

6. What happens if someone puts up something nasty on the internal mastodon network? The legal department hates this one weird trick.

7. Does it create a headache for the HR department if people start violating their corporate code of conduct on the mastodon network?

Maybe I am pessimistic, but OP is probably being quite dreamy here.

Perhaps your "in country" number was not circulated well enough in the spam networks in a duration of one month?

Would some nation be bold enough to ban TikTok? India did it, but then India is at war with China, quite literally.
