What’s the planned monetization model for all the terminal multiplexers backed by VC funding like Herdr, Rex, etc?

I’m sorry for being so dense, so what do you plan to do?

It sounds like selectivd site blocking is against your mission, so will you then just not offer Quad9 to any person in France instead (total blackout across all sites)?

Sorry if I’m missing the obvious or your stated solution.

Let's use Stripe as an example, there fee is 2.9% + 30 cents.

That 30 cents - is what's often ignored but makes up a disproportionate amount of the fee.

On a $30 transaction, paying 30 cents is equivalent to a 1% fee.

So Stripe on a $30 transaction is effectively 3.9% in fees (on a $30 transaction).

Interchange (which goes to the issuer), would only be approx 1.75% (of the 3.9% fee charged by Stripe).

What seems to be getting lost is that the acquirer, not the payment network, sets the Merchant Discount Rate. The acquirer is also the merchant’s direct payments provider.

Yet the acquirers seem to be always absent from these lawsuits.

Can you explain more as to why T&C don’t allow for this.

“Fractional” seems to be the modern-day buzzword for a 1099 contractor.

(and your experience will all depend upon the contractor)

> I raised an issue on the tracker

I thought OpenBSD / OpenSSH operate without a tracker and it’s all email distro based.

The title is a bit misleading because one might imply that Gleam no longer compiles to something Erlang can use (not true).

From the article:

> Over the last few months Giacomo Cavalieri has entirely rewritten Gleam's Erlang code generator that has an entirely different design, and most notably, outputs a different format. Previously Gleam generated Erlang source code, now it generates Erlang abstract forms.

I thought JetBrains is a private/bootstrapped company.

Where are these financials coming from?

F1 are effectively prototype cars.

Every GP is a slightly different car running bleeding edge tech and code.

It isn’t though.

Muse is:

- a single thread

- has avatars that you can name

- has approval cards

Now dots is similar in concept but that only launched a few days ago and Muse launched a month ago.

UI/UX

Many times, UI/UX makes all the difference in user adoption & use.

> I’m using the term “harness” broadly to mean all the infra, interfaces, context, and state that surround a stateless LLM

When the definition is that broad, aren’t you effectively already defining what SaaS is today.

Especially when you include interfaces in that definition.

Isn’t there selection bias though …

because if someone feels physically well enough to go to Burning Man, then the probability of them dying in the next week is near zero in comparison to the national average (which includes individuals hospitalized, terminally ill, etc).
