Love your tool. Use it all the time. Thanks!!

> Despite all of its shortcomings, Wikipedia has been a relatively successful model. It is decentralized with an army of volunteers that try to stick to reliable sources. It leverages the fact that honest participants greatly outnumber malicious ones.

Also probably because the honest participants have a good reputation.

Yeah but you can cache the packages or store them in some fashion. I've seen JAR files in git repos far too many times...

With security, you need some online service so you can find the new CVEs every day.

It's scary having the CI/CD magically figure out what to do for you purely based on the files in your repo. I bet it would save a lot of time if you were actually able to use it for everything in your company. I'd rather write my own CI, which I do in Gitlab CI.

This is fantastic. Also not sure how my browser is not crashing. Well done!

Its mastermind with letters... not original and not hard to implement. To monetize, the majority of work would be monetization stuff. That sounds like it wouldn't be fun.

It's like a certificate of authenticity. If you buy a nice watch which comes with a piece of paper saying that Rolex made it, what's actually worth money here? The watch is worth the money, provided you can prove that it was made by Rolex and not a knockoff. Is the certificate of authenticity itself worth money? Ehh... sort of... but only if you have the watch its authenticating. Who would buy the piece of paper alone?

What about if i can make infinite identical copies of the watch? Things stop making sense once there is no scarcity.

This is a strange argument. Are you saying that we should never raise minimum wage? It isn't even keeping up with inflation.

As for the history books, I recall we've raised the minimum wage in the past. The US still exists, so i guess the history books say its ok?

We need at least 2 lens flares and a firework in order for it to be addictive. Maybe if the "new card smell" contained some nicotine?

I think a tax system this simple would be similarly simple to audit. Or maybe you would calculate your consumption tax at the end of the year, and then it wouldn't matter who you buy from.

I don't think you can "withdraw" money from a company you own. Probably John Smith Inc. would pay John Smith the 100k/year as a salary... a salary which is taxed. But, then again, the Planet Money article says to eliminate income tax as well.

Their solution: > Instead, impose a consumption tax, designed to be progressive to protect lower-income households.
