Which app is immune to this?


Moxie doesn't care about sellout money. As I understand it he wants to run signal as a lifestyle business, and he has private donors keeping everything afloat. I'm not sure if it'll stay independant if Moxie ever leaves, but hopefully there's a stable org structure. Source: The JRE podcast he did a couple months back.

Also if they ever sell out, the server & clients are completely opensource. It wouldn't take much for someone else to fork the whole thing and run a competing service if we ever need to.

Keeping something secret amongst 230 people is not an easy task. At some point the campaign has to become public, and it's better to do that in a planned, coordinated manner, than have it get leaked to the press.

To users who are following along who aren't familiar, this is not how all unions works. Presumably the commenter is talking about "trade unions" which is one of many types of unions.


"rebuttal" is giving them way too much credit


If something is untyped in Sorbet, you can give it a type with `T.let`. So if the return value of function `foo` is untyped, but you have a high degree of confidence that it will return a `String`, you can do `ret = T.let(foo, String)`


> We don't need laws to see these as a public good.

Yes, actually you do.

yikes


Rust macros are intended to be powerful, by design.




I used to be in this situation. Then I started using https://convox.com/ and all my problems went away.
