Who thought a dark-grey font on black background is a good idea? I can barely read parts of the website. And from the screenshots it looks like the application itself has the same style?

I clicked 'Get started -> Login with GitLab.com' but for my tastes it wants way too much access just to add a runner:

> Grants complete read/write access to the API, including all groups and projects, the container registry, the dependency proxy, and the package registry.

Even more so just to stay informed about updates.

The median age of voters in the US is 50 years old (2019).

I think it's a fair assumption that majority of the 50 year old think about their retirement (meaning around 30 years into the future).

The list of countries with no low or negative birthrates is very short (mostly heavily underdeveloped countries). That's why the Gerontocracy applies nearly everywhere. I doubt it was favoured, but it's result is the shift of incentives from long term (young people) to short term (old people). Democracy fails here.

It's the basic 'flaw' of Democracy: Since the majority of the people are old, they will vote in the interest of old people. That's why the pension system will never be fixed.

It's definitely because of the free markets. Only because Init7, the provider who actually provides the 25 Gbit/s, is constantly fighting Swisscom, the government-owned provider.

The US in the 1960s was more capitalist than it is now (by governement size, spending, taxation, regulation and economic freeodm, too-big-to-fail, etc.).

There has to be profit first to be able to fund big things like Apollo. Profit is good.

> it can be reduced by denormalizing casual alcohol intake

This! I find it so strange that, in 2026, they still casually drink whisky in Hollywood movies and TV shows at the office and at home every time they encounter a tough situation. That subtle suggestion that alcohol will somehow help.

The only thing I currently miss is allowing me to use my own sub-domain for their Docker registry.

Switzerland is one of the best countries to be if you are rich, because it's safe and nobody will target you for driving a Porsche (probably the most common car brand in canton Zug), or similar.

So I'd be interested what he means too.

What is for sure better in the US: There is way more space.

The tour shows copies.

In this particular case, not even the bad guys (regardless of which side you consider them to be on) will take the job:

> No reputable news organization signed the new rule — not mainstream outlets like NPR, The Washington Post, CNN, and The New York Times, nor the conservative Washington Times or the right-wing Newsmax, run by a noted ally of President Trump.
